3*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker# SECURITY NOTE
4*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
5*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerPlease consider updating brotli to version 1.0.9 (latest).
6*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
7*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerVersion 1.0.9 contains a fix to "integer overflow" problem. This happens when "one-shot" decoding API is used (or input chunk for streaming API is not limited), input size (chunk size) is larger than 2GiB, and input contains uncompressed blocks. After the overflow happens, `memcpy` is invoked with a gigantic `num` value, that will likely cause the crash.

9*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker### Introduction
10*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
11*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerBrotli is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data
12*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard Workerusing a combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding
13*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard Workerand 2nd order context modeling, with a compression ratio comparable to the best
14*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard Workercurrently available general-purpose compression methods. It is similar in speed
15*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard Workerwith deflate but offers more dense compression.
16*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
17*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerThe specification of the Brotli Compressed Data Format is defined in [RFC 7932](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7932).

28*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker### Build instructions
29*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
30*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker#### Vcpkg
31*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
32*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerYou can download and install brotli using the [vcpkg](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/) dependency manager:
33*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
34*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker    git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
35*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker    cd vcpkg
36*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker    ./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
37*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker    ./vcpkg integrate install
38*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker    vcpkg install brotli
39*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
40*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerThe brotli port in vcpkg is kept up to date by Microsoft team members and community contributors. If the version is out of date, please [create an issue or pull request](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg) on the vcpkg repository.
41*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
42*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker#### Autotools-style CMake
43*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
44*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker[configure-cmake](https://github.com/nemequ/configure-cmake) is an
45*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard Workerautotools-style configure script for CMake-based projects (not supported on Windows).
46*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
47*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerThe basic commands to build, test and install brotli are:
48*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
49*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker    $ mkdir out && cd out
50*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker    $ ../configure-cmake
51*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker    $ make
52*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker    $ make test
53*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker    $ make install
54*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard Worker
55*f4ee7fbaSAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerBy default, debug binaries are built. To generate "release" `Makefile` specify `--disable-debug` option to `configure-cmake`.
