// This checker detects a common memory allocation security flaw.
// Suppose 'unsigned int n' comes from an untrusted source. If the
// code looks like 'malloc (n * 4)', and an attacker can make 'n' be
// say MAX_UINT/4+2, then instead of allocating the correct 'n' 4-byte
// elements, this will actually allocate only two because of overflow.
// Then when the rest of the program attempts to store values past the
// second element, these values will actually overwrite other items in
// the heap, probably allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary code.
