1 Git v2.5.4 Release Notes
2 ========================
4 Fixes since v2.5.4
5 ------------------
7 * xdiff code we use to generate diffs is not prepared to handle
8 extremely large files. It uses "int" in many places, which can
9 overflow if we have a very large number of lines or even bytes in
10 our input files, for example. Cap the input size to soemwhere
11 around 1GB for now.
13 * Some protocols (like git-remote-ext) can execute arbitrary code
14 found in the URL. The URLs that submodules use may come from
15 arbitrary sources (e.g., .gitmodules files in a remote
16 repository), and can hurt those who blindly enable recursive
17 fetch. Restrict the allowed protocols to well known and safe
18 ones.
