From: Johannes Schindelin Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2017 20:19:26 GMT Subject: [PATCH 03/26] winansi: avoid buffer overrun Message-ID: <2299a84fff0232d90bdd4802bc7be15ff510a168.1493237937.git.johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> In-Reply-To: When we could not convert the UTF-8 sequence into Unicode for writing to the Console, we should not try to write an insanely-long sequence of invalid wide characters (mistaking the negative return value for an unsigned length).
