pretty: restrict input lengths for padding and wrapping formats Both the padding and wrapping formatting directives allow the caller to specify an integer that ultimately leads to us adding this many chars to the result buffer. As a consequence, it is trivial to e.g. allocate 2GB of RAM via a single formatting directive and cause resource exhaustion on the machine executing this logic. Furthermore, it is debatable whether there are any sane usecases that require the user to pad data to 2GB boundaries or to indent wrapped data by 2GB. Restrict the input sizes to 16 kilobytes at a maximum to limit the amount of bytes that can be requested by the user. This is not meant as a fix because there are ways to trivially amplify the amount of data we generate via formatting directives; the real protection is achieved by the changes in previous steps to catch and avoid integer wraparound that causes us to under-allocate and access beyond the end of allocated memory reagions. But having such a limit significantly helps fuzzing the pretty format, because the fuzzer is otherwise quite fast to run out-of-memory as it discovers these formatters.

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):
