The number of records in the root key array read from disk was not being validated against the size of the root node. This could lead to an out-of-bounds read. This patch adds a check to ensure that the number of records in the root key array does not exceed the expected size of a root node read from disk. If this check detects an out-of-bounds condition the operation is aborted to prevent random errors due to metadata corruption.
