[PATCH v3] [BZ #15857] malloc: Check for integer overflow in memalign.



A large bytes parameter to memalign could cause an integer overflow
and corrupt allocator internals. Check the overflow does not occur
before continuing with the allocation.

ChangeLog:

2013-08-16  Will Newton  <will.newton@linaro.org>

	[BZ #15857]
	* malloc/malloc.c (__libc_memalign): Check the value of bytes
	does not overflow.
