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.
Nice spotting.
Silly bonus question: What's the purpose of the "+ 1" and "- 1", which seem to cancel each other out?
Fabian, we are in -rc phase where we concentrate on fixing bugs in the new code in 'master'. A quick ack, "here is a better way to fix it", or "no, that won't be needed because..." is very much appreciated. Thanks.
