Subject: [PATCH 06/16] fast-import: fix read of uninitialized argv memory
Date: Wed, 18 Jun 2014 15:46:15 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140618194615.GF22622@sigill.intra.peff.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20140618194117.GA22269@sigill.intra.peff.net>

Fast-import shares code between its command-line parser and
the "option" command. To do so, it strips the "--" from any
command-line options and passes them to the option parser.
However, it does not confirm that the option even begins
with "--" before blindly passing "arg + 2".

It does confirm that the option starts with "-", so the only
affected case was:

  git fast-import -

which would read uninitialized memory after the argument. We
can fix it by using skip_prefix and checking the result. As
a bonus, this gets rid of some magic numbers.
