Oh, I was so distracted last time that I wrote the explanation
incorrectly. I'm sorry.

To explain it accurately, if you pass a very large value to agstart
and set the value passed to db_agl2size to be small, it can be
manipulated so that a value greater than MAXAG is output when the
"agstart >> db_agl2size" operation is performed.
This results in an out-of-bounds vulnerability.

And the final patch before is the one that fixes diRead().

Thanks.
