-Subject: [PATCH] Issue 761:  Heap overflow reading corrupted 7Zip files
-
-The sample file that demonstrated this had multiple 'EmptyStream'
-attributes.  The first one ended up being used to calculate
-certain statistics, then was overwritten by the second which
-was incompatible with those statistics.
-
-The fix here is to reject any header with multiple EmptyStream
-attributes.  While here, also reject headers with multiple
-EmptyFile, AntiFile, Name, or Attributes markers.

-Subject: [PATCH] Issue #744 (part of Issue #743): Enforce sandbox with very
- long pathnames
-
-Because check_symlinks is handled separately from the deep-directory
-support, very long pathnames cause problems.  Previously, the code
-ignored most failures to lstat() a path component.  In particular,
-this led to check_symlinks always passing for very long paths, which
-in turn provides a way to evade the symlink checks in the sandboxing
-code.
-
-We now fail on unrecognized lstat() failures, which plugs this
-hole at the cost of disabling deep directory support when the
-user requests sandboxing.
-
-TODO:  This probably cannot be completely fixed without
-entirely reimplementing the deep directory support to
-integrate the symlink checks.  I want to reimplement the
-deep directory hanlding someday anyway; openat() and
-related system calls now provide a much cleaner way to
-handle deep directories than the chdir approach used by this
-code.

-Subject: [PATCH] Issue #767:  Buffer overflow printing a filename
-
-The safe_fprintf function attempts to ensure clean output for an
-arbitrary sequence of bytes by doing a trial conversion of the
-multibyte characters to wide characters -- if the resulting wide
-character is printable then we pass through the corresponding bytes
-unaltered, otherwise, we convert them to C-style ASCII escapes.
-
-The stack trace in Issue #767 suggest that the 20-byte buffer
-was getting overflowed trying to format a non-printable multibyte
-character.  This should only happen if there is a valid multibyte
-character of more than 5 bytes that was unprintable.  (Each byte
-would get expanded to a four-charcter octal-style escape of the form
-"\123" resulting in >20 characters for the >5 byte multibyte character.)
-
-I've not been able to reproduce this, but have expanded the conversion
-buffer to 128 bytes on the belief that no multibyte character set
-has a single character of more than 32 bytes.
