When renaming (or deleting) a section of configuration, Git uses the
function `git_config_copy_or_rename_section_in_file()` to rewrite the
configuration file after applying the rename or deletion to the given
section.
To do this, Git repeatedly calls `fgets()` to read the existing
configuration data into a fixed size buffer.
When the configuration value under `old_name` exceeds the size of the
buffer, we will call `fgets()` an additional time even if there is no
newline in the configuration file, since our read length is capped at
`sizeof(buf)`.
If the first character of the buffer (after zero or more characters
satisfying `isspace()`) is a '[', Git will incorrectly treat it as
beginning a new section when the original section is being removed. In
other words, a configuration value satisfying this criteria can
incorrectly be considered as a new secftion instead of a variable in the
original section.
Avoid this issue by using a variable-width buffer in the form of a
strbuf rather than a fixed-with region on the stack. A couple of small
points worth noting:
- Using a strbuf will cause us to allocate arbitrary sizes to match
the length of each line. In practice, we don't expect any
reasonable configuration files to have lines that long, and a
bandaid will be introduced in a later patch to ensure that this is
the case.
- We are using strbuf_getwholeline() here instead of strbuf_getline()
in order to match `fgets()`'s behavior of leaving the trailing LF
character on the buffer (as well as a trailing NUL).
This could be changed later, but using strbuf_getwholeline() changes
the least about this function's implementation, so it is picked as
the safest path.
- It is temping to want to replace the loop to skip over characters
matching isspace() at the beginning of the buffer with a convenience
function like `strbuf_ltrim()`. But this is the wrong approach for a
couple of reasons:
First, it involves a potentially large and expensive `memmove()`
which we would like to avoid. Second, and more importantly, we also
*do* want to preserve those spaces to avoid changing the output of
other sections.
In all, this patch is a minimal replacement of the fixed-width buffer in
`git_config_copy_or_rename_section_in_file()` to instead use a `struct
strbuf`.

In cc5e1bf992 (gettext: avoid initialization if the locale dir is not
present, 2018-04-21) Git was taught to avoid a costly gettext start-up
when there are not even any localized messages to work with.
But we still called `gettext()` and `ngettext()` functions.
Which caused a problem in Git for Windows when the libgettext that is
consumed from the MSYS2 project stopped using a runtime prefix in
https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/pull/10461
Due to that change, we now use an unintialized gettext machinery that
might get auto-initialized _using an unintended locale directory_:
`C:\mingw64\share\locale`.
Let's record the fact when the gettext initialization was skipped, and
skip calling the gettext functions accordingly.
This addresses CVE-2023-25815.

When renaming a configuration section which has an entry whose length
exceeds the size of our buffer in config.c's implementation of
`git_config_copy_or_rename_section_in_file()`, Git will incorrectly
form a new configuration section with part of the data in the section
being removed.
In this instance, our first configuration file looks something like:
[b]
c = d <spaces> [a] e = f
[a]
g = h
Here, we have two configuration values, "b.c", and "a.g". The value "[a]
e = f" belongs to the configuration value "b.c", and does not form its
own section.
However, when renaming the section 'a' to 'xyz', Git will write back
"[xyz]\ne = f", but "[xyz]" is still attached to the value of "b.c",
which is why "e = f" on its own line becomes a new entry called "b.e".
A slightly different example embeds the section being renamed within
another section.
Demonstrate this failure in a test in t1300, which we will fix in the
following commit.

The `git apply --reject` is expected to write out `.rej` files in case
one or more hunks fail to apply cleanly. Historically, the command
overwrites any existing `.rej` files. The idea being that
apply/reject/edit cycles are relatively common, and the generated `.rej`
files are not considered precious.
But the command does not overwrite existing `.rej` symbolic links, and
instead follows them. This is unsafe because the same patch could
potentially create such a symbolic link and point at arbitrary paths
outside the current worktree, and `git apply` would write the contents
of the `.rej` file into that location.
Therefore, let's make sure that any existing `.rej` file or symbolic
link is removed before writing it.

When parsing server capabilities, we use "int" to store lengths and
offsets. At first glance this seems like a spot where our parser may be
confused by integer overflow if somebody sent us a malicious response.
In practice these strings are all bounded by the 64k limit of a
pkt-line, so using "int" is OK. However, it makes the code simpler to
audit if they just use size_t everywhere. Note that because we take
these parameters as pointers, this also forces many callers to update
their declared types.

We have two overlapping tests for checking the behavior of "ls-remote
--symref" when filtering output. The first test checks that using
"--heads" will omit the symref for HEAD (since we don't print anything
about HEAD at all), but still prints other symrefs.
This has been marked as expecting failure since it was added in
99c08d4eb2 (ls-remote: add support for showing symrefs, 2016-01-19).
That's because back then, we only had the v0 protocol, and it only
reported on the HEAD symref, not others. But these days we have v2,
which does exactly what the test wants. It would even have started
unexpectedly passing when we switched to v2 by default, except that
b2f73b70b2 (t5512: compensate for v0 only sending HEAD symrefs,
2019-02-25) over-zealously marked it to run only in v0 mode.
So let's run it with both protocol versions, and adjust the expected
output for each. It passes in v2 without modification. In v0 mode, we'll
drop the extra symref, but this is still testing something useful: it
ensures that we do omit HEAD.
The test after this checks "--heads" again, this time using the expected
v0 output. That's now redundant. It also checks that limiting with a
pattern like "refs/heads/*" works similarly, but that's redundant with a
test earlier in the script which limits by HEAD (again, back then the
"HEAD" test was less interesting because there were no other symrefs to
omit, but in a modern v2 world, there are). So we can just delete that
second test entirely.

We have a test that checks that ls-remote, when asked only about HEAD,
will report the HEAD symref, and not others. This was marked to always
run with the v0 protocol by b2f73b70b2 (t5512: compensate for v0 only
sending HEAD symrefs, 2019-02-25).
But in v0 this test is doing nothing! For v0, upload-pack only reports
the HEAD symref anyway, so we'd never have any other symref to report.
For v2, it is useful; we learn about all symrefs (and the test repo has
multiple), so this demonstrates that we correctly avoid showing them.
We could perhaps mark this to test explicitly with v2, but since that is
the default these days, it's sufficient to just run ls-remote without
any protocol specification. It still passes if somebody does an explicit
GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION=0; it's just testing less.

Commit b2f73b70b2 (t5512: compensate for v0 only sending HEAD symrefs,
2019-02-25) configured this test to always run with protocol v0, since
the output is different for v2.
But that means we are not getting any test coverage of the feature with
v2 at all. We could obviously switch to using and expecting v2, but then
that leaves v0 behind (and while we don't use it by default, it's still
important for testing interoperability with older servers). Likewise, we
could switch the expected output based on $GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION,
but hardly anybody runs the tests for v0 these days.
Instead, let's explicitly run it for both protocol versions to make sure
they're well behaved. This matches other similar tests added later in
6a139cdd74 (ls-remote: pass heads/tags prefixes to transport,
2018-10-31), etc.

Commit eb398797cd (connect: advertized capability is not a ref,
2016-09-09) added support for an upload-pack server responding with:
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 capabilities^{}
followed by a NUL and the actual capabilities. We correctly parse the
oid using the packet_reader's hash_algo field, but then we compare it to
null_oid(), which will instead use our current repo's default algorithm.
If we're defaulting to sha256 locally but the other side is sha1, they
won't match and we'll fail to parse the line (and thus die()).
This can cause a test failure when the suite is run with
GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_HASH=sha256, and we even do so regularly via the
linux-sha256 CI job. But since the test requires JGit to run, it's
usually just skipped, and nobody noticed the problem.
The reason the original patch used JGit is that Git itself does not ever
produce such a line via upload-pack; the feature was added to fix a
real-world problem when interacting with JGit. That was good for
verifying that the incompatibility was fixed, but it's not a good
regression test:
- hardly anybody runs it, because you have to have jgit installed;
hence this bug going unnoticed
- we're depending on jgit's behavior for the test to do anything
useful. In particular, this behavior is only relevant to the v0
protocol, but these days we ask for the v2 protocol by default. So
for modern jgit, this is probably testing nothing.
- it's complicated and slow. We had to do some fifo trickery to handle
races, and this one test makes up 40% of the runtime of the total
script.
Instead, let's just hard-code the response that's of interest to us.
That will test exactly what we want for every run, and reveals the bug
when run in sha256 mode. And of course we'll fix the actual bug by using
the correct hash_algo struct.

There really isn't a "v1" Git protocol. It's just v0 with an extra probe
which we used to test compatibility in preparation for v2. Any tests
that are looking for before/after behavior for v2 really care about
"v0". Mentioning "v1" in these tests is just making things more
confusing, because we don't care about that probe; we're really testing
v0. So let's say so.

If Git's client-side parsing of an upload-pack response (so git-fetch or
ls-remote) sees multiple instances of a single capability, it can enter
an infinite loop due to a bug in advancing the "offset" parameter in the
parser.
This bug can't happen between a client and server of the same Git
version. The client bug is in parse_feature_value() when the caller
passes in an offset parameter. And that only happens when the v0
protocol is parsing "symref" and "object-format" capabilities, via
next_server_feature_value(). But Git has never produced multiple
object-format capabilities, and it stopped producing multiple symref
values in d007dbf7d6 (Revert "upload-pack: send non-HEAD symbolic refs",
2013-11-18).
However, upload-pack did produce multiple symref entries for a while,
and they are valid. Plus other implementations, such as Dulwich will
still do so. So we should handle them. And even if we do not expect it,
it is obviously a bug for the parser to enter an infinite loop.
The bug itself is pretty simple. Commit 2c6a403d96 (connect: add
function to parse multiple v1 capability values, 2020-05-25) added the
"offset" parameter, which is used as both an in- and out-parameter. When
parsing the first "symref" capability, *offset will be 0 on input, and
after parsing the capability, we set *offset to an index just past the
value by taking a pointer difference "(value + end) - feature_list".
But on the second call, now *offset is set to that larger index, which
lets us skip past the first "symref" capability. However, we do so by
incrementing feature_list. That means our pointer difference is now too
small; it is counting from where we resumed parsing, not from the start
of the original feature_list pointer. And because we incremented
feature_list only inside our function, and not the caller, that
increment is lost next time the function is called.
One solution would be to account for those skipped bytes by incrementing
*offset, rather than assigning to it. But wait, there's more!
We also increment feature_list if we have a near-miss. Say we are
looking for "symref" and find "almost-symref". In that case we'll point
feature_list to the "y" in "almost-symref" and restart our search. But
that again means our offset won't be correct, as it won't account for
the bytes between the start of the string and that "y".
So instead, let's just record the beginning of the feature_list string
in a separate pointer that we never touch. That offset we take in and
return is meant to be using that point as a base, and now we'll do so
consistently.
Since the bug can't be reproduced using the current version of
git-upload-pack, we'll instead hard-code an input which triggers the
problem. Before this patch it loops forever re-parsing the second symref
entry. Now we check both that it finishes, and that it parses both
entries correctly (a case we could not test at all before).
We don't need to worry about testing v2 here; it communicates the
capabilities in a completely different way, and doesn't use this code at
all. There are tests earlier in t5512 that are meant to cover this (they
don't, but we'll address that in a future patch).

6f054f9fb3 (builtin/clone.c: disallow --local clones with
symlinks, 2022-07-28) gives a good error message when "git clone
--local" fails when the repo to clone has symlinks in
"$GIT_DIR/objects". In bffc762f87 (dir-iterator: prevent top-level
symlinks without FOLLOW_SYMLINKS, 2023-01-24), we later extended this
restriction to the case where "$GIT_DIR/objects" is itself a symlink,
but we didn't update the error message then - bffc762f87's tests show
that we print a generic "failed to start iterator over" message.
This is exacerbated by the fact that Documentation/git-clone.txt
mentions neither restriction, so users are left wondering if this is
intentional behavior or not.
Fix this by adding a check to builtin/clone.c: when doing a local clone,
perform an extra check to see if "$GIT_DIR/objects" is a symlink, and if
so, assume that that was the reason for the failure and report the
relevant information. Ideally, dir_iterator_begin() would tell us that
the real failure reason is the presence of the symlink, but (as far as I
can tell) there isn't an appropriate errno value for that.
Also, update Documentation/git-clone.txt to reflect that this
restriction exists.

Test 'loosely defined local base branch is reported correctly' in
t2024-checkout-dwim.sh, which was introduced in [1] compares output of
two invocations of "git checkout", invoked with two different branches
named "strict" and "loose". As per description in [1], the test is
validating that output of tracking information for these two branches.
This tracking information is printed to standard output:
Your branch is behind 'main' by 1 commit, and can be fast-forwarded.
(use "git pull" to update your local branch)
The test assumes that the names of the two branches (strict and loose)
are in that output, and pipes the output through sed to replace names of
the branches with "BRANCHNAME". Command "git checkout", however,
outputs the branch name to standard error, not standard output -- see
message "Switched to branch '%s'\n" in function "update_refs_for_switch"
in "builtin/checkout.c". This means that the two invocations of sed do
nothing.
Redirect both the standard output and the standard error of "git
checkout" for these assertions. Ensure that compared files have the
string "BRANCHNAME".
In a series of piped commands, only the return code of the last command
is used. Thus, all other commands will have their return codes masked.
Avoid piping of output of git directly into sed to preserve the exit
status code of "git checkout", while we're here.
