When writing files git-apply(1) initially makes sure that none of the
files it is about to create are behind a symlink:
```
$ git init repo
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/repo/.git/
$ cd repo/
$ ln -s dir symlink
$ git apply - <<EOF
diff --git a/symlink/file b/symlink/file
new file mode 100644
index 0000000..e69de29
EOF
error: affected file 'symlink/file' is beyond a symbolic link
```
This safety mechanism is crucial to ensure that we don't write outside
of the repository's working directory. It can be fooled though when the
patch that is being applied creates the symbolic link in the first
place, which can lead to writing files in arbitrary locations.
Fix this by checking whether the path we're about to create is
beyond a symlink or not. Tightening these checks like this should be
fine as we already have these precautions in Git as explained
above. Ideally, we should update the check we do up-front before
starting to reflect the computed changes to the working tree so that
we catch this case as well, but as part of embargoed security work,
adding an equivalent check just before we try to write out a file
should serve us well as a reasonable first step.
Digging back into history shows that this vulnerability has existed
since at least Git v2.9.0. As Git v2.8.0 and older don't build on my
system anymore I cannot tell whether older versions are affected, as
well.

When using the dir_iterator API, we first stat(2) the base path, and
then use that as a starting point to enumerate the directory's contents.
If the directory contains symbolic links, we will immediately die() upon
encountering them without the `FOLLOW_SYMLINKS` flag. The same is not
true when resolving the top-level directory, though.
As explained in a previous commit, this oversight in 6f054f9fb3
(builtin/clone.c: disallow `--local` clones with symlinks, 2022-07-28)
can be used as an attack vector to include arbitrary files on a victim's
filesystem from outside of the repository.
Prevent resolving top-level symlinks unless the FOLLOW_SYMLINKS flag is
given, which will cause clones of a repository with a symlink'd
"$GIT_DIR/objects" directory to fail.

In the previous commit, t5619 demonstrates an issue where two calls to
`get_repo_path()` could trick Git into using its local clone mechanism
in conjunction with a non-local transport.
That sequence is:
- the starting state is that the local path https:/example.com/foo is a
symlink that points to ../../../.git/modules/foo. So it's dangling.
- get_repo_path() sees that no such path exists (because it's
dangling), and thus we do not canonicalize it into an absolute path
- because we're using --separate-git-dir, we create .git/modules/foo.
Now our symlink is no longer dangling!
- we pass the url to transport_get(), which sees it as an https URL.
- we call get_repo_path() again, on the url. This second call was
introduced by f38aa83f9a (use local cloning if insteadOf makes a
local URL, 2014-07-17). The idea is that we want to pull the url
fresh from the remote.c API, because it will apply any aliases.
And of course now it sees that there is a local file, which is a
mismatch with the transport we already selected.
The issue in the above sequence is calling `transport_get()` before
deciding whether or not the repository is indeed local, and not passing
in an absolute path if it is local.
This is reminiscent of a similar bug report in [1], where it was
suggested to perform the `insteadOf` lookup earlier. Taking that
approach may not be as straightforward, since the intent is to store the
original URL in the config, but to actually fetch from the insteadOf
one, so conflating the two early on is a non-starter.
Note: we pass the path returned by `get_repo_path(remote->url[0])`,
which should be the same as `repo_name` (aside from any `insteadOf`
rewrites).
We *could* pass `absolute_pathdup()` of the same argument, which
86521acaca (Bring local clone's origin URL in line with that of a remote
clone, 2008-09-01) indicates may differ depending on the presence of
".git/" for a non-bare repo. That matters for forming relative submodule
paths, but doesn't matter for the second call, since we're just feeding
it to the transport code, which is fine either way.

When cloning a repository, Git must determine (a) what transport
mechanism to use, and (b) whether or not the clone is local.
Since f38aa83f9a (use local cloning if insteadOf makes a local URL,
2014-07-17), the latter check happens after the remote has been
initialized, and references the remote's URL instead of the local path.
This is done to make it possible for a `url.<base>.insteadOf` rule to
convert a remote URL into a local one, in which case the `clone_local()`
mechanism should be used.
However, with a specially crafted repository, Git can be tricked into
using a non-local transport while still setting `is_local` to "1" and
using the `clone_local()` optimization. The below test case
demonstrates such an instance, and shows that it can be used to include
arbitrary (known) paths in the working copy of a cloned repository on a
victim's machine[^1], even if local file clones are forbidden by
`protocol.file.allow`.
This happens in a few parts:
1. We first call `get_repo_path()` to see if the remote is a local
path. If it is, we replace the repo name with its absolute path.
2. We then call `transport_get()` on the repo name and decide how to
access it. If it was turned into an absolute path in the previous
step, then we should always treat it like a file.
3. We use `get_repo_path()` again, and set `is_local` as appropriate.
But it's already too late to rewrite the repo name as an absolute
path, since we've already fed it to the transport code.
The attack works by including a submodule whose URL corresponds to a
path on disk. In the below example, the repository "sub" is reachable
via the dumb HTTP protocol at (something like):
http://127.0.0.1:NNNN/dumb/sub.git
However, the path "http:/127.0.0.1:NNNN/dumb" (that is, a top-level
directory called "http:", then nested directories "127.0.0.1:NNNN", and
"dumb") exists within the repository, too.
To determine this, it first picks the appropriate transport, which is
dumb HTTP. It then uses the remote's URL in order to determine whether
the repository exists locally on disk. However, the malicious repository
also contains an embedded stub repository which is the target of a
symbolic link at the local path corresponding to the "sub" repository on
disk (i.e., there is a symbolic link at "http:/127.0.0.1/dumb/sub.git",
pointing to the stub repository via ".git/modules/sub/../../../repo").
This stub repository fools Git into thinking that a local repository
exists at that URL and thus can be cloned locally. The affected call is
in `get_repo_path()`, which in turn calls `get_repo_path_1()`, which
locates a valid repository at that target.
This then causes Git to set the `is_local` variable to "1", and in turn
instructs Git to clone the repository using its local clone optimization
via the `clone_local()` function.
The exploit comes into play because the stub repository's top-level
"$GIT_DIR/objects" directory is a symbolic link which can point to an
arbitrary path on the victim's machine. `clone_local()` resolves the
top-level "objects" directory through a `stat(2)` call, meaning that we
read through the symbolic link and copy or hardlink the directory
contents at the destination of the link.
In other words, we can get steps (1) and (3) to disagree by leveraging
the dangling symlink to pick a non-local transport in the first step,
and then set is_local to "1" in the third step when cloning with
`--separate-git-dir`, which makes the symlink non-dangling.
This can result in data-exfiltration on the victim's machine when
sensitive data is at a known path (e.g., "/home/$USER/.ssh").
The appropriate fix is two-fold:
- Resolve the transport later on (to avoid using the local
clone optimization with a non-local transport).
- Avoid reading through the top-level "objects" directory when
(correctly) using the clone_local() optimization.
This patch merely demonstrates the issue. The following two patches will
implement each part of the above fix, respectively.
[^1]: Provided that any target directory does not contain symbolic
links, in which case the changes from 6f054f9fb3 (builtin/clone.c:
disallow `--local` clones with symlinks, 2022-07-28) will abort the
clone.

On platforms where `size_t` does not have the same width as `unsigned
long`, passing a pointer to the former when a pointer to the latter is
expected can lead to problems.
Windows and 32-bit Linux are among the affected platforms.
In this instance, we want to store the size of the blob that was read in
that variable. However, `read_blob_data_from_index()` passes that
pointer to `read_object_file()` which expects an `unsigned long *`.
Which means that on affected platforms, the variable is not fully
populated and part of its value is left uninitialized. (On Big-Endian
platforms, this problem would be even worse.)
The consequence is that depending on the uninitialized memory's
contents, we may erroneously reject perfectly fine attributes.
Let's address this by passing a pointer to a variable of the expected
data type.

Recently, a vulnerability was reported that can lead to an out-of-bounds
write when reading an unreasonably large gitattributes file. The root
cause of this error are multiple integer overflows in different parts of
the code when there are either too many lines, when paths are too long,
when attribute names are too long, or when there are too many attributes
declared for a pattern.
As all of these are related to size, it seems reasonable to restrict the
size of the gitattributes file via git-fsck(1). This allows us to both
stop distributing known-vulnerable objects via common hosting platforms
that have fsck enabled, and users to protect themselves by enabling the
`fetch.fsckObjects` config.
There are basically two checks:
1. We verify that size of the gitattributes file is smaller than
100MB.
2. We verify that the maximum line length does not exceed 2048
bytes.
With the preceding commits, both of these conditions would cause us to
either ignore the complete gitattributes file or blob in the first case,
or the specific line in the second case. Now with these consistency
checks added, we also grow the ability to stop distributing such files
in the first place when `receive.fsckObjects` is enabled.

In general, we don't need to validate blob contents as they are opaque
blobs about whose content Git doesn't need to care about. There are some
exceptions though when blobs are linked into trees so that they would be
interpreted by Git. We only have a single such check right now though,
which is the one for gitmodules that has been added in the context of
CVE-2018-11235.
Now we have found another vulnerability with gitattributes that can lead
to out-of-bounds writes and reads. So let's refactor `fsck_blob()` so
that it is more extensible and can check different types of blobs.

Both the padding and wrapping formatting directives allow the caller to
specify an integer that ultimately leads to us adding this many chars to
the result buffer. As a consequence, it is trivial to e.g. allocate 2GB
of RAM via a single formatting directive and cause resource exhaustion
on the machine executing this logic. Furthermore, it is debatable
whether there are any sane usecases that require the user to pad data to
2GB boundaries or to indent wrapped data by 2GB.
Restrict the input sizes to 16 kilobytes at a maximum to limit the
amount of bytes that can be requested by the user. This is not meant
as a fix because there are ways to trivially amplify the amount of
data we generate via formatting directives; the real protection is
achieved by the changes in previous steps to catch and avoid integer
wraparound that causes us to under-allocate and access beyond the
end of allocated memory reagions. But having such a limit
significantly helps fuzzing the pretty format, because the fuzzer is
otherwise quite fast to run out-of-memory as it discovers these
formatters.

In `strbuf_utf8_replace()`, we call `utf8_width()` to compute the width

be that `utf8_width()` returns `-1`, but because we assign this value to
a `size_t` the conversion will cause us to underflow. This bug can
easily be triggered with the following command:
$ git log --pretty='format:xxx%<|(1,trunc)%x10'
>From all I can see though this seems to be a benign underflow that has
no security-related consequences.

we now copy it into the target buffer but don't advance the current
width of the string.

`size_t`. This means that when the string is longer than `INT_MAX`, we
will overflow and thus return a negative result.
This can lead to an out-of-bounds write with `--pretty=format:%<1)%B`
and a commit message that is 2^31+1 bytes long:

Now the proper fix for this would be to convert both functions to return

of a security release, let's instead do the minimal viable fix and die
in case we see an overflow.

The `utf8_strnwidth()` function calls `utf8_width()` in a loop and adds
its returned width to the end result. `utf8_width()` can return `-1`
though in case it reads a control character, which means that the
computed string width is going to be wrong. In the worst case where
there are more control characters than non-control characters, we may
even return a negative string width.
Fix this bug by treating control characters as having zero width.

The `utf8_strnwidth()` function accepts an optional string length as
input parameter. This parameter can either be set to `-1`, in which case
we call `strlen()` on the input. Or it can be set to a positive integer
that indicates a precomputed length, which callers typically compute by
calling `strlen()` at some point themselves.
The input parameter is an `int` though, whereas `strlen()` returns a
`size_t`. This can lead to implementation-defined behaviour though when
the `size_t` cannot be represented by the `int`. In the general case
though this leads to wrap-around and thus to negative string sizes,
which is sure enough to not lead to well-defined behaviour.
Fix this by accepting a `size_t` instead of an `int` as string length.
While this takes away the ability of callers to simply pass in `-1` as
string length, it really is trivial enough to convert them to instead
pass in `strlen()` instead.

The `%w(width,indent1,indent2)` formatting directive can be used to
rewrap text to a specific width and is designed after git-shortlog(1)'s
`-w` parameter. While the three parameters are all stored as `size_t`
internally, `strbuf_add_wrapped_text()` accepts integers as input. As a
result, the casted integers may overflow. As these now-negative integers
are later on passed to `strbuf_addchars()`, we will ultimately run into
implementation-defined behaviour due to casting a negative number back
to `size_t` again. On my platform, this results in trying to allocate
9000 petabyte of memory.
Fix this overflow by using `cast_size_t_to_int()` so that we reject
inputs that cannot be represented as an integer.

When a formatting directive has a `+` or ` ` after the `%`, then we add
either a line feed or space if the placeholder expands to a non-empty
string. In specific cases though this logic doesn't work as expected,
and we try to add the character even in the case where the formatting
directive is empty.
One such pattern is `%w(1)%+d%+w(2)`. `%+d` expands to reference names
pointing to a certain commit, like in `git log --decorate`. For a tagged
commit this would for example expand to `\n (tag: v1.0.0)`, which has a
leading newline due to the `+` modifier and a space added by `%d`. Now
the second wrapping directive will cause us to rewrap the text to
`\n(tag:\nv1.0.0)`, which is one byte shorter due to the missing leading
space. The code that handles the `+` magic now notices that the length
has changed and will thus try to insert a leading line feed at the
original posititon. But as the string was shortened, the original
position is past the buffer's boundary and thus we die with an error.
Now there are two issues here:
1. We check whether the buffer length has changed, not whether it
has been extended. This causes us to try and add the character
past the string boundary.
2. The current logic does not make any sense whatsoever. When the
string got expanded due to the rewrap, putting the separator into
the original position is likely to put it somewhere into the
middle of the rewrapped contents.
It is debatable whether `%+w()` makes any sense in the first place.
Strictly speaking, the placeholder never expands to a non-empty string,
and consequentially we shouldn't ever accept this combination. We thus
fix the bug by simply refusing `%+w()`.

An out-of-bounds read can be triggered when parsing an incomplete
padding format string passed via `--pretty=format` or in Git archives
when files are marked with the `export-subst` gitattribute.
This bug exists since we have introduced support for truncating output
via the `trunc` keyword a7f01c6b4d (pretty: support truncating in %>, %<
and %><, 2013-04-19). Before this commit, we used to find the end of the
formatting string by using strchr(3P). This function returns a `NULL`
pointer in case the character in question wasn't found. The subsequent
check whether any character was found thus simply checked the returned
pointer. After the commit we switched to strcspn(3P) though, which only
returns the offset to the first found character or to the trailing NUL
byte. As the end pointer is now computed by adding the offset to the
start pointer it won't be `NULL` anymore, and as a consequence the check
doesn't do anything anymore.
The out-of-bounds data that is being read can in fact end up in the
formatted string. As a consequence, it is possible to leak memory
contents either by calling git-log(1) or via git-archive(1) when any of
the archived files is marked with the `export-subst` gitattribute.

With the `%>>(<N>)` pretty formatter, you can ask git-log(1) et al to
steal spaces. To do so we need to look ahead of the next token to see
whether there are spaces there. This loop takes into account ANSI
sequences that end with an `m`, and if it finds any it will skip them
until it finds the first space. While doing so it does not take into
account the buffer's limits though and easily does an out-of-bounds
read.
Add a test that hits this behaviour. While we don't have an easy way to
verify this, the test causes the following failure when run with
`SANITIZE=address`:

Luckily enough, this would only cause us to copy the out-of-bounds data
into the formatted commit in case we really had an ANSI sequence
preceding our buffer. So this bug likely has no security consequences.
Fix it regardless by not traversing past the buffer's start.

When using a padding specifier in the pretty format passed to git-log(1)
we need to calculate the string length in several places. These string
lengths are stored in `int`s though, which means that these can easily
overflow when the input lengths exceeds 2GB. This can ultimately lead to
an out-of-bounds write when these are used in a call to memcpy(3P):

The pretty format can also be used in `git archive` operations via the
`export-subst` attribute. So this is what in our opinion makes this a
critical issue in the context of Git forges which allow to download an
archive of user supplied Git repositories.
Fix this vulnerability by using `size_t` instead of `int` to track the
string lengths. Add tests which detect this vulnerability when Git is
compiled with the address sanitizer.

Similar as with the preceding commit, start ignoring gitattributes files
that are overly large to protect us against out-of-bounds reads and
writes caused by integer overflows. Unfortunately, we cannot just define
"overly large" in terms of any preexisting limits in the codebase.
Instead, we choose a very conservative limit of 100MB. This is plenty of
room for specifying gitattributes, and incidentally it is also the limit
for blob sizes for GitHub. While we don't want GitHub to dictate limits
here, it is still sensible to use this fact for an informed decision
given that it is hosting a huge set of repositories. Furthermore, over
at GitLab we scanned a subset of repositories for their root-level
attribute files. We found that 80% of them have a gitattributes file
smaller than 100kB, 99.99% have one smaller than 1MB, and only a single
repository had one that was almost 3MB in size. So enforcing a limit of
100MB seems to give us ample of headroom.
With this limit in place we can be reasonably sure that there is no easy
way to exploit the gitattributes file via integer overflows anymore.
Furthermore, it protects us against resource exhaustion caused by
allocating the in-memory data structures required to represent the
parsed attributes.

There are two different code paths to read gitattributes: once via a
file, and once via the index. These two paths used to behave differently
because when reading attributes from a file, we used fgets(3P) with a
buffer size of 2kB. Consequentially, we silently truncate line lengths
when lines are longer than that and will then parse the remainder of the
line as a new pattern. It goes without saying that this is entirely
unexpected, but it's even worse that the behaviour depends on how the
gitattributes are parsed.
While this is simply wrong, the silent truncation saves us with the
recently discovered vulnerabilities that can cause out-of-bound writes
or reads with unreasonably long lines due to integer overflows. As the
common path is to read gitattributes via the worktree file instead of
via the index, we can assume that any gitattributes file that had lines
longer than that is already broken anyway. So instead of lifting the
limit here, we can double down on it to fix the vulnerabilities.
Introduce an explicit line length limit of 2kB that is shared across all
paths that read attributes and ignore any line that hits this limit
while printing a warning.

When reading attributes from a file we use fgets(3P) with a buffer size
of 2048 bytes. This means that as soon as a line exceeds the buffer size
we split it up into multiple parts and parse each of them as a separate
pattern line. This is of course not what the user intended, and even
worse the behaviour is inconsistent with how we read attributes from the
index.
Fix this bug by converting the code to use `strbuf_getline()` instead.
This will indeed read in the whole line, which may theoretically lead to
an out-of-memory situation when the gitattributes file is huge. We're
about to reject any gitattributes files larger than 100MB in the next
commit though, which makes this less of a concern.

When parsing an attributes line, we need to allocate an array that holds
all attributes specified for the given file pattern. The calculation to
determine the number of bytes that need to be allocated was prone to an
overflow though when there was an unreasonable amount of attributes.
Harden the allocation by instead using the `st_` helper functions that
cause us to die when we hit an integer overflow.

Attributes have a field that tracks the position in the `all_attrs`
array they're stored inside. This field gets set via `hashmap_get_size`
when adding the attribute to the global map of attributes. But while the
field is of type `int`, the value returned by `hashmap_get_size` is an
`unsigned int`. It can thus happen that the value overflows, where we
would now dereference teh `all_attrs` array at an out-of-bounds value.
We do have a sanity check for this overflow via an assert that verifies
the index matches the new hashmap's size. But asserts are not a proper
mechanism to detect against any such overflows as they may not in fact
be compiled into production code.
Fix this by using an `unsigned int` to track the index and convert the
assert to a call `die()`.

The `struct attr_stack` tracks the stack of all patterns together with
their attributes. When parsing a gitattributes file that has more than
2^31 such patterns though we may trigger multiple out-of-bounds reads on
64 bit platforms. This is because while the `num_matches` variable is an
unsigned integer, we always use a signed integer to iterate over them.
I have not been able to reproduce this issue due to memory constraints
on my systems. But despite the out-of-bounds reads, the worst thing that
can seemingly happen is to call free(3P) with a garbage pointer when
calling `attr_stack_free()`.
Fix this bug by using unsigned integers to iterate over the array. While
this makes the iteration somewhat awkward when iterating in reverse, it
is at least better than knowingly running into an out-of-bounds read.
While at it, convert the call to `ALLOC_GROW` to use `ALLOC_GROW_BY`
instead.
