2018-04-16gpg-interface: find the last gpg signature lineJeff King
A signed tag has a detached signature like this: object ... [...more header...] This is the tag body. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- [opaque gpg data] -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Our parser finds the _first_ line that appears to start a PGP signature block, meaning we may be confused by a signature (or a signature-like line) in the actual body. Let's keep parsing and always find the final block, which should be the detached signature over all of the preceding content.

2018-04-16gpg-interface: handle bool user.signingkeyJeff King
The config handler for user.signingkey does not check for a boolean value, and thus: git -c user.signingkey tag will segfault. We could fix this and even shorten the code by using git_config_string(). But our set_signing_key() helper is used by other code outside of gpg-interface.c, so we must keep it (and we may as well use it, because unlike git_config_string() it does not leak when we overwrite an old value). Ironically, the handler for gpg.program just below _could_ use git_config_string() but doesn't. But since we're going to touch that in a future patch, we'll leave it alone for now. We will add some whitespace and returns in preparation for adding more config keys, though.

2017-09-06tempfile: auto-allocate tempfiles on heapJeff King
The previous commit taught the tempfile code to give up ownership over tempfiles that have been renamed or deleted. That makes it possible to use a stack variable like this: struct tempfile t; create_tempfile(&t, ...); ... if (!err) rename_tempfile(&t, ...); else delete_tempfile(&t); But doing it this way has a high potential for creating memory errors. The tempfile we pass to create_tempfile() ends up on a global linked list, and it's not safe for it to go out of scope until we've called one of those two deactivation functions. Imagine that we add an early return from the function that forgets to call delete_tempfile(). With a static or heap tempfile variable, the worst case is that the tempfile hangs around until the program exits (and some functions like setup_shallow_temporary rely on this intentionally, creating a tempfile and then leaving it for later cleanup). But with a stack variable as above, this is a serious memory error: the variable goes out of scope and may be filled with garbage by the time the tempfile code looks at it. Let's see if we can make it harder to get this wrong. Since many callers need to allocate arbitrary numbers of tempfiles, we can't rely on static storage as a general solution. So we need to turn to the heap. We could just ask all callers to pass us a heap variable, but that puts the burden on them to call free() at the right time. Instead, let's have the tempfile code handle the heap allocation _and_ the deallocation (when the tempfile is deactivated and removed from the list). This changes the return value of all of the creation functions. For the cleanup functions (delete and rename), we'll add one extra bit of safety: instead of taking a tempfile pointer, we'll take a pointer-to-pointer and set it to NULL after freeing the object. This makes it safe to double-call functions like delete_tempfile(), as the second call treats the NULL input as a noop. Several callsites follow this pattern. The resulting patch does have a fair bit of noise, as each caller needs to be converted to handle: 1. Storing a pointer instead of the struct itself. 2. Passing the pointer instead of taking the struct address. 3. Handling a "struct tempfile *" return instead of a file descriptor. We could play games to make this less noisy. For example, by defining the tempfile like this: struct tempfile { struct heap_allocated_part_of_tempfile { int fd; ...etc } *actual_data; } Callers would continue to have a "struct tempfile", and it would be "active" only when the inner pointer was non-NULL. But that just makes things more awkward in the long run. There aren't that many callers, so we can simply bite the bullet and adjust all of them. And the compiler makes it easy for us to find them all. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-09-06tempfile: do not delete tempfile on failed closeJeff King
When close_tempfile() fails, we delete the tempfile and reset the fields of the tempfile struct. This makes it easier for callers to return without cleaning up, but it also makes this common pattern: if (close_tempfile(tempfile)) return error_errno("error closing %s", tempfile->filename.buf); wrong, because the "filename" field has been reset after the failed close. And it's not easy to fix, as in many cases we don't have another copy of the filename (e.g., if it was created via one of the mks_tempfile functions, and we just have the original template string). Let's drop the feature that a failed close automatically deletes the file. This puts the burden on the caller to do the deletion themselves, but this isn't that big a deal. Callers which do: if (write(...) || close_tempfile(...)) { delete_tempfile(...); return -1; } already had to call delete when the write() failed, and so aren't affected. Likewise, any caller which just calls die() in the error path is OK; we'll delete the tempfile during the atexit handler. Because this patch changes the semantics of close_tempfile() without changing its signature, all callers need to be manually checked and converted to the new scheme. This patch covers all in-tree callers, but there may be others for not-yet-merged topics. To catch these, we rename the function to close_tempfile_gently(), which will attract compile-time attention to new callers. (Technically the original could be considered "gentle" already in that it didn't die() on errors, but this one is even more so).

2017-09-06always check return value of close_tempfileJeff King
If close_tempfile() encounters an error, then it deletes the tempfile and resets the "struct tempfile". But many code paths ignore the return value and continue to use the tempfile. Instead, we should generally treat this the same as a write() error. Note that in the postimage of some of these cases our error message will be bogus after a failed close because we look at tempfile->filename (either directly or via get_tempfile_path). But after the failed close resets the tempfile object, this is guaranteed to be the empty string. That will be addressed in a future patch (because there are many more cases of the same problem than just these instances). Note also in the hunk in gpg-interface.c that it's fine to call delete_tempfile() in the error path, even if close_tempfile() failed and already deleted the file. The tempfile code is smart enough to know the second deletion is a noop. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-09-06verify_signed_buffer: prefer close_tempfile() to close()Jeff King
We do a manual close() on the descriptor provided to us by mks_tempfile. But this runs contrary to the advice in tempfile.h, which notes that you should always use close_tempfile(). Otherwise the descriptor may be reused without the tempfile object knowing it, and the later call to delete_tempfile() could close a random descriptor.

2016-10-12gpg-interface: use more status lettersMichael J Gruber
According to gpg2's doc/DETAILS: For each signature only one of the codes GOODSIG, BADSIG, EXPSIG, EXPKEYSIG, REVKEYSIG or ERRSIG will be emitted. gpg1 ("classic") behaves the same (although doc/DETAILS differs). Currently, we parse gpg's status output for GOODSIG, BADSIG and trust information and translate that into status codes G, B, U, N for the %G? format specifier. git-verify-* returns success in the GOODSIG case only. This is somewhat in disagreement with gpg, which considers the first 5 of the 6 above as VALIDSIG, but we err on the very safe side. Introduce additional status codes E, X, Y, R for ERRSIG, EXPSIG, EXPKEYSIG, and REVKEYSIG so that a user of %G? gets more information about the absence of a 'G' on first glance.

2016-08-16gpg-interface: prefer "long" key format output when verifying pgp signaturesLinus Torvalds
Yes, gpg2 already uses the long format by default, but most distributions seem to still have "gpg" be the older 1.x version due to compatibility reasons. And older versions of gpg only show the 32-bit short ID, which is quite insecure. This doesn't actually matter for the _verification_ itself: if the verification passes, the pgp signature is good. But if you don't actually have the key yet, and want to fetch it, or you want to check exactly which key was used for verification and want to check it, we should specify the key with more precision. In fact, we should preferentially specify the whole key fingerprint, but gpg doesn't actually support that. Which is really quite sad. Showing the "long" format improves things to at least show 64 bits of the fingerprint. That's a lot better, even if it's not perfect. This change the log format for "git log --show-signature" from commit 2376d31787760af598db23bb3982a57419854e5c merged tag 'v2.9.3' gpg: Signature made Fri 12 Aug 2016 09:17:59 AM PDT using RSA key ID 96AFE6CB gpg: Good signature from "Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>" gpg: aka "Junio C Hamano <jch@google.com>" gpg: aka "Junio C Hamano <junio@pobox.com>" Merge: 2807cd7b25af e0c1ceafc5be Author: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> Date: Fri Aug 12 10:02:18 2016 -0700 to commit 2376d31787760af598db23bb3982a57419854e5c merged tag 'v2.9.3' gpg: Signature made Fri 12 Aug 2016 09:17:59 AM PDT gpg: using RSA key B0B5E88696AFE6CB gpg: Good signature from "Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>" gpg: aka "Junio C Hamano <jch@google.com>" gpg: aka "Junio C Hamano <junio@pobox.com>" Merge: 2807cd7b25af e0c1ceafc5be Author: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> Date: Fri Aug 12 10:02:18 2016 -0700 (note the longer key ID, but also the reflowing of the text) and also changes the format in the merge messages when merging a signed tag. If you already use gpg2 (either because it's installed by default, or because you have set your gpg_program configuration to point to gpg2), that already used the long format, you'll also see a change: it will now have the same formatting as gpg 1.x, and the verification string looks something like gpg: Signature made Sun 24 Jul 2016 12:24:02 PM PDT gpg: using RSA key 79BE3E4300411886 gpg: Good signature from "Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>" [ultimate] where it used to be on one line: gpg: Signature made Sun 24 Jul 2016 12:24:02 PM PDT using RSA key ID 79BE3E4300411886 gpg: Good signature from "Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>" [ultimate] so there is certainly a chance this could break some automated scripting. But the 32-bit key ID's really are broken. Also note that because of the differences between gpg-1.x and gpg-2.x, hopefully any scripted key ID parsing code (if such code exists) is already flexible enough to not care. This was triggered by the fact that the "evil32" project keys ended up leaking to the public key servers, so now there are 32-bit aliases for just about every open source developer that you can easily get by mistake if you use the 32-bit short ID format.

2016-06-18sign_buffer: use pipe_commandJeff King
Similar to the prior commit for verify_signed_buffer, the motivation here is both to make the code simpler, and to avoid any possible deadlocks with gpg. In this case we have the same "write to stdin, then read from stdout" that the verify case had. This is unlikely to be a problem in practice, since stdout has the detached signature, which it cannot compute until it has read all of stdin (if it were a non-detached signature, that would be a problem, though). We don't read from stderr at all currently. However, we will want to in a future patch, so this also prepares us there (and in that case gpg _does_ write before reading all of the input, though again, it is unlikely that a key uid will fill up a pipe buffer).

2016-06-18verify_signed_buffer: use pipe_commandJeff King
This is shorter and should make the function easier to follow. But more importantly, it removes the possibility of any deadlocks based on reading or writing to gpg. It's not clear if such a deadlock is possible in practice. We do write the whole payload before reading anything, so we could deadlock there. However, in practice gpg will need to read our whole input to verify the signature, so it will drain our payload first. It could write an error to stderr before reading, but it's unlikely that such an error wouldn't be followed by it immediately exiting, or that the error would actually be larger than a pipe buffer. On the writing side, we drain stderr (with the human-readable output) in its entirety before reading stdout (with the status-fd data). Running strace on "gpg --verify" does show interleaved output on the two descriptors: write(2, "gpg: ", 5) = 5 write(2, "Signature made Thu 16 Jun 2016 0"..., 73) = 73 write(1, "[GNUPG:] SIG_ID tQw8KGcs9rBfLvAj"..., 66) = 66 write(1, "[GNUPG:] GOODSIG 69808639F9430ED"..., 60) = 60 write(2, "gpg: ", 5) = 5 write(2, "Good signature from \"Jeff King <"..., 47) = 47 write(2, "\n", 1) = 1 write(2, "gpg: ", 5) = 5 write(2, " aka \"Jeff King <"..., 49) = 49 write(2, "\n", 1) = 1 write(1, "[GNUPG:] VALIDSIG C49CE24156AF08"..., 135) = 135 write(1, "[GNUPG:] TRUST_ULTIMATE\n", 24) = 24 The second line written to stdout there contains the signer's UID, which can be arbitrarily long. If it fills the pipe buffer, then gpg would block writing to its stdout, while we are blocked trying to read its stderr. In practice, GPG seems to limit UIDs to 2048 bytes, so unless your pipe buffer size is quite small, or unless gpg does not enforce the limit under some conditions, this seems unlikely in practice. Still, it is not hard for us to be cautious and just use pipe_command. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-06-18verify_signed_buffer: use tempfile objectJeff King
We use git_mkstemp to create a temporary file, and try to clean it up in all exit paths from the function. But that misses any cases where we die by signal, or by calling die() in a sub-function. In addition, we missed one of the exit paths. Let's convert to using a tempfile object, which handles the hard cases for us, and add the missing cleanup call. Note that we would not simply want to rely on program exit to catch our missed cleanup, as this function may be called many times in a single program (for the same reason, we use a static tempfile instead of heap-allocating a new one; that gives an upper bound on our memory usage).

2016-06-18verify_signed_buffer: drop pbuf variableJeff King
If our caller gave us a non-NULL gpg_status parameter, we write the gpg status into their strbuf. If they didn't, then we write it to a temporary local strbuf (since we still need to look at it). The variable "pbuf" adds an extra layer of indirection so that the rest of the function can just access whichever is appropriate. However, the name "pbuf" isn't very descriptive, and it's easy to get confused about what is supposed to be in it (especially because we are reading both "status" and "output" from gpg). Rather than give it a more descriptive name, we can just use gpg_status as our indirection pointer. Either it points to the caller's input, or we can point it directly to our temporary buffer.

The verify_signed_buffer() function may trigger a SIGPIPE when the GPG child process terminates early (due to a bad keyid, for example) and Git tries to write to it afterwards. Previously, ignoring SIGPIPE was done in builtin/verify-tag.c to avoid this issue. However, any other caller who wants to call verify_signed_buffer() would have to do the same. Use sigchain_push(SIGPIPE, SIG_IGN) in verify_signed_buffer(), pretty much like in sign_buffer(), so that any caller is not required to perform this task.

Our signed-tag objects set the standard format used by Git to store GPG-signed payload (i.e. the payload followed by its detached signature) [*1*], and it made sense to have a helper to find the boundary between the payload and its signature in tag.c back then.

Most struct child_process variables are cleared using memset first after declaration. Provide a macro, CHILD_PROCESS_INIT, that can be used to initialize them statically instead. That's shorter, doesn't require a function call and is slightly more readable (especially given that we already have STRBUF_INIT, ARGV_ARRAY_INIT etc.).

2014-06-23gpg-interface: provide access to the payloadMichael J Gruber
In contrast to tag signatures, commit signatures are put into the header, that is between the other header parts and commit messages. Provide access to the commit content sans the signature, which is the payload that is actually signed. Commit signature verification does the parsing anyways, and callers may wish to act on or display the commit object sans the signature.

2013-02-14gpg-interface: check good signature in a reliable wayMichael J Gruber
Currently, verify_signed_buffer() only checks the return code of gpg, and some callers implement additional unreliable checks for "Good signature" in the gpg output meant for the user. Use the status output instead and parse for a line beinning with "[GNUPG:] GOODSIG ". This is the only reliable way of checking for a good gpg signature. If needed we can change this easily to "[GNUPG:] VALIDSIG " if we want to take into account the trust model.

2013-01-31gpg: close stderr once finished with it in verify_signed_buffer()Stephen Boyd
Failing to close the stderr pipe in verify_signed_buffer() causes git to run out of file descriptors if there are many calls to verify_signed_buffer(). An easy way to trigger this is to run git log --show-signature --merges | grep "key" on the linux kernel git repo. Eventually it will fail with error: cannot create pipe for gpg: Too many open files error: could not run gpg. Close the stderr pipe so that this can't happen.

2012-05-25ident: rename IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME to IDENT_STRICTJeff King
Callers who ask for ERROR_ON_NO_NAME are not so much concerned that the name will be blank (because, after all, we will fall back to using the username), but rather it is a check to make sure that low-quality identities do not end up in things like commit messages or emails (whereas it is OK for them to end up in things like reflogs). When future commits add more quality checks on the identity, each of these callers would want to use those checks, too. Rather than modify each of them later to add a new flag, let's refactor the flag. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2011-11-05Split GPG interface into its own helper libraryJunio C Hamano
This mostly moves existing code from builtin/tag.c (for signing) and builtin/verify-tag.c (for verifying) to a new gpg-interface.c file to provide a more generic library interface. - sign_buffer() takes a payload strbuf, a signature strbuf, and a signing key, runs "gpg" to produce a detached signature for the payload, and appends it to the signature strbuf. The contents of a signed tag that concatenates the payload and the detached signature can be produced by giving the same strbuf as payload and signature strbuf. - verify_signed_buffer() takes a payload and a detached signature as <ptr, len> pairs, and runs "gpg --verify" to see if the payload matches the signature. It can optionally capture the output from GPG to allow the callers to pretty-print it in a way more suitable for their contexts. "verify-tag" (aka "tag -v") used to save the whole tag contents as if it is a detached signature, and fed gpg the payload part of the tag. It relied on gpg to fail when the given tag is not signed but just is annotated. The updated run_gpg_verify() function detects the lack of detached signature in the input, and errors out without bothering "gpg". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
