[Python-checkins] r73871 - python/trunk/Objects/unicodeobject.c

New Revision: 73871

Log:
Grow the allocated buffer in PyUnicode_EncodeUTF7 to avoid buffer overrun.

Without this change, test_unicode.UnicodeTest.test_codecs_utf7 crashes in
debug mode. What happens is the unicode string u'\U000abcde' with a length
of 1 encodes to the string '+2m/c3g-' of length 8. Since only 5 bytes is
reserved in the buffer, a buffer overrun occurs.
