Subject: [PATCH] Fix memory corruption when .gitignore does not end by \n
Date: Wed, 20 Jan 2010 21:09:16 +0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1263996556-9712-1-git-send-email-pclouds@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <fcaeb9bf1001200458v436a8adeq5cfc6753900e6c0c@mail.gmail.com>

Commit b5041c5 (Avoid writing to buffer in add_excludes_from_file_1())
tried not to append '\n' at the end because the next commit
may return a buffer that does not have extra space for that.

Unfortunately it left this assignment in the loop:

  buf[i - (i && buf[i-1] == '\r')] = 0;

that can corrupt memory if "buf" is not '\n' terminated. But even if
it does not corrupt memory, the last line would not be
NULL-terminated, leading to errors later inside add_exclude().

This patch fixes it by reverting the faulty commit and make
sure "buf" is always \n terminated.

While at it, free unused memory properly.

 This patch causes a crash for me. Not sure if it does for anybody else.
