2015-09-25transport: refactor protocol whitelist codeLibravatar Jeff King2-10/+43
The current callers only want to die when their transport is prohibited. But future callers want to query the mechanism without dying. Let's break out a few query functions, and also save the results in a static list so we don't have to re-parse for each query.

2015-09-23submodule: allow only certain protocols for submodule fetchesLibravatar Jeff King2-0/+52
Some protocols (like git-remote-ext) can execute arbitrary code found in the URL. The URLs that submodules use may come from arbitrary sources (e.g., .gitmodules files in a remote repository). Let's restrict submodules to fetching from a known-good subset of protocols. Note that we apply this restriction to all submodule commands, whether the URL comes from .gitmodules or not. This is more restrictive than we need to be; for example, in the tests we run: git submodule add ext::... which should be trusted, as the URL comes directly from the command line provided by the user. But doing it this way is simpler, and makes it much less likely that we would miss a case. And since such protocols should be an exception (especially because nobody who clones from them will be able to update the submodules!), it's not likely to inconvenience anyone in practice.

2015-09-23transport: add a protocol-whitelist environment variableLibravatar Jeff King11-1/+254
If we are cloning an untrusted remote repository into a sandbox, we may also want to fetch remote submodules in order to get the complete view as intended by the other side. However, that opens us up to attacks where a malicious user gets us to clone something they would not otherwise have access to (this is not necessarily a problem by itself, but we may then act on the cloned contents in a way that exposes them to the attacker). Ideally such a setup would sandbox git entirely away from high-value items, but this is not always practical or easy to set up (e.g., OS network controls may block multiple protocols, and we would want to enable some but not others). We can help this case by providing a way to restrict particular protocols. We use a whitelist in the environment. This is more annoying to set up than a blacklist, but defaults to safety if the set of protocols git supports grows). If no whitelist is specified, we continue to default to allowing all protocols (this is an "unsafe" default, but since the minority of users will want this sandboxing effect, it is the only sensible one). A note on the tests: ideally these would all be in a single test file, but the git-daemon and httpd test infrastructure is an all-or-nothing proposition rather than a test-by-test prerequisite. By putting them all together, we would be unable to test the file-local code on machines without apache. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2015-09-04show-branch: use a strbuf for reflog descriptionsLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+4
When we show "branch@{0}", we format into a fixed-size buffer using sprintf. This can overflow if you have long branch names. We can fix it by using a temporary strbuf. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2015-09-04read_info_alternates: handle paths larger than PATH_MAXLibravatar Jeff King1-6/+3
This function assumes that the relative_base path passed into it is no larger than PATH_MAX, and writes into a fixed-size buffer. However, this path may not have actually come from the filesystem; for example, add_submodule_odb generates a path using a strbuf and passes it in. This is hard to trigger in practice, though, because the long submodule directory would have to exist on disk before we would try to open its info/alternates file. We can easily avoid the bug, though, by simply creating the filename on the heap. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2015-09-04notes: use a strbuf in add_non_noteLibravatar Jeff King1-9/+10
When we are loading a notes tree into our internal hash table, we also collect any files that are clearly non-notes. We format the name of the file into a PATH_MAX buffer, but unlike true notes (which cannot be larger than a fanned-out sha1 hash), these tree entries can be arbitrarily long, overflowing our buffer. We can fix this by switching to a strbuf. It doesn't even cost us an extra allocation, as we can simply hand ownership of the buffer over to the non-note struct. This is of moderate security interest, as you might fetch notes trees from an untrusted remote. However, we do not do so by default, so you would have to manually fetch into the notes namespace.

2015-09-04verify_absent: allow filenames longer than PATH_MAXLibravatar Jeff King1-7/+10
When unpack-trees wants to know whether a path will overwrite anything in the working tree, we use lstat() to see if there is anything there. But if we are going to write "foo/bar", we can't just lstat("foo/bar"); we need to look for leading prefixes (e.g., "foo"). So we use the lstat cache to find the length of the leading prefix, and copy the filename up to that length into a temporary buffer (since the original name is const, we cannot just stick a NUL in it). The copy we make goes into a PATH_MAX-sized buffer, which will overflow if the prefix is longer than PATH_MAX. How this happens is a little tricky, since in theory PATH_MAX is the biggest path we will have read from the filesystem. But this can happen if: - the compiled-in PATH_MAX does not accurately reflect what the filesystem is capable of - the leading prefix is not _quite_ what is on disk; it contains the next element from the name we are checking. So if we want to write "aaa/bbb/ccc/ddd" and "aaa/bbb" exists, the prefix of interest is "aaa/bbb/ccc". If "aaa/bbb" approaches PATH_MAX, then "ccc" can overflow it. So this can be triggered, but it's hard to do. In particular, you cannot just "git clone" a bogus repo. The verify_absent checks happen before unpack-trees writes anything to the filesystem, so there are never any leading prefixes during the initial checkout, and the bug doesn't trigger. And by definition, these files are larger than PATH_MAX, so writing them will fail, and clone will complain (though it may write a partial path, which will cause a subsequent "git checkout" to hit the bug). We can fix it by creating the temporary path on the heap. The extra malloc overhead is not important, as we are already making at least one stat() call (and probably more for the prefix discovery).

2015-04-15parse_date_basic(): let the system handle DST conversionLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+6
The function parses the input to compute the broken-down time in "struct tm", and the GMT timezone offset. If the timezone offset does not exist in the input, the broken-down time is turned into the number of seconds since epoch both in the current timezone and in GMT and the offset is computed as their difference. However, we forgot to make sure tm.tm_isdst is set to -1 (i.e. let the system figure out if DST is in effect in the current timezone when turning the broken-down time to the number of seconds since epoch); it is done so at the beginning of the function, but a call to match_digit() in the function can lead to a call to gmtime_r() to clobber the field.

2015-04-04diff-highlight: do not split multibyte charactersLibravatar Kyle J. McKay1-2/+7
When the input is UTF-8 and Perl is operating on bytes instead of characters, a diff that changes one multibyte character to another that shares an initial byte sequence will result in a broken diff display as the common byte sequence prefix will be separated from the rest of the bytes in the multibyte character. For example, if a single line contains only the unicode character U+C9C4 (encoded as UTF-8 0xEC, 0xA7, 0x84) and that line is then changed to the unicode character U+C9C0 (encoded as UTF-8 0xEC, 0xA7, 0x80), when operating on bytes diff-highlight will show only the single byte change from 0x84 to 0x80 thus creating invalid UTF-8 and a broken diff display. Fix this by putting Perl into character mode when splitting the line and then back into byte mode after the split is finished. The utf8::xxx functions require Perl 5.8 so we require that as well. Also, since we are mucking with code in the split_line function, we change a '*' quantifier to a '+' quantifier when matching the $COLOR expression which has the side effect of speeding everything up while eliminating useless '' elements in the returned array.

Merges with an absurd number of parents are still a bad idea because they do not render well in tools like gitk, but if they are present in the repository being imported into git then there's no need to avoid reproducing them faithfully. In olden times, before v1.6.0-rc0~194 (2008-06-27), git commit-tree and higher-level tools built on top of it were limited to writing 16 parents for a commit.

Ignoring a merge can be read as ignoring the changes a merge commit introduces altogether, as if the entire side branch the merge commit merged was removed from the history. But that is not what happens if "-p" is not specified. What happens is that the individual commits a merge commit introduces are replayed in order, and only any possible merge conflict resolutions or manual amendments to the merge commit are ignored. Get this straight in the docs. Also, do not say that merge commits are *tried* to be recreated. As that is true almost everywhere it is better left unsaid.
