Subject: lib/ts_kmp: fix integer overflow in pattern length calculation
Date: Sun, 8 Mar 2026 20:20:28 +0000

The ts_kmp algorithm stores its prefix_tbl[] table and pattern in a single
allocation sized from the pattern length.  If the prefix_tbl[] size
calculation wraps, the resulting allocation can be too small and
subsequent pattern copies can overflow it.

Fix this by rejecting zero-length patterns and by using overflow helpers
before calculating the combined allocation size.
