Hi, Mike. I have checked the example code you provided, and the
difference between
those codes and the patched code is that those checks are checks for
unsigned integer
 overflow, which is well-defined. Only undefined behavior poses a
security risk. So they
 don't need any modifications. I have only found one occurrence of
signed number
overflow so far.

Thank you for your valuable feedback.
