From b1f17f168b91d709c0c0e62608de301a36f06da9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Keeping Date: Mon, 1 Apr 2013 19:03:34 +0100 Subject: Fix out-of-bounds memory accesses with virtual_root="" The CGit configuration variable virtual_root is normalized so that it does not have a trailing '/' character, but it is allowed to be empty (the empty string and NULL have different meanings here) and there is code that is insufficiently cautious when checking if it ends in a '/': if (virtual_root[strlen(virtual_root) - 1] != '/') Clearly this check is redundant, but rather than simply removing it we get a slight efficiency improvement by switching the normalization so that the virtual_root variable always ends in '/'. Do this with a new "ensure_end" helper.
