But int should be more than sufficient to accommodate that number.

I think that the overflow takes place during the execution of this statement:

len += (num_ghes * GHES_ESOURCE_PREALLOC_MAX_SIZE);

because the right-hand side of it is of type int, because both
multiplication operands are int.

You should say that in the changelog.
