Subject: [PATCH 08/13] submodule: fix cwd leak in get_superproject_working_tree()
Date: Wed, 01 Jul 2026 07:04:26 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <6a43f952417259c23ca456c547b0e4587a0ce6fa.1782889472.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2163.git.1782889472.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

get_superproject_working_tree() allocates cwd via xgetcwd() at
the top of the function, but two early-return paths (when not
inside a work tree, and when strbuf_realpath for "../" fails)
return 0 without freeing it.

Redirect these early returns through a cleanup label that frees
cwd before returning.

Pointed out by Coverity.
