[PATCH 1/2] gpg-interface: handle missing " with " gracefully in parse_ssh_output()

From: René Scharfe <hidden>
Date: 2021-10-30 17:05:05
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

If the output of ssh-keygen starts with "Good \"git\" signature for ",
but is not followed by " with " for some reason, then parse_ssh_output()
uses -1 as the len parameter of xmemdupz(), which in turn will end the
program.  Reject the signature and carry on instead in that case.

Signed-off-by: René Scharfe <redacted>

This code was added after v2.33.0.
Patch formatted with --inter-hunk-context=2 for easier review.

Silly bonus question: What's the purpose of the "+ 1" and "- 1", which
seem to cancel each other out?
