Revision b3118bdc91876cbc04b7e81dcf7bea71d86ce4f8 authored by Shawn O. Pearce on 14 October 2009, 14:23:51 UTC, committed by Junio C Hamano on 14 October 2009, 20:39:37 UTC
Some types of corruption to a pack may confuse the deflate stream which stores an object. In Andy's reported case a 36 byte region of the pack was overwritten, leading to what appeared to be a valid deflate stream that was trying to produce a result larger than our allocated output buffer could accept. Z_BUF_ERROR is returned from inflate() if either the input buffer needs more input bytes, or the output buffer has run out of space. Previously we only considered the former case, as it meant we needed to move the stream's input buffer to the next window in the pack. We now abort the loop if inflate() returns Z_BUF_ERROR without consuming the entire input buffer it was given, or has filled the entire output buffer but has not yet returned Z_STREAM_END. Either state is a clear indicator that this loop is not working as expected, and should not continue. This problem cannot occur with loose objects as we open the entire loose object as a single buffer and treat Z_BUF_ERROR as an error.

GIT - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
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.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.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).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
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. 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
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.
The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
