[New-bugs-announce] [issue23446] Use PyMem_New instead of PyMem_Malloc

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka:

Proposed patch replaces PyMem_Malloc with PyMem_New if the former is used in the form PyMem_Malloc(len * sizeof(type)). This can fix possible overflow errors and makes the code cleaner.
