setup_regexp_matches() sizes the buffer used to convert matched substrings back from pg_wchar form at the smaller of maxlen*eml and the original string's byte length, on the assumption that such a conversion cannot produce more bytes than the string it came from. That assumption holds only for validly encoded input. But pg_mb2wchar_with_len() silently accepts bytes that are invalid in the database encoding, turning each such byte into one pg_wchar, and converting that back can take more bytes than the input did. A string made of such bytes therefore overruns the conversion buffer by up to its own length, corrupting the following memory. regexp_match(), regexp_matches(), regexp_split_to_table() and regexp_split_to_array() are all affected. Fix by dropping the tighter bound and always allocating maxlen*eml + 1 bytes.
