2016-09-21Merge branch 'jt/accept-capability-advertisement-when-fetching-from-void'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-6/+26
JGit can show a fake ref "capabilities^{}" to "git fetch" when it does not advertise any refs, but "git fetch" was not prepared to see such an advertisement. When the other side disconnects without giving any ref advertisement, we used to say "there may not be a repository at that URL", but we may have seen other advertisement like "shallow" and ".have" in which case we definitely know that a repository is there. The code to detect this case has also been updated. * jt/accept-capability-advertisement-when-fetching-from-void: connect: advertized capability is not a ref connect: tighten check for unexpected early hang up tests: move test_lazy_prereq JGIT to test-lib.sh
2016-09-09connect: advertized capability is not a refLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-0/+14
When cloning an empty repository served by standard git, "git clone" produces the following reassuring message: $ git clone git://localhost/tmp/empty Cloning into 'empty'... warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository. Checking connectivity... done. Meanwhile when cloning an empty repository served by JGit, the output is more haphazard: $ git clone git://localhost/tmp/empty Cloning into 'empty'... Checking connectivity... done. warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout. This is a common command to run immediately after creating a remote repository as preparation for adding content to populate it and pushing. The warning is confusing and needlessly worrying. The cause is that, since v3.1.0.201309270735-rc1~22 (Advertise capabilities with no refs in upload service., 2013-08-08), JGit's ref advertisement includes a ref named capabilities^{} to advertise its capabilities on, while git's ref advertisement is empty in this case. This allows the client to learn about the server's capabilities and is needed, for example, for fetch-by-sha1 to work when no refs are advertised. This also affects "ls-remote". For example, against an empty repository served by JGit: $ git ls-remote git://localhost/tmp/empty 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 capabilities^{} Git advertises the same capabilities^{} ref in its ref advertisement for push but since it never did so for fetch, the client didn't need to handle this case.

2016-09-09connect: tighten check for unexpected early hang upLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-6/+12
A server hanging up immediately to mark access being denied does not send any .have refs, shallow lines, or anything else before hanging up. If the server has sent anything, then the hangup is unexpected. That is, if the server hangs up after a shallow line but before sending any refs, then git should tell me so: fatal: The remote end hung up upon initial contact instead of suggesting an access control problem: fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. Noticed while examining this code. This case isn't likely to come up in practice but tightening the check makes the code easier to read and manipulate.

Sometimes it is necessary to force IPv4-only or IPv6-only operation on networks where name lookups may return a non-routable address and stall remote operations. The ssh(1) command has an equivalent switches which we may pass when we run them. There may be old ssh(1) implementations out there which do not support these switches; they should report the appropriate error in that case. rsync support is untouched for now since it is deprecated and scheduled to be removed.

2015-09-25convert trivial sprintf / strcpy calls to xsnprintfLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
We sometimes sprintf into fixed-size buffers when we know that the buffer is large enough to fit the input (either because it's a constant, or because it's numeric input that is bounded in size). Likewise with strcpy of constant strings. However, these sites make it hard to audit sprintf and strcpy calls for buffer overflows, as a reader has to cross-reference the size of the array with the input. Let's use xsnprintf instead, which communicates to a reader that we don't expect this to overflow (and catches the mistake in case we do).

2015-09-23transport: add a protocol-whitelist environment variableLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+5
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>
2015-09-08git_connect: clarify conn->use_shell flagLibravatar Jeff King1-9/+13
When executing user-specified programs, we generally always want to use a shell, for flexibility and consistency. One big exception is executing $GIT_SSH, which for historical reasons must not use a shell. Once upon a time the logic in git_connect looked like: if (protocol == PROTO_SSH) { ... setup ssh ... } else { ... setup local connection ... conn->use_shell = 1; } But over time the PROTO_SSH block has grown, and the "local" block has shrunk so that it contains only conn->use_shell; it's easy to miss at the end of the large block. Moreover, PROTO_SSH now also sometimes sets use_shell, when the new GIT_SSH_COMMAND is used. Let's just set conn->use_shell when we're setting up the "conn" struct, and unset it (with a comment) in the historical GIT_SSH case. This will make the flow easier to follow.

2015-09-04git_connect: clear GIT_* environment for sshLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
When we "switch" to another local repository to run the server side of a fetch or push, we must clear the variables in local_repo_env so that our local $GIT_DIR, etc, do not pollute the upload-pack or receive-pack that is executing in the "remote" repository. We have never done so for ssh connections. For the most part, nobody has noticed because ssh will not pass unknown environment variables by default. However, it is not out of the question for a user to configure ssh to pass along GIT_* variables using SendEnv/AcceptEnv. We can demonstrate the problem by using "git -c" on a local command and seeing its impact on a remote repository. This config ends up in $GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS. In the local case, the config has no impact, but in the ssh transport, it does (our test script has a fake ssh that passes through all environment variables; this isn't normal, but does simulate one possible setup).

2015-04-28connect: improve check for plink to reduce false positivesLibravatar brian m. carlson1-3/+15
The git_connect function has code to handle plink and tortoiseplink specially, as they require different command line arguments from OpenSSH (-P instead of -p for ports; tortoiseplink additionally requires -batch). However, the match was done by checking for "plink" anywhere in the string, which led to a GIT_SSH value containing "uplink" being treated as an invocation of putty's plink. Improve the check by looking for "plink" or "tortoiseplink" (or those names suffixed with ".exe") only in the final component of the path. This has the downside that a program such as "plink-0.63" would no longer be recognized, but the increased robustness is likely worth it. Add tests to cover these cases to avoid regressions.

When we connect to a git-daemon at a given host and port, we actually send the string "localhost:9418" to the other side, which allows it to do virtual-hosting lookups. For testing and debugging, we'd like to be able to send arbitrary strings, rather than the hostname we actually connected to. Using "insteadOf" config does not work for this purpose, as the hostname determination happens at a very low level, right before we feed the hostname to our lookup routines. You could use /etc/hosts or similar to get around this, but we cannot do that portably from our test suite.

2014-06-20use skip_prefix to avoid magic numbersLibravatar Jeff King1-5/+6
It's a common idiom to match a prefix and then skip past it with a magic number, like: if (starts_with(foo, "bar")) foo += 3; This is easy to get wrong, since you have to count the prefix string yourself, and there's no compiler check if the string changes. We can use skip_prefix to avoid the magic numbers here. Note that some of these conversions could be much shorter. For example: if (starts_with(arg, "--foo=")) { bar = arg + 6; continue; } could become: if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &bar)) continue; However, I have left it as: if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &v)) { bar = v; continue; } to visually match nearby cases which need to actually process the string.

2014-05-15git_connect: use argv_arrayLibravatar Jeff King1-18/+10
This avoids magic numbers when we allocate fixed-size argv arrays, and makes it more obvious that we are not overflowing. It is also the first step to fixing a memory leak. When git_connect returns a child_process struct, the argv array in the struct is dynamically allocated, but the individual strings are not (they are either owned elsewhere, or are freed). Later, in finish_connect, we free the array but leave the strings alone. This works for the child_process created by git_connect, but if we use transport_take_over, we may also end up with a child_process created by transport-helper's get_helper. In that case, the strings are freshly allocated, and we would want to free them. However, we have no idea in finish_connect which type we have. By consistently using run-command's internal argv-array, we do not have to worry about this issue at all; finish_command takes care of it for us, and we can drop our manual free entirely. Note that this actually makes the get_helper leak slightly worse; now we are leaking both the strings and the array. But when we adjust it in a future patch, that leak will go away entirely.

Fetching from a shallow-cloned repository used to be forbidden, primarily because the codepaths involved were not carefully vetted and we did not bother supporting such usage. This attempts to allow object transfer out of a shallow-cloned repository in a controlled way (i.e. the receiver become a shallow repository with truncated history). * nd/shallow-clone: (31 commits) t5537: fix incorrect expectation in test case 10 shallow: remove unused code send-pack.c: mark a file-local function static git-clone.txt: remove shallow clone limitations prune: clean .git/shallow after pruning objects clone: use git protocol for cloning shallow repo locally send-pack: support pushing from a shallow clone via http receive-pack: support pushing to a shallow clone via http smart-http: support shallow fetch/clone remote-curl: pass ref SHA-1 to fetch-pack as well send-pack: support pushing to a shallow clone receive-pack: allow pushes that update .git/shallow connected.c: add new variant that runs with --shallow-file add GIT_SHALLOW_FILE to propagate --shallow-file to subprocesses receive/send-pack: support pushing from a shallow clone receive-pack: reorder some code in unpack() fetch: add --update-shallow to accept refs that update .git/shallow upload-pack: make sure deepening preserves shallow roots fetch: support fetching from a shallow repository clone: support remote shallow repository ...
