2019-12-05mingw: refuse to access paths with trailing spaces or periodsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+3
When creating a directory on Windows whose path ends in a space or a period (or chains thereof), the Win32 API "helpfully" trims those. For example, `mkdir("abc ");` will return success, but actually create a directory called `abc` instead. This stems back to the DOS days, when all file names had exactly 8 characters plus exactly 3 characters for the file extension, and the only way to have shorter names was by padding with spaces. Sadly, this "helpful" behavior is a bit inconsistent: after a successful `mkdir("abc ");`, a `mkdir("abc /def")` will actually _fail_ (because the directory `abc ` does not actually exist). Even if it would work, we now have a serious problem because a Git repository could contain directories `abc` and `abc `, and on Windows, they would be "merged" unintentionally. As these paths are illegal on Windows, anyway, let's disallow any accesses to such paths on that Operating System. For practical reasons, this behavior is still guarded by the config setting `core.protectNTFS`: it is possible (and at least two regression tests make use of it) to create commits without involving the worktree. In such a scenario, it is of course possible -- even on Windows -- to create such file names. Among other consequences, this patch disallows submodules' paths to end in spaces on Windows (which would formerly have confused Git enough to try to write into incorrect paths, anyway). While this patch does not fix a vulnerability on its own, it prevents an attack vector that was exploited in demonstrations of a number of recently-fixed security bugs. The regression test added to `t/t7417-submodule-path-url.sh` reflects that attack vector. Note that we have to adjust the test case "prevent git~1 squatting on Windows" in `t/t7415-submodule-names.sh` because of a very subtle issue. It tries to clone two submodules whose names differ only in a trailing period character, and as a consequence their git directories differ in the same way. Previously, when Git tried to clone the second submodule, it thought that the git directory already existed (because on Windows, when you create a directory with the name `b.` it actually creates `b`), but with this patch, the first submodule's clone will fail because of the illegal name of the git directory. Therefore, when cloning the second submodule, Git will take a different code path: a fresh clone (without an existing git directory). Both code paths fail to clone the second submodule, both because the the corresponding worktree directory exists and is not empty, but the error messages are worded differently.

2019-12-05is_ntfs_dotgit(): only verify the leading segmentLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+8
The config setting `core.protectNTFS` is specifically designed to work not only on Windows, but anywhere, to allow for repositories hosted on, say, Linux servers to be protected against NTFS-specific attack vectors. As a consequence, `is_ntfs_dotgit()` manually splits backslash-separated paths (but does not do the same for paths separated by forward slashes), under the assumption that the backslash might not be a valid directory separator on the _current_ Operating System. However, the two callers, `verify_path()` and `fsck_tree()`, are supposed to feed only individual path segments to the `is_ntfs_dotgit()` function. This causes a lot of duplicate scanning (and very inefficient scanning, too, as the inner loop of `is_ntfs_dotgit()` was optimized for readability rather than for speed. Let's simplify the design of `is_ntfs_dotgit()` by putting the burden of splitting the paths by backslashes as directory separators on the callers of said function. Consequently, the `verify_path()` function, which already splits the path by directory separators, now treats backslashes as directory separators _explicitly_ when `core.protectNTFS` is turned on, even on platforms where the backslash is _not_ a directory separator. Note that we have to repeat some code in `verify_path()`: if the backslash is not a directory separator on the current Operating System, we want to allow file names like `\`, but we _do_ want to disallow paths that are clearly intended to cause harm when the repository is cloned on Windows. The `fsck_tree()` function (the other caller of `is_ntfs_dotgit()`) now needs to look for backslashes in tree entries' names specifically when `core.protectNTFS` is turned on. While it would be tempting to completely disallow backslashes in that case (much like `fsck` reports names containing forward slashes as "full paths"), this would be overzealous: when `core.protectNTFS` is turned on in a non-Windows setup, backslashes are perfectly valid characters in file names while we _still_ want to disallow tree entries that are clearly designed to exploit NTFS-specific behavior. This simplification will make subsequent changes easier to implement, such as turning `core.protectNTFS` on by default (not only on Windows) or protecting against attack vectors involving NTFS Alternate Data Streams. Incidentally, this change allows for catching malicious repositories that contain tree entries of the form `dir\.gitmodules` already on the server side rather than only on the client side (and previously only on Windows): in contrast to `is_ntfs_dotgit()`, the `is_ntfs_dotgitmodules()` function already expects the caller to split the paths by directory separators.

2018-10-12split-index: smudge and add racily clean cache entries to split indexLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-1/+1
Ever since the split index feature was introduced [1], refreshing a split index is prone to a variant of the classic racy git problem. Consider the following sequence of commands updating the split index when the shared index contains a racily clean cache entry, i.e. an entry whose cached stat data matches with the corresponding file in the worktree and the cached mtime matches that of the index: echo "cached content" >file git update-index --split-index --add file echo "dirty worktree" >file # size stays the same! # ... wait ... git update-index --add other-file Normally, when a non-split index is updated, then do_write_index() (the function responsible for writing all kinds of indexes, "regular", split, and shared) recognizes racily clean cache entries, and writes them with smudged stat data, i.e. with file size set to 0. When subsequent git commands read the index, they will notice that the smudged stat data doesn't match with the file in the worktree, and then go on to check the file's content and notice its dirtiness. In the above example, however, in the second 'git update-index' prepare_to_write_split_index() decides which cache entries stored only in the shared index should be replaced in the new split index. Alas, this function never looks out for racily clean cache entries, and since the file's stat data in the worktree hasn't changed since the shared index was written, it won't be replaced in the new split index. Consequently, do_write_index() doesn't even get this racily clean cache entry, and can't smudge its stat data. Subsequent git commands will then see that the index has more recent mtime than the file and that the (not smudged) cached stat data still matches with the file in the worktree, and, ultimately, will erroneously consider the file clean. Modify prepare_to_write_split_index() to recognize racily clean cache entries, and mark them to be added to the split index. Note that there are two places where it should check raciness: first those cache entries that are only stored in the shared index, and then those that have been copied by unpack_trees() from the shared index while it constructed a new index. This way do_write_index() will get these racily clean cache entries as well, and will then write them with smudged stat data to the new split index. This change makes all tests in 't1701-racy-split-index.sh' pass, so flip the two 'test_expect_failure' tests to success. Also add the '#' (as in nr. of trial) to those tests' description that were omitted when the tests expected failure. Note that after this change if the index is split when it contains a racily clean cache entry, then a smudged cache entry will be written both to the new shared and to the new split indexes. This doesn't affect regular git commands: as far as they are concerned this is just an entry in the split index replacing an outdated entry in the shared index. It did affect a few tests in 't1700-split-index.sh', though, because they actually check which entries are stored in the split index; a previous patch in this series has already made the necessary adjustments in 't1700'. And racily clean cache entries and index splitting are rare enough to not worry about the resulting duplicated smudged cache entries, and the additional complexity required to prevent them is not worth it. Several tests failed occasionally when the test suite was run with 'GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX=yes'. Here are those that I managed to trace back to this racy split index problem, starting with those failing more frequently, with a link to a failing Travis CI build job for each. The highlighted line [2] shows when the racy file was written, which is not always in the failing test but in a preceeding setup test. t3903-stash.sh: https://travis-ci.org/git/git/jobs/385542084#L5858 t4024-diff-optimize-common.sh: https://travis-ci.org/git/git/jobs/386531969#L3174 t4015-diff-whitespace.sh: https://travis-ci.org/git/git/jobs/360797600#L8215 t2200-add-update.sh: https://travis-ci.org/git/git/jobs/382543426#L3051 t0090-cache-tree.sh: https://travis-ci.org/git/git/jobs/416583010#L3679 There might be others, e.g. perhaps 't1000-read-tree-m-3way.sh' and others using 'lib-read-tree-m-3way.sh', but I couldn't confirm yet.

2018-07-31read-cache: fix directory/file conflict handling in read_index_unmerged()Libravatar Elijah Newren1-5/+8
read_index_unmerged() has two intended purposes: * return 1 if there are any unmerged entries, 0 otherwise * drops any higher-stage entries down to stage #0 There are several callers of read_index_unmerged() that check the return value to see if it is non-zero, all of which then die() if that condition is met. For these callers, dropping higher-stage entries down to stage #0 is a waste of resources, and returning immediately on first unmerged entry would be better. But it's probably only a very minor difference and isn't the focus of this series. The remaining callers ignore the return value and call this function for the side effect of dropping higher-stage entries down to stage #0. As mentioned in commit e11d7b596970 ("'reset --merge': fix unmerged case", 2009-12-31), The _only_ reason we want to keep a previously unmerged entry in the index at stage #0 is so that we don't forget the fact that we have corresponding file in the work tree in order to be able to remove it when the tree we are resetting to does not have the path. In fact, prior to commit d1a43f2aa4bf ("reset --hard/read-tree --reset -u: remove unmerged new paths", 2008-10-15), read_index_unmerged() did just remove unmerged entries from the cache immediately but that had the unwanted effect of leaving around new untracked files in the tree from aborted merges. So, that's the intended purpose of this function. The problem is that when directory/files conflicts are present, trying to add the file to the index at stage 0 fails (because there is still a directory in the way), and the function returns early with a -1 return code to signify the error. As noted above, none of the callers who want the drop-to-stage-0 behavior check the return status, though, so this means all remaining unmerged entries remain in the index and the callers proceed assuming otherwise. Users then see errors of the form: error: 'DIR-OR-FILE' appears as both a file and as a directory error: DIR-OR-FILE: cannot drop to stage #0 and potentially also messages about other unmerged entries which came lexicographically later than whatever pathname was both a file and a directory. Google finds a few hits searching for those messages, suggesting there were probably a couple people who hit this besides me. Luckily, calling `git reset --hard` multiple times would workaround this bug. Since the whole purpose here is to just put the entry *temporarily* into the index so that any associated file in the working copy can be removed, we can just skip the DFCHECK and allow both the file and directory to appear in the index. The temporary simultaneous appearance of the directory and file entries in the index will be removed by the callers by calling unpack_trees(), which excludes these unmerged entries marked with CE_CONFLICTED flag from the resulting index, before they attempt to write the index anywhere.

2018-07-03block alloc: allocate cache entries from mem_poolLibravatar Jameson Miller1-19/+100
When reading large indexes from disk, a portion of the time is dominated in malloc() calls. This can be mitigated by allocating a large block of memory and manage it ourselves via memory pools. This change moves the cache entry allocation to be on top of memory pools. Design: The index_state struct will gain a notion of an associated memory_pool from which cache_entries will be allocated from. When reading in the index from disk, we have information on the number of entries and their size, which can guide us in deciding how large our initial memory allocation should be. When an index is discarded, the associated memory_pool will be discarded as well - so the lifetime of a cache_entry is tied to the lifetime of the index_state that it was allocated for. In the case of a Split Index, the following rules are followed. 1st, some terminology is defined: Terminology: - 'the_index': represents the logical view of the index - 'split_index': represents the "base" cache entries. Read from the split index file. 'the_index' can reference a single split_index, as well as cache_entries from the split_index. `the_index` will be discarded before the `split_index` is. This means that when we are allocating cache_entries in the presence of a split index, we need to allocate the entries from the `split_index`'s memory pool. This allows us to follow the pattern that `the_index` can reference cache_entries from the `split_index`, and that the cache_entries will not be freed while they are still being referenced. Managing transient cache_entry structs: Cache entries are usually allocated for an index, but this is not always the case. Cache entries are sometimes allocated because this is the type that the existing checkout_entry function works with. Because of this, the existing code needs to handle cache entries associated with an index / memory pool, and those that only exist transiently. Several strategies were contemplated around how to handle this: Chosen approach: An extra field was added to the cache_entry type to track whether the cache_entry was allocated from a memory pool or not. This is currently an int field, as there are no more available bits in the existing ce_flags bit field. If / when more bits are needed, this new field can be turned into a proper bit field. Alternatives: 1) Do not include any information about how the cache_entry was allocated. Calling code would be responsible for tracking whether the cache_entry needed to be freed or not. Pro: No extra memory overhead to track this state Con: Extra complexity in callers to handle this correctly. The extra complexity and burden to not regress this behavior in the future was more than we wanted. 2) cache_entry would gain knowledge about which mem_pool allocated it Pro: Could (potentially) do extra logic to know when a mem_pool no longer had references to any cache_entry Con: cache_entry would grow heavier by a pointer, instead of int We didn't see a tangible benefit to this approach 3) Do not add any extra information to a cache_entry, but when freeing a cache entry, check if the memory exists in a region managed by existing mem_pools. Pro: No extra memory overhead to track state Con: Extra computation is performed when freeing cache entries We decided tracking and iterating over known memory pool regions was less desirable than adding an extra field to track this stae.

2018-07-03block alloc: add lifecycle APIs for cache_entry structsLibravatar Jameson Miller1-28/+65
It has been observed that the time spent loading an index with a large number of entries is partly dominated by malloc() calls. This change is in preparation for using memory pools to reduce the number of malloc() calls made to allocate cahce entries when loading an index. Add an API to allocate and discard cache entries, abstracting the details of managing the memory backing the cache entries. This commit does actually change how memory is managed - this will be done in a later commit in the series. This change makes the distinction between cache entries that are associated with an index and cache entries that are not associated with an index. A main use of cache entries is with an index, and we can optimize the memory management around this. We still have other cases where a cache entry is not persisted with an index, and so we need to handle the "transient" use case as well. To keep the congnitive overhead of managing the cache entries, there will only be a single discard function. This means there must be enough information kept with the cache entry so that we know how to discard them. A summary of the main functions in the API is: make_cache_entry: create cache entry for use in an index. Uses specified parameters to populate cache_entry fields. make_empty_cache_entry: Create an empty cache entry for use in an index. Returns cache entry with empty fields. make_transient_cache_entry: create cache entry that is not used in an index. Uses specified parameters to populate cache_entry fields. make_empty_transient_cache_entry: create cache entry that is not used in an index. Returns cache entry with empty fields. discard_cache_entry: A single function that knows how to discard a cache entry regardless of how it was allocated.

2018-05-21verify_path: disallow symlinks in .gitmodulesLibravatar Jeff King1-9/+31
There are a few reasons it's not a good idea to make .gitmodules a symlink, including: 1. It won't be portable to systems without symlinks. 2. It may behave inconsistently, since Git may look at this file in the index or a tree without bothering to resolve any symbolic links. We don't do this _yet_, but the config infrastructure is there and it's planned for the future. With some clever code, we could make (2) work. And some people may not care about (1) if they only work on one platform. But there are a few security reasons to simply disallow it: a. A symlinked .gitmodules file may circumvent any fsck checks of the content. b. Git may read and write from the on-disk file without sanity checking the symlink target. So for example, if you link ".gitmodules" to "../oops" and run "git submodule add", we'll write to the file "oops" outside the repository. Again, both of those are problems that _could_ be solved with sufficient code, but given the complications in (1) and (2), we're better off just outlawing it explicitly. Note the slightly tricky call to verify_path() in update-index's update_one(). There we may not have a mode if we're not updating from the filesystem (e.g., we might just be removing the file). Passing "0" as the mode there works fine; since it's not a symlink, we'll just skip the extra checks. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

2018-05-16object-store: move object access functions to object-store.hLibravatar Stefan Beller1-0/+1
This should make these functions easier to find and cache.h less overwhelming to read. In particular, this moves: - read_object_file - oid_object_info - write_object_file As a result, most of the codebase needs to #include object-store.h. In this patch the #include is only added to files that would fail to compile otherwise. It would be better to #include wherever identifiers from the header are used. That can happen later when we have better tooling for it. Signed-off-by: Stefan Beller <sbeller@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2018-03-20read-cache: fix an -Wmaybe-uninitialized warningLibravatar Ramsay Jones1-2/+4
The function ce_write_entry() uses a 'self-initialised' variable construct, for the symbol 'saved_namelen', to suppress a gcc '-Wmaybe-uninitialized' warning, given that the warning is a false positive. For the purposes of this discussion, the ce_write_entry() function has three code blocks of interest, that look like so: /* block #1 */ if (ce->ce_flags & CE_STRIP_NAME) { saved_namelen = ce_namelen(ce); ce->ce_namelen = 0; } /* block #2 */ /* * several code blocks that contain, among others, calls * to copy_cache_entry_to_ondisk(ondisk, ce); */ /* block #3 */ if (ce->ce_flags & CE_STRIP_NAME) { ce->ce_namelen = saved_namelen; ce->ce_flags &= ~CE_STRIP_NAME; } The warning implies that gcc thinks it is possible that the first block is not entered, the calls to copy_cache_entry_to_ondisk() could toggle the CE_STRIP_NAME flag on, thereby entering block #3 with saved_namelen unset. However, the copy_cache_entry_to_ondisk() function does not write to ce->ce_flags (it only reads). gcc could easily determine this, since that function is local to this file, but it obviously doesn't. In order to suppress this warning, we make it clear to the reader (human and compiler), that block #3 will only be entered when the first block has been entered, by introducing a new 'stripped_name' boolean variable. We also take the opportunity to change the type of 'saved_namelen' to 'unsigned int' to match ce->ce_namelen.

2018-03-01write_locked_index(): add flag to avoid writing unchanged indexLibravatar Martin Ågren1-0/+6
We have several callers like if (active_cache_changed && write_locked_index(...)) handle_error(); rollback_lock_file(...); where the final rollback is needed because "!active_cache_changed" shortcuts the if-expression. There are also a few variants of this, including some if-else constructs that make it more clear when the explicit rollback is really needed. Teach `write_locked_index()` to take a new flag SKIP_IF_UNCHANGED and simplify the callers. Leave the most complicated of the callers (in builtin/update-index.c) unchanged. Rewriting it to use this new flag would end up duplicating logic. We could have made the new flag behave the other way round ("FORCE_WRITE"), but that could break existing users behind their backs. Let's take the more conservative approach. We can still migrate existing callers to use our new flag. Later we might even be able to flip the default, possibly without entirely ignoring the risk to in-flight or out-of-tree topics.
