I had no idea this issue had been identified. While I find this tool very useful, the project is seeming rather questionable to me now.

Binary Large OBject

Basically any binary file, often objected to in open source repos because of the lack of source and ‘openness’. See also the recent xz backdoor.

Binary data. In the case of lz it was a carefully “corrupted” archive.
