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).

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.

2016-09-08remote-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).

We introduce a way to send custom HTTP headers with all requests. This allows us, for example, to send an extra token from build agents for temporary access to private repositories. (This is the use case that triggered this patch.) This feature can be used like this: git -c http.extraheader='Secret: sssh!' fetch $URL $REF Note that `curl_easy_setopt(..., CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, ...)` takes only a single list, overriding any previous call. This means we have to collect _all_ of the headers we want to use into a single list, and feed it to cURL in one shot. Since we already unconditionally set a "pragma" header when initializing the curl handles, we can add our new headers to that list. For callers which override the default header list (like probe_rpc), we provide `http_copy_default_headers()` so they can do the same trick.

2016-01-26http: use credential API to handle proxy authenticationLibravatar Knut Franke1-0/+77
Currently, the only way to pass proxy credentials to curl is by including them in the proxy URL. Usually, this means they will end up on disk unencrypted, one way or another (by inclusion in ~/.gitconfig, shell profile or history). Since proxy authentication often uses a domain user, credentials can be security sensitive; therefore, a safer way of passing credentials is desirable. If the configured proxy contains a username but not a password, query the credential API for one. Also, make sure we approve/reject proxy credentials properly. For consistency reasons, add parsing of http_proxy/https_proxy/all_proxy environment variables, which would otherwise be evaluated as a fallback by curl. Without this, we would have different semantics for git configuration and environment variables.

2016-01-26http: allow selection of proxy authentication methodLibravatar Knut Franke1-3/+62
CURLAUTH_ANY does not work with proxies which answer unauthenticated requests with a 307 redirect to an error page instead of a 407 listing supported authentication methods. Therefore, allow the authentication method to be set using the environment variable GIT_HTTP_PROXY_AUTHMETHOD or configuration variables http.proxyAuthmethod and remote.<name>.proxyAuthmethod (in analogy to http.proxy and remote.<name>.proxy). The following values are supported: * anyauth (default) * basic * digest * negotiate * ntlm Signed-off-by: Knut Franke <k.franke@science-computing.de> Signed-off-by: Elia Pinto <gitter.spiros@gmail.com> Helped-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> Helped-by: Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com> Helped-by: Elia Pinto <gitter.spiros@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

More transition from "unsigned char[40]" to "struct object_id". This needed a few merge fixups, but is mostly disentangled from other topics. * bc/object-id: remote: convert functions to struct object_id Remove get_object_hash. Convert struct object to object_id Add several uses of get_object_hash. object: introduce get_object_hash macro. ref_newer: convert to use struct object_id push_refs_with_export: convert to struct object_id get_remote_heads: convert to struct object_id parse_fetch: convert to use struct object_id add_sought_entry_mem: convert to struct object_id Convert struct ref to use object_id. sha1_file: introduce has_object_file helper.
