Ruby vulnerability: heap corruption in DateTime.strftime() on 32 bit for certain format strings

Response by Ruby team: “severe but usual bug, not a vulnerability.”
Fixed in https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/58e8c9c895cc21473d6e46978666016a6e627d5f

Setting a very high precision in the date_strftime_with_tmx() function,
the following check (in the STRFTIME macro in date_strftime.c) will not
work as expected if s >= 0x80000000.

124         if (start + maxsize < s + precision) {          \
125             errno = ERANGE;                 \
126             return 0;                       \
127         }

This code causes a crash on my 32 bit system:

require 'date'
DateTime.now.strftime("%2147483647c")

64 bit is probably not affected (technically possible, but
unlikely).
