Subject: [PATCH] Fix length-check before populating propnames

The earlier length check did not check enough bytes. But rather
than fixing the off-by-one, it makes more sense to do a single
check at the start of the loop.

Resolves CVE-2017-9058.

Although, the second piece of the code/patch wasn't applied to trusty because it hasn't ytnefprint. I'm not sure if I got it right, but you are meaning even for Trusty only this patch doesn't solve the issue?

@Michael, I agree with you, but right now for bionic and xenial this package is in universe what means it's a community question of time it be update with those CVEs.
