Subject: [PATCH] ash: Fix use-after-free on idx variable
Consider the following code from ash.c:
STPUTC(*idx, expdest);
if (quotes && (unsigned char)*idx == CTLESC) {
The idx variable points to a value in the stack string (as managed
by STPUTC). STPUTC may resize this stack string via realloc(3). If
this happens, the idx pointer needs to be updated. Otherwise,
dereferencing idx may result in a use-after free.
The valgrind output for this edge case looks as follows:

This patch fixes this issue by updating the pointers again via
the restart label if STPUTC re-sized the stack. This issue
has been reported to us at Alpine Linux downstream.
Also: Move the second realloc-check inside the if statement
that follows so it isn't done twice if the condition evaluates
to false.
