2015-10-14Documentation/gc: warn against --prune=<now>Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+5
"git gc" is safe to run anytime only because it has the built-in grace period to protect objects that are created by other processes that are waiting for ref updates to anchor them to the history. In order to run with no grace period, the user must make sure that the repository is quiescent.

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).

2014-12-29is_hfs_dotgit: loosen over-eager match of \u{..47}Libravatar Jeff King2-12/+35
Our is_hfs_dotgit function relies on the hackily-implemented next_hfs_char to give us the next character that an HFS+ filename comparison would look at. It's hacky because it doesn't implement the full case-folding table of HFS+; it gives us just enough to see if the path matches ".git". At the end of next_hfs_char, we use tolower() to convert our 32-bit code point to lowercase. Our tolower() implementation only takes an 8-bit char, though; it throws away the upper 24 bits. This means we can't have any false negatives for is_hfs_dotgit. We only care about matching 7-bit ASCII characters in ".git", and we will correctly process 'G' or 'g'. However, we _can_ have false positives. Because we throw away the upper bits, code point \u{0147} (for example) will look like 'G' and get downcased to 'g'. It's not known whether a sequence of code points whose truncation ends up as ".git" is meaningful in any language, but it does not hurt to be more accurate here. We can just pass out the full 32-bit code point, and compare it manually to the upper and lowercase characters we care about.

2014-12-17fsck: complain about NTFS ".git" aliases in treesLibravatar Johannes Schindelin2-3/+9
Now that the index can block pathnames that can be mistaken to mean ".git" on NTFS and FAT32, it would be helpful for fsck to notice such problematic paths. This lets servers which use receive.fsckObjects block them before the damage spreads. Note that the fsck check is always on, even for systems without core.protectNTFS set. This is technically more restrictive than we need to be, as a set of users on ext4 could happily use these odd filenames without caring about NTFS. However, on balance, it's helpful for all servers to block these (because the paths can be used for mischief, and servers which bother to fsck would want to stop the spread whether they are on NTFS themselves or not), and hardly anybody will be affected (because the blocked names are variants of .git or git~1, meaning mischief is almost certainly what the tree author had in mind). Ideally these would be controlled by a separate "fsck.protectNTFS" flag. However, it would be much nicer to be able to enable/disable _any_ fsck flag individually, and any scheme we choose should match such a system. Given the likelihood of anybody using such a path in practice, it is not unreasonable to wait until such a system materializes.

2014-12-17read-cache: optionally disallow NTFS .git variantsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin7-0/+34
The point of disallowing ".git" in the index is that we would never want to accidentally overwrite files in the repository directory. But this means we need to respect the filesystem's idea of when two paths are equal. The prior commit added a helper to make such a comparison for NTFS and FAT32; let's use it in verify_path(). We make this check optional for two reasons: 1. It restricts the set of allowable filenames, which is unnecessary for people who are not on NTFS nor FAT32. In practice this probably doesn't matter, though, as the restricted names are rather obscure and almost certainly would never come up in practice. 2. It has a minor performance penalty for every path we insert into the index. This patch ties the check to the core.protectNTFS config option. Though this is expected to be most useful on Windows, we allow it to be set everywhere, as NTFS may be mounted on other platforms. The variable does default to on for Windows, though.

2014-12-17path: add is_ntfs_dotgit() helperLibravatar Johannes Schindelin2-0/+34
We do not allow paths with a ".git" component to be added to the index, as that would mean repository contents could overwrite our repository files. However, asking "is this path the same as .git" is not as simple as strcmp() on some filesystems. On NTFS (and FAT32), there exist so-called "short names" for backwards-compatibility: 8.3 compliant names that refer to the same files as their long names. As ".git" is not an 8.3 compliant name, a short name is generated automatically, typically "git~1". Depending on the Windows version, any combination of trailing spaces and periods are ignored, too, so that both "git~1." and ".git." still refer to the Git directory. The reason is that 8.3 stores file names shorter than 8 characters with trailing spaces. So literally, it does not matter for the short name whether it is padded with spaces or whether it is shorter than 8 characters, it is considered to be the exact same. The period is the separator between file name and file extension, and again, an empty extension consists just of spaces in 8.3 format. So technically, we would need only take care of the equivalent of this regex: (\.git {0,4}|git~1 {0,3})\. {0,3} However, there are indications that at least some Windows versions might be more lenient and accept arbitrary combinations of trailing spaces and periods and strip them out. So we're playing it real safe here. Besides, there can be little doubt about the intention behind using file names matching even the more lenient pattern specified above, therefore we should be fine with disallowing such patterns. Extra care is taken to catch names such as '.\\.git\\booh' because the backslash is marked as a directory separator only on Windows, and we want to use this new helper function also in fsck on other platforms. A big thank you goes to Ed Thomson and an unnamed Microsoft engineer for the detailed analysis performed to come up with the corresponding fixes for libgit2. This commit adds a function to detect whether a given file name can refer to the Git directory by mistake.

We do not allow paths with a ".git" component to be added to the index, as that would mean repository contents could overwrite our repository files. However, asking "is this path the same as .git" is not as simple as strcmp() on some filesystems. HFS+'s case-folding does more than just fold uppercase into lowercase (which we already handle with strcasecmp). It may also skip past certain "ignored" Unicode code points, so that (for example) ".gi\u200ct" is mapped ot ".git". The full list of folds can be found in the tables at: https://www.opensource.apple.com/source/xnu/xnu-1504.15.3/bsd/hfs/hfscommon/Unicode/UCStringCompareData.h Implementing a full "is this path the same as that path" comparison would require us importing the whole set of tables. However, what we want to do is much simpler: we only care about checking ".git". We know that 'G' is the only thing that folds to 'g', and so on, so we really only need to deal with the set of ignored code points, which is much smaller.
