Subject: [PATCH] git-mailinfo may corrupt patch headers on attached files
Date: Sun,  6 Jul 2008 17:21:01 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1215379261-10802-1-git-send-email-dzickus@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <alpine.LFD.1.10.0807061036500.3016@woody.linux-foundation.org>

Boundary lines in emails are treated as a special case.  As a result of
processing the boundary line a new line will be read into the buffer.

The string length variable 'len' is evaluated before the boundary case, thus
there is the possibility the length of the string does not match the new
line read in (in the boundary line case).  This causes a partial output of
the line to the patch file.

The fix is trivial, evaluate the length of the string right before
processing it.

I noticed this the other day, just never got a chance to send the fix out.
This might be the same problem I ran into.

Cheers,
Don
