Jeff King a5adaced2e transport: add a protocol-whitelist environment variable
If we are cloning an untrusted remote repository into a
sandbox, we may also want to fetch remote submodules in
order to get the complete view as intended by the other
side. However, that opens us up to attacks where a malicious
user gets us to clone something they would not otherwise
have access to (this is not necessarily a problem by itself,
but we may then act on the cloned contents in a way that
exposes them to the attacker).

Ideally such a setup would sandbox git entirely away from
high-value items, but this is not always practical or easy
to set up (e.g., OS network controls may block multiple
protocols, and we would want to enable some but not others).

We can help this case by providing a way to restrict
particular protocols. We use a whitelist in the environment.
This is more annoying to set up than a blacklist, but
defaults to safety if the set of protocols git supports
grows). If no whitelist is specified, we continue to default
to allowing all protocols (this is an "unsafe" default, but
since the minority of users will want this sandboxing
effect, it is the only sensible one).

A note on the tests: ideally these would all be in a single
test file, but the git-daemon and httpd test infrastructure
is an all-or-nothing proposition rather than a test-by-test
prerequisite. By putting them all together, we would be
unable to test the file-local code on machines without
apache.

Junio C Hamano 2d8bb4685c Merge branch 'bc/connect-plink' into maint
The connection initiation code for "ssh" transport tried to absorb
differences between the stock "ssh" and Putty-supplied "plink" and
its derivatives, but the logic to tell that we are using "plink"
variants were too loose and falsely triggered when "plink" appeared
anywhere in the path (e.g. "/home/me/bin/uplink/ssh").

brian m. carlson baaf233755 connect: improve check for plink to reduce false positives
The git_connect function has code to handle plink and tortoiseplink
specially, as they require different command line arguments from
OpenSSH (-P instead of -p for ports; tortoiseplink additionally requires
-batch).  However, the match was done by checking for "plink" anywhere
in the string, which led to a GIT_SSH value containing "uplink" being
treated as an invocation of putty's plink.

Improve the check by looking for "plink" or "tortoiseplink" (or those
names suffixed with ".exe") only in the final component of the path.
This has the downside that a program such as "plink-0.63" would no
longer be recognized, but the increased robustness is likely worth it.
Add tests to cover these cases to avoid regressions.

Torsten Bögershausen 86ceb337ec connect.c: allow ssh://user@[2001:db8::1]/repo.git
The ssh:// syntax was added in 2386d658 (Add first cut at "git
protocol" connect logic., 2005-07-13), it accepted
ssh://user@2001:db8::1/repo.git, which is now legacy.

Over the years the parser was improved to support [] and port numbers,
but the combination of ssh://user@[2001:db8::1]:222/repo.git did
never work.

The only only way to use a user name, a literall IPV6 address and a port
number was ssh://[user@2001:db8::1]:222/repo.git

(Thanks to Christian Taube <lists@hcf.yourweb.de> for reporting this long
standing issue)

New users would use ssh://user@[2001:db8::1]:222/repo.git,
so change the parser to handle it correctly.

Support the old legacy URLs as well, to be backwards compatible,
and avoid regressions for users which upgrade an existing installation
to a later Git version.

Jeff King 94bc83c593 git_connect: let user override virtual-host we send to daemon
When we connect to a git-daemon at a given host and port, we
actually send the string "localhost:9418" to the other side,
which allows it to do virtual-hosting lookups. For testing
and debugging, we'd like to be able to send arbitrary
strings, rather than the hostname we actually connected to.

Using "insteadOf" config does not work for this purpose, as
the hostname determination happens at a very low level,
right before we feed the hostname to our lookup routines.
You could use /etc/hosts or similar to get around this, but
we cannot do that portably from our test suite.

Instead, this patch provides an environment variable that
can be used to send an arbitrary string.

Thomas Quinot 39942766ab git_connect: set ssh shell command in GIT_SSH_COMMAND
It may be impractical to install a wrapper script for GIT_SSH
when additional parameters need to be passed. Provide an alternative
way of specifying a shell command to be run, including command line
arguments, by means of the GIT_SSH_COMMAND environment variable,
which behaves like GIT_SSH but is passed to the shell.

The special circuitry to modify parameters in the case of using
PuTTY's plink/tortoiseplink is activated only when using GIT_SSH;
in the case of using GIT_SSH_COMMAND, it is deliberately left up to
the user to make any required parameters adaptation before calling
the underlying ssh implementation.

Jeff King ae021d8791 use skip_prefix to avoid magic numbers
It's a common idiom to match a prefix and then skip past it
with a magic number, like:

  if (starts_with(foo, "bar"))
	  foo += 3;

This is easy to get wrong, since you have to count the
prefix string yourself, and there's no compiler check if the
string changes.  We can use skip_prefix to avoid the magic
numbers here.

Note that some of these conversions could be much shorter.
For example:

  if (starts_with(arg, "--foo=")) {
	  bar = arg + 6;
	  continue;
  }

could become:

  if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &bar))
	  continue;

However, I have left it as:

  if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &v)) {
	  bar = v;
	  continue;
  }

to visually match nearby cases which need to actually
process the string. Like:

  if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &v)) {
	  bar = atoi(v);
	  continue;
  }

Jeff King 1823bea10f git_connect: use argv_array
This avoids magic numbers when we allocate fixed-size argv
arrays, and makes it more obvious that we are not
overflowing.

It is also the first step to fixing a memory leak. When
git_connect returns a child_process struct, the argv array
in the struct is dynamically allocated, but the individual
strings are not (they are either owned elsewhere, or are
freed). Later, in finish_connect, we free the array but
leave the strings alone.

This works for the child_process created by git_connect, but
if we use transport_take_over, we may also end up with a
child_process created by transport-helper's get_helper.
In that case, the strings are freshly allocated, and we
would want to free them.  However, we have no idea in
finish_connect which type we have.

By consistently using run-command's internal argv-array, we
do not have to worry about this issue at all; finish_command
takes care of it for us, and we can drop our manual free
entirely.

Note that this actually makes the get_helper leak slightly
worse; now we are leaking both the strings and the array.
But when we adjust it in a future patch, that leak will go
away entirely.

Use a protocol "local" for URLs for the local file system.

One note about using file:// under Windows:

The (absolute) path on Unix like system typically starts with "/".
When the host is empty, it can be omitted, so that a shell scriptlet
url=file://$pwd
will give a URL like "file:///home/user/repo".

Windows does not have the same concept of a root directory located in "/".

(even if RFC1738 indicates that "file:///C:/user/repo" should be used).

This has not been working for "host:/~repo".

Before commit 356bec "Support [address] in URLs", the comparison
"url != hostname" could be used to determine if the URL had a scheme
or not: "ssh://host/host" != "host".

However, after 356bec "[::1]" was converted into "::1", yielding
url != hostname as well.  To fix this regression, don't use
"if (url != hostname)", but look at the separator instead.

- parse host names embedded by [] correctly
- extract the port number, if present
- separate URLs like "file" (which are local)
  from URLs like "host:repo" which should use ssh

Add the new parameter "--diag-url" to "git fetch-pack", which prints
the value for protocol, host and path to stderr and exits.

Johannes Sixt cabc3c12e4 git_connect: factor out discovery of the protocol and its parts
git_connect has grown large due to the many different protocols syntaxes
that are supported. Move the part of the function that parses the URL to
connect to into a separate function for readability.

Johannes Sixt d98d109979 git_connect: remove artificial limit of a remote command
Since day one, function git_connect() had a limit on the command line of
the command that is invoked to make a connection. 7a33bcbe converted the
code that constructs the command to strbuf. This would have been the
right time to remove the limit, but it did not happen. Remove it now.

git_connect() uses start_command() to invoke the command; consequently,
the limits of the system still apply, but are diagnosed only at execve()
time. But these limits are more lenient than the 1K that git_connect()
imposed.

Christian Couder 5955654823 replace {pre,suf}fixcmp() with {starts,ends}_with()
Leaving only the function definitions and declarations so that any
new topic in flight can still make use of the old functions, replace
existing uses of the prefixcmp() and suffixcmp() with new API
functions.

The change can be recreated by mechanically applying this:

    $ git grep -l -e prefixcmp -e suffixcmp -- \*.c |
      grep -v strbuf\\.c |
      xargs perl -pi -e '
        s|!prefixcmp\(|starts_with\(|g;
        s|prefixcmp\(|!starts_with\(|g;
        s|!suffixcmp\(|ends_with\(|g;
        s|suffixcmp\(|!ends_with\(|g;
      '

on the result of preparatory changes in this series.

Junio C Hamano 9907d1359c Merge branch 'jc/upload-pack-send-symref'
One long-standing flaw in the pack transfer protocol used by "git
clone" was that there was no way to tell the other end which branch
"HEAD" points at, and the receiving end needed to guess.  A new
capability has been defined in the pack protocol to convey this
information so that cloning from a repository with more than one
branches pointing at the same commit where the HEAD is at now
reliably sets the initial branch in the resulting repository.

* jc/upload-pack-send-symref:
  t5570: Update for clone-progress-to-stderr branch
  t5570: Update for symref capability
  clone: test the new HEAD detection logic
  connect: annotate refs with their symref information in get_remote_head()
  connect.c: make parse_feature_value() static
  upload-pack: send non-HEAD symbolic refs
  upload-pack: send symbolic ref information as capability
  upload-pack.c: do not pass confusing cb_data to mark_our_ref()
  t5505: fix "set-head --auto with ambiguous HEAD" test

  clone: tighten "local paths with colons" check a bit
2013-10-14 11:06:57 -07:00
Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy 8d3d28f5db clone: tighten "local paths with colons" check a bit
commit 6000334 (clone: allow cloning local paths with colons in them -
2013-05-04) made it possible to specify a path that has colons in it
without file://, e.g. ../foo:bar/somewhere. But the check was a bit
sloppy.

Consider the url '[foo]:bar'. The '[]' unwrapping code will turn the
string to 'foo\0:bar'. In effect this new string is the same as
'foo/:bar' in the check "path < strchrnul(host, '/')", which mistakes
it for a local path (with '/' before the first ':') when it's actually
not.

So disable the check for '/' before ':' when the URL has been mangled
by '[]' unwrapping.

[jn: with tests from Jeff King]

Junio C Hamano a45b5f0552 connect: annotate refs with their symref information in get_remote_head()
By doing this, clients of upload-pack can now reliably tell what ref
a symbolic ref points at; the updated test in t5505 used to expect
failure due to the ambiguity and made sure we give diagnostics, but
we no longer need to be so pessimistic. Make sure we correctly learn
which branch HEAD points at from the other side instead.

Junio C Hamano 47a5918536 cache.h: move remote/connect API out of it
The definition of "struct ref" in "cache.h", a header file so
central to the system, always confused me.  This structure is not
about the local ref used by sha1-name API to name local objects.

It is what refspecs are expanded into, after finding out what refs
the other side has, to define what refs are updated after object
transfer succeeds to what values.  It belongs to "remote.h" together
with "struct refspec".

While we are at it, also move the types and functions related to the
Git transport connection to a new header file connect.h
