Printing unsanitized URLs when asking for credentials made the
user susceptible to crafted URLs (e.g. in recursive clones) that
mislead the user into typing in passwords for trusted sites that
would then be sent to untrusted sites instead.
- CVE-2024-52006
Git may pass on Carriage Returns via the credential protocol to
credential helpers which use line-reading functions that
interpret said Carriage Returns as line endings, even though Git
did not intend that.
Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
credential: disallow Carriage Returns in the protocol by default
While Git has documented that the credential protocol is line-based,
with newlines as terminators, the exact shape of a newline has not been
documented.
From Git's perspective, which is firmly rooted in the Linux ecosystem,
it is clear that "a newline" means a Line Feed character.
However, even Git's credential protocol respects Windows line endings
(a Carriage Return character followed by a Line Feed character, "CR/LF")
by virtue of using `strbuf_getline()`.
There is a third category of line endings that has been used originally
by MacOS, and that is respected by the default line readers of .NET and
node.js: bare Carriage Returns.
Git cannot handle those, and what is worse: Git's remedy against
CVE-2020-5260 does not catch when credential helpers are used that
interpret bare Carriage Returns as newlines.
Git Credential Manager addressed this as CVE-2024-50338, but other
credential helpers may still be vulnerable. So let's not only disallow
Line Feed characters as part of the values in the credential protocol,
but also disallow Carriage Return characters.
In the unlikely event that a credential helper relies on Carriage
Returns in the protocol, introduce an escape hatch via the
`credential.protectProtocol` config setting.
This addresses CVE-2024-52006.

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.

An upcoming change wants to sanitize the credential password prompt
where a URL is displayed that may potentially come from a `.gitmodules`
file. To this end, the `credential_format()` function is employed.
To sanitize the host name (and optional port) part of the URL, we need a
new mode of the `strbuf_add_percentencode()` function because the
current mode is both too strict and too lenient: too strict because it
encodes `:`, `[` and `]` (which should be left unencoded in
`<host>:<port>` and in IPv6 addresses), and too lenient because it does
not encode invalid host name characters `/`, `_` and `~`.
So let's introduce and use a new mode specifically to encode the host
name and optional port part of a URI, leaving alpha-numerical
characters, periods, colons and brackets alone and encoding all others.
This only leads to a change of behavior for URLs that contain invalid
host names.

t7300: work around platform-specific behaviour with long paths on MinGW
Windows by default has a restriction in place to only allow paths up to
260 characters. This restriction can nowadays be lifted by setting a
registry key, but is still active by default.
In t7300 we have one test that exercises the behaviour of git-clean(1)
with such long paths. Interestingly enough, this test fails on my system
that uses Windows 10 with mingw-w64 installed via MSYS2: instead of
observing ENAMETOOLONG, we observe ENOENT. This behaviour is consistent
across multiple different environments I have tried.
I cannot say why exactly we observe a different error here, but I would
not be surprised if this was either dependent on the Windows version,
the version of MinGW, the current working directory of Git or any kind
of combination of these.
Work around the issue by handling both errors.

In the preceding commits we had to convert the linux32 job to be based

Workflows. This was the only job left that still tested against this old
but supported Ubuntu version, and we have no other jobs that test with a
comparatively old Linux distribution.
Add a new job to GitLab CI that tests with Ubuntu 16.04 to cover the
resulting test gap. GitLab doesn't modify Docker images in the same way
GitHub does and thus doesn't fall prey to the same issue. There are two
compatibility issues uncovered by this:
- Ubuntu 16.04 does not support HTTP/2 in Apache. We thus cannot set
`GIT_TEST_HTTPD=true`, which would otherwise cause us to fail when
Apache fails to start.
- Ubuntu 16.04 cannot use recent JGit versions as they depend on a
more recent Java runtime than we have available. We thus disable
installing any kind of optional dependencies that do not come from
the package manager.
These two restrictions are fine though, as we only really care about
whether Git compiles and runs on such old distributions in the first
place.

ci: use regular action versions for linux32 job
The linux32 job runs inside a docker container with a 32-bit libc, etc.
This breaks any GitHub Actions scripts that are implemented in
javascript, because they ship with their own 64-bit version of Node.js
that's dynamically linked. They'll fail with a message like:
exec /__e/node20/bin/node: no such file or directory
because they can't find the runtime linker.
This hasn't been a problem until recently because we special-case older,
non-javascript versions of these actions for the linux32 job. But it
recently became an issue when our old version of actions/upload-artifact
was deprecated, causing the job to fail. We worked around that in 90f2c7240c (ci: remove 'Upload failed tests' directories' step from
linux32 jobs, 2024-09-09), but it meant a loss of functionality for that
job. And we may eventually run into the same deprecation problem with
actions/checkout, which can't just be removed.
We can solve the linking issue by installing the 64-bit libc and stdc++
packages before doing anything else. Coupled with the switch to a more
recent image in the previous patch, that lets us remove the
special-casing of the action scripts entirely.

The Xenial image we're using was released more than 8 years ago. This is

Node.js 20, and all of the binaries they ship need glibc 2.28 or later.
We're not using them yet, but moving forward prepares us for a future
patch which will.
Xenial was actually the last official 32-bit Ubuntu release, but you can
still find i386 images for more recent releases. This patch uses Focal,
which was released in 2020 (and is the oldest one with glibc 2.28).
There are two small downsides here:
- while Xenial is pretty old, it is still in LTS support until April
2026. So there's probably some value in testing with such an old
system, and we're losing that.
- there are no i386 subversion packages in the Focal repository. So we
won't be able to test that (OTOH, we had never tested it until the
previous patch which unified the 32/64-bit dependency code).

ci: unify ubuntu and ubuntu32 dependencies
The script to install dependencies has two separate entries for 32-bit
and 64-bit Ubuntu systems. This increases the maintenance burden since
both should need roughly the same packages.
That hasn't been too bad so far because we've stayed on the same 32-bit
image since 2017. Trying to move to a newer image revealed several
problems with the linux32 job:
- newer images complain about using "linux32 --32bit i386", due to
seccomp restrictions. We can loosen these with a docker option, but
I don't think running it is even doing anything. We use it only for
pretending to "apt" that we're on a 32-bit machine, but inside the
container image apt is already configured as a 32-bit system (even
though the kernel outside the container is obviously 64-bit). Using
the same apt invocation for both architectures just gets rid of this
call entirely.
- we set DEBIAN_FRONTEND to avoid hanging on packages that ask the
user questions. This wasn't a problem on the old image, but it is on
newer ones. The 64-bit stanza handles this already.
As a bonus, the 64-bit stanza uses "apt -q" instead of redirecting
output to /dev/null. This would have saved me a lot of debugging
time trying to figure out why it was hanging. :)
- the old image seems to have zlib-dev installed by default, but newer
ones do not.
In addition, there were probably many tests being skipped on the 32-bit
build because we didn't have support packages installed (e.g., gpg). Now
we'll run them.
We do need to keep some parts split off just for 64-bit systems: our p4
and lfs installs reference x86_64/amd64 binaries. The downloaded jgit
should work in theory, since it's just a jar file embedded in a shell
script that relies on the system java. But the system java in our image
is too old, so I've left it as 64-bit only for now.

config.mak.uname: add HAVE_DEV_TTY to cygwin config section
If neither HAVE_DEV_TTY nor GIT_WINDOWS_NATIVE is set, while compiling
the 'compat/terminal.c' code, then the fallback code calls the system
getpass() function. Unfortunately, this ignores the 'echo' parameter of
the git_terminal_prompt() function, since it has no way to implement that
functionality. This results in a less than optimal user experience on
cygwin, which does not define either of those build flags.
However, cygwin does have a functional '/dev/tty', so that it can build
with HAVE_DEV_TTY and benefit from the improved user experience.
The improved git_terminal_prompt() function that comes with HAVE_DEV_TTY
is used in the git_prompt() function, which in turn is used by the
'git credential', 'git bisect' and 'git help' commands. In addition to
git_terminal_prompt(), read_key_without_echo() is likewise improved and
used by the 'git add -p' command.
While using the 'git credential fill' command, for example:
$ printf "%s\n" protocol=https host=example.com path=git | ./git credential fill
Username for 'https://example.com': user
Password for 'https://user@example.com':
protocol=https
host=example.com
username=user
password=pass
$
The 'user' name is now echoed while typing (the password isn't), where this
wasn't the case before.
When using the auto-correct feature:
$ ./git -c help.autocorrect=prompt fred

$ ./git -c help.autocorrect=prompt fred
WARNING: You called a Git command named 'fred', which does not exist.

The user can actually see what they are typing at the prompt. Similar
comments apply to 'git bisect':
$ ./git bisect bad master~1

$ ./git bisect next

$ ./git bisect reset

$
The read_key_without_echo() function leads to a much improved 'git add -p'
command, when the 'interactive.singleKey' configuration is set:
$ cd ..
$ mkdir test-git
$ cd test-git
$ git init -q
$ echo foo >file
$ git add file
$ echo bar >file
$ ../git/git -c interactive.singleKey=true add -p

Note that, not only is the user input echoed, but that it is immediately
accepted (without having to type <return>) and the program exits with the
hunk staged (in this case) or not.

diff: report dirty submodules as changes in builtin_diff()
The diff machinery has two ways to detect changes to set the exit code:

interpret-trailers: handle message without trailing newline
When git-interpret-trailers is used to add a trailer to a message that
does not end in a trailing newline, the new trailer is added on the line
immediately following the message instead of as a trailer block
separated from the message by a blank line.
For example, if a message's text was exactly "The subject" with no
trailing newline present, `git interpret-trailers --trailer
my-trailer=true` will result in the following malformed commit message:
The subject
my-trailer: true
While it is generally expected that a commit message should end with a
newline character, git-interpret-trailers should not be returning an
invalid message in this case.
Use `strbuf_complete_line` to ensure that the message ends with a
newline character when reading the input.

builtin/index-pack: fix segfaults when running outside of a repo
It was reported that git-verify-pack(1) has started to crash with Git
v2.46.0 when run outside of a repository. This is another fallout from c8aed5e8da (repository: stop setting SHA1 as the default object hash,
2024-05-07), where we have stopped setting the default hash algorithm
for `the_repository`. Consequently, code that relies on `the_hash_algo`
will now crash when it hasn't explicitly been initialized, which may be
the case when running outside of a Git repository.
The crash is not in git-verify-pack(1) but instead in git-index-pack(1),
which gets called by the former. Ideally, both of these programs should
be able to identify the hash algorithm used by the packfile and index
without having to rely on external information. But unfortunately, the
format for neither of them is completely self-describing, so it is not
possible to derive that information. This is a design issue that we
should address by introducing a new packfile version that encodes its
object hash.
For now though the more important fix is to not make either of these
programs crash anymore, which we do by falling back to SHA1 when the
object hash is unconfigured. This pessimizes reading packfiles which
use a different hash than SHA1, but restores previous behaviour.

But we still have to keep the unused parameter, since our interface

revision: free commit buffers for skipped commits
In git-log we leave the save_commit_buffer flag set to "1", which tells
the commit parsing code to store the object content after it has parsed
it to find parents, tree, etc. That lets us reuse the contents for
pretty-printing the commit in the output. And then after printing each
commit, we call free_commit_buffer(), since we don't need it anymore.
But some options may cause us to traverse commits which are not part of
the output. And so git-log does not see them at all, and doesn't free
them. One such case is something like:
which will churn through a million commits, before showing only a
thousand. We loop through these inside get_revision(), without freeing
the contents. As a result, we end up storing the object data for those
million commits simultaneously.
We should free the stored buffers (if any) for those commits as we skip
over them, which is what this patch does. Running the above command in
linux.git drops the peak heap usage from ~1.1GB to ~200MB, according to
valgrind/massif. (I thought we might get an even bigger improvement, but
the remaining memory is going to commit/tree structs, which we do hold
on to forever).
Note that this problem doesn't occur if:
- you're running a git-rev-list without a --format parameter; it turns
off save_commit_buffer by default, since it only output the object
id
- you've built a commit-graph file, since in that case we'd use the
optimized graph data instead of the initial parse, and then do a
lazy parse for commits we're actually going to output
There are probably some other option combinations that can likewise
end up with useless stored commit buffers. For example, if you ask for
"foo..bar", then we'll have to walk down to the merge base, and
everything on the "foo" side won't be shown. Tuning the "save" behavior
to handle that might be tricky (I guess maybe drop buffers for anything
we mark as UNINTERESTING?). And in the long run, the right solution here
is probably to make sure the commit-graph is built (since it fixes the
memory problem _and_ drastically reduces CPU usage).
But since this "--skip" case is an easy one-liner, it's worth fixing in
the meantime. It should be OK to make this call even if there is no
saved buffer (e.g., because save_commit_buffer=0, or because a
commit-graph was used), since it's O(1) to look up the buffer and is a
noop if it isn't present. I verified by running the above command after
"git commit-graph write --reachable", and it takes the same time with
and without this patch.
