+Issue 192: Crash when sending specially crafted packet
+Author: Christos Tsantilas <christos@chtsanti.net>
+
+This is an unsigned to signed integers conversion problem.
+Inside the following functions:
+ process_bin_sasl_auth
+ process_bin_complete_sasl_auth
+ process_bin_update
+ process_bin_append_prepend
+
+there is the following or a similar statement:
+ int vlen = c->binary_header.request.bodylen - nkey;
+
+The c->binary_header.request.bodylen is an unsigned int which if it is bigger
+than the INT_MAX and converted to a signed int will result to a negative number
+causing segfaults to memcached.
+The c->binary_header.request.bodylen is the request body length defined by
+the client request. Random bytes sent to the memcached may interpeted
+as a normal request with huge body data.
+This patch just add a check and reject requests which report huge body data.
