[PATCH v2 2/3] cache-tree: detect mismatching number of index entries

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

 



In t4058 we have some tests that exercise git-read-tree(1) when used
with a tree that contains duplicate entries. While the expectation is
that we fail, we ideally should fail gracefully without a segfault.

But that is not the case: we never check that the number of entries in
the cache-tree is less than or equal to the number of entries in the
index. This can lead to an out-of-bounds read as we unconditionally
access `istate->cache[idx]`, where `idx` is controlled by the number of
cache-tree entries and the current position therein. The result is a
segfault.

Fix this segfault by adding a sanity check for the number of index
entries before dereferencing them.
