From 554a2636f7c5125a83bb07194632445467d46c83 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Meyering Date: Mon, 11 Dec 2006 19:06:34 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Don't use memcpy when source and dest. buffers may overlap git-index-pack can call memcpy with overlapping source and destination buffers. The patch below makes it use memmove instead. If you want to demonstrate a failure, add the following two lines + if (input_offset < input_len) + abort (); before the existing memcpy call (shown in the patch below), and then run this: (cd t; sh ./t5500-fetch-pack.sh) Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano --- index-pack.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/index-pack.c b/index-pack.c index 8331d99a6..6d6c92bf1 100644 --- a/index-pack.c +++ b/index-pack.c @@ -96,7 +96,7 @@ static void flush(void) if (output_fd >= 0) write_or_die(output_fd, input_buffer, input_offset); SHA1_Update(&input_ctx, input_buffer, input_offset); - memcpy(input_buffer, input_buffer + input_offset, input_len); + memmove(input_buffer, input_buffer + input_offset, input_len); input_offset = 0; } } -- 2.26.2
