2016-04-01builtin/apply: free patch when parse_chunk() failsLibravatar Christian Couder1-1/+3
When parse_chunk() fails it can return -1, for example when find_header() doesn't find a patch header. In this case it's better in apply_patch() to free the "struct patch" that we just allocated instead of leaking it.

2016-04-01builtin/apply: handle parse_binary() failureLibravatar Christian Couder1-0/+7
In parse_binary() there is: forward = parse_binary_hunk(&buffer, &size, &status, &used); if (!forward && !status) /* there has to be one hunk (forward hunk) */ return error(_("unrecognized binary patch at line %d"), linenr-1); so parse_binary() can return -1, because that's what error() returns. Also parse_binary_hunk() sets "status" to -1 in case of error and parse_binary() does "if (status) return status;". In this case parse_chunk() should not add -1 to the patchsize it computes. It is better for future libification efforts to make it just return -1. Signed-off-by: Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2016-03-22apply: remove unused call to free() in gitdiff_{old,new}name()Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-6/+0
These two functions keep a copy of filename it was given, let gitdiff_verify_name() to rewrite it to a new filename and then free the original if they receive a newly minted filename. However (1) when the original name is NULL, gitdiff_verify_name() returns either NULL or a newly minted value. Either case, we do not have to worry about calling free() on the original NULL. (2) when the original name is not NULL, gitdiff_verify_name() either returns that as-is, or calls die() when it finds inconsistency in the patch. When the function returns, we know that "if ()" statement always is false. Noticed by Christian Couder. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

If our size computation overflows size_t, we may allocate a much smaller buffer than we expected and overflow it. It's probably impossible to trigger an overflow in most of these sites in practice, but it is easy enough convert their additions and multiplications into overflow-checking variants.

As a short option, we cannot handle negation. Thus a callback handling "unset" is overkill, and we can just use OPT_SET_INT instead to handle setting the option. Anybody who adds "--nul" synonym to this later would need to be careful not to break "--no-nul", which should mean that lines are terminated with LF at the end.

2015-10-05apply: convert root string to strbufLibravatar Jeff King1-16/+10
We use manual computation and strcpy to allocate the "root" variable. This would be much simpler using xstrfmt. But since we store the length, too, we can just use a strbuf, which handles that for us. Note that we stop distinguishing between "no root" and "empty root" in some cases, but that's OK; the results are the same (e.g., inserting an empty string is a noop).

2015-09-25replace trivial malloc + sprintf / strcpy calls with xstrfmtLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+1
It's a common pattern to do: foo = xmalloc(strlen(one) + strlen(two) + 1 + 1); sprintf(foo, "%s %s", one, two); (or possibly some variant with strcpy()s or a more complicated length computation). We can switch these to use xstrfmt, which is shorter, involves less error-prone manual computation, and removes many sprintf and strcpy calls which make it harder to audit the code for real buffer overflows.

We just read two context lines and discard the remainder as cruft, which we must do in order to ignore the e-mail footer. Notice that the patch does not change anything and signal an error. Note that this fix will not help if the hand-edited hunk header were "@@ -660,3, +660,2" to include the removal. We would just remove the old text without adding the new one, and treat "+ some new text" and everything after that line as trailing cruft.

2015-02-10apply: do not touch a file beyond a symbolic linkLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+112
Because Git tracks symbolic links as symbolic links, a path that has a symbolic link in its leading part (e.g. path/to/dir/file, where path/to/dir is a symbolic link to somewhere else, be it inside or outside the working tree) can never appear in a patch that validly applies, unless the same patch first removes the symbolic link to allow a directory to be created there. Detect and reject such a patch. Things to note: - Unfortunately, we cannot reuse the has_symlink_leading_path() from dir.c, as that is only about the working tree, but "git apply" can be told to apply the patch only to the index or to both the index and to the working tree. - We cannot directly use has_symlink_leading_path() even when we are applying only to the working tree, as an early patch of a valid input may remove a symbolic link path/to/dir and then a later patch of the input may create a path path/to/dir/file, but "git apply" first checks the input without touching either the index or the working tree. The leading symbolic link check must be done on the interim result we compute in-core (i.e. after the first patch, there is no path/to/dir symbolic link and it is perfectly valid to create path/to/dir/file). Similarly, when an input creates a symbolic link path/to/dir and then creates a file path/to/dir/file, we need to flag it as an error without actually creating path/to/dir symbolic link in the filesystem. Instead, for any patch in the input that leaves a path (i.e. a non deletion) in the result, we check all leading paths against the resulting tree that the patch would create by inspecting all the patches in the input and then the target of patch application (either the index or the working tree). This way, we catch a mischief or a mistake to add a symbolic link path/to/dir and a file path/to/dir/file at the same time, while allowing a valid patch that removes a symbolic link path/to/dir and then adds a file path/to/dir/file.

2015-02-10apply: do not read from beyond a symbolic linkLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+2
We should reject a patch, whether it renames/copies dir/file to elsewhere with or without modificiation, or updates dir/file in place, if "dir/" part is actually a symbolic link to elsewhere, by making sure that the code to read the preimage does not read from a path that is beyond a symbolic link.

2015-02-10apply: do not read from the filesystem under --indexLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
We currently read the preimage to apply a patch from the index only when the --cached option is given. Do so also when the command is running under the --index option. With --index, the index entry and the working tree file for a path that is involved in a patch must be identical, so this should not affect the result, but by reading from the index, we will get the protection to avoid reading an unintended path beyond a symbolic link automatically.

2015-02-10apply: reject input that touches outside the working areaLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+26
By default, a patch that affects outside the working area (either a Git controlled working tree, or the current working directory when "git apply" is used as a replacement of GNU patch) is rejected as a mistake (or a mischief). Git itself does not create such a patch, unless the user bends over backwards and specifies a non-standard prefix to "git diff" and friends. When `git apply` is used as a "better GNU patch", the user can pass the `--unsafe-paths` option to override this safety check. This option has no effect when `--index` or `--cached` is in use. The new test was stolen from Jeff King with slight enhancements. Note that a few new tests for touching outside the working area by following a symbolic link are still expected to fail at this step, but will be fixed in later steps.

2015-01-22apply: detect and mark whitespace errors in context lines when fixingLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+3
When the incoming patch has whitespace errors in a common context line (i.e. a line that is expected to be found and is not modified by the patch), "apply --whitespace=fix" corrects the whitespace errors the line has, in addition to the whitespace error on a line that is updated by the patch. However, we did not count and report that we fixed whitespace errors on such lines. [jc: This is iffy. What if the whitespace error has been fixed in the target since the patch was written? A common context line we see in the patch has errors, and it matches a line in the target that has the errors already corrected, resulting in no change, which we may not want to count after all. On the other hand, we are reporting whitespace errors _in_ the incoming patch, so...] Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2015-01-22apply: count the size of postimage correctlyLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+21
Under --whitespace=fix option, match_fragment() function examines the preimage (the common context and the removed lines in the patch) and the file being patched and checks if they match after correcting all whitespace errors. When they are found to match, the common context lines in the preimage is replaced with the fixed copy, because these lines will then be copied to the corresponding place in the postimage by a later call to update_pre_post_images(). Lines that are added in the postimage, under --whitespace=fix, have their whitespace errors already fixed when apply_one_fragment() prepares the preimage and the postimage, so in the end, application of the patch can be done by replacing the block of text in the file being patched that matched the preimage with what is in the postimage that was updated by update_pre_post_images(). In the earlier days, fixing whitespace errors always resulted in reduction of size, either collapsing runs of spaces in the indent to a tab or removing the trailing whitespaces. These days, however, some whitespace error fix results in extending the size. 250b3c6c (apply --whitespace=fix: avoid running over the postimage buffer, 2013-03-22) tried to compute the final postimage size but its math was flawed. It counted the size of the block of text in the original being patched after fixing the whitespace errors on its lines that correspond to the preimage. That number does not have much to do with how big the final postimage would be. Instead count (1) the added lines in the postimage, whose size is the same as in the final patch result because their whitespace errors have already been corrected, and (2) the fixed size of the lines that are common.

2015-01-22apply: make update_pre_post_images() sanity check the given postlenLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+6
"git apply --whitespace=fix" used to be able to assume that fixing errors will always reduce the size by e.g. stripping whitespaces at the end of lines or collapsing runs of spaces into tabs at the beginning of lines. An update to accomodate fixes that lengthens the result by e.g. expanding leading tabs into spaces were made long time ago but the logic miscounted the necessary space after such whitespace fixes, leading to either under-allocation or over-usage of already allocated space. Illustrate this with a runtime sanity-check to protect us from future breakage. The test was stolen from Kyle McKay who helped to identify the problem. Helped-by: "Kyle J.

Whitespace breakages are checked while the patch is being parsed. Disable them at the beginning of parse_chunk(), where each individual patch is parsed, immediately after we learn the name of the file the patch applies to and before we start parsing the diff contained in the patch. One may naively think that we should be able to not just skip the whitespace checks but simply fast-forward to the next patch without doing anything once use_patch() tells us that this patch is not going to be used. But in reality we cannot really skip much of the parsing in order to do such a "fast-forward", primarily because parsing "@@ -k,l +m,n @@" lines and counting the input lines is how we determine the boundaries of individual patches.

2014-08-07apply: use the right attribute for paths in non-Git patchesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-22/+19
We parse each patchfile and find the name of the path the patch applies to, and then use that name to consult the attribute system to find the whitespace rules to be used, and also the target file (either in the working tree or in the index) to replay the changes against. Unlike a Git-generated patch, a non-Git patch is taken to have the pathnames relative to the current working directory. The names found in such a patch are modified by prepending the prefix by the prefix_patches() helper function introduced in 56185f49 (git-apply: require -p<n> when working in a subdirectory., 2007-02-19). However, this prefixing is done after the patch is fully parsed and affects only what target files are patched. Because the attributes are checked against the names found in the patch during the parsing, not against the final pathname, the whitespace check that is done during parsing ends up using attributes for a wrong path for non-Git patches. Fix this by doing the prefix much earlier, immediately after the header part of each patch is parsed and we learn the name of the path the patch affects.
