In a sparse index it is possible for the tree that is being verified
to be freed while it is being verified. This happens when
index_name_pos() looks up a entry that is missing from the index and
that would be a descendant of a sparse entry. That triggers a call to
ensure_full_index() which frees the cache tree that is being verified.
Carrying on trying to verify the tree after this results in a
use-after-free bug. Instead restart the verification if a sparse index
is converted to a full index. This bug is triggered by a call to
reset_head() in "git rebase --apply". Thanks to René Scharfe for his
help analyzing the problem.

[RFC] sparse index: fix use-after-free bug in cache_tree_verify()
In a sparse index it is possible for the tree that is being verified to
be freed while it is being verified. This is an RFC as I'm not familiar
with the cache tree code. I'm confused as to why this bug is triggered
by the sequence
unpack_trees()
prime_cache_tree()
write_locked_index()
but not
unpack_trees()
write_locked_index()
as unpack_trees() appears to update the cache tree with
if (!cache_tree_fully_valid(o->result.cache_tree))
cache_tree_update(&o->result,
WRITE_TREE_SILENT |
WRITE_TREE_REPAIR);
and I don't understand why the cache tree from prime_cache_tree()
results in different behavior. It concerns me that this fix is hiding
another bug.
Best Wishes
Phillip
