[PATCH] check_aliased_update: strcpy() instead of strcat() to copy

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



da3efdb (receive-pack: detect aliased updates which can occur with
symrefs, 2010-04-19) introduced two strcat() into uninitialized
strings.  The intent was clearly make a copy of the static buffer used
by find_unique_abbrev(), so use strcpy() instead.

Indeed, there's another bug in this one.  (And valgrind catches it
too...  if only I had the patience to let it churn through t5516!)

Unlike the other bug, this one is already in master.
