Git v2.5.4 Release Notes
|
|
|
|
|
========================

Fixes since v2.5.4
|
|
|
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* xdiff code we use to generate diffs is not prepared to handle
|
|
|
|
|
extremely large files. It uses "int" in many places, which can
|
|
|
|
|
overflow if we have a very large number of lines or even bytes in
|
2016-08-09 08:53:38 +00:00
|
|
|
our input files, for example. Cap the input size to somewhere
|

|
|
|
around 1GB for now.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Some protocols (like git-remote-ext) can execute arbitrary code
|
|
|
|
|
found in the URL. The URLs that submodules use may come from
|
|
|
|
|
arbitrary sources (e.g., .gitmodules files in a remote
|
|
|
|
|
repository), and can hurt those who blindly enable recursive
|
|
|
|
|
fetch. Restrict the allowed protocols to well known and safe
|
|
|
|
|
ones.
