CVE-2018-20406: Integer Overflow

Modules/pickle.c in Python before 3.7.1 has an integer overflow via a large LONGBINPUT value that is mishandled during a "resize to twice the size" attempt. This issue might cause memory exhaustion, but is only relevant if the pickle format is used for serializing tens or hundreds of gigabytes of data.
