When ref-filter is asked to show %(content:subject), etc, we end up in
find_subpos() to parse out the three major parts: the subject, the body,
and the signature (if any).
When searching for the blank line between the subject and body, if we
don't find anything, we try to treat the whole message as the subject,
with no body. But our idea of "the whole message" needs to take into
account the signature, too. Since 9f75ce3d8f (ref-filter: handle CRLF at
end-of-line more gracefully, 2020-10-29), the code instead goes all the
way to the end of the buffer, which produces confusing output.
Here's an example. If we have a tag message like this:
this is the subject
-----BEGIN SSH SIGNATURE-----
...some stuff...
-----END SSH SIGNATURE-----
then the current parser will put the start of the body at the end of the
whole buffer. This produces two buggy outcomes:
- since the subject length is computed as (body - subject), showing
%(contents:subject) will print both the subject and the signature,
rather than just the single line
- since the body length is computed as (sig - body), and the body now
starts _after_ the signature, we end up with a negative length!
Fortunately we never access out-of-bounds memory, because the
negative length is fed to xmemdupz(), which casts it to a size_t,
and xmalloc() bails trying to allocate an absurdly large value.
In theory it would be possible for somebody making a malicious tag
to wrap it around to a more reasonable value, but it would require a
tag on the order of 2^63 bytes. And even if they did, all they get
is an out of bounds string read. So the security implications are
probably not interesting.
We can fix both by correctly putting the start of the body at the same
index as the start of the signature (effectively making the body empty).
Note that this is a real issue with signatures generated with gpg.format
set to "ssh", which would look like the example above. In the new tests
here I use a hard-coded tag message, for a few reasons:
- regardless of what the ssh-signing code produces now or in the
future, we should be testing this particular case
- skipping the actual signature makes the tests simpler to write (and
allows them to run on more systems)
- t6300 has helpers for working with gpg signatures; for the purposes
of this bug, "BEGIN PGP" is just as good a demonstration, and this
simplifies the tests
Curiously, the same issue doesn't happen with real gpg signatures (and
there are even existing tests in t6300 with cover this). Those have a
blank line between the header and the content, like:
this is the subject
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
...some stuff...
-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
Because we search for the subject/body separator line with a strstr(),
we find the blank line in the signature, even though it's outside of
what we'd consider the body. But that puts us unto a separate code path,
which realizes that we're now in the signature and adjusts the line back
to "sigstart". So this patch is basically just making the "no line found
at all" case match that. And note that "sigstart" is always defined (if
there is no signature, it points to the end of the buffer as you'd
expect).
