    CVE-2014-0209: integer overflow of realloc() size in lexAlias() from xorg/lib/libXfont commit 05c8020a49416dd8b7510cbba45ce4f3fc81a7dc
    
    lexAlias() reads from a file in a loop. It does this by starting with a
    64 byte buffer.  If that size limit is hit, it does a realloc of the
    buffer size << 1, basically doubling the needed length every time the
    length limit is hit.
    
    Eventually, this will shift out to 0 (for a length of ~4gig), and that
    length will be passed on to realloc().  A length of 0 (with a valid
    pointer) causes realloc to free the buffer on most POSIX platforms,
    but the caller will still have a pointer to it, leading to use after
    free issues.
