Subject: spice CVE-2018-10873: post-auth crash or potential heap corruption
 when demarshalling

Frediano Ziglio reported a missing check in the code generated by
spice-common/python_modules/demarshal.py, which could be exploited to
cause integer overflow leading to a crash and/or heap OOB read/writes.

The generated code is used in both client and server, so both are
vulnerable.  The most obvious outcome is a crash (since the overflowed
integers are very large), but it's possible a crafty attacker could
leverage this into worse, even RCE.  Demarshalling code is only used
post-authentication, so attacking a server would require valid
credentials.

The attached patch fixes both demarshal.py and the generated code.  This
is planned to be included in forthcoming releases spice 0.14.1 and
spice-gtk 0.36.
