memory allocation error

[zhunki]

there is a extra large memery allocation error which can be detected by addresssanitizer.

==31613== ERROR: AddressSanitizer failed to allocate 0x80003000 (-2147471360) bytes of LargeMmapAllocator: Cannot allocate memory

the source code around here are:
bplist.used_indexes = (uint32_t*)malloc(sizeof(uint32_t) * num_objects);
the num_objects equals to a very large number.

This is a good one, it bypasses this check for the size of the offset table:

if (offset_table + num_objects * offset_size >= plist_bin + length)

because offset_size is 0. I will add a check for the sanity of the offset_size.

Any plans for a new release? 1.12 is from 2014 and there have been many security fixes since then
