A few functions in this file were incautious about multiplying a possibly large integer by a factor more than 1 and then using it as an allocation size. This is harmless on 64-bit systems where we'd compute a size exceeding MaxAllocSize and then fail, but on 32-bit systems we could overflow size_t, leading to an undersized allocation and buffer overrun. To fix, use palloc_array() or mul_size() instead of handwritten multiplication.
