2021-11-01leak tests: mark some rev-list tests as passing with SANITIZE=leakLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+1
Mark some tests that match "*rev-list*" as passing when git is compiled with SANITIZE=leak. They'll now be listed as running under the "GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=true" test mode (the "linux-leaks" CI target).

2019-10-21parse_commit_buffer(): treat lookup_commit() failure as parse errorLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
While parsing the parents of a commit, if we are able to parse an actual oid but lookup_commit() fails on it (because we previously saw it in this process as a different object type), we silently omit the parent and do not report any error to the caller. The caller has no way of knowing this happened, because even an empty parent list is a valid parse result. As a result, it's possible to fool our "rev-list" connectivity check into accepting a corrupted set of objects. There's a test for this case already in t6102, but unfortunately it has a slight error. It creates a broken commit with a parent line pointing to a blob, and then checks that rev-list notices the problem in two cases: 1. the "lone" case: we traverse the broken commit by itself (here we try to actually load the blob from disk and find out that it's not a commit) 2. the "seen" case: we parse the blob earlier in the process, and then when calling lookup_commit() we realize immediately that it's not a commit The "seen" variant for this test mistakenly parsed another commit instead of the blob, meaning that we were actually just testing the "lone" case again. Changing that reveals the breakage (and shows that this fixes it). Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2019-04-10rev-list: detect broken root treesLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+4
When the traversal machinery sees a commit without a root tree, it assumes that the tree was part of a BOUNDARY commit, and quietly ignores the tree. But it could also be caused by a commit whose root tree is broken or missing. Instead, let's die() when we see a NULL root tree. We can differentiate it from the BOUNDARY case by seeing if the commit was actually parsed. This covers that case, plus future-proofs us against any others where we might try to show an unparsed commit.

2019-04-10rev-list: let traversal die when --missing is not in useLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
Commit 7c0fe330d5 (rev-list: handle missing tree objects properly, 2018-10-05) taught the traversal machinery used by git-rev-list to ignore missing trees, so that rev-list could handle them itself. However, it does so only by checking via oid_object_info_extended() that the object exists at all. This can miss several classes of errors that were previously detected by rev-list: - type mismatches (e.g., we expected a tree but got a blob) - failure to read the object data (e.g., due to bitrot on disk) This is especially important because we use "rev-list --objects" as our connectivity check to admit new objects to the repository, and it will now miss these cases (though the bitrot one is less important here, because we'd typically have just hashed and stored the object). There are a few options to fix this: 1. we could check these properties in rev-list when we do the existence check. This is probably too expensive in practice (perhaps even for a type check, but definitely for checking the whole content again, which implies loading each object into memory twice). 2. teach the traversal machinery to differentiate between a missing object, and one that could not be loaded as expected. This probably wouldn't be too hard to detect type mismatches, but detecting bitrot versus a truly missing object would require deep changes to the object-loading code. 3. have the traversal machinery communicate the failure to the caller, so that it can decide how to proceed without re-evaluting the object itself. Of those, I think (3) is probably the best path forward. However, this patch does none of them. In the name of expediently fixing the regression to a normal "rev-list --objects" that we use for connectivity checks, this simply restores the pre-7c0fe330d5 behavior of having the traversal die as soon as it fails to load a tree (when --missing is set to MA_ERROR, which is the default). Note that we can't get rid of the object-existence check in finish_object(), because this also handles blobs (which are not otherwise checked at all by the traversal code).

2019-04-10list-objects.c: handle unexpected non-blob entriesLibravatar Taylor Blau1-2/+3
Fix one of the cases described in the previous commit where a tree-entry that is promised to a blob is in fact a non-blob. When 'lookup_blob()' returns NULL, it is because Git has cached the requested object as a non-blob. In this case, prevent a SIGSEGV by 'die()'-ing immediately before attempting to dereference the result. Signed-off-by: Taylor Blau <me@ttaylorr.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2019-04-10t: introduce tests for unexpected object typesLibravatar Taylor Blau1-0/+123
Call an object's type "unexpected" when the actual type of an object does not match Git's contextual expectation. For example, a tree entry whose mode differs from the object's actual type, or a commit's parent which is not another commit, and so on. This can manifest itself in various unfortunate ways, including Git SIGSEGV-ing under specific conditions. Consider the following example: Git traverses a blob (say, via `git rev-list`), and then tries to read out a tree-entry which lists that object as something other than a blob. In this case, `lookup_blob()` will return NULL, and the subsequent dereference will result in a SIGSEGV. Introduce tests that present objects of "unexpected" type in the above fashion to 'git rev-list'. Mark as failures the combinations that are already broken (i.e., they exhibit the segfault described above). In the cases that are not broken (i.e., they have NULL-ness checks or similar), mark these as expecting success. We might hit an unexpected type in two different ways (imagine we have a tree entry that claims to be a tree but actually points to a blob): - when we call lookup_tree(), we might find that we've already seen the object referenced as a blob, in which case we'd get NULL. We can exercise this with "git rev-list --objects $blob $tree", which guarantees that the blob will have been parsed before we look in the tree. These tests are marked as "seen" in the test script. - we call lookup_tree() successfully, but when we try to read the object, we find out it's something else. We construct our tests such that $blob is not otherwise mentioned in $tree. These tests are marked as "lone" in the script. We should check that we behave sensibly in both cases (especially because it is easy for a malicious actor to provoke one case or the other).
