tree: fix integer overflow when reading unreasonably large filemodes · 7fafec0e
The `parse_mode` option uses an open-coded octal number parser. The parser is quite naive in that it simply parses until hitting a character that is not in the accepted range of '0' - '7', completely ignoring the fact that we can at most accept a 16 bit unsigned integer as filemode. If the filemode is bigger than UINT16_MAX, it will thus overflow and provide an invalid filemode for the object entry. Fix the issue by using `git__strntol32` instead and doing a bounds check. As this function already handles overflows, it neatly solves the problem. Note that previously, `parse_mode` was also skipping the character immediately after the filemode. In proper trees, this should be a simple space, but in fact the parser accepted any character and simply skipped over it. As a consequence of using `git__strntol32`, we now need to an explicit check for a trailing whitespace after having parsed the filemode. Because of the newly introduced error message, the test object::tree::parse::mode_doesnt_cause_oob_read needs adjustment to its error message check, which in fact is a good thing as it demonstrates that we now fail looking for the whitespace immediately following the filemode. Add a test that shows that we will fail to parse such invalid filemodes now.
