Revision 447ac906e189535e77dcb1f4bbe3f1bc917d4c12 authored by Patrick Steinhardt on 01 December 2022, 14:45:31 UTC, committed by Junio C Hamano on 05 December 2022, 06:14:16 UTC
The `struct attr_stack` tracks the stack of all patterns together with
their attributes. When parsing a gitattributes file that has more than
2^31 such patterns though we may trigger multiple out-of-bounds reads on
64 bit platforms. This is because while the `num_matches` variable is an
unsigned integer, we always use a signed integer to iterate over them.

I have not been able to reproduce this issue due to memory constraints
on my systems. But despite the out-of-bounds reads, the worst thing that
can seemingly happen is to call free(3P) with a garbage pointer when
calling `attr_stack_free()`.

Fix this bug by using unsigned integers to iterate over the array. While
this makes the iteration somewhat awkward when iterating in reverse, it
is at least better than knowingly running into an out-of-bounds read.
While at it, convert the call to `ALLOC_GROW` to use `ALLOC_GROW_BY`
instead.

/**
 * Code often wants to set a signal handler to clean up temporary files or
 * other work-in-progress when we die unexpectedly. For multiple pieces of
 * code to do this without conflicting, each piece of code must remember
 * the old value of the handler and restore it either when:
 *
 *   1. The work-in-progress is finished, and the handler is no longer
 *      necessary. The handler should revert to the original behavior
 *      (either another handler, SIG_DFL, or SIG_IGN).
 *
 *   2. The signal is received. We should then do our cleanup, then chain
 *      to the next handler (or die if it is SIG_DFL).
 *
 * Sigchain is a tiny library for keeping a stack of handlers. Your handler
 * and installation code should look something like:
 *
 * ------------------------------------------
 *   void clean_foo_on_signal(int sig)
 *   {
 * 	  clean_foo();
 * 	  sigchain_pop(sig);
 * 	  raise(sig);
 *   }
 *
 *   void other_func()
 *   {
 * 	  sigchain_push_common(clean_foo_on_signal);
 * 	  mess_up_foo();
 * 	  clean_foo();
 *   }
 * ------------------------------------------
 *

 * Handlers are given the typedef of sigchain_fun. This is the same type
