Hello,
Our team has recently been conducting research on a null-pointer-dereference (NPD) vulnerability detection tool and used it to scan libgit2 (the version on the master branch). After a manual review, we have identified some potentially vulnerable code snippets that may lead to null-pointer-dereference bugs.
The NULL Dereference vulnerability happens in int checkout_count_callback(), tests/libgit2/checkout/checkout_helpers.c
How the NULL Pointer Dereference happens:
