I'm talking about this line

  uint8_t *buffer = new (std::nothrow) uint8_t[size + chunk_size];

size + chunk_size is clearly unsafe to truncate to 32 bits, but it truncates anyway. When I say 'inside the new operator' I'm including the allocation function. Something truncates it. If it actually allocated 8GB, or failed to allocate 8GB, there would be no exploit.
