patch 9.0.2121: [security]: use-after-free in ex_substitute
Problem: [security]: use-after-free in ex_substitute
Solution: always allocate memory
closes: #13552
A recursive :substitute command could cause a heap-use-after free in Vim
(CVE-2023-48706).
The whole reproducible test is a bit tricky, I can only reproduce this
reliably when no previous substitution command has been used yet
(which is the reason, the test needs to run as first one in the
test_substitute.vim file) and as a combination of the `:~` command
together with a :s command that contains the special substitution atom `~\=`
which will make use of a sub-replace special atom and calls a vim script
function.
There was a comment in the existing :s code, that already makes the
`sub` variable allocate memory so that a recursive :s call won't be able
to cause any issues here, so this was known as a potential problem
already. But for the current test-case that one does not work, because
the substitution does not start with `\=` but with `~\=` (and since
there does not yet exist a previous substitution atom, Vim will simply
increment the `sub` pointer (which then was not allocated dynamically)
and later one happily use a sub-replace special expression (which could
then free the `sub` var).
The following commit fixes this, by making the sub var always using
allocated memory, which also means we need to free the pointer whenever
we leave the function. Since sub is now always an allocated variable,
we also do no longer need the sub_copy variable anymore, since this one
was used to indicated when sub pointed to allocated memory (and had
therefore to be freed on exit) and when not.
