Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Integer Overflow or Wraparound in the diff3 process when handling crafted diff output due to multiple signed integer overflows in line-mapping calculations. An attacker can cause out-of-bounds writes and potentially achieve remote code execution or crash the application by supplying malicious diff output, such as by specifying a custom diff program via the --diff-program option.
