Description:
------------
Refer to bug #72455
The fix is not sufficient. PoC still crash. The overflowed variable is data_len (when casting to int), not data_size. In the PoC, data_size is 0x20 and data_len is 0xfffffff0.

Define data_size and block_size as size_t is much more elegant:

Not sure why block_size should be size_t... I have never seen a block cypher with blocks so huge it doesn't fit into int.
 [2016-08-11 05:32 UTC] loianhtuan at gmail dot com 
Some can ask the same question: why it should be int? Negative value means nothing here. So I prefer size_t for future proof. Btw, it's up to you. :D
