Subject: [PATCH 0/9] asan bonanza
Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2025 02:55:22 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251112075522.GA978866@coredump.intra.peff.net> (raw)
This series fixes a handful of issues that ASan finds in our test suite
if we tweak a few options to let it look deeper.
The cache-tree one was reported to the security list. It's a real bug,
but I don't think is an interesting vulnerability (it's a benign read
off the end of an mmap'd file that is local and not generally under
attacker control).
The bitmap bug is also a real bug in new code that I think is not well
exercised yet (+cc Taylor for that one).
The fsck changes are for false positives in ASan, but I think it is
reasonable for it to complain about this sketchy code. ;) I hope the
result is nicer to read and reason about, but whether it is worth the
churn may be debatable.
Along the way we can turn a few knobs that will potentially help us find
more problems down the road (but ordered so that "make SANITIZE=address"
passes at each step of the series).
[1/9]: compat/mmap: mark unused argument in git_munmap()
[2/9]: pack-bitmap: handle name-hash lookups in incremental bitmaps
[3/9]: Makefile: turn on NO_MMAP when building with ASan
[4/9]: cache-tree: avoid strtol() on non-string buffer
[5/9]: fsck: assert newline presence in fsck_ident()
[6/9]: fsck: avoid strcspn() in fsck_ident()
[7/9]: fsck: remove redundant date timestamp check
[8/9]: fsck: avoid parse_timestamp() on buffer that isn't NUL-terminated
[9/9]: t: enable ASan's strict_string_checks option
