# SECURITY NOTE
Please consider updating brotli to version 1.0.9 (latest).
Version 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.
### Introduction
Brotli is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data
using a combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding
and 2nd order context modeling, with a compression ratio comparable to the best
currently available general-purpose compression methods. It is similar in speed
with deflate but offers more dense compression.
The specification of the Brotli Compressed Data Format is defined in [RFC 7932](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7932).
Brotli is open-sourced under the MIT License, see the LICENSE file.

### Build instructions
#### Vcpkg
You can download and install brotli using the [vcpkg](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/) dependency manager:
git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
cd vcpkg
./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
./vcpkg integrate install
vcpkg install brotli
The 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 If the version is out of date, please [create an issue or pull request](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg) on the vcpkg repository.
#### Autotools-style CMake
[configure-cmake](https://github.com/nemequ/configure-cmake) is an
autotools-style configure script for CMake-based projects (not supported on Windows).
The basic commands to build, test and install brotli are:
$ mkdir out && cd out
$ ../configure-cmake
$ make
$ make test
$ make install
By default, debug binaries are built. To generate "release" `Makefile` specify `--disable-debug` option to `configure-cmake`.
#### Bazel
See [Bazel](http://www.bazel.build/)
#### CMake
The basic commands to build and install brotli are:
$ mkdir out && cd out
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=./installed ..
$ cmake --build . --config Release --target install
You can use other [CMake](https://cmake.org/) configuration.
#### Premake5
See [Premake5](https://premake.github.io/)
#### Python
To install the latest release of the Python module, run the following:
$ pip install brotli
To install the tip-of-the-tree version, run:
$ pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/google/brotli
See the [Python readme](python/README.md) for more details on installing
from source, development, and testing.
