[Bug libc/17715] Robustify TZ file parser and reduce attack surface


https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17715

--- Comment #4 from Florian Weimer <fweimer at redhat dot com> ---
The issue appears to be related to lack of checking of num_isstd, num_isgmt in
__tzfile_read.  The code is difficult to review, and this code may have other
issues.

There is also an unbounded alloca further down (in the sizeof (time_t) == 4
case), which also needs to be changed.
