Summary0002329: Segmentation fault on viewing web page
DescriptionAttempting to view a recommended link on Bridget McKenna's writing blog - whether by double-clicking on the URL in a StrongED window, by typing the URL into NetSurf's "Open URL" dialogue box, or by navigating to the blog via the link on the website's main page - causes NetSurf to crash.
Steps To ReproduceVisit http://www.bridgetmckenna.com/blog/self-editing-for-everyone-part-1-the-most-hated-writing-advice-ever
 
Additional InformationBehaviour first since in version 2774; still present in v2820. Disc cache set to 0 Mb.

I have a couple of log files, but there seems to be very little information in them - has logging been disabled in the latest version of Netsurf?
TagsNo tags attached.
Fixed in CI build #2821

Additional debugging shows that in utils/nsurl.c the function nsurl__create_from_section() gets called four times (on that page) and the issue occurs the fourth time through.

The section dealing with non-redundant ports (starting line 973) the lwc_intern_string() is called with a pointer to a null byte and a length of -8
the lwn_intern takes a size_t (unsigned) so is getting passed a very large length which causes the segfault.

this is supposed to be protected by the flag setting on line 969

 if (length - (colon - pegs->at + skip) <= 0) {
   /* No space for a port after the colon */
   flags |= NSURL_F_NO_PORT;
 }

however the arithmetic is all *unsigned* so the condition never matches

(gdb) p length - (colon - pegs->at + skip)
$9 = 18446744073709551608

replacing the check with:
 if (length <= (colon - pegs->at + skip))

fixes the check and stops the attempt to use a negative length
