When parsing a signature's timezone offset, we first check whether there is a timezone at all by verifying that there are still bytes left to read following the time itself. The check thus looks like `time_end + 1 < buffer_end`, which is actually correct in this case. After setting the timezone's start pointer to that location, we compute the remaining bytes by using the formula `buffer_end - tz_start + 1`, re-using the previous `time_end + 1`. But this is in fact missing the braces around `(tz_start + 1)`, thus leading to an overestimation of the remaining bytes by a length of two. In case of a non-NUL terminated buffer, this will result in an overflow. The function `git_signature__parse` is only used in two locations. First is `git_signature_from_buffer`, which only accepts a string without a length. The string thus necessarily has to be NUL terminated and cannot trigger the issue. The other function is `git_commit__parse_raw`, which can in fact trigger the error as it may receive non-NUL terminated commit data. But as objects read from the ODB are always NUL-terminated by us as a cautionary measure, it cannot trigger the issue either. In other words, this error does not have any impact on security.
