Patrick Steinhardt 8cbef12d 2019-08-08T11:52:54 util: do not perform allocations in insertsort Our hand-rolled fallback sorting function `git__insertsort_r` does an in-place sort of the given array. As elements may not necessarily be pointers, it needs a way of swapping two values of arbitrary size, which is currently implemented by allocating a temporary buffer of the element's size. This is problematic, though, as the emulated `qsort` interface doesn't provide any return values and thus cannot signal an error if allocation of that temporary buffer has failed. Convert the function to swap via a temporary buffer allocated on the stack. Like this, it can `memcpy` contents of both elements in small batches without requiring a heap allocation. The buffer size has been chosen such that in most cases, a single iteration of copying will suffice. Most importantly, it can fully contain `git_oid` structures and pointers. Add a bunch of tests for the `git__qsort_r` interface to verify nothing breaks. Furthermore, this removes the declaration of `git__insertsort_r` and makes it static as it is not used anywhere else.
Patrick Steinhardt d4fe402b 2019-08-08T10:36:33 merge: check return value of `git_commit_list_insert` The function `git_commit_list_insert` dynamically allocates memory and may thus fail to insert a given commit, but we didn't check for that in several places in "merge.c". Convert surrounding functions to return error codes and check whether `git_commit_list_insert` was successful, returning an error if not.
Patrick Steinhardt c0486188 2019-08-08T10:28:09 blame_git: detect memory allocation errors The code in "blame_git.c" was mostly imported from git.git with only minor changes. One of these changes was to use our own allocators instead of git's `xmalloc`, but there's a subtle difference: `xmalloc` would abort the program if unable to allocate any memory, bit `git__malloc` doesn't. As we didn't check for memory allocation errors in some places, we might inadvertently dereference a `NULL` pointer in out-of-memory situations. Convert multiple functions to return proper error codes and add calls to `GIT_ERROR_CHECK_ALLOC` to fix this.
Patrick Steinhardt f3b3e543 2019-08-08T11:34:01 xdiff: catch memory allocation errors The xdiff code contains multiple call sites where the results of `xdl_malloc` are not being checked for memory allocation errors. Add checks to fix possible segfaults due to `NULL` pointer accesses.
Patrick Steinhardt c2dd895a 2019-08-08T10:47:29 transports: http: check for memory allocation failures When allocating a chunk that is used to write to HTTP streams, we do not check for memory allocation errors. This may lead us to write to a `NULL` pointer and thus cause a segfault. Fix this by adding a call to `GIT_ERROR_CHECK_ALLOC`.
Patrick Steinhardt 08699541 2019-08-08T10:46:42 trailer: check for memory allocation errors The "trailer.c" code has been copied mostly verbatim from git.git with minor adjustments, only. As git.git's `xmalloc` function, which aborts on memory allocation errors, has been swapped out for `git_malloc`, which doesn't abort, we may inadvertently access `NULL` pointers. Add checks to fix this.
Patrick Steinhardt 8c7d9761 2019-08-08T10:45:12 posix: fix direct use of `malloc` In "posix.c" there are multiple callsites which execute `malloc` instead of `git__malloc`. Thus, users of library are not able to track these allocations with a custom allocator. Convert these call sites to use `git__malloc` instead.
Patrick Steinhardt a477bff1 2019-08-08T10:44:57 indexer: catch OOM when adding expected OIDs When adding OIDs to the indexer's map of yet-to-be-seen OIDs to verify that packfiles are complete, we do so by first allocating a new OID and then calling `git_oidmap_set` on it. There was no check for memory allocation errors in place, though, leading to possible segfaults due to trying to copy data to a `NULL` pointer. Verify the result of `git__malloc` with `GIT_ERROR_CHECK_ALLOC` to fix the issue.
Max Kostyukevich dceedbb8 2019-08-21T15:03:50 apply: Test for git_apply_to_tree failures when new files are added Introduce an unit test to validate if git_apply_to_tree() fails when an applied patch adds new files.
Max Kostyukevich de4bc2bd 2019-08-20T03:29:45 apply: git_apply_to_tree fails to apply patches that add new files git_apply_to_tree() cannot be used apply patches with new files. An attempt to apply such a patch fails because git_apply_to_tree() tries to remove a non-existing file from an old index. The solution is to modify git_apply_to_tree() to git_index_remove() when the patch states that the modified files is removed.

Patrick Steinhardt 57a9ccd5 2019-06-21T15:53:54 commit_list: fix possible buffer overflow in `commit_quick_parse` The function `commit_quick_parse` provides a way to quickly parse parts of a commit without storing or verifying most of its metadata. The first thing it does is calculating the number of parents by skipping "parent " lines until it finds the first non-parent line. Afterwards, this parent count is passed to `alloc_parents`, which will allocate an array to store all the parent. To calculate the amount of storage required for the parents array, `alloc_parents` simply multiplicates the number of parents with the respective elements's size. This already screams "buffer overflow", and in fact this problem is getting worse by the result being cast to an `uint32_t`. In fact, triggering this is possible: git-hash-object(1) will happily write a commit with multiple millions of parents for you. I've stopped at 67,108,864 parents as git-hash-object(1) unfortunately soaks up the complete object without streaming anything to disk and thus will cause an OOM situation at a later point. The point here is: this commit was about 4.1GB of size but compressed down to 24MB and thus easy to distribute. The above doesn't yet trigger the buffer overflow, thus. As the array's elements are all pointers which are 8 bytes on 64 bit, we need a total of 536,870,912 parents to trigger the overflow to `0`. The effect is that we're now underallocating the array and do an out-of-bound writes. As the buffer is kindly provided by the adversary, this may easily result in code execution. Extrapolating from the test file with 67m commits to the one with 536m commits results in a factor of 8. Thus the uncompressed contents would be about 32GB in size and the compressed ones 192MB. While still easily distributable via the network, only servers will have that amount of RAM and not cause an out-of-memory condition previous to triggering the overflow. This at least makes this attack not an easy vector for client-side use of libgit2.
Johannes Schindelin cb1439c9 2019-06-19T12:59:27 config: validate ownership of C:\ProgramData\Git\config before using it When the VirtualStore feature is in effect, it is safe to let random users write into C:\ProgramData because other users won't see those files. This seemed to be the case when we introduced support for C:\ProgramData\Git\config. However, when that feature is not in effect (which seems to be the case in newer Windows 10 versions), we'd rather not use those files unless they come from a trusted source, such as an administrator. This change imitates the strategy chosen by PowerShell's native OpenSSH port to Windows regarding host key files: if a system file is owned neither by an administrator, a system account, or the current user, it is ignored.

Patrick Steinhardt e23c0b18 2019-08-02T07:52:58 remote: remove unused block of code In "remote.c", we have a chunk of code that is #ifdef'fed out via `#if 0` with a comment that we could export it as a helper function. The code was implemented in 2013 and ifdef'fed in 2014, which shows that there's clearly no interest in having such a helper at all. As this block has recently created some confusion about `p_getenv` due to it containing the only reference to that function in our codebase, let's remove this block altogether.

Patrick Steinhardt 1721ab04 2019-06-16T11:25:47 unix: posix: avoid use of variadic macro `p_snprintf` The macro `p_snprintf` is implemented as a variadic macro that calls `snprintf` directly with `__VA_ARGS__`. In C89, variadic macros are not allowed, but as the arguments of `p_snprintf` and `snprintf` are matching 1:1, we can fix this by simply removing the parameter list from `p_snprintf`.
Patrick Steinhardt 63d8cd18 2019-06-16T11:17:17 apply: remove use of variadic error macro The macro `apply_err` is implemented as a variadic macro, which are not defined by C89. Convert it to a variadic function, instead.
Patrick Steinhardt 27b8b31e 2019-08-01T11:57:03 parse: remove use of variadic macros which are not C89 compliant The macro `git_parse_error` is implemented in a variadic way so that it's possible to pass printf-style parameters. Unfortunately, variadic macros are not defined by C89 and thus we cannot use that functionality. But as we have implemented `git_error_vset` in the previous commit, we can now just use that instead. Convert `git_parse_error` to a variadic function and use `git_error_vset` to fix the compliance violation. While at it, move the function to "patch_parse.c".
Patrick Steinhardt c8e63812 2019-06-16T11:03:08 errors: introduce `git_error_vset` function Right now, we only provide a `git_error_set` that has a variadic function signature. It's impossible to drive this function in a C89-compliant way from other functions that have a variadic signature, though, like for example `git_parse_error`. Implement a new `git_error_vset` function that gets a `va_list` as parameter, fixing the above problem.

Patrick Steinhardt 37ebe9ad 2019-07-24T18:49:08 config_backend: rename internal structures The internal backend structures are kind-of legacy and do not really speak for themselves. Rename them accordingly to make them easier to understand.
Patrick Steinhardt 2bff84ba 2019-07-26T21:02:56 config_file: separate out read-only backend To further distinguish the file writeable and readonly backends, separate the readonly backend into its own "config_snapshot.c" implementation. The snapshot backend can be generically used to snapshot any type of backend.
Patrick Steinhardt f0b10066 2019-07-24T18:37:14 config_file: fix cast of readonly backend In `backend_readonly_free`, the passed in config backend is being cast to a `diskfile_backend` instead of to a `diskfile_readonly_backend`. While this works out just fine because we only access its header values, which were shared between both backends, it is undefined behaviour. Use the correct type to fix this.
Patrick Steinhardt a3159df8 2019-07-24T18:31:43 config_file: remove shared `diskfile_header` struct The `diskfile_header` structure is shared between both `diskfile_backend` and `diskfile_readonly_backend`. The separation and resulting casting is confusing at times and a source for programming errors. Remove the shared structure and inline them directly.
Patrick Steinhardt 271e5fba 2019-07-24T18:18:18 config_file: duplicate accessors for readonly backend While most functions of the readonly configuration backend are implemented separately from the writeable configuration backend, the two functions `config_iterator_new` and `config_get` are shared between both. This sharing makes it necessary to have some shared data structures, which is the `diskfile_header` structure. Unfortunately, this makes the backends harder to grasp than necessary due to all the casting between structs and also quite error prone. Reimplement those functions for the readonly backends. As readonly backends cannot be refreshed anyway, we can remove the calls to `config_refresh` in there.
Patrick Steinhardt 4e7ce1fb 2019-07-24T18:13:52 config_file: reimplement `config_readonly_open` generically The `config_readonly_open` function currently receives as input a diskfile backend and will copy its entries to a new snapshot. This is rather intimate, as we need to assume that the source config backend is in fact a diskfile entry. We can do better than this though by using generic methods to copy contents of the provided backend, e.g. by using a config iterator. This also allows us to decouple the read-only backend from the read-write backend.
Patrick Steinhardt 76182e84 2019-07-24T18:04:38 config_entries: fix possible segfault when duplicating entries When duplicating a configuration entry, we allocate a new entry but do not verify that we get a valid pointer back. As we're dereferencing the pointer afterwards, we might thus run into a segfault in out-of-memory situations. Extract a new function `git_config_entries_dup_entry` that handles the complete entry duplication. Fix the error by using `GIT_ERROR_CHECK_ALLOC`.

This bug also impacted `git_remote_list`, which thus failed to provide an up-to-date list of remotes. Add a test suite remote::list with a single test that verifies we do the right thing.
Patrick Steinhardt 2766b92d 2019-07-21T15:10:34 config_file: refresh when creating an iterator When creating a new iterator for a config file backend, then we should always make sure that we're up to date by calling `config_refresh`. Otherwise, we might not notice when another process has modified the configuration file and thus will represent outdated values. Add two tests to config::stress that verify that we get up-to-date values when reading configuration entries via `git_config_iterator`.
Patrick Steinhardt 9fac8b78 2019-07-21T15:08:22 config_file: do not refresh read-only backends If calling `config_refresh` on a read-only configuration file backend, then we will segfault when comparing the timestamp of the file due to `path` being uninitialized. As a read-only snapshot should not be refreshed anyway and stay consistent, we can simply return early when calling `config_refresh` on a read-only snapshot.

Patrick Steinhardt 6be5ac23 2019-07-11T15:30:51 checkout: postpone creation of symlinks to the end On most platforms it's fine to create symlinks to nonexisting files. Not so on Windows, where the type of a symlink (file or directory) needs to be set at creation time. So depending on whether the target file exists or not, we may end up with different symlink types. This creates a problem when performing checkouts, where we simply iterate over all blobs that need to be updated without treating symlinks any special. If the target file of the symlink is going to be checked out after the symlink itself, then the symlink will be created as directory symlink and not as file symlink. Fix the issue by iterating over blobs twice: once to perform postponed deletions and updates to non-symlink blobs, and once to perform updates to symlink blobs.
Patrick Steinhardt 50194dcd 2019-07-11T15:14:42 win32: fix symlinks to relative file targets When creating a symlink in Windows, one needs to tell Windows whether the symlink should be a file or directory symlink. To determine which flag to pass, we call `GetFileAttributesW` on the target file to see whether it is a directory and then pass the flag accordingly. The problem though is if create a symlink with a relative target path, then we will check that relative path while not necessarily being inside of the working directory where the symlink is to be created. Thus, getting its attributes will either fail or return attributes of the wrong target. Fix this by resolving the target path relative to the directory in which the symlink is to be created.
Patrick Steinhardt 93d37a1d 2019-06-29T09:59:36 tests: core: improve symlink test coverage Add two more tests to verify that we're not deleting symlink targets, but the symlinks themselves. Furthermore, convert several `cl_skip`s on Win32 to conditional skips depending on whether the clar sandbox supports symlinks or not. Windows is grown up now and may allow unprivileged symlinks if the machine has been configured accordingly.
Patrick Steinhardt 683ea2b0 2019-06-29T09:10:57 tests: core: add missing asserts for several function calls Several function calls to `p_stat` and `p_close` have no verification if they actually succeeded. As these functions _may_ fail and as we also want to make sure that we're not doing anything dumb, let's check them, too.
Patrick Steinhardt a00842c4 2019-06-29T09:59:14 win32: correctly unlink symlinks to directories When deleting a symlink on Windows, then the way to delete it depends on whether it is a directory symlink or a file symlink. In the first case, we need to use `DeleteFile`, in the second `RemoveDirectory`. Right now, `p_unlink` will only ever try to use `DeleteFile`, though, and thus fail to remove directory symlinks. This mismatches how unlink(3P) is expected to behave, though, as it shall remove any symlink disregarding whether it is a file or directory symlink. In order to correctly unlink a symlink, we thus need to check what kind of file this is. If we were to first query file attributes of every file upon calling `p_unlink`, then this would penalize the common case though. Instead, we can try to first delete the file with `DeleteFile` and only if the error returned is `ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED` will we query file attributes and determine whether it is a directory symlink to use `RemoveDirectory` instead.
Patrick Steinhardt ded77bb1 2019-06-29T09:58:34 path: extract function to check whether a path supports symlinks When initializing a repository, we need to check whether its working directory supports symlinks to correctly set the initial value of the "core.symlinks" config variable. The code to check the filesystem is reusable in other parts of our codebase, like for example in our tests to determine whether certain tests can be expected to succeed or not. Extract the code into a new function `git_path_supports_symlinks` to avoid duplicate implementations. Remove a duplicate implementation in the repo test helper code.
Patrick Steinhardt e54343a4 2019-06-29T09:17:32 fileops: rename to "futils.h" to match function signatures Our file utils functions all have a "futils" prefix, e.g. `git_futils_touch`. One would thus naturally guess that their definitions and implementation would live in files "futils.h" and "futils.c", respectively, but in fact they live in "fileops.h". Rename the files to match expectations.
Patrick Steinhardt a7d32d60 2019-07-20T18:46:32 stash: avoid recomputing tree when committing worktree When creating a new stash, we need to create there separate commits storing differences stored in the index, untracked changes as well as differences in the working directory. The first two will only be done conditionally if the equivalent options "git stash --keep-index --include-untracked" are being passed to `git_stash_save`, but even when only creating a stash of worktree changes we're much slower than git.git. Using our new stash example: $ time git stash Saved working directory and index state WIP on (no branch): 2f7d9d47575e Linux 5.1.7 real 0m0.528s user 0m0.309s sys 0m0.381s $ time lg2 stash real 0m27.165s user 0m13.645s sys 0m6.403s As can be seen, libgit2 is more than 50x slower than git.git! When creating the stash commit that includes all worktree changes, we create a completely new index to prepare for the new commit and populate it with the entries contained in the index' tree. Here comes the catch: by populating the index with a tree's contents, we do not have any stat caches in the index. This means that we have to re-validate every single file from the worktree and see whether it has changed. The issue can be fixed by populating the new index with the repo's existing index instead of with the tree. This retains all stat cache information, and thus we really only need to check files that have changed stat information. This is semantically equivalent to what we previously did: previously, we used the tree of the commit computed from the index. Now we're just using the index directly. And, in fact, the cache is doing wonders: time lg2 stash real 0m1.836s user 0m1.166s sys 0m0.663s We're now performing 15x faster than before and are only 3x slower than git.git now.
Patrick Steinhardt 88731e3c 2019-06-14T12:34:37 examples: implement git-stash example Implement a new example that resembles the git-stash(1) command. Right now, it only provides the apply, list, save and pop subcommands without any options. This example is mostly used to test libgit2's stashing performance on big repositories.
