Description Riccardo Schirone 2018-07-04 07:36:14 UTC
An unexpected sign extension in git_delta_apply function leads to an integer overflow in the bounds check, allowing to bypass it and to read some bytes before the `base` object. An attacker may use this flaw to get an information leak or cause a Denial of Service.
