Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream git-lfs package and not the git-lfs package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

Within HostnameError.Error(), when constructing an error string, there is no limit to the number of hosts that will be printed out. Furthermore, the error string is constructed by repeated string concatenation, leading to quadratic runtime. Therefore, a certificate provided by a malicious actor can result in excessive resource consumption.
