(This is a cherry-pick of
390b3cbbb, which I hadn't realized wasn't
backpatched. It was originally reported to security@ and determined not
to be a vulnerability; thanks to Stanislav Osipov for noticing the
omission in the back branches.)
In case of torn UTF8 in the input data we might end up going
past the end of the string since we don't account for length.
While validation won't be performed on a sequence with a NULL
byte it's better to avoid going past the end to beging with.
Fix by taking the length into consideration.
