Incorrect returning of an error code in the index.c:read_entry() function leads to a double free in libgit2 before v0.26.2, which allows an attacker to cause a denial of service via a crafted repository index file.
The product calls free() twice on the same memory address, potentially leading to modification of unexpected memory locations.
