[PATCH] Avoid segfault when passed malformed refspec

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

 



A refspec typo can cause a Null-pointer dereference and segmentation
fault.  For instance, the space before the colon in the following
example results in a segfault:

   $ git fetch ../repo  refs/heads/* :refs/heads/*
   Segmentation fault (core dumped)

To avoid the segfault, set an empty refspec destination string
if one isn't found by parsing.
