mailmap: fix use of freed memory
On an x86_64 system (F13-based), I ran these commands in an empty directory:
git init
printf '%s\n' \
'<jdoe@example.com> <jdoe@example.COM>' \
'John <jdoe@example.com>' > .mailmap
git shortlog < /dev/null
Here's the result:
(reading log message from standard input)
*** glibc detected *** git: free(): invalid pointer: 0x0000000000f53730 ***
======= Backtrace: =========
/lib64/libc.so.6[0x31ba875676]
git[0x48c2a5]
git[0x4b9858]
...
zsh: abort (core dumped) git shortlog
What happened?
Some .mailmap entry is of the <email1> <email2> form,
while a subsequent one looks like "User Name <Email2>,
and the two email addresses on the right are not identical
but are "equal" when using a case-insensitive comparator.
Then, when add_mapping is processing the latter line, new_email is NULL
and we free me->email, yet do not replace it with a new strdup'd string.
Thus, when later we attempt to use the buffer behind that ->email pointer,
we reference freed memory.
The solution is to free ->email and ->name only if we're about to replace them.
[jc: squashed in the tests from Jonathan]
