Patrick Steinhardt 2022b004 2018-02-28T12:06:59 curl: explicitly initialize and cleanup global curl state Our curl-based streams make use of the easy curl interface. This interface automatically initializes and de-initializes the global curl state by calling out to `curl_global_init` and `curl_global_cleanup`. Thus, all global state will be repeatedly re-initialized when creating multiple curl streams in succession. Despite being inefficient, this is not thread-safe due to `curl_global_init` being not thread-safe itself. Thus a multi-threaded programing handling multiple curl streams at the same time is inherently racy. Fix the issue by globally initializing and cleaning up curl's state.
Patrick Steinhardt 84f03b3a 2018-02-16T10:48:55 streams: openssl: fix use of uninitialized variable When verifying the server certificate, we do try to make sure that the hostname actually matches the certificate alternative names. In cases where the host is either an IPv4 or IPv6 address, we have to compare the binary representations of the hostname with the declared IP address of the certificate. We only do that comparison in case we were successfully able to parse the hostname as an IP, which would always result in the memory region being initialized. Still, GCC 6.4.0 was complaining about usage of non-initialized memory. Fix the issue by simply asserting that `addr` needs to be initialized. This shuts up the GCC warning.

Patrick Steinhardt ba56f781 2018-01-03T12:54:42 streams: openssl: fix thread-safety for OpenSSL error messages The function `ERR_error_string` can be invoked without providing a buffer, in which case OpenSSL will simply return a string printed into a static buffer. Obviously and as documented in ERR_error_string(3), this is not thread-safe at all. As libgit2 is a library, though, it is easily possible that other threads may be using OpenSSL at the same time, which might lead to clobbered error strings. Fix the issue by instead using a stack-allocated buffer. According to the documentation, the caller has to provide a buffer of at least 256 bytes of size. While we do so, make sure that the buffer will never get overflown by switching to `ERR_error_string_n` to specify the buffer's size.
Etienne Samson 8be2a790 2017-12-05T23:21:05 openssl: free the peer certificate Per SSL_get_peer_certificate docs: ``` The reference count of the X509 object is incremented by one, so that it will not be destroyed when the session containing the peer certificate is freed. The X509 object must be explicitly freed using X509_free(). ```

Patrick Steinhardt 2d2e70f8 2017-11-30T18:10:28 openssl: fix thread-safety on non-glibc POSIX systems While the OpenSSL library provides all means to work safely in a multi-threaded application, we fail to do so correctly. Quoting from crypto_lock(3): OpenSSL can safely be used in multi-threaded applications provided that at least two callback functions are set, locking_function and threadid_func. We do in fact provide the means to set up the locking function via `git_openssl_set_locking()`, where we initialize a set of locks by using the POSIX threads API and set the correct callback function to lock and unlock them. But what we do not do is setting the `threadid_func` callback. This function is being used to correctly locate thread-local data of the OpenSSL library and should thus return per-thread identifiers. Digging deeper into OpenSSL's documentation, the library does provide a fallback in case that locking function is not provided by the user. On Windows and BeOS we should be safe, as it simply "uses the system's default thread identifying API". On other platforms though OpenSSL will fall back to using the address of `errno`, assuming it is thread-local. While this assumption holds true for glibc-based systems, POSIX in fact does not specify whether it is thread-local or not. Quoting from errno(3p): It is unspecified whether errno is a macro or an identifier declared with external linkage. And in fact, with musl there is at least one libc implementation which simply declares `errno` as a simple `int` without being thread-local. On those systems, the fallback threadid function of OpenSSL will not be thread-safe. Fix this by setting up our own callback for this setting. As users of libgit2 may want to set it themselves, we obviously cannot always set that function on initialization. But as we already set up primitives for threading in `git_openssl_set_locking()`, this function becomes the obvious choice where to implement the additional setup.
