The indentation looks wrong here.

Subject: color: protect against out-of-bounds reads and writes
want_color_fd() is designed to work only with standard output and
error file descriptors and stores information about each descriptor in
an array. However, it doesn't verify that the passed-in descriptor
lives within that set, which, with a buggy caller, could lead to
access or assignment outside the array bounds.
