From: Carlos Martín Nieto Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2012 04:50:04 GMT Subject: [PATCH] config: don't segfault when given --path with a missing value Message-ID: <1352868604-20459-1-git-send-email-cmn@elego.de> When given a variable without a value, such as '[section] var' and asking git-config to treat it as a path, git_config_pathname returns an error and doesn't modify its output parameter. show_config assumes that the call is always successful and sets a variable to indicate that vptr should be freed. In case of an error however, trying to do this will cause the program to be killed, as it's pointing to memory in the stack. Set the must_free_vptr flag depending on the return value of git_config_pathname so it's accurate. --- builtin/config.c | 3 +-- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/builtin/config.c b/builtin/config.c index 442ccc2..60220d5 100644 --- a/builtin/config.c +++ b/builtin/config.c @@ -129,8 +129,7 @@ static int show_config(const char *key_, const char *value_, void *cb) else sprintf(value, "%d", v); } else if (types == TYPE_PATH) { - git_config_pathname(&vptr, key_, value_); - must_free_vptr = 1; + must_free_vptr = !git_config_pathname(&vptr, key_, value_); } else if (value_) { vptr = value_; } else { -- 1.8.0.316.g291341c
