2018-05-22verify_path: disallow symlinks in .gitmodulesJeff King
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>
2018-05-22update-index: stat updated files earlierJeff King
In the update_one(), we check verify_path() on the proposed path before doing anything else. In preparation for having verify_path() look at the file mode, let's stat the file earlier, so we can check the mode accurately. This is made a bit trickier by the fact that this function only does an lstat in a few code paths (the ones that flow down through process_path()). So we can speculatively do the lstat() here and pass the results down, and just use a dummy mode for cases where we won't actually be updating the index from the filesystem.

2018-05-22submodule-config: verify submodule names as pathsJeff King
Submodule "names" come from the untrusted .gitmodules file, but we blindly append them to $GIT_DIR/modules to create our on-disk repo paths. This means you can do bad things by putting "../" into the name (among other things). Let's sanity-check these names to avoid building a path that can be exploited. There are two main decisions: 1. What should the allowed syntax be? It's tempting to reuse verify_path(), since submodule names typically come from in-repo paths. But there are two reasons not to: a. It's technically more strict than what we need, as we really care only about breaking out of the $GIT_DIR/modules/ hierarchy. E.g., having a submodule named "foo/.git" isn't actually dangerous, and it's possible that somebody has manually given such a funny name. b. Since we'll eventually use this checking logic in fsck to prevent downstream repositories, it should be consistent across platforms. Because verify_path() relies on is_dir_sep(), it wouldn't block "foo\..\bar" on a non-Windows machine. 2. Where should we enforce it? These days most of the .gitmodules reads go through submodule-config.c, so I've put it there in the reading step. That should cover all of the C code. We also construct the name for "git submodule add" inside the git-submodule.sh script. This is probably not a big deal for security since the name is coming from the user anyway, but it would be polite to remind them if the name they pick is invalid (and we need to expose the name-checker to the shell anyway for our test scripts). This patch issues a warning when reading .gitmodules and just ignores the related config entry completely. This will generally end up producing a sensible error, as it works the same as a .gitmodules file which is missing a submodule entry (so "submodule update" will barf, but "git clone --recurse-submodules" will print an error but not abort the clone. There is one minor oddity, which is that we print the warning once per malformed config key (since that's how the config subsystem gives us the entries). So in the new test, for example, the user would see three warnings. That's OK, since the intent is that this case should never come up outside of malicious repositories (and then it might even benefit the user to see the message multiple times). Credit for finding this vulnerability and the proof of concept from which the test script was adapted goes to Etienne Stalmans. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

2018-02-22commit: drop uses of get_cached_commit_buffer()Jeff King
The "--show-all" revision option shows UNINTERESTING commits. Some of these commits may be unparsed when we try to show them (since we may or may not need to walk their parents to fulfill the request). Commit 3131b71301 (Add "--show-all" revision walker flag for debugging, 2008-02-09) resolved this by just skipping pretty-printing for commits without their object contents cached, saying: Because we now end up listing commits we may not even have been parsed at all "show_log" and "show_commit" need to protect against commits that don't have a commit buffer entry. That was the easy fix to avoid the pretty-printer segfaulting, but: 1. It doesn't work for all formats. E.g., --oneline prints the oid for each such commit but not a trailing newline, leading to jumbled output. 2. It only affects some commits, depending on whether we happened to parse them or not (so if they were at the tip of an UNINTERESTING starting point, or if we happened to traverse over them, you'd see more data). 3. It unncessarily ties the decision to show the verbose header to whether the commit buffer was cached. That makes it harder to change the logic around caching (e.g., if we could traverse without actually loading the full commit objects). These days it's safe to feed such a commit to the pretty-print code. Since be5c9fb904 (logmsg_reencode: lazily load missing commit buffers, 2013-01-26), we'll load it on demand in such a case. So let's just always show the verbose headers. This does change the behavior of plumbing, but: a. The --show-all option was explicitly introduced as a debugging aid, and was never documented (and has rarely even been mentioned on the list by git devs). b. Avoiding the commits was already not deterministic due to (2) above. So the caller might have seen full headers for these commits anyway, and would need to be prepared for it.

2018-01-03clone: do not clean up directories we didn't createJeff King
Once upon a time, git-clone would refuse to write into a directory that it did not itself create. The cleanup routines for a failed clone could therefore just remove the git and worktree dirs completely. In 55892d2398 (Allow cloning to an existing empty directory, 2009-01-11), we learned to write into an existing directory. Which means that doing: mkdir foo git clone will-fail foo ends up deleting foo. This isn't a huge catastrophe, since by definition foo must be empty. But it's somewhat confusing; we should leave the filesystem as we found it. Because we know that the only directory we'll write into is an empty one, we can handle this case by just passing the KEEP_TOPLEVEL flag to our recursive delete (if we could write into populated directories, we'd have to keep track of what we wrote and what we did not, which would be much harder). Note that we need to handle the work-tree and git-dir separately, though, as only one might exist (and the new tests in t5600 cover all cases).

2018-01-03clone: factor out dir_exists() helperJeff King
Two parts of git-clone's setup logic check whether a directory exists, and they both call stat directly with the same scratch "struct stat" buffer. Let's pull that into a helper, which has a few advantages: - it makes the purpose of the stat calls more obvious - it makes it clear that we don't care about the information in "buf" remaining valid - if we later decide to make the check more robust (e.g., complaining about non-directories), we can do it in one place Note that we could just use file_exists() for this, which has identical code. But we specifically care about directories, so this future-proofs us against that function later getting more picky about seeing actual files.

2017-12-28checkout: avoid using the rev_info flag leak_pendingRené Scharfe
The leak_pending flag is so awkward to use that multiple comments had to be added around each occurrence. We only use it for remembering the commits whose marks we have to clear after checking if the old HEAD is detached. This is easy, though: We need to do that for the old commit, the new one -- and for all refs. Don't bother tracking exactly which commits need their flags cleared, just nuke all we have in-core. This change is safe because refs can point at anything, so other program parts can't depend on any kept flags anyway. And since all refs are loaded we have to basically deal with all commits anyway, so performance should not be negatively impacted.

2017-12-22commit: add support for --fixup <commit> -m"<extra message>"Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason
Add support for supplying the -m option with --fixup. Doing so has errored out ever since --fixup was introduced. Before this, the only way to amend the fixup message while committing was to use --edit and amend it in the editor. The use-case for this feature is one of: * Leaving a quick note to self when creating a --fixup commit when it's not self-evident why the commit should be squashed without a note into another one. * (Ab)using the --fixup feature to "fix up" commits that have already been pushed to a branch that doesn't allow non-fast-forwards, i.e. just noting "this should have been part of that other commit", and if the history ever got rewritten in the future the two should be combined. In such a case you might want to leave a small message, e.g. "forgot this part, which broke XYZ". With this, --fixup <commit> -m"More" -m"Details" will result in a commit message like: !fixup <subject of <commit>> More Details The reason the test being added here seems to squash "More" at the end of the subject line of the commit being fixed up is because the test code is using "%s%b" so the body immediately follows the subject, it's not a bug in this code, and other tests t7500-commit.sh do the same thing. When the --fixup option was initially added the "Option -m cannot be combined" error was expanded from -c, -C and -F to also include --fixup[1] Those options could also support combining with -m, but given what they do I can't think of a good use-case for doing that, so I have not made the more invasive change of splitting up the logic in commit.c to first act on those, and then on -m options. 1. d71b8ba7c9 ("commit: --fixup option for use with rebase --autosquash", 2010-11-02) Helped-by: Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com> Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2017-12-19builtin/describe.c: describe a blobStefan Beller
Sometimes users are given a hash of an object and they want to identify it further (ex.: Use verify-pack to find the largest blobs, but what are these? or [1]) When describing commits, we try to anchor them to tags or refs, as these are conceptually on a higher level than the commit. And if there is no ref or tag that matches exactly, we're out of luck. So we employ a heuristic to make up a name for the commit. These names are ambiguous, there might be different tags or refs to anchor to, and there might be different path in the DAG to travel to arrive at the commit precisely. When describing a blob, we want to describe the blob from a higher layer as well, which is a tuple of (commit, deep/path) as the tree objects involved are rather uninteresting. The same blob can be referenced by multiple commits, so how we decide which commit to use? This patch implements a rather naive approach on this: As there are no back pointers from blobs to commits in which the blob occurs, we'll start walking from any tips available, listing the blobs in-order of the commit and once we found the blob, we'll take the first commit that listed the blob. For example git describe --tags v0.99:Makefile conversion-901-g7672db20c2:Makefile tells us the Makefile as it was in v0.99 was introduced in commit 7672db20. The walking is performed in reverse order to show the introduction of a blob rather than its last occurrence.

2017-12-14clone, fetch: remove redundant transport checkJonathan Tan
Prior to commit a2d725b7bdf7 ("Use an external program to implement fetching with curl", 2009-08-05), if Git was compiled with NO_CURL, the get_refs_list and fetch methods in struct transport might not be populated, hence the checks in clone and fetch. After that commit, all transports populate get_refs_list and fetch, making the checks in clone and fetch redundant. Remove those checks.
