Subject: [PATCH v2] pager: fix crash when pager program doesn't exist
Date: Sat, 20 Nov 2021 16:40:48 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211120194048.12125-1-ematsumiya@suse.de> (raw)
When prepare_cmd() fails for, e.g., pager process setup,
child_process_clear() frees the memory in pager_process.args, but .argv
still points to the previously location.
When setup_pager() is called a second time, from cmd_log_init_finish()
in this case, its strvec operations (i.e. using pager_process.argv) will
lead to a use-after-free.
This patch makes sure that further uses of the child_process cleared by
child_process_clear() gets a properly initialized struct.
Reproducer:
$ git config pager.show INVALID_PAGER
$ git show $VALID_COMMIT
error: cannot run INVALID_PAGER: No such file or directory
[1] 3619 segmentation fault (core dumped) git show $VALID_COMMIT

Changes to v1:
* Implement all of Jeff's suggestions:
- remove double frees to .argv
- discard the idea of falling back to DEFAULT_PAGER
- replace memset() in child_process_clear() by child_process_init()
- update/improve commit message
