2009-10-21Fix incorrect error check while reading deflated pack dataLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-5/+3
The loop in get_size_from_delta() feeds a deflated delta data from the pack stream _until_ we get inflated result of 20 bytes[*] or we reach the end of stream. Side note. This magic number 20 does not have anything to do with the size of the hash we use, but comes from 1a3b55c (reduce delta head inflated size, 2006-10-18). The loop reads like this: do { in = use_pack(); stream.next_in = in; st = git_inflate(&stream, Z_FINISH); curpos += stream.next_in - in; } while ((st == Z_OK || st == Z_BUF_ERROR) && stream.total_out < sizeof(delta_head)); This git_inflate() can return: - Z_STREAM_END, if use_pack() fed it enough input and the delta itself was smaller than 20 bytes; - Z_OK, when some progress has been made; - Z_BUF_ERROR, if no progress is possible, because we either ran out of input (due to corrupt pack), or we ran out of output before we saw the end of the stream. The fix b3118bd (sha1_file: Fix infinite loop when pack is corrupted, 2009-10-14) attempted was against a corruption that appears to be a valid stream that produces a result larger than the output buffer, but we are not even trying to read the stream to the end in this loop. If avail_out becomes zero, total_out will be the same as sizeof(delta_head) so the loop will terminate without the "fix". There is no fix from b3118bd needed for this loop, in other words. The loop in unpack_compressed_entry() is quite a different story. It feeds a deflated stream (either delta or base) and allows the stream to produce output up to what we expect but no more. do { in = use_pack(); stream.next_in = in; st = git_inflate(&stream, Z_FINISH); curpos += stream.next_in - in; } while (st == Z_OK || st == Z_BUF_ERROR) This _does_ risk falling into an endless interation, as we can exhaust avail_out if the length we expect is smaller than what the stream wants to produce (due to pack corruption). In such a case, avail_out will become zero and inflate() will return Z_BUF_ERROR, while avail_in may (or may not) be zero. But this is not a right fix: do { in = use_pack(); stream.next_in = in; st = git_inflate(&stream, Z_FINISH); + if (st == Z_BUF_ERROR && (stream.avail_in || !stream.avail_out) + break; /* wants more input??? */ curpos += stream.next_in - in; } while (st == Z_OK || st == Z_BUF_ERROR) as Z_BUF_ERROR from inflate() may be telling us that avail_in has also run out before reading the end of stream marker. In such a case, both avail_in and avail_out would be zero, and the loop should iterate to allow the end of stream marker to be seen by inflate from the input stream. The right fix for this loop is likely to be to increment the initial avail_out by one (we allocate one extra byte to terminate it with NUL anyway, so there is no risk to overrun the buffer), and break out if we see that avail_out has become zero, in order to detect that the stream wants to produce more than what we expect. After the loop, we have a check that exactly tests this condition: if ((st != Z_STREAM_END) || stream.total_out != size) { free(buffer); return NULL; } So here is a patch (without my previous botched attempts) to fix this issue. The first hunk reverts the corresponding hunk from b3118bd, and the second hunk is the same fix proposed earlier. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-10-14sha1_file: Fix infinite loop when pack is corruptedLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+4
Some types of corruption to a pack may confuse the deflate stream which stores an object. In Andy's reported case a 36 byte region of the pack was overwritten, leading to what appeared to be a valid deflate stream that was trying to produce a result larger than our allocated output buffer could accept. Z_BUF_ERROR is returned from inflate() if either the input buffer needs more input bytes, or the output buffer has run out of space. Previously we only considered the former case, as it meant we needed to move the stream's input buffer to the next window in the pack. We now abort the loop if inflate() returns Z_BUF_ERROR without consuming the entire input buffer it was given, or has filled the entire output buffer but has not yet returned Z_STREAM_END. Either state is a clear indicator that this loop is not working as expected, and should not continue. This problem cannot occur with loose objects as we open the entire loose object as a single buffer and treat Z_BUF_ERROR as an error.

2009-06-18Fix big left-shifts of unsigned charLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-2/+1
Shifting 'unsigned char' or 'unsigned short' left can result in sign extension errors, since the C integer promotion rules means that the unsigned char/short will get implicitly promoted to a signed 'int' due to the shift (or due to other operations). This normally doesn't matter, but if you shift things up sufficiently, it will now set the sign bit in 'int', and a subsequent cast to a bigger type (eg 'long' or 'unsigned long') will now sign-extend the value despite the original expression being unsigned. One example of this would be something like unsigned long size; unsigned char c; size += c << 24; where despite all the variables being unsigned, 'c << 24' ends up being a signed entity, and will get sign-extended when then doing the addition in an 'unsigned long' type. Since git uses 'unsigned char' pointers extensively, we actually have this bug in a couple of places. I may have missed some, but this is the result of looking at git grep '[^0-9 ][ ]*<<[ ][a-z]' -- '*.c' '*.h' git grep '<<[ ]*24' which catches at least the common byte cases (shifting variables by a variable amount, and shifting by 24 bits). I also grepped for just 'unsigned char' variables in general, and converted the ones that most obviously ended up getting implicitly cast immediately anyway (eg hash_name(), encode_85()). In addition to just avoiding 'unsigned char', this patch also tries to use a common idiom for the delta header size thing. We had three different variations on it: "& 0x7fUL" in one place (getting the sign extension right), and "& ~0x80" and "& 0x7f" in two other places (not getting it right). Apart from making them all just avoid using "unsigned char" at all, I also unified them to then use a simple "& 0x7f". I considered making a sparse extension which warns about doing implicit casts from unsigned types to signed types, but it gets rather complex very quickly, so this is just a hack.

It seems that accessing NTFS partitions with ufsd (at least on my EeePC) has an unnerving bug: if you link() a file and unlink() it right away, the target of the link() will have the correct size, but consist of NULs. It seems as if the calls are simply not serialized correctly, as single-stepping through the function move_temp_to_file() works flawlessly. As ufsd is "Commertial software" (sic!), I cannot fix it, and have to work around it in Git. At the same time, it seems that this fixes msysGit issues 222 and 229 to assume that Windows cannot handle link() && unlink().

2009-03-28set_shared_perm(): sometimes we know what the final mode bits should look likeLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
adjust_shared_perm() first obtains the mode bits from lstat(2), expecting to find what the result of applying user's umask is, and then tweaks it as necessary. When the file to be adjusted is created with mkstemp(3), however, the mode thusly obtained does not have anything to do with user's umask, and we would need to start from 0444 in such a case and there is no point running lstat(2) for such a path. This introduces a new API set_shared_perm() to bypass the lstat(2) and instead force setting the mode bits to the desired value directly. adjust_shared_perm() becomes a thin wrapper to the function.

2009-03-27"core.sharedrepository = 0mode" should set, not loosenLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+7
This fixes the behaviour of octal notation to how it is defined in the documentation, while keeping the traditional "loosen only" semantics intact for "group" and "everybody". Three main points of this patch are: - For an explicit octal notation, the internal shared_repository variable is set to a negative value, so that we can tell "group" (which is to "OR" in 0660) and 0660 (which is to "SET" to 0660); - git-init did not set shared_repository variable early enough to affect the initial creation of many files, notably copied templates and the configuration. We set it very early when a command-line option specifies a custom value. - Many codepaths create files inside $GIT_DIR by various ways that all involve mkstemp(), and then call move_temp_to_file() to rename it to its final destination. We can add adjust_shared_perm() call here; for the traditional "loosen-only", this would be a no-op for many codepaths because the mode is already loose enough, but with the new behaviour it makes a difference.
