Nicholas Husin 5c3d61c886 [release-branch.go1.24] encoding/asn1: prevent memory exhaustion when parsing using internal/saferio
Within parseSequenceOf, reflect.MakeSlice is being used to pre-allocate
a slice that is needed in order to fully validate the given DER payload.
The size of the slice allocated are also multiple times larger than the
input DER:

- When using asn1.Unmarshal directly, the allocated slice is ~28x
  larger.
- When passing in DER using x509.ParseCertificateRequest, the allocated
  slice is ~48x larger.
- When passing in DER using ocsp.ParseResponse, the allocated slice is
  ~137x larger.

As a result, a malicious actor can craft a big empty DER payload,
resulting in an unnecessary large allocation of memories. This can be a
way to cause memory exhaustion.

To prevent this, we now use SliceCapWithSize within internal/saferio to
enforce a memory allocation cap.

Thanks to Jakub Ciolek for reporting this issue.

Fixes #75704
Fixes CVE-2025-58185
