After the first fix to the struct package I found another similar
problem, which is fixed by this patch. It could be reproduced easily by
running the following script:

    return struct.unpack('f', "xxxxxxxxxxxxx",-3)

The above will access bytes before the 'data' pointer.

During an auditing Apple found that the "struct" Lua package
we ship with Redis (http://www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/struct/) contains
a security problem. A bound-checking statement fails because of integer
overflow. The bug exists since we initially integrated this package with
Lua, when scripting was introduced, so every version of Redis with
EVAL/EVALSHA capabilities exposed is affected.

Instead of just fixing the bug, the library was updated to the latest
version shipped by the author.

Fix issue #2855

There was a bug in the previous version of this library that caused a
crash under the circumstances described in issue #901.

The newer version of the library appears to be fixed (I tested it
manually with valgrind and everything seems fine now).
