From 42536dd9b9829b4eb4e3706e141b3c8bffa3e826 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Meyering Date: Fri, 20 May 2011 19:20:12 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] do not read beyond end of malloc'd buffer With diff.suppress-blank-empty=true, "git diff --word-diff" would output data that had been read from uninitialized heap memory. The problem was that fn_out_consume did not account for the possibility of a line with length 1, i.e., the empty context line that diff.suppress-blank-empty=true converts from " \n" to "\n". Since it assumed there would always be a prefix character (the space), it decremented "len" unconditionally, thus passing len=0 to emit_line, which would then blindly call emit_line_0 with len=-1 which would pass that value on to fwrite as SIZE_MAX. Boom.
