pack-objects: fix tree_depth and layer invariants
Commit 108f530385 (pack-objects: move tree_depth into 'struct
packing_data', 2018-08-16) dynamically manages a tree_depth array in
packing_data that maintains one of these invariants:
1. tree_depth is NULL (i.e., the requested options don't require us to
track tree depths)
2. tree_depth is non-NULL and has as many entries as the "objects"
array
We maintain (2) by:
a. When the objects array grows, grow tree_depth to the same size
(unless it's NULL, in which case we can leave it).
b. When a caller asks to set a depth via oe_set_tree_depth(), if
tree_depth is NULL we allocate it.
But in (b), we use the number of stored objects, _not_ the allocated
size of the objects array. So we can run into a situation like this:
1. packlist_alloc() needs to store the Nth object, so it grows the
objects array to M, where M > N.
2. oe_set_tree_depth() wants to store a depth, so it allocates an
array of length N. Now we've violated our invariant.
3. packlist_alloc() needs to store the N+1th object. But it _doesn't_
grow the objects array, since N <= M still holds. We try to assign
to tree_depth[N+1], which is out of bounds.
That doesn't happen in our test scripts, because the repositories they
use are so small, but it's easy to trigger by running:
echo HEAD | git pack-objects --revs --delta-islands --stdout >/dev/null
in any reasonably-sized repo (like git.git).
We can fix it by always growing the array to match pack->nr_alloc, not
pack->nr_objects. Likewise for the "layer" array from fe0ac2fb7f
(pack-objects: move 'layer' into 'struct packing_data', 2018-08-16),
which has the same bug.

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://public-inbox.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):
