    Bug 789613 - core: Fix integer overflow on 64 bit systems · f98d1b3a

    The C language only promotes data values up to (un)signed int,
    which is 32 bit, if no larger data type is used within the
    calculation. Having a multiplication of two gint variables,
    even if the expected target variable is of type gsize (64 bit),
    leads to a possible integer overflow.
    
    This bug can be triggered in gimp_temp_buf_new, which is used
    to allocate memory for given supplied dimensions and bytes per
    pixel. If triggered, less memory than needed is allocated and
    therefore allows out of boundary accesses, either resulting in
    possible code execution or information leakage.
    
    While at it, make sure that the supplied format can actually be
    resolved to a bytes per pixel value. If not, return NULL.
