2017-08-23pack: move pack name-related functionsLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-0/+1
Currently, sha1_file.c and cache.h contain many functions, both related to and unrelated to packfiles. This makes both files very large and causes an unclear separation of concerns. Create a new file, packfile.c, to hold all packfile-related functions currently in sha1_file.c. It has a corresponding header packfile.h. In this commit, the pack name-related functions are moved. Subsequent commits will move the other functions. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Tan <jonathantanmy@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2017-07-20http.c: http.sslcert and http.sslkey are both pathnamesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+2
Back when the modern http_options() codepath was created to parse various http.* options at 29508e1e ("Isolate shared HTTP request functionality", 2005-11-18), and then later was corrected for interation between the multiple configuration files in 7059cd99 ("http_init(): Fix config file parsing", 2009-03-09), we parsed configuration variables like http.sslkey, http.sslcert as plain vanilla strings, because git_config_pathname() that understands "~[username]/" prefix did not exist. Later, we converted some of them (namely, http.sslCAPath and http.sslCAInfo) to use the function, and added variables like http.cookeyFile http.pinnedpubkey to use the function from the beginning. Because of that, these variables all understand "~[username]/" prefix. Make the remaining two variables, http.sslcert and http.sslkey, also aware of the convention, as they are both clearly pathnames to files.

2017-04-13http: fix the silent ignoring of proxy misconfiguraionLibravatar Sergey Ryazanov1-0/+3
Earlier, the whole http.proxy option string was passed to curl without any preprocessing so curl could complain about the invalid proxy configuration. After the commit 372370f167 ("http: use credential API to handle proxy authentication", 2016-01-26), if the user specified an invalid HTTP proxy option in the configuration, then the option parsing silently fails and NULL will be passed to curl as a proxy. This forces curl to fall back to detecting the proxy configuration from the environment, causing the http.proxy option ignoring. Fix this issue by checking the proxy option parsing result. If parsing failed then print an error message and die. Such behaviour allows the user to quickly figure the proxy misconfiguration and correct it.

2017-04-13http: honor empty http.proxy option to bypass proxyLibravatar Sergey Ryazanov1-2/+8
Curl distinguishes between an empty proxy address and a NULL proxy address. In the first case it completely disables proxy usage, but if the proxy address option is NULL then curl attempts to determine the proxy address from the http_proxy environment variable. According to the documentation, if the http.proxy option is set to an empty string, git should bypass proxy and connect to the server directly: export http_proxy=http://network-proxy/ cd ~/foobar-project git config remote.origin.proxy "" git fetch Previously, proxy host was configured by one line: curl_easy_setopt(result, CURLOPT_PROXY, curl_http_proxy); Commit 372370f167 ("http: use credential API to handle proxy authentication", 2016-01-26) parses the proxy option, then extracts the proxy host address and updates the curl configuration, making the previous call a noop: credential_from_url(&proxy_auth, curl_http_proxy); curl_easy_setopt(result, CURLOPT_PROXY, proxy_auth.host); But if the proxy option is empty then the proxy host field becomes NULL. This forces curl to fall back to detecting the proxy configuration from the environment, causing the http.proxy option to not work anymore. Fix this issue by explicitly handling http.proxy being set the empty string. This also makes the code a bit more clear and should help us avoid such regressions in the future.

These could be candidates for turning into heap buffers, but they fall into a few broad categories that make it not worth doing: - formatting single numbers is simple enough that we can see the result should fit - the size of a sha1 is likewise well-known, and I didn't want to cause unnecessary conflicts with the ongoing process to convert these constants to GIT_MAX_HEXSZ - the interface for curl_errorstr is dictated by curl Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

2017-02-28http: attempt updating base URL only if no errorLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-0/+3
http.c supports HTTP redirects of the form http://foo/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack -> http://anything -> http://bar/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack (that is to say, as long as the Git part of the path and the query string is preserved in the final redirect destination, the intermediate steps can have any URL). However, if one of the intermediate steps results in an HTTP exception, a confusing "unable to update url base from redirection" message is printed instead of a Curl error message with the HTTP exception code. This was introduced by 2 commits. Commit c93c92f ("http: update base URLs when we see redirects", 2013-09-28) introduced a best-effort optimization that required checking if only the "base" part of the URL differed between the initial request and the final redirect destination, but it performed the check before any HTTP status checking was done. If something went wrong, the normal code path was still followed, so this did not cause any confusing error messages until commit 6628eb4 ("http: always update the base URL for redirects", 2016-12-06), which taught http to die if the non-"base" part of the URL differed. Therefore, teach http to check the HTTP status before attempting to check if only the "base" part of the URL differed. This commit teaches http_request_reauth to return early without updating options->base_url upon an error; the only invoker of this function that passes a non-NULL "options" is remote-curl.c (through "http_get_strbuf"), which only uses options->base_url for an informational message in the situations that this commit cares about (that is, when the return value is not HTTP_OK). The included test checks that the redirect scheme at the beginning of this commit message works, and that returning a 502 in the middle of the redirect scheme produces the correct result. Note that this is different from the test in commit 6628eb4 ("http: always update the base URL for redirects", 2016-12-06) in that this commit tests that a Git-shaped URL (http://.../info/refs?service=git-upload-pack) works, whereas commit 6628eb4 tests that a non-Git-shaped URL (http://.../info/refs/foo?service=git-upload-pack) does not work (even though Git is processing that URL) and is an error that is fatal, not silently swallowed.

2017-02-27http: add an "auto" mode for http.emptyauthLibravatar Jeff King1-5/+45
This variable needs to be specified to make some types of non-basic authentication work, but ideally this would just work out of the box for everyone. However, simply setting it to "1" by default introduces an extra round-trip for cases where it _isn't_ useful. We end up sending a bogus empty credential that the server rejects. Instead, let's introduce an automatic mode, that works like this: 1. We won't try to send the bogus credential on the first request. We'll wait to get an HTTP 401, as usual. 2. After seeing an HTTP 401, the empty-auth hack will kick in only when we know there is an auth method available that might make use of it (i.e., something besides "Basic" or "Digest"). That should make it work out of the box, without incurring any extra round-trips for people hitting Basic-only servers. This _does_ incur an extra round-trip if you really want to use "Basic" but your server advertises other methods (the emptyauth hack will kick in but fail, and then Git will actually ask for a password). The auto mode may incur an extra round-trip over setting http.emptyauth=true, because part of the emptyauth hack is to feed this blank password to curl even before we've made a single request.

2017-02-23http: restrict auth methods to what the server advertisesLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+2
By default, we tell curl to use CURLAUTH_ANY, which does not limit its set of auth methods. However, this results in an extra round-trip to the server when authentication is required. After we've fed the credential to curl, it wants to probe the server to find its list of available methods before sending an Authorization header. We can shortcut this by limiting our http_auth_methods by what the server told us it supports. In some cases (such as when the server only supports Basic), that lets curl skip the extra probe request. The end result should look the same to the user, but you can use GIT_TRACE_CURL to verify the sequence of requests: GIT_TRACE_CURL=1 \ git ls-remote https://example.com/repo.git \ 2>&1 >/dev/null | egrep '(Send|Recv) header: (GET|HTTP|Auth)' Before this patch, hitting a Basic-only server like github.com results in: Send header: GET /repo.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack HTTP/1.1 Recv header: HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required Send header: GET /repo.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack HTTP/1.1 Recv header: HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required Send header: GET /repo.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack HTTP/1.1 Send header: Authorization: Basic <redacted> Recv header: HTTP/1.1 200 OK And after: Send header: GET /repo.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack HTTP/1.1 Recv header: HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required Send header: GET /repo.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack HTTP/1.1 Send header: Authorization: Basic <redacted> Recv header: HTTP/1.1 200 OK The possible downsides are: - This only helps for a Basic-only server; for a server with multiple auth options, curl may still send a probe request to see which ones are available (IOW, there's no way to say "don't probe, I already know what the server will say"). - The http_auth_methods variable is global, so this will apply to all further requests. That's acceptable for Git's usage of curl, though, which also treats the credentials as global. I.e., in any given program invocation we hit only one conceptual server (we may be redirected at the outset, but in that case that's whose auth_avail field we'd see).

Add a from_user parameter to is_transport_allowed() to allow http to be able to distinguish between protocol restrictions for redirects versus initial requests. CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS can now be set differently from CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS to disallow use of protocols with the "user" policy in redirects. This change allows callers to query if a transport protocol is allowed, given that the caller knows that the protocol is coming from the user (1) or not from the user (0) such as redirects in libcurl. If unknown a -1 should be provided which falls back to reading `GIT_PROTOCOL_FROM_USER` to determine if the protocol came from the user.

2016-12-06http-walker: complain about non-404 loose object errorsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
Since commit 17966c0a6 (http: avoid disconnecting on 404s for loose objects, 2016-07-11), we turn off curl's FAILONERROR option and instead manually deal with failing HTTP codes. However, the logic to do so only recognizes HTTP 404 as a failure. This is probably the most common result, but if we were to get another code, the curl result remains CURLE_OK, and we treat it as success. We still end up detecting the failure when we try to zlib-inflate the object (which will fail), but instead of reporting the HTTP error, we just claim that the object is corrupt. Instead, let's catch anything in the 300's or above as an error (300's are redirects which are not an error at the HTTP level, but are an indication that we've explicitly disabled redirects, so we should treat them as such; we certainly don't have the resulting object content). Note that we also fill in req->errorstr, which we didn't do before. Without FAILONERROR, curl will not have filled this in, and it will remain a blank string. This never mattered for the 404 case, because in the logic below we hit the "missing_target()" branch and print nothing. But for other errors, we'd want to say _something_, if only to fill in the blank slot in the error message. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2016-12-06http: treat http-alternates like redirectsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
The previous commit made HTTP redirects more obvious and tightened up the default behavior. However, there's another way for a server to ask a git client to fetch arbitrary content: by having an http-alternates file (or a regular alternates file, which is used as a backup). Similar to the HTTP redirect case, a malicious server can claim to have refs pointing at object X, return a 404 when the client asks for X, but point to some other URL via http-alternates, which the client will transparently fetch. The end result is that it looks from the user's perspective like the objects came from the malicious server, as the other URL is not mentioned at all. Worse, because we feed the new URL to curl ourselves, the usual protocol restrictions do not kick in (neither curl's default of disallowing file://, nor the protocol whitelisting in f4113cac0 (http: limit redirection to protocol-whitelist, 2015-09-22). Let's apply the same rules here as we do for HTTP redirects. Namely: - unless http.followRedirects is set to "always", we will not follow remote redirects from http-alternates (or alternates) at all - set CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS alongside CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS restrict ourselves to a known-safe set and respect any user-provided whitelist. - mention alternate object stores on stderr so that the user is aware another source of objects may be involved The first item may prove to be too restrictive. The most common use of alternates is to point to another path on the same server. While it's possible for a single-server redirect to be an attack, it takes a fairly obscure setup (victim and evil repository on the same host, host speaks dumb http, and evil repository has access to edit its own http-alternates file). So we could make the checks more specific, and only cover cross-server redirects. But that means parsing the URLs ourselves, rather than letting curl handle them. This patch goes for the simpler approach. Given that they are only used with dumb http, http-alternates are probably pretty rare. And there's an escape hatch: the user can allow redirects on a specific server by setting http.<url>.followRedirects to "always".

2016-12-06http: make redirects more obviousLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+29
We instruct curl to always follow HTTP redirects. This is convenient, but it creates opportunities for malicious servers to create confusing situations. For instance, imagine Alice is a git user with access to a private repository on Bob's server. Mallory runs her own server and wants to access objects from Bob's repository. Mallory may try a few tricks that involve asking Alice to clone from her, build on top, and then push the result: 1. Mallory may simply redirect all fetch requests to Bob's server. Git will transparently follow those redirects and fetch Bob's history, which Alice may believe she got from Mallory. The subsequent push seems like it is just feeding Mallory back her own objects, but is actually leaking Bob's objects. There is nothing in git's output to indicate that Bob's repository was involved at all. The downside (for Mallory) of this attack is that Alice will have received Bob's entire repository, and is likely to notice that when building on top of it. 2. If Mallory happens to know the sha1 of some object X in Bob's repository, she can instead build her own history that references that object. She then runs a dumb http server, and Alice's client will fetch each object individually. When it asks for X, Mallory redirects her to Bob's server. The end result is that Alice obtains objects from Bob, but they may be buried deep in history. Alice is less likely to notice. Both of these attacks are fairly hard to pull off. There's a social component in getting Mallory to convince Alice to work with her. Alice may be prompted for credentials in accessing Bob's repository (but not always, if she is using a credential helper that caches). Attack (1) requires a certain amount of obliviousness on Alice's part while making a new commit. Attack (2) requires that Mallory knows a sha1 in Bob's repository, that Bob's server supports dumb http, and that the object in question is loose on Bob's server. But we can probably make things a bit more obvious without any loss of functionality. This patch does two things to that end. First, when we encounter a whole-repo redirect during the initial ref discovery, we now inform the user on stderr, making attack (1) much more obvious. Second, the decision to follow redirects is now configurable. The truly paranoid can set the new http.followRedirects to false to avoid any redirection entirely. But for a more practical default, we will disallow redirects only after the initial ref discovery. This is enough to thwart attacks similar to (2), while still allowing the common use of redirects at the repository level. Since c93c92f30 (http: update base URLs when we see redirects, 2013-09-28) we re-root all further requests from the redirect destination, which should generally mean that no further redirection is necessary. As an escape hatch, in case there really is a server that needs to redirect individual requests, the user can set http.followRedirects to "true" (and this can be done on a per-server basis via http.*.followRedirects config).

2016-12-06http: always update the base URL for redirectsLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+8
If a malicious server redirects the initial ref advertisement, it may be able to leak sha1s from other, unrelated servers that the client has access to. For example, imagine that Alice is a git user, she has access to a private repository on a server hosted by Bob, and Mallory runs a malicious server and wants to find out about Bob's private repository. Mallory asks Alice to clone an unrelated repository from her over HTTP. When Alice's client contacts Mallory's server for the initial ref advertisement, the server issues an HTTP redirect for Bob's server. Alice contacts Bob's server and gets the ref advertisement for the private repository. If there is anything to fetch, she then follows up by asking the server for one or more sha1 objects. But who is the server? If it is still Mallory's server, then Alice will leak the existence of those sha1s to her. Since commit c93c92f30 (http: update base URLs when we see redirects, 2013-09-28), the client usually rewrites the base URL such that all further requests will go to Bob's server. But this is done by textually matching the URL. If we were originally looking for "http://mallory/repo.git/info/refs", and we got pointed at "http://bob/other.git/info/refs", then we know that the right root is "http://bob/other.git". If the redirect appears to change more than just the root, we punt and continue to use the original server. E.g., imagine the redirect adds a URL component that Bob's server will ignore, like "http://bob/other.git/info/refs?dummy=1". We can solve this by aborting in this case rather than silently continuing to use Mallory's server. In addition to protecting from sha1 leakage, it's arguably safer and more sane to refuse a confusing redirect like that in general. For example, part of the motivation in c93c92f30 is avoiding accidentally sending credentials over clear http, just to get a response that says "try again over https". So even in a non-malicious case, we'd prefer to err on the side of caution. The downside is that it's possible this will break a legitimate but complicated server-side redirection scheme. The setup given in the newly added test does work, but it's convoluted enough that we don't need to care about it. A more plausible case would be a server which redirects a request for "info/refs?service=git-upload-pack" to just "info/refs" (because it does not do smart HTTP, and for some reason really dislikes query parameters). Right now we would transparently downgrade to dumb-http, but with this patch, we'd complain (and the user would have to set GIT_SMART_HTTP=0 to fetch).

http.emptyauth configuration is a way to allow an empty username to pass when attempting to authenticate using mechanisms like Kerberos. We took an unspecified (NULL) username and sent ":" (i.e. no username, no password) to CURLOPT_USERPWD, but did not do the same when the username is explicitly set to an empty string. * dt/http-empty-auth: http: http.emptyauth should allow empty (not just NULL) usernames

2016-10-04http: http.emptyauth should allow empty (not just NULL) usernamesLibravatar David Turner1-1/+1
When using Kerberos authentication with newer versions of libcurl, CURLOPT_USERPWD must be set to a value, even if it is an empty value. The value is never sent to the server. Previous versions of libcurl did not require this variable to be set. One way that some users express the empty username/password is http://:@gitserver.example.com, which http.emptyauth was designed to support. Another, equivalent, URL is http://@gitserver.example.com. The latter leads to a username of zero-length, rather than a NULL username, but CURLOPT_USERPWD still needs to be set (if http.emptyauth is set). Do so.

2016-09-29http: control GSSAPI credential delegationLibravatar Petr Stodulka1-0/+37
Delegation of credentials is disabled by default in libcurl since version 7.21.7 due to security vulnerability CVE-2011-2192. Which makes troubles with GSS/kerberos authentication when delegation of credentials is required. This can be changed with option CURLOPT_GSSAPI_DELEGATION in libcurl with set expected parameter since libcurl version 7.22.0. This patch provides new configuration variable http.delegation which corresponds to curl parameter "--delegation" (see man 1 curl). The following values are supported: * none (default). * policy * always Signed-off-by: Petr Stodulka <pstodulk@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2016-09-08remote-curl: handle URLs without protocolLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
Generally remote-curl would never see a URL that did not have "proto:" at the beginning, as that is what tells git to run the "git-remote-proto" helper (and git-remote-http, etc, are aliases for git-remote-curl). However, the special syntax "proto::something" will run git-remote-proto with only "something" as the URL. So a malformed URL like: http::/example.com/repo.git will feed the URL "/example.com/repo.git" to git-remote-http. The resulting URL has no protocol, but the code added by 372370f (http: use credential API to handle proxy authentication, 2016-01-26) does not handle this case and segfaults. For the purposes of this code, we don't really care what the exact protocol; only whether or not it is https. So let's just assume that a missing protocol is not, and curl will handle the real error (which is that the URL is nonsense).
