Fix CVE-2020-24342 lua: buffer overflow in luaO_pushvfstring

Summary

Lua is a powerful light-weight programming language designed for

extending applications. Lua is also frequently used as a

general-purpose, stand-alone language. Lua is free software.

Lua combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data description

constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. Lua

is dynamically typed, interpreted from bytecodes, and has automatic

memory management with garbage collection, making it ideal for

configuration, scripting, and rapid prototyping.
