[PATCH 06/11] pack-redundant: avoid using uninitialized memory

From
Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
Date
Jun 15, 2022, 23:35 UTC
Message-ID
<bc29a9710e3a22e6d660098c4f201f3bfecc54ea.1655336146.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.1264.git.1655336146.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

In the `add_pack()` function, we forgot to initialize the field `next`, which could potentially lead to readin uninitialized memory later.

Reported by Coverity.
