Commit 3c50032ff52 (attr: ignore overly large gitattributes files, 2022-12-01) added a defense-in-depth check to ensure that .gitattributes blobs read from the index do not exceed ATTR_MAX_FILE_SIZE (100 MB).
But there were two cases added shortly after 3c50032ff52 was written which do not apply similar protections:
- 47cfc9bd7d0 (attr: add flag `--source` to work with tree-ish,
2023-01-14) - 4723ae1007f (attr.c: read attributes in a sparse directory,
2023-08-11) added a similarEnsure that we refuse to process a .gitattributes blob exceeding ATTR_MAX_FILE_SIZE when reading from either an arbitrary tree object or a sparse directory. This is done by pushing the ATTR_MAX_FILE_SIZE check down into the low-level `read_attr_from_buf()`.
In doing so, plug a leak in `read_attr_from_index()` where we would accidentally leak the large buffer upon detecting it is too large to process.
(Since `read_attr_from_buf()` handles a NULL buffer input, we can remove a NULL check before calling it in `read_attr_from_index()` as well).
