Due to how the range span globbing code works, a range that ends with 9223372036854775807 (the maximum signed 63 bit value) cannot be used as it triggers an integer overflow.

Verified in test 2092

Pull request overview

This PR prevents an integer overflow in curl tool URL range-globbing when the numeric range ends at 9223372036854775807 (i.e., CURL_OFF_T_MAX on typical 64-bit builds). It adds a regression test to ensure the tool fails safely instead of overflowing.

Changes:

  • Add a numeric-range validation guard in src/tool_urlglob.c to avoid curl_off_t overflow when advancing the range counter.
  • Add new regression test tests/data/test2092 covering a range that ends at 9223372036854775807.
  • Register the new test in tests/data/Makefile.am.
