Jeff King a52ed76142 fast-import: disallow "feature import-marks" by default
As with export-marks in the previous commit, import-marks can access the
filesystem. This is significantly less dangerous than export-marks
because it only involves reading from arbitrary paths, rather than
writing them. However, it could still be surprising and have security
implications (e.g., exfiltrating data from a service that accepts
fast-import streams).

Let's lump it (and its "if-exists" counterpart) in with export-marks,
and enable the in-stream version only if --allow-unsafe-features is set.

Jeff King 68061e3470 fast-import: disallow "feature export-marks" by default
The fast-import stream command "feature export-marks=<path>" lets the
stream write marks to an arbitrary path. This may be surprising if you
are running fast-import against an untrusted input (which otherwise
cannot do anything except update Git objects and refs).

Let's disallow the use of this feature by default, and provide a
command-line option to re-enable it (you can always just use the
command-line --export-marks as well, but the in-stream version provides
an easy way for exporters to control the process).

This is a backwards-incompatible change, since the default is flipping
to the new, safer behavior. However, since the main users of the
in-stream versions would be import/export-based remote helpers, and
since we trust remote helpers already (which are already running
arbitrary code), we'll pass the new option by default when reading a
remote helper's stream. This should minimize the impact.

Note that the implementation isn't totally simple, as we have to work
around the fact that fast-import doesn't parse its command-line options
until after it has read any "feature" lines from the stream. This is how
it lets command-line options override in-stream. But in our case, it's
important to parse the new --allow-unsafe-features first.

There are three options for resolving this:

  1. Do a separate "early" pass over the options. This is easy for us to
     do because there are no command-line options that allow the
     "unstuck" form (so there's no chance of us mistaking an argument
     for an option), though it does introduce a risk of incorrect
     parsing later (e.g,. if we convert to parse-options).

  2. Move the option parsing phase back to the start of the program, but
     teach the stream-reading code never to override an existing value.
     This is tricky, because stream "feature" lines override each other
     (meaning we'd have to start tracking the source for every option).

  3. Accept that we might parse a "feature export-marks" line that is
     forbidden, as long we don't _act_ on it until after we've parsed
     the command line options.

     This would, in fact, work with the current code, but only because
     the previous patch fixed the export-marks parser to avoid touching
     the filesystem.

     So while it works, it does carry risk of somebody getting it wrong
     in the future in a rather subtle and unsafe way.

I've gone with option (1) here as simple, safe, and unlikely to cause
regressions.

This fixes CVE-2019-1348.

Jeff King 019683025f fast-import: delay creating leading directories for export-marks
When we parse the --export-marks option, we don't immediately open the
file, but we do create any leading directories. This can be especially
confusing when a command-line option overrides an in-stream one, in
which case we'd create the leading directory for the in-stream file,
even though we never actually write the file.

Let's instead create the directories just before opening the file, which
means we'll create only useful directories. Note that this could change
the handling of relative paths if we chdir() in between, but we don't
actually do so; the only permanent chdir is from setup_git_directory()
which runs before either code path (potentially we should take the
pre-setup dir into account to avoid surprising the user, but that's an
orthogonal change).

The test just adapts the existing "override" test to use paths with
leading directories. This checks both that the correct directory is
created (which worked before but was not tested), and that the
overridden one is not (our new fix here).

While we're here, let's also check the error result of
safe_create_leading_directories(). We'd presumably notice any failure
immediately after when we try to open the file itself, but we can give a
more specific error message in this case.

Jeff King 816f806786 t9300: create marks files for double-import-marks test
Our tests confirm that providing two "import-marks" options in a
fast-import stream is an error. However, the invoked command would fail
even without covering this case, because the marks files themselves do
not actually exist.  Let's create the files to make sure we fail for the
right reason (we actually do, because the option parsing happens before
we open anything, but this future-proofs our test).

Eric Rannaud 30e215a65c fast-import: checkpoint: dump branches/tags/marks even if object_count==0
The checkpoint command cycles packfiles if object_count != 0, a sensible
test or there would be no pack files to write. Since 820b931012, the
command also dumps branches, tags and marks, but still conditionally.
However, it is possible for a command stream to modify refs or create
marks without creating any new objects.

For example, reset a branch (and keep fast-import running):

	$ git fast-import
	reset refs/heads/master
	from refs/heads/master^

	checkpoint

but refs/heads/master remains unchanged.

Other example: a commit command that re-creates an object that already
exists in the object database.

The man page also states that checkpoint "updates the refs" and that
"placing a progress command immediately after a checkpoint will inform
the reader when the checkpoint has been completed and it can safely
access the refs that fast-import updated". This wasn't always true
without this patch.

This fix unconditionally calls dump_{branches,tags,marks}() for all
checkpoint commands. dump_branches() and dump_tags() are cheap to call
in the case of a no-op.

Add tests to t9300 that observe the (non-packfiles) effects of
checkpoint.

Jeff King 48860819e8 t9300: factor out portable "head -c" replacement
It is sometimes useful to be able to read exactly N bytes from a
pipe. Doing this portably turns out to be surprisingly difficult
in shell scripts.

We want a solution that:

  - is portable

  - never reads more than N bytes due to buffering (which
    would mean those bytes are not available to the next
    program to read from the same pipe)

  - handles partial reads by looping until N bytes are read
    (or we see EOF)

  - is resilient to stray signals giving us EINTR while
    trying to read (even though we don't send them, things
    like SIGWINCH could cause apparently-random failures)

Some possible solutions are:

  - "head -c" is not portable, and implementations may
    buffer (though GNU head does not)

  - "read -N" is a bash-ism, and thus not portable

  - "dd bs=$n count=1" does not handle partial reads. GNU dd
    has iflags=fullblock, but that is not portable

  - "dd bs=1 count=$n" fixes the partial read problem (all
    reads are 1-byte, so there can be no partial response).
    It does make a lot of write() calls, but for our tests
    that's unlikely to matter.  It's fairly portable. We
    already use it in our tests, and it's unlikely that
    implementations would screw up any of our criteria. The
    most unknown one would be signal handling.

  - perl can do a sysread() loop pretty easily. On my Linux
    system, at least, it seems to restart the read() call
    automatically. If that turns out not to be portable,
    though, it would be easy for us to handle it.

That makes the perl solution the least bad (because we
conveniently omitted "length of code" as a criterion).
It's also what t9300 is currently using, so we can just pull
the implementation from there.

Eric Wong d9545c7f46 fast-import: implement unpack limit
With many incremental imports, small packs become highly
inefficient due to the need to readdir scan and load many
indices to locate even a single object.  Frequent repacking and
consolidation may be prohibitively expensive in terms of disk
I/O, especially in large repositories where the initial packs
were aggressively optimized and marked with .keep files.

In those cases, users may be better served with loose objects
and relying on "git gc --auto".

This changes the default behavior of fast-import for small
imports found in test cases, so adjustments to t9300 were
necessary.

Junio C Hamano f55f97cb33 Merge branch 'jk/getwholeline-getdelim-empty' into maint
strbuf_getwholeline() did not NUL-terminate the buffer on certain
corner cases in its error codepath.

Jeff King b70904306f strbuf_getwholeline: NUL-terminate getdelim buffer on error
Commit 0cc30e0 (strbuf_getwholeline: use getdelim if it is
available, 2015-04-16) tries to clean up after getdelim()
returns EOF, but gets one case wrong, which can lead in some
obscure cases to us reading uninitialized memory.

After getdelim() returns -1, we re-initialize the strbuf
only if sb->buf is NULL. The thinking was that either:

  1. We fed an existing allocated buffer to getdelim(), and
     at most it would have realloc'd, leaving our NUL in
     place.

  2. We didn't have a buffer to feed, so we gave getdelim()
     NULL; sb->buf will remain NULL, and we just want to
     restore the empty slopbuf.

But that second case isn't quite right. getdelim() may
allocate a buffer, write nothing into it, and then return
EOF. The resulting strbuf rightfully has sb->len set to "0",
but is missing the NUL terminator in the first byte.

Most call-sites are fine with this. They see the EOF and
don't bother looking at the strbuf. Or they notice that
sb->len is empty, and don't look at the contents. But
there's at least one case that does neither, and relies on
parsing the resulting (possibly zero-length) string:
fast-import. You can see this in action with the new test
(though we probably only notice failure there when run with
--valgrind or ASAN).

We can fix this by unconditionally resetting the strbuf when
we have a buffer after getdelim(). That fixes case 2 above.
Case 1 is probably already fine in practice, but it does not
hurt for us to re-assert our invariants (especially because
we are relying on whatever getdelim() happens to do, which
may vary from platform to platform). Our fix covers that
case, too.

The backquoted form is the traditional method for command

command substitutions and/or the use of double quotes require
careful escaping with the backslash character.

Support for Back when bdccd3c1 (test-lib: allow negation of
prerequisites, 2012-11-14) introduced negated predicates
(e.g. "!MINGW,!CYGWIN"), we already had 5 test files that use
NOT_MINGW (and a few MINGW) as prerequisites.

Let's not add NOT_FOO and rewrite existing ones as !FOO for both
MINGW and CYGWIN.

Jeff King 94221d2203 t: use perl instead of "$PERL_PATH" where applicable
As of the last commit, we can use "perl" instead of
"$PERL_PATH" when running tests, as the former is now a
function which uses the latter. As the shorter "perl" is
easier on the eyes, let's switch to using it everywhere.

This is not quite a mechanical s/$PERL_PATH/perl/
replacement, though. There are some places where we invoke
perl from a script we generate on the fly, and those scripts
do not have access to our internal shell functions. The
result can be double-checked by running:

  ln -s /bin/false bin-wrappers/perl
  make test

which continues to pass even after this patch.

Junio C Hamano 89dde7882f Merge branch 'rh/ishes-doc'
We liberally use "committish" and "commit-ish" (and "treeish" and
"tree-ish"); as these are non-words, let's unify these terms to
their dashed form.  More importantly, clarify the documentation on
object peeling using these terms.

* rh/ishes-doc:
  glossary: fix and clarify the definition of 'ref'
  revisions.txt: fix and clarify <rev>^{<type>}
  glossary: more precise definition of tree-ish (a.k.a. treeish)
  use 'commit-ish' instead of 'committish'
  use 'tree-ish' instead of 'treeish'
  glossary: define commit-ish (a.k.a. committish)
  glossary: mention 'treeish' as an alternative to 'tree-ish'
2013-09-17 11:42:51 -07:00
Richard Hansen a8a5406ab3 use 'commit-ish' instead of 'committish'
Replace 'committish' in documentation and comments with 'commit-ish'
to match gitglossary(7) and to be consistent with 'tree-ish'.

The only remaining instances of 'committish' are:
  * variable, function, and macro names
  * "(also committish)" in the definition of commit-ish in
    gitglossary[7]

John Keeping 62bfa11cc9 fast-import: allow moving the root tree
Because fast-import.c::tree_content_remove does not check for the empty
path, it is not possible to move the root tree to a subdirectory.
Instead the error "Path  not in branch" is produced (note the double
space where the empty path has been inserted).

Fix this by explicitly checking for the empty path and handling it.

John Keeping e0eb6b9720 fast-import: allow ls or filecopy of the root tree
Commit 178e1de (fast-import: don't allow 'ls' of path with empty
components, 2012-03-09) restricted paths which:

    . contain an empty directory component (e.g. foo//bar is invalid),
    . end with a directory separator (e.g. foo/ is invalid),
    . start with a directory separator (e.g. /foo is invalid).

However, the implementation also caught the empty path, which should
represent the root tree.  Relax this restriction so that the empty path
is explicitly allowed and refers to the root tree.

John Keeping aca70610b6 t9300: document fast-import empty path issues
When given an empty path, fast-import sometimes reports "missing"
instead of using the root tree object.  On top of this, for "ls" and
file copy (but not move) it dies with "Empty path component found in
input".

Document this behaviour with failing test cases.

Junio C Hamano 967abba716 Merge branch 'vr/use-our-perl-in-tests'
Some implementations of Perl terminates "lines" with CRLF even when
the script is operating on just a sequence of bytes.  Make sure to
use "$PERL_PATH", the version of Perl the user told Git to use, in
our tests to avoid unnecessary breakages in tests.

* vr/use-our-perl-in-tests:
  t/README: add a bit more Don'ts
  tests: enclose $PERL_PATH in double quotes
  t/test-lib.sh: export PERL_PATH for use in scripts

Otherwise it will be split at a space after "Program" when it is set
to "\\Program Files\perl" or something silly like that.
