This is called from rsc_parse() with a use controlled value. Say for
example that "gidsetsize" is negative, then we could end up allocating
less than sizeof(struct group_info) leading to memory corruption.

I copied the NGROUPS_MAX limit from the surrounding code, I'm not
absolutely that it's the correct limit to use.
