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.
