A flaw was found in Git. This vulnerability allows an attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by crashing the application. During the processing of binary patches, size validation incorrectly inspects the compressed input rather than the expanded data. By submitting a specially crafted binary patch, an attacker can bypass this check and trigger an out-of-bounds memory read.
