2024-11-26credential: sanitize the user promptJohannes Schindelin
When asking the user interactively for credentials, we want to avoid misleading them e.g. via control sequences that pretend that the URL targets a trusted host when it does not. While Git learned, over the course of the preceding commits, to disallow URLs containing URL-encoded control characters by default, credential helpers are still allowed to specify values very freely (apart from Line Feed and NUL characters, anything is allowed), and this would allow, say, a username containing control characters to be specified that would then be displayed in the interactive terminal prompt asking the user for the password, potentially sending those control characters directly to the terminal. This is undesirable because control characters can be used to mislead users to divulge secret information to untrusted sites. To prevent such an attack vector, let's add a `git_prompt()` that forces the displayed text to be sanitized, i.e. displaying question marks instead of control characters. Note: While this commit's diff changes a lot of `user@host` strings to `user%40host`, which may look suspicious on the surface, there is a good reason for that: this string specifies a user name, not a <username>@<hostname> combination! In the context of t5541, the actual combination looks like this: `user%40@127.0.0.1:5541`. Therefore, these string replacements document a net improvement introduced by this commit, as `user@host@127.0.0.1` could have left readers wondering where the user name ends and where the host name begins.

The dumb-http code regressed when the result of re-indexing a pack yielded an *.idx file that differs in content from the *.idx file it downloaded from the remote.

2024-10-25dumb-http: store downloaded pack idx as tempfileJeff King
This patch fixes a regression in b1b8dfde69 (finalize_object_file(): implement collision check, 2024-09-26) where fetching a v1 pack idx file over the dumb-http protocol would cause the fetch to fail. The core of the issue is that dumb-http stores the idx we fetch from the remote at the same path that will eventually hold the idx we generate from "index-pack --stdin". The sequence is something like this: 0. We realize we need some object X, which we don't have locally, and nor does the other side have it as a loose object. 1. We download the list of remote packs from objects/info/packs. 2. For each entry in that file, we download each pack index and store it locally in .git/objects/pack/pack-$hash.idx (the $hash is not something we can verify yet and is given to us by the remote). 3. We check each pack index we got to see if it has object X. When we find a match, we download the matching .pack file from the remote to a tempfile. We feed that to "index-pack --stdin", which reindexes the pack, rather than trusting that it has what the other side claims it does. In most cases, this will end up generating the exact same (byte-for-byte) pack index which we'll store at the same pack-$hash.idx path, because the index generation and $hash id are computed based on what's in the packfile. But: a. The other side might have used other options to generate the index. For instance we use index v2 by default, but long ago it was v1 (and you can still ask for v1 explicitly). b. The other side might even use a different mechanism to determine $hash. E.g., long ago it was based on the sorted list of objects in the packfile, but we switched to using the pack checksum in 1190a1acf8 (pack-objects: name pack files after trailer hash, 2013-12-05). The regression we saw in the real world was (3a). A recent client fetching from a server with a v1 index downloaded that index, then complained about trying to overwrite it with its own v2 index. This collision is otherwise harmless; we know we want to replace the remote version with our local one, but the collision check doesn't realize that. There are a few options to fix it: - we could teach index-pack a command-line option to ignore only pack idx collisions, and use it when the dumb-http code invokes index-pack. This would be an awkward thing to expose users to and would involve a lot of boilerplate to get the option down to the collision code. - we could delete the remote .idx file right before running index-pack. It should be redundant at that point (since we've just downloaded the matching pack). But it feels risky to delete something from our own .git/objects based on what the other side has said. I'm not entirely positive that a malicious server couldn't lie about which pack-$hash.idx it has and get us to delete something precious. - we can stop co-mingling the downloaded idx files in our local objects directory. This is a slightly bigger change but I think fixes the root of the problem more directly. This patch implements the third option. The big design questions are: where do we store the downloaded files, and how do we manage their lifetimes? There are some additional quirks to the dumb-http system we should consider. Remember that in step 2 we downloaded every pack index, but in step 3 we may only download some of the matching packs. What happens to those other idx files now? They sit in the .git/objects/pack directory, possibly waiting to be used at a later date. That may save bandwidth for a subsequent fetch, but it also creates a lot of weird corner cases: - our local object directory now has semi-untrusted .idx files sitting around, without their matching .pack - in case 3b, we noted that we might not generate the same hash as the other side. In that case even if we download the matching pack, our index-pack invocation will store it in a different pack-$hash.idx file. And the unmatched .idx will sit there forever. - if the server repacks, it may delete the old packs. Now we have these orphaned .idx files sitting around locally that will never be used (nor deleted). - if we repack locally we may delete our local version of the server's pack index and not realize we have it. So we'll download it again, even though we have all of the objects it mentions. I think the right solution here is probably some more complex cache management system: download the remote .idx files to their own storage directory, mark them as "seen" when we get their matching pack (to avoid re-downloading even if we repack), and then delete them when the server's objects/info/refs no longer mentions them. But since the dumb http protocol is so ancient and so inferior to the smart http protocol, I don't think it's worth spending a lot of time creating such a system. For this patch I'm just downloading the idx files to .git/objects/tmp_pack_*, and marking them as tempfiles to be deleted when we exit (and due to the name, any we miss due to a crash, etc, should eventually be removed by "git gc" runs based on timestamps). That is slightly worse for one case: if we download an idx but not the matching pack, we won't retain that idx for subsequent runs. But the flip side is that we're making other cases better (we never hold on to useless idx files forever). I suspect that worse case does not even come up often, since it implies that the packs are generated to match distinct parts of history (i.e., in practice even in a repo with many packs you're going to end up grabbing all of those packs to do a clone). If somebody really cares about that, I think the right path forward is a managed cache directory as above, and this patch is providing the first step in that direction anyway (by moving things out of the objects/pack/ directory). There are two test changes. One demonstrates the broken v1 index case (it double-checks the resulting clone with fsck to be careful, but prior to this patch it actually fails at the clone step). The other tweaks the expectation for a test that covers the "slightly worse" case to accommodate the extra index download. The code changes are fairly simple. We stop using finalize_object_file() to copy the remote's index file into place, and leave it as a tempfile. We give the tempfile a real ".idx" name, since the packfile code expects that, and thus we make sure it is out of the usual packs/ directory (so we'd never mistake it for a real local .idx). We also have to change parse_pack_index(), which creates a temporary packed_git to access our index (we need this because all of the pack idx code assumes we have that struct). It reads the index data from the tempfile, but prior to this patch would speculatively write the finalized name into the packed_git struct using the pack-$hash we expect to use. I was mildly surprised that this worked at all, since we call verify_pack_index() on the packed_git which mentions the final name before moving the file into place! But it works because parse_pack_index() leaves the mmap-ed data in the struct, so the lazy-open in verify_pack_index() never triggers, and we read from the tempfile, ignoring the filename in the struct completely. Hacky, but it works. After this patch, parse_pack_index() now uses the index filename we pass in to derive a matching .pack name. This is OK to change because there are only two callers, both in the dumb http code (and the other passes in an existing pack-$hash.idx name, so the derived name is going to be pack-$hash.pack, which is what we were using anyway). I'll follow up with some more cleanups in that area, but this patch is sufficient to fix the regression.

2024-10-25t5550: count fetches in "previously-fetched .idx" testJeff King
We have a test in t5550 that looks at index fetching over dumb http. It creates two branches, each of which is completely stored in its own pack, then fetches the branches independently. What should (and does) happen is that the first fetch grabs both .idx files and one .pack file, and then the fetch of the second branch re-uses the previously downloaded .idx files (fetching none) and grabs the now-required .pack file. Since the next few patches will be touching this area of the code, let's beef up the test a little by checking that we're downloading the expected items at each step.

2024-10-16t/test-lib: wire up NO_ICONV prerequisitePatrick Steinhardt
The iconv library is used by Git to reencode files, commit messages and other things. As such it is a rather integral part, but given that many platforms nowadays use UTF-8 everywhere you can live without support for reencoding in many situations. It is thus optional to build Git with iconv, and some of our platforms wired up in "config.mak.uname" disable it. But while we support building without it, running our test suite with "NO_ICONV=Yes" causes many test failures. Wire up a new test prerequisite ICONV that gets populated via our GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS. Annotate failing tests accordingly. Note that this commit does not do a deep dive into every single test to assess whether the failure is expected or not. Most of the tests do smell like the expected kind of failure though. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Taylor Blau <me@ttaylorr.com>
2024-09-25http-walker: free fake packed_git listJeff King
The dumb-http walker code creates a "fake" packed_git list representing packs we've downloaded from the remote (I call it "fake" because generally that struct is only used and managed by the local repository struct). But during our cleanup phase we don't touch those at all, causing a leak. There's no support here from the rest of the object-database API, as these structs are not meant to be freed, except when closing the object store completely. But we can see that raw_object_store_clear() just calls free() on them, and that's enough here to fix the leak. I also added a call to close_pack() before each. In the regular code this happens via close_object_store(), which we do as part of raw_object_store_clear(). This is necessary to prevent leaking mmap'd data (like the pack idx) or descriptors. The leak-checker won't catch either of these itself, but I did confirm with some hacky warning() calls and running t5550 that it's easy to leak at least index data. This is all much more intimate with the packed_git struct than I'd like, but I think fixing it would be a pretty big refactor. And it's just not worth it for dumb-http code which is rarely used these days. If we can silence the leak-checker without creating too much hassle, we should just do that. This lets us mark t5550 as leak-free. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2024-06-14http-fetch: don't crash when parsing packfile without a repoPatrick Steinhardt
The git-http-fetch(1) command accepts a `--packfile=` option, which allows the user to specify that it shall fetch a specific packfile, only. The parameter here is the hash of the packfile, which is specific to the object hash used by the repository. This requirement is implicit though via our use of `parse_oid_hex()`, which internally uses `the_repository`. The git-http-fetch(1) command allows for there to be no repository though, which only exists such that we can show usage via the "-h" option. In that case though, starting with c8aed5e8da (repository: stop setting SHA1 as the default object hash, 2024-05-07), `the_repository` does not have its object hash initialized anymore and thus we would crash when trying to parse the object ID outside of a repository. Fix this issue by dying immediately when we see a "--packfile=" parameter when outside a Git repository. This is not a functional regression as we would die later on with the same error anyway. Add a test to detect the segfault. We use the "nongit" function to do so, which we need to allow-list in `test_must_fail ()`.

2024-05-06remote-curl: fix parsing of detached SHA256 headsPatrick Steinhardt
The dumb HTTP transport tries to read the remote HEAD reference by downloading the "HEAD" file and then parsing it via `http_fetch_ref()`. This function will either parse the file as an object ID in case it is exactly `the_hash_algo->hexsz` long, or otherwise it will check whether the reference starts with "ref :" and parse it as a symbolic ref. This is broken when parsing detached HEADs of a remote SHA256 repository because we never update `the_hash_algo` to the discovered remote object hash. Consequently, `the_hash_algo` will always be the fallback SHA1 hash algorithm, which will cause us to fail parsing HEAD altogteher when it contains a SHA256 object ID. Fix this issue by setting up `the_hash_algo` via `repo_set_hash_algo()`. While at it, let's make the expected SHA1 fallback explicit in our code, which also addresses an upcoming issue where we are going to remove the SHA1 fallback for `the_hash_algo`.

2023-12-12builtin/clone: create the refdb with the correct object formatPatrick Steinhardt
We're currently creating the reference database with a potentially incorrect object format when the remote repository's object format is different from the local default object format. This works just fine for now because the files backend never records the object format anywhere. But this logic will fail with any new reference backend that encodes this information in some form either on-disk or in-memory. The preceding commits have reshuffled code in git-clone(1) so that there is no code path that will access the reference database before we have detected the remote's object format. With these refactorings we can now defer initialization of the reference database until after we have learned the remote's object format and thus initialize it with the correct format from the get-go. These refactorings are required to make git-clone(1) work with the upcoming reftable backend when cloning repositories with the SHA256 object format. This change breaks a test in "t5550-http-fetch-dumb.sh" when cloning an empty repository with `GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_HASH=sha256`. The test expects the resulting hash format of the empty cloned repository to match the default hash, but now we always end up with a sha1 repository. The problem is that for dumb HTTP fetches, we have no easy way to figure out the remote's hash function except for deriving it based on the hash length of refs in `info/refs`. But as the remote repository is empty we cannot rely on this detection mechanism. Before the change in this commit we already initialized the repository with the default hash function and then left it as-is. With this patch we always use the hash function detected via the remote, where we fall back to "sha1" in case we cannot detect it. Neither the old nor the new behaviour are correct as we second-guess the remote hash function in both cases. But given that this is a rather unlikely edge case (we use the dumb HTTP protocol, the remote repository uses SHA256 and the remote repository is empty), let's simply adapt the test to assert the new behaviour. If we want to properly address this edge case in the future we will have to extend the dumb HTTP protocol so that we can properly detect the hash function for empty repositories.

2023-11-02tests: teach callers of test_i18ngrep to use test_grepJunio C Hamano
They are equivalents and the former still exists, so as long as the only change this commit makes are to rewrite test_i18ngrep to test_grep, there won't be any new bug, even if there still are callers of test_i18ngrep remaining in the tree, or when merged to other topics that add new uses of test_i18ngrep.

Git server end's ability to accept Accept-Language header was introduced in f18604bbf2 (http: add Accept-Language header if possible, 2015-01-28), but this is only used by very early phase of the transfer, which is HTTP GET request to discover references. For other phases, like POST request in the smart HTTP, the server does not know what language the client speaks. Teach git client to learn end-user's preferred language and throw accept-language header to the server side. Once the server gets this header, it has the ability to talk to end-user with language they understand. This would be very helpful for many non-English speakers.

The approach to "fsck" the incoming objects in "index-pack" is attractive for performance reasons (we have them already in core, inflated and ready to be inspected), but fundamentally cannot be applied fully when we receive more than one pack stream, as a tree object in one pack may refer to a blob object in another pack as ".gitmodules", when we want to inspect blobs that are used as ".gitmodules" file, for example. Teach "index-pack" to emit objects that must be inspected later and check them in the calling "fetch-pack" process. * jt/transfer-fsck-across-packs: fetch-pack: print and use dangling .gitmodules fetch-pack: with packfile URIs, use index-pack arg http-fetch: allow custom index-pack args http: allow custom index-pack args

To determine which test scripts to mark up, the first step was to force-set the default branch name to `master` in - all test scripts that contain the keyword `master`, - t4211, which expects `t/t4211/history.export` with a hard-coded ref to initialize the default branch, - t5560 because it sources `t/t556x_common` which uses `master`, - t8002 and t8012 because both source `t/annotate-tests.sh` which also uses `master`) This trick was performed by this command: $ sed -i '/^ *\. \.\/\(test-lib\|lib-\(bash\|cvs\|git-svn\)\|gitweb-lib\)\.sh$/i\ GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master\ export GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME\ ' $(git grep -l master t/t[0-9]*.sh) \ t/t4211*.sh t/t5560*.sh t/t8002*.sh t/t8012*.sh After that, careful, manual inspection revealed that some of the test scripts containing the needle `master` do not actually rely on a specific default branch name: either they mention `master` only in a comment, or they initialize that branch specificially, or they do not actually refer to the current default branch. Therefore, the aforementioned modification was undone in those test scripts thusly: $ git checkout HEAD -- \ t/t0027-auto-crlf.sh t/t0060-path-utils.sh \ t/t1011-read-tree-sparse-checkout.sh \ t/t1305-config-include.sh t/t1309-early-config.sh \ t/t1402-check-ref-format.sh t/t1450-fsck.sh \ t/t2024-checkout-dwim.sh \ t/t2106-update-index-assume-unchanged.sh \ t/t3040-subprojects-basic.sh t/t3301-notes.sh \ t/t3308-notes-merge.sh t/t3423-rebase-reword.sh \ t/t3436-rebase-more-options.sh \ t/t4015-diff-whitespace.sh t/t4257-am-interactive.sh \ t/t5323-pack-redundant.sh t/t5401-update-hooks.sh \ t/t5511-refspec.sh t/t5526-fetch-submodules.sh \ t/t5529-push-errors.sh t/t5530-upload-pack-error.sh \ t/t5548-push-porcelain.sh \ t/t5552-skipping-fetch-negotiator.sh \ t/t5572-pull-submodule.sh t/t5608-clone-2gb.sh \ t/t5614-clone-submodules-shallow.sh \ t/t7508-status.sh t/t7606-merge-custom.sh \ t/t9302-fast-import-unpack-limit.sh We excluded one set of test scripts in these commands, though: the range of `git p4` tests. The reason? `git p4` stores the (foreign) remote branch in the branch called `p4/master`, which is obviously not the default branch.

2020-06-19remote-curl: detect algorithm for dumb HTTP by sizebrian m. carlson
When reading the info/refs file for a repository, we have no explicit way to detect which hash algorithm is in use because the file doesn't provide one. Detect the hash algorithm in use by the size of the first object ID. If we have an empty repository, we don't know what the hash algorithm is on the remote side, so default to whatever the local side has configured. Without doing this, we cannot clone an empty repository since we don't know its hash algorithm. Test this case appropriately, since we currently have no tests for cloning an empty repository with the dumb HTTP protocol. We anonymize the URL like elsewhere in the function in case the user has decided to include a secret in the URL.

2020-04-19credential: treat URL with empty scheme as invalidJonathan Nieder
Until "credential: refuse to operate when missing host or protocol", Git's credential handling code interpreted URLs with empty scheme to mean "give me credentials matching this host for any protocol". Luckily libcurl does not recognize such URLs (it tries to look for a protocol named "" and fails). Just in case that changes, let's reject them within Git as well. This way, credential_from_url is guaranteed to always produce a "struct credential" with protocol and host set. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com>
2020-04-19credential: treat URL without scheme as invalidJonathan Nieder
libcurl permits making requests without a URL scheme specified. In this case, it guesses the URL from the hostname, so I can run git ls-remote http::ftp.example.com/path/to/repo and it would make an FTP request. Any user intentionally using such a URL is likely to have made a typo. Unfortunately, credential_from_url is not able to determine the host and protocol in order to determine appropriate credentials to send, and until "credential: refuse to operate when missing host or protocol", this resulted in another host's credentials being leaked to the named host. Teach credential_from_url_gently to consider such a URL to be invalid so that fsck can detect and block gitmodules files with such URLs, allowing server operators to avoid serving them to downstream users running older versions of Git. This also means that when such URLs are passed on the command line, Git will print a clearer error so affected users can switch to the simpler URL that explicitly specifies the host and protocol they intend. One subtlety: .gitmodules files can contain relative URLs, representing a URL relative to the URL they were cloned from. The relative URL resolver used for .gitmodules can follow ".." components out of the path part and past the host part of a URL, meaning that such a relative URL can be used to traverse from a https://foo.example.com/innocent superproject to a https::attacker.example.com/exploit submodule. Fortunately a leading ':' in the first path component after a series of leading './' and '../' components is unlikely to show up in other contexts, so we can catch this by detecting that pattern.

2019-03-24http: normalize curl results for dumb loose and alternates fetchesJeff King
If the dumb-http walker encounters a 404 when fetching a loose object, it then looks at any http-alternates for the object. The 404 check is implemented by missing_target(), which checks not only the http code, but also that we got an http error from the CURLcode. That broke when we stopped using CURLOPT_FAILONERROR in 17966c0a63 (http: avoid disconnecting on 404s for loose objects, 2016-07-11), since our CURLcode will now be CURLE_OK. As a result, fetching over dumb-http from a repository with alternates could result in Git printing "Unable to find abcd1234..." and aborting. We could probably fix this just by loosening missing_target(). However, there's other code which looks at the curl result, and it would have to be tweaked as well. Instead, let's just normalize the result the same way the smart-http code does. There's a similar case in processing the alternates (where we failover from "info/http-alternates" to "info/alternates"). We'll give it the same treatment. After this patch, we should be hitting all code paths that need this normalization (notably absent here is the http_pack_request path, but it does not use FAILONERROR, nor missing_target()).

This is a follow-up to a6c786fce8 (Mark http-fetch without -a as deprecated, 2011-08-23). For more than six years, we have been warning when `-a` is not provided, and the documentation has been saying that `-a` will become the default. It is a bit unclear what "default" means here. There is no such thing as `http-fetch --no-a`. But according to my searches, no-one has been asking on the mailing list how they should silence the warning and prepare for overriding the flipped default. So let's assume that everybody is happy with `-a`. They should be, since not using it may break the repo in such a way that Git itself is unable to fix it. Always behave as if `-a` was given. Since `-a` implies `-c` (get commit objects) and `-t` (get trees), all three options are now unnecessary. Document all of these as historical artefacts that have no effect. Leave no-op code for handling these options in http-fetch.c. The options-handling is currently rather loose. If someone tightens it, we will not want these ignored options to accidentally turn into hard errors. Since `-a` was the only safe and sane usage and we have been pushing people towards it for a long time, refrain from warning when it is used "unnecessarily" now. Similarly, do not add anything scary-looking to the man-page about how it will be removed in the future. We can always do so later.

2017-02-28http: attempt updating base URL only if no errorJonathan Tan
http.c supports HTTP redirects of the form http://foo/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack -> http://anything -> http://bar/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack (that is to say, as long as the Git part of the path and the query string is preserved in the final redirect destination, the intermediate steps can have any URL). However, if one of the intermediate steps results in an HTTP exception, a confusing "unable to update url base from redirection" message is printed instead of a Curl error message with the HTTP exception code. This was introduced by 2 commits. Commit c93c92f ("http: update base URLs when we see redirects", 2013-09-28) introduced a best-effort optimization that required checking if only the "base" part of the URL differed between the initial request and the final redirect destination, but it performed the check before any HTTP status checking was done. If something went wrong, the normal code path was still followed, so this did not cause any confusing error messages until commit 6628eb4 ("http: always update the base URL for redirects", 2016-12-06), which taught http to die if the non-"base" part of the URL differed. Therefore, teach http to check the HTTP status before attempting to check if only the "base" part of the URL differed. This commit teaches http_request_reauth to return early without updating options->base_url upon an error; the only invoker of this function that passes a non-NULL "options" is remote-curl.c (through "http_get_strbuf"), which only uses options->base_url for an informational message in the situations that this commit cares about (that is, when the return value is not HTTP_OK). The included test checks that the redirect scheme at the beginning of this commit message works, and that returning a 502 in the middle of the redirect scheme produces the correct result. Note that this is different from the test in commit 6628eb4 ("http: always update the base URL for redirects", 2016-12-06) in that this commit tests that a Git-shaped URL (http://.../info/refs?service=git-upload-pack) works, whereas commit 6628eb4 tests that a non-Git-shaped URL (http://.../info/refs/foo?service=git-upload-pack) does not work (even though Git is processing that URL) and is an error that is fatal, not silently swallowed.

2017-02-14remote helpers: avoid blind fall-back to ".git" when setting GIT_DIRJonathan Nieder
To push from or fetch to the current repository, remote helpers need to know what repository that is. Accordingly, Git sets the GIT_DIR environment variable to the path to the current repository when invoking remote helpers. There is a special case it does not handle: "git ls-remote" and "git archive --remote" can be run to inspect a remote repository without being run from any local repository. GIT_DIR is not useful in this scenario: - if we are not in a repository, we don't need to set GIT_DIR to override an existing GIT_DIR value from the environment. If GIT_DIR is present then we would be in a repository if it were valid and would have called die() if it weren't. - not setting GIT_DIR may cause a helper to do the usual discovery walk to find the repository. But we know we're not in one, or we would have found it ourselves. So in the worst case it may expend a little extra effort to try to find a repository and fail (for example, remote-curl would do this to try to find repository-level configuration). So leave GIT_DIR unset in this case. This makes GIT_DIR easier to understand for remote helper authors and makes transport code less of a special case for repository discovery.

2016-12-15http: respect protocol.*.allow=user for http-alternatesJeff King
The http-walker may fetch the http-alternates (or alternates) file from a remote in order to find more objects. This should count as a "not from the user" use of the protocol. But because we implement the redirection ourselves and feed the new URL to curl, it will use the CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS rules, not the more restrictive CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS. The ideal solution would be for each curl request we make to know whether or not is directly from the user or part of an alternates redirect, and then set CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS as appropriate. However, that would require plumbing that information through all of the various layers of the http code. Instead, let's check the protocol at the source: when we are parsing the remote http-alternates file. The only downside is that if there's any mismatch between what protocol we think it is versus what curl thinks it is, it could violate the policy. To address this, we'll make the parsing err on the picky side, and only allow protocols that it can parse definitively. So for example, you can't elude the "http" policy by asking for "HTTP://", even though curl might handle it; we would reject it as unknown. The only unsafe case would be if you have a URL that starts with "http://" but curl interprets as another protocol. That seems like an unlikely failure mode (and we are still protected by our base CURLOPT_PROTOCOL setting, so the worst you could do is trigger one of https, ftp, or ftps).

2016-12-06http: treat http-alternates like redirectsJeff King
The previous commit made HTTP redirects more obvious and tightened up the default behavior. However, there's another way for a server to ask a git client to fetch arbitrary content: by having an http-alternates file (or a regular alternates file, which is used as a backup). Similar to the HTTP redirect case, a malicious server can claim to have refs pointing at object X, return a 404 when the client asks for X, but point to some other URL via http-alternates, which the client will transparently fetch. The end result is that it looks from the user's perspective like the objects came from the malicious server, as the other URL is not mentioned at all. Worse, because we feed the new URL to curl ourselves, the usual protocol restrictions do not kick in (neither curl's default of disallowing file://, nor the protocol whitelisting in f4113cac0 (http: limit redirection to protocol-whitelist, 2015-09-22). Let's apply the same rules here as we do for HTTP redirects. Namely: - unless http.followRedirects is set to "always", we will not follow remote redirects from http-alternates (or alternates) at all - set CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS alongside CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS restrict ourselves to a known-safe set and respect any user-provided whitelist. - mention alternate object stores on stderr so that the user is aware another source of objects may be involved The first item may prove to be too restrictive. The most common use of alternates is to point to another path on the same server. While it's possible for a single-server redirect to be an attack, it takes a fairly obscure setup (victim and evil repository on the same host, host speaks dumb http, and evil repository has access to edit its own http-alternates file). So we could make the checks more specific, and only cover cross-server redirects. But that means parsing the URLs ourselves, rather than letting curl handle them. This patch goes for the simpler approach. Given that they are only used with dumb http, http-alternates are probably pretty rare. And there's an escape hatch: the user can allow redirects on a specific server by setting http.<url>.followRedirects to "always".

2016-12-06http: make redirects more obviousJeff King
We instruct curl to always follow HTTP redirects. This is convenient, but it creates opportunities for malicious servers to create confusing situations. For instance, imagine Alice is a git user with access to a private repository on Bob's server. Mallory runs her own server and wants to access objects from Bob's repository. Mallory may try a few tricks that involve asking Alice to clone from her, build on top, and then push the result: 1. Mallory may simply redirect all fetch requests to Bob's server. Git will transparently follow those redirects and fetch Bob's history, which Alice may believe she got from Mallory. The subsequent push seems like it is just feeding Mallory back her own objects, but is actually leaking Bob's objects. There is nothing in git's output to indicate that Bob's repository was involved at all. The downside (for Mallory) of this attack is that Alice will have received Bob's entire repository, and is likely to notice that when building on top of it. 2. If Mallory happens to know the sha1 of some object X in Bob's repository, she can instead build her own history that references that object. She then runs a dumb http server, and Alice's client will fetch each object individually. When it asks for X, Mallory redirects her to Bob's server. The end result is that Alice obtains objects from Bob, but they may be buried deep in history. Alice is less likely to notice. Both of these attacks are fairly hard to pull off. There's a social component in getting Mallory to convince Alice to work with her. Alice may be prompted for credentials in accessing Bob's repository (but not always, if she is using a credential helper that caches). Attack (1) requires a certain amount of obliviousness on Alice's part while making a new commit. Attack (2) requires that Mallory knows a sha1 in Bob's repository, that Bob's server supports dumb http, and that the object in question is loose on Bob's server. But we can probably make things a bit more obvious without any loss of functionality. This patch does two things to that end. First, when we encounter a whole-repo redirect during the initial ref discovery, we now inform the user on stderr, making attack (1) much more obvious. Second, the decision to follow redirects is now configurable. The truly paranoid can set the new http.followRedirects to false to avoid any redirection entirely. But for a more practical default, we will disallow redirects only after the initial ref discovery. This is enough to thwart attacks similar to (2), while still allowing the common use of redirects at the repository level. Since c93c92f30 (http: update base URLs when we see redirects, 2013-09-28) we re-root all further requests from the redirect destination, which should generally mean that no further redirection is necessary. As an escape hatch, in case there really is a server that needs to redirect individual requests, the user can set http.followRedirects to "true" (and this can be done on a per-server basis via http.*.followRedirects config).
