Hi,
I'd like to request permission to merge this commit to Boost.MySQL: https://github.com/boostorg/mysql/commit/466675d89aaac199118c5ff65676fc9a552...
It fixes a case of undefined behavior when reading packets from the server that exceed ((std::numeric_limits<std::size_t>::max() >> 1) + 1) in size. The UB case was introduced during this release. I'm concerned that it may be eventually exploitable, so I'd prefer to ship it before the release.
Thanks, Ruben.
Go ahead, curious to see if returning "(size_t)-1" from a function called "next_power_of_two" won't give you problems in the future ;-) Best, Ion
