The current code can access memory outside of the tree buffer in the case of malformed tree entries. This patch prevent this by: * The rest of the buffer must be at least 24 bytes (at least 1 byte mode, 1 blank, at least one byte path name, 1 zero, 20 bytes sha1). * Check that the last zero (21 bytes before the end) is present. This ensurse, that strlen and get_mode stay within the buffer. * The mode may not be empty. We have only to reject a blank at the begin, as the rest is handled by if (c < '0' || c > '7'). * The blank is ensured by get_mode. * The start of the path may not be after the last zero (21 bytes before the end).
