Re: [PATCH 14/20] commit-graph: bounds-check base graphs chunk

> When we are loading a commit-graph chain, we check that each slice of the
> chain points to the appropriate set of base graphs via its BASE chunk.
> But since we don't record the size of the chunk, we may access
> out-of-bounds memory if the file is corrupted.
>
> Since we know the number of entries we expect to find (based on the
> position within the commit-graph-chain file), we can just check the size
> up front.

> "g->hash_len" and "n" have types "unsigned char" and "int", we'd have to

> more obvious that we don't have an overflow problem.
