submodule: reject submodule.update = !command in .gitmodules
Since ac1fbbda2013 (submodule: do not copy unknown update mode from
.gitmodules, 2013-12-02), Git has been careful to avoid copying
[submodule "foo"]
update = !run an arbitrary scary command
from .gitmodules to a repository's local config, copying in the
setting 'update = none' instead. The gitmodules(5) manpage documents
the intention:
The !command form is intentionally ignored here for security
reasons
Unfortunately, starting with v2.20.0-rc0 (which integrated ee69b2a9
(submodule--helper: introduce new update-module-mode helper,
2018-08-13, first released in v2.20.0-rc0)), there are scenarios where
we *don't* ignore it: if the config store contains no
submodule.foo.update setting, the submodule-config API falls back to
reading .gitmodules and the repository-supplied !command gets run
after all.
This was part of a general change over time in submodule support to
read more directly from .gitmodules, since unlike .git/config it
allows a project to change values between branches and over time
(while still allowing .git/config to override things). But it was
never intended to apply to this kind of dangerous configuration.
The behavior change was not advertised in ee69b2a9's commit message
and was missed in review.
Let's take the opportunity to make the protection more robust, even in
Git versions that are technically not affected: instead of quietly
converting 'update = !command' to 'update = none', noisily treat it as
an error. Allowing the setting but treating it as meaning something
else was just confusing; users are better served by seeing the error
sooner. Forbidding the construct makes the semantics simpler and
means we can check for it in fsck (in a separate patch).
As a result, the submodule-config API cannot read this value from
.gitmodules under any circumstance, and we can declare with confidence
For security reasons, the '!command' form is not accepted
here.

While the only permitted drive letters for physical drives on Windows
are letters of the US-English alphabet, this restriction does not apply

To prevent targeted attacks against systems where "funny" drive letters

letters on Windows.

This patch fixes a vulnerability in the Windows-specific code where a

bug could be abused to insert command-line parameters e.g. to `ssh` in a

already-split command line.

This patch series makes it safe to use Git on Windows drives, even if

This topic branch addresses CVE-2019-1353.
Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
Over a decade ago, in 25fe217b86c (Windows: Treat Windows style path
names., 2008-03-05), Git was taught to handle absolute Windows paths,
i.e. paths that start with a drive letter and a colon.
Unbeknownst to us, while drive letters of physical drives are limited to
letters of the English alphabet, there is a way to assign virtual drive
letters to arbitrary directories, via the `subst` command, which is
_not_ limited to English letters.
It is therefore possible to have absolute Windows paths of the form
`1:\what\the\hex.txt`. Even "better": pretty much arbitrary Unicode
letters can also be used, e.g. `ä:\tschibät.sch`.
While it can be sensibly argued that users who set up such funny drive
letters really seek adverse consequences, the Windows Operating System
is known to be a platform where many users are at the mercy of
administrators who have their very own idea of what constitutes a
reasonable setup.
Therefore, let's just make sure that such funny paths are still
considered absolute paths by Git, on Windows.
In addition to Unicode characters, pretty much any character is a valid
drive letter, as far as `subst` is concerned, even `:` and `"` or even a
space character. While it is probably the opposite of smart to use them,
let's safeguard `is_dos_drive_prefix()` against all of them.
Note: `[::1]:repo` is a valid URL, but not a valid path on Windows.
As `[` is now considered a valid drive letter, we need to be very
careful to avoid misinterpreting such a string as valid local path in
`url_is_local_not_ssh()`. To do that, we use the just-introduced
function `is_valid_path()` (which will label the string as invalid file
name because of the colon characters).
This fixes CVE-2019-1351.

This patch series plugs an attack vector we had overlooked in our
December 2014 work on `core.protectNTFS`.
Essentially, the path `.git::$INDEX_ALLOCATION/config` is interpreted as
`.git/config` when NTFS Alternate Data Streams are available (which they
are on Windows, and at least on network shares that are SMB-mounted on
macOS).
Needless to say: we don't want that.
In fact, we want to stay on the very safe side and not even special-case
the `$INDEX_ALLOCATION` stream type: let's just prevent Git from
touching _any_ explicitly specified Alternate Data Stream of `.git`.
In essence, we'll prevent Git from tracking, or writing to, any path
with a segment of the form `.git:<anything>`.

mingw: refuse to access paths with trailing spaces or periods
When creating a directory on Windows whose path ends in a space or a
period (or chains thereof), the Win32 API "helpfully" trims those. For
example, `mkdir("abc ");` will return success, but actually create a
directory called `abc` instead.
This stems back to the DOS days, when all file names had exactly 8
characters plus exactly 3 characters for the file extension, and the
only way to have shorter names was by padding with spaces.
Sadly, this "helpful" behavior is a bit inconsistent: after a successful
`mkdir("abc ");`, a `mkdir("abc /def")` will actually _fail_ (because
the directory `abc ` does not actually exist).
Even if it would work, we now have a serious problem because a Git
repository could contain directories `abc` and `abc `, and on Windows,
they would be "merged" unintentionally.
As these paths are illegal on Windows, anyway, let's disallow any
accesses to such paths on that Operating System.
For practical reasons, this behavior is still guarded by the
config setting `core.protectNTFS`: it is possible (and at least two
regression tests make use of it) to create commits without involving the
worktree. In such a scenario, it is of course possible -- even on
Windows -- to create such file names.
Among other consequences, this patch disallows submodules' paths to end
in spaces on Windows (which would formerly have confused Git enough to
try to write into incorrect paths, anyway).
While this patch does not fix a vulnerability on its own, it prevents an
attack vector that was exploited in demonstrations of a number of
recently-fixed security bugs.
The regression test added to `t/t7417-submodule-path-url.sh` reflects
that attack vector.
Note that we have to adjust the test case "prevent git~1 squatting on
Windows" in `t/t7415-submodule-names.sh` because of a very subtle issue.
It tries to clone two submodules whose names differ only in a trailing
period character, and as a consequence their git directories differ in
the same way. Previously, when Git tried to clone the second submodule,
it thought that the git directory already existed (because on Windows,
when you create a directory with the name `b.` it actually creates `b`),
but with this patch, the first submodule's clone will fail because of
the illegal name of the git directory. Therefore, when cloning the
second submodule, Git will take a different code path: a fresh clone
(without an existing git directory). Both code paths fail to clone the
second submodule, both because the the corresponding worktree directory
exists and is not empty, but the error messages are worded differently.

quote-stress-test: offer to test quoting arguments for MSYS2 sh
It is unfortunate that we need to quote arguments differently on

mingw: refuse to access paths with illegal characters
Certain characters are not admissible in file names on Windows, even if
Cygwin/MSYS2 (and therefore, Git for Windows' Bash) pretend that they
are, e.g. `:`, `<`, `>`, etc
Let's disallow those characters explicitly in Windows builds of Git.
Note: just like trailing spaces or periods, it _is_ possible on Windows
to create commits adding files with such illegal characters, as long as
the operation leaves the worktree untouched. To allow for that, we
continue to guard `is_valid_win32_path()` behind the config setting
`core.protectNTFS`, so that users _can_ continue to do that, as long as
they turn the protections off via that config setting.
Among other problems, this prevents Git from trying to write to an "NTFS
Alternate Data Stream" (which refers to metadata stored alongside a
file, under a special name: "<filename>:<stream-name>"). This fix
therefore also prevents an attack vector that was exploited in
demonstrations of a number of recently-fixed security bugs.

unpack-trees: let merged_entry() pass through do_add_entry()'s errors
A `git clone` will end with exit code 0 when `merged_entry()` returns a
positive value during a call of `unpack_trees()` to `traverse_trees()`.
The reason is that `unpack_trees()` will interpret a positive value not
to be an error.
The problem is, however, that `add_index_entry()` (which is called by
`merged_entry()` can report an error, and we really should fail the
entire clone in such a case.
Let's fix this problem, in preparation for a Windows-specific patch
disallowing `mkdir()` with directory names that contain a trailing space
(which is illegal on NTFS): we want `git clone` to abort when a path
cannot be checked out due to that condition.

However, in the test scripts touched by this patch, we _know_ that those

Happily, the stringent path validation will be guarded via the
`core.protectNTFS` flag, so all we need to do is to force that flag off
temporarily.

Currently it is technically possible to let a submodule's git
directory point right into the git dir of a sibling submodule.
Example: the git directories of two submodules with the names `hippo`
and `hippo/hooks` would be `.git/modules/hippo/` and
`.git/modules/hippo/hooks/`, respectively, but the latter is already
intended to house the former's hooks.
In most cases, this is just confusing, but there is also a (quite
contrived) attack vector where Git can be fooled into mistaking remote
content for file contents it wrote itself during a recursive clone.
Let's plug this bug.
To do so, we introduce the new function `validate_submodule_git_dir()`
which simply verifies that no git dir exists for any leading directories
of the submodule name (if there are any).
Note: this patch specifically continues to allow sibling modules names
of the form `core/lib`, `core/doc`, etc, as long as `core` is not a
submodule name.

Back in the DOS days, in the FAT file system, file names always
consisted of a base name of length 8 plus a file extension of length 3.
Shorter file names were simply padded with spaces to the full 8.3
format.
Later, the FAT file system was taught to support _also_ longer names,
with an 8.3 "short name" as primary file name. While at it, the same
facility allowed formerly illegal file names, such as `.git` (empty base
names were not allowed), which would have the "short name" `git~1`
associated with it.
For backwards-compatibility, NTFS supports alternative 8.3 short
filenames, too, even if starting with Windows Vista, they are only
generated on the system drive by default.
We addressed the problem that the `.git/` directory can _also_ be
accessed via `git~1/` (when short names are enabled) in 2b4c6efc821
(read-cache: optionally disallow NTFS .git variants, 2014-12-16), i.e.
since Git v1.9.5, by introducing the config setting `core.protectNTFS`
and enabling it by default on Windows.
In the meantime, Windows 10 introduced the "Windows Subsystem for Linux"
(short: WSL), i.e. a way to run Linux applications/distributions in a
thinly-isolated subsystem on Windows (giving rise to many a "2016 is the
Year of Linux on the Desktop" jokes). WSL is getting increasingly
popular, also due to the painless way Linux application can operate
directly ("natively") on files on Windows' file system: the Windows
drives are mounted automatically (e.g. `C:` as `/mnt/c/`).
Taken together, this means that we now have to enable the safe-guards of
Git v1.9.5 also in WSL: it is possible to access a `.git` directory
inside `/mnt/c/` via the 8.3 name `git~1` (unless short name generation
was disabled manually). Since regular Linux distributions run in WSL,
this means we have to enable `core.protectNTFS` at least on Linux, too.
To enable Services for Macintosh in Windows NT to store so-called
resource forks, NTFS introduced "Alternate Data Streams". Essentially,
these constitute additional metadata that are connected to (and copied
with) their associated files, and they are accessed via pseudo file
names of the form `filename:<stream-name>:<stream-type>`.
In a recent patch, we extended `core.protectNTFS` to also protect
against accesses via NTFS Alternate Data Streams, e.g. to prevent
contents of the `.git/` directory to be "tracked" via yet another
alternative file name.
While it is not possible (at least by default) to access files via NTFS
Alternate Data Streams from within WSL, the defaults on macOS when
mounting network shares via SMB _do_ allow accessing files and
directories in that way. Therefore, we need to enable `core.protectNTFS`
on macOS by default, too, and really, on any Operating System that can
mount network shares via SMB/CIFS.
A couple of approaches were considered for fixing this:
1. We could perform a dynamic NTFS check similar to the `core.symlinks`
check in `init`/`clone`: instead of trying to create a symbolic link
in the `.git/` directory, we could create a test file and try to
access `.git/config` via 8.3 name and/or Alternate Data Stream.
2. We could simply "flip the switch" on `core.protectNTFS`, to make it
"on by default".
The obvious downside of 1. is that it won't protect worktrees that were
clone with a vulnerable Git version already. We considered patching code
paths that check out files to check whether we're running on an NTFS
system dynamically and persist the result in the repository-local config
setting `core.protectNTFS`, but in the end decided that this solution
would be too fragile, and too involved.
The obvious downside of 2. is that everybody will have to "suffer" the
performance penalty incurred from calling `is_ntfs_dotgit()` on every
path, even in setups where.
After the recent work to accelerate `is_ntfs_dotgit()` in most cases,
it looks as if the time spent on validating ten million random
file names increases only negligibly (less than 20ms, well within the
standard deviation of ~50ms). Therefore the benefits outweigh the cost.
Another downside of this is that paths that might have been acceptable
previously now will be forbidden. Realistically, though, this is an
improvement because public Git hosters already would reject any `git
push` that contains such file names.
Note: There might be a similar problem mounting HFS+ on Linux. However,
this scenario has been considered unlikely and in light of the cost (in
the aforementioned benchmark, `core.protectHFS = true` increased the
time from ~440ms to ~610ms), it was decided _not_ to touch the default
of `core.protectHFS`.
This change addresses CVE-2019-1353.

path: also guard `.gitmodules` against NTFS Alternate Data Streams
We just safe-guarded `.git` against NTFS Alternate Data Stream-related
attack vectors, and now it is time to do the same for `.gitmodules`.
Note: In the added regression test, we refrain from verifying all kinds
of variations between short names and NTFS Alternate Data Streams: as
the new code disallows _all_ Alternate Data Streams of `.gitmodules`, it
is enough to test one in order to know that all of them are guarded
against.

We need to be careful to follow proper quoting rules. For example, if an
argument contains spaces, we have to quote them. Double-quotes need to
be escaped. Backslashes need to be escaped, but only if they are
followed by a double-quote character.
We need to be _extra_ careful to consider the case where an argument
ends in a backslash _and_ needs to be quoted: in this case, we append a
double-quote character, i.e. the backslash now has to be escaped!
The current code, however, fails to recognize that, and therefore can
turn an argument that ends in a single backslash into a quoted argument
that now ends in an escaped double-quote character. This allows
subsequent command-line parameters to be split and part of them being
mistaken for command-line options, e.g. through a maliciously-crafted
submodule URL during a recursive clone.
Technically, we would not need to quote _all_ arguments which end in a
backslash _unless_ the argument needs to be quoted anyway. For example,
`test\` would not need to be quoted, while `test \` would need to be.
To keep the code simple, however, and therefore easier to reason about
and ensure its correctness, we now _always_ quote an argument that ends
in a backslash.
This addresses CVE-2019-1350.

Previously, this function was written without focusing on speed,
intending to make reviewing the code as easy as possible, to avoid any
bugs in this critical code.
Turns out: we can do much better on both accounts. With this patch, we
make it as fast as this developer can make it go:
- We avoid the call to `is_dir_sep()` and make all the character
comparisons explicit.
- We avoid the cost of calling `strncasecmp()` and unroll the test for
`.git` and `git~1`, not even using `tolower()` because it is faster to
compare against two constant values.
- We look for `.git` and `.git~1` first thing, and return early if not

path: safeguard `.git` against NTFS Alternate Streams Accesses
Probably inspired by HFS' resource streams, NTFS supports "Alternate
Data Streams": by appending `:<stream-name>` to the file name,
information in addition to the file contents can be written and read,
information that is copied together with the file (unless copied to a
non-NTFS location).
These Alternate Data Streams are typically used for things like marking
an executable as having just been downloaded from the internet (and
hence not necessarily being trustworthy).
In addition to a stream name, a stream type can be appended, like so:
`:<stream-name>:<stream-type>`. Unless specified, the default stream
type is `$DATA` for files and `$INDEX_ALLOCATION` for directories. In
other words, `.git::$INDEX_ALLOCATION` is a valid way to reference the
`.git` directory!
In our work in Git v2.2.1 to protect Git on NTFS drives under
`core.protectNTFS`, we focused exclusively on NTFS short names, unaware
of the fact that NTFS Alternate Data Streams offer a similar attack
vector.
Let's fix this.
Seeing as it is better to be safe than sorry, we simply disallow paths
referring to *any* NTFS Alternate Data Stream of `.git`, not just
`::$INDEX_ALLOCATION`. This also simplifies the implementation.
This closes CVE-2019-1352.

The config setting `core.protectNTFS` is specifically designed to work
not only on Windows, but anywhere, to allow for repositories hosted on,
say, Linux servers to be protected against NTFS-specific attack vectors.
As a consequence, `is_ntfs_dotgit()` manually splits backslash-separated
paths (but does not do the same for paths separated by forward slashes),
under the assumption that the backslash might not be a valid directory
separator on the _current_ Operating System.
However, the two callers, `verify_path()` and `fsck_tree()`, are
supposed to feed only individual path segments to the `is_ntfs_dotgit()`
function.
This causes a lot of duplicate scanning (and very inefficient scanning,
too, as the inner loop of `is_ntfs_dotgit()` was optimized for
readability rather than for speed.
Let's simplify the design of `is_ntfs_dotgit()` by putting the burden of
splitting the paths by backslashes as directory separators on the
callers of said function.
Consequently, the `verify_path()` function, which already splits the
path by directory separators, now treats backslashes as directory
separators _explicitly_ when `core.protectNTFS` is turned on, even on
platforms where the backslash is _not_ a directory separator.
Note that we have to repeat some code in `verify_path()`: if the
backslash is not a directory separator on the current Operating System,
we want to allow file names like `\`, but we _do_ want to disallow paths
that are clearly intended to cause harm when the repository is cloned on
Windows.
The `fsck_tree()` function (the other caller of `is_ntfs_dotgit()`) now
needs to look for backslashes in tree entries' names specifically when
`core.protectNTFS` is turned on. While it would be tempting to
completely disallow backslashes in that case (much like `fsck` reports
names containing forward slashes as "full paths"), this would be
overzealous: when `core.protectNTFS` is turned on in a non-Windows
setup, backslashes are perfectly valid characters in file names while we
_still_ want to disallow tree entries that are clearly designed to
exploit NTFS-specific behavior.
This simplification will make subsequent changes easier to implement,
such as turning `core.protectNTFS` on by default (not only on Windows)
or protecting against attack vectors involving NTFS Alternate Data
Streams.
Incidentally, this change allows for catching malicious repositories
that contain tree entries of the form `dir\.gitmodules` already on the
server side rather than only on the client side (and previously only on
Windows): in contrast to `is_ntfs_dotgit()`, the
`is_ntfs_dotgitmodules()` function already expects the caller to split
the paths by directory separators.

mingw: disallow backslash characters in tree objects' file names
The backslash character is not a valid part of a file name on Windows.
Hence it is dangerous to allow writing files that were unpacked from
tree objects, when the stored file name contains a backslash character:
it will be misinterpreted as directory separator.
This not only causes ambiguity when a tree contains a blob `a\b` and a
tree `a` that contains a blob `b`, but it also can be used as part of an
attack vector to side-step the careful protections against writing into
the `.git/` directory during a clone of a maliciously-crafted

clone --recurse-submodules: prevent name squatting on Windows
In addition to preventing `.git` from being tracked by Git, on Windows
we also have to prevent `git~1` from being tracked, as the default NTFS
short name (also known as the "8.3 filename") for the file name `.git`
is `git~1`, otherwise it would be possible for malicious repositories to
write directly into the `.git/` directory, e.g. a `post-checkout` hook
that would then be executed _during_ a recursive clone.
When we implemented appropriate protections in 2b4c6efc821 (read-cache:
optionally disallow NTFS .git variants, 2014-12-16), we had analyzed
carefully that the `.git` directory or file would be guaranteed to be
the first directory entry to be written. Otherwise it would be possible
e.g. for a file named `..git` to be assigned the short name `git~1` and
subsequently, the short name generated for `.git` would be `git~2`. Or
`git~3`. Or even `~9999999` (for a detailed explanation of the lengths
we have to go to protect `.gitmodules`, see the commit message of e7cb0b4455c (is_ntfs_dotgit: match other .git files, 2018-05-11)).
However, by exploiting two issues (that will be addressed in a related
patch series close by), it is currently possible to clone a submodule
into a non-empty directory:
- On Windows, file names cannot end in a space or a period (for
historical reasons: the period separating the base name from the file
extension was not actually written to disk, and the base name/file
extension was space-padded to the full 8/3 characters, respectively).
Helpfully, when creating a directory under the name, say, `sub.`, that
trailing period is trimmed automatically and the actual name on disk
is `sub`.
This means that while Git thinks that the submodule names `sub` and
`sub.` are different, they both access `.git/modules/sub/`.
- While the backslash character is a valid file name character on Linux,
it is not so on Windows. As Git tries to be cross-platform, it
therefore allows backslash characters in the file names stored in tree
objects.
Which means that it is totally possible that a submodule `c` sits next
to a file `c\..git`, and on Windows, during recursive clone a file
called `..git` will be written into `c/`, of course _before_ the
submodule is cloned.
Note that the actual exploit is not quite as simple as having a
submodule `c` next to a file `c\..git`, as we have to make sure that the
directory `.git/modules/b` already exists when the submodule is checked
out, otherwise a different code path is taken in `module_clone()` that
does _not_ allow a non-empty submodule directory to exist already.
Even if we will address both issues nearby (the next commit will
disallow backslash characters in tree entries' file names on Windows,
and another patch will disallow creating directories/files with trailing
spaces or periods), it is a wise idea to defend in depth against this
sort of attack vector: when submodules are cloned recursively, we now
_require_ the directory to be empty, addressing CVE-2019-1349.
Note: the code path we patch is shared with the code path of `git
submodule update --init`, which must not expect, in general, that the
directory is empty. Hence we have to introduce the new option
`--force-init` and hand it all the way down from `git submodule` to the
actual `git submodule--helper` process that performs the initial clone.

fast-import: disallow "feature import-marks" by default
As with export-marks in the previous commit, import-marks can access the
filesystem. This is significantly less dangerous than export-marks
because it only involves reading from arbitrary paths, rather than
writing them. However, it could still be surprising and have security
implications (e.g., exfiltrating data from a service that accepts
fast-import streams).
Let's lump it (and its "if-exists" counterpart) in with export-marks,
and enable the in-stream version only if --allow-unsafe-features is set.

fast-import: disallow "feature export-marks" by default
The fast-import stream command "feature export-marks=<path>" lets the
stream write marks to an arbitrary path. This may be surprising if you
are running fast-import against an untrusted input (which otherwise
cannot do anything except update Git objects and refs).
Let's disallow the use of this feature by default, and provide a
command-line option to re-enable it (you can always just use the
command-line --export-marks as well, but the in-stream version provides
an easy way for exporters to control the process).
This is a backwards-incompatible change, since the default is flipping
to the new, safer behavior. However, since the main users of the
in-stream versions would be import/export-based remote helpers, and
since we trust remote helpers already (which are already running
arbitrary code), we'll pass the new option by default when reading a
remote helper's stream. This should minimize the impact.
Note that the implementation isn't totally simple, as we have to work
around the fact that fast-import doesn't parse its command-line options
until after it has read any "feature" lines from the stream. This is how
it lets command-line options override in-stream. But in our case, it's
important to parse the new --allow-unsafe-features first.
There are three options for resolving this:
1. Do a separate "early" pass over the options. This is easy for us to
do because there are no command-line options that allow the
"unstuck" form (so there's no chance of us mistaking an argument
for an option), though it does introduce a risk of incorrect
parsing later (e.g,. if we convert to parse-options).
2. Move the option parsing phase back to the start of the program, but
teach the stream-reading code never to override an existing value.
This is tricky, because stream "feature" lines override each other
(meaning we'd have to start tracking the source for every option).
3. Accept that we might parse a "feature export-marks" line that is
forbidden, as long we don't _act_ on it until after we've parsed
the command line options.
This would, in fact, work with the current code, but only because
the previous patch fixed the export-marks parser to avoid touching
the filesystem.
So while it works, it does carry risk of somebody getting it wrong
in the future in a rather subtle and unsafe way.
I've gone with option (1) here as simple, safe, and unlikely to cause
regressions.

fast-import: delay creating leading directories for export-marks
When we parse the --export-marks option, we don't immediately open the
file, but we do create any leading directories. This can be especially
confusing when a command-line option overrides an in-stream one, in
which case we'd create the leading directory for the in-stream file,
even though we never actually write the file.
Let's instead create the directories just before opening the file, which
means we'll create only useful directories. Note that this could change
the handling of relative paths if we chdir() in between, but we don't
actually do so; the only permanent chdir is from setup_git_directory()
which runs before either code path (potentially we should take the
pre-setup dir into account to avoid surprising the user, but that's an
orthogonal change).
The test just adapts the existing "override" test to use paths with
leading directories. This checks both that the correct directory is
created (which worked before but was not tested), and that the
overridden one is not (our new fix here).
While we're here, let's also check the error result of
safe_create_leading_directories(). We'd presumably notice any failure
immediately after when we try to open the file itself, but we can give a
more specific error message in this case.

When asked to import marks from "subdir/file.marks", we create the

Most of the time this would be a noop, since if the marks file exists,
then the leading directories exist, too. But if it doesn't (e.g.,
because --import-marks-if-exists was used), then we'd create the useless
directory.
This dates back to 580d5f83e7 (fast-import: always create marks_file

We recently banned submodule urls that look like
command-line options. This is the matching change to ban
leading-dash paths.
As with the urls, this should not break any use cases that
currently work. Even with our "--" separator passed to
git-clone, git-submodule.sh gets confused. Without the code
portion of this patch, the clone of "-sub" added in t7417
would yield results like:
/path/to/git-submodule: 410: cd: Illegal option -s
/path/to/git-submodule: 417: cd: Illegal option -s
/path/to/git-submodule: 410: cd: Illegal option -s

Fetched in submodule path '-sub', but it did not contain b56243f8f4eb91b2f1f8109452e659f14dd3fbe4. Direct fetching of that commit failed.
Moreover, naively adding such a submodule doesn't work:
$ git submodule add $url -sub
The following path is ignored by one of your .gitignore files:
-sub
even though there is no such ignore pattern (the test script
hacks around this with a well-placed "git mv").
Unlike leading-dash urls, though, it's possible that such a
path _could_ be useful if we eventually made it work. So
this commit should be seen not as recommending a particular
policy, but rather temporarily closing off a broken and
possibly dangerous code-path. We may revisit this decision
later.
There are two minor differences to the tests in t7416 (that
covered urls):
1. We don't have a "./-sub" escape hatch to make this
work, since the submodule code expects to be able to
match canonical index names to the path field (so you
are free to add submodule config with that path, but we
would never actually use it, since an index entry would
never start with "./").
2. After this patch, cloning actually succeeds. Since we
ignore the submodule.*.path value, we fail to find a
config stanza for our submodule at all, and simply
treat it as inactive. We still check for the "ignoring"
message.

submodule-config: ban submodule urls that start with dash
The previous commit taught the submodule code to invoke our
"git clone $url $path" with a "--" separator so that we
aren't confused by urls or paths that start with dashes.
However, that's just one code path. It's not clear if there
are others, and it would be an easy mistake to add one in
the future. Moreover, even with the fix in the previous
commit, it's quite hard to actually do anything useful with
such an entry. Any url starting with a dash must fall into
one of three categories:
- it's meant as a file url, like "-path". But then any
clone is not going to have the matching path, since it's
by definition relative inside the newly created clone. If
you spell it as "./-path", the submodule code sees the
"/" and translates this to an absolute path, so it at
least works (assuming the receiver has the same
filesystem layout as you). But that trick does not apply
for a bare "-path".
- it's meant as an ssh url, like "-host:path". But this
already doesn't work, as we explicitly disallow ssh
hostnames that begin with a dash (to avoid option
injection against ssh).
- it's a remote-helper scheme, like "-scheme::data". This
_could_ work if the receiver bends over backwards and
creates a funny-named helper like "git-remote--scheme".
But normally there would not be any helper that matches.
Since such a url does not work today and is not likely to do
anything useful in the future, let's simply disallow them
entirely. That protects the existing "git clone" path (in a
belt-and-suspenders way), along with any others that might
exist.
Our tests cover two cases:
1. A file url with "./" continues to work, showing that
there's an escape hatch for people with truly silly
repo names.
2. A url starting with "-" is rejected.
Note that we expect case (2) to fail, but it would have done
so even without this commit, for the reasons given above.
So instead of just expecting failure, let's also check for
the magic word "ignoring" on stderr. That lets us know that
we failed for the right reason.

verify_path: disallow symlinks in .gitmodules
There are a few reasons it's not a good idea to make
.gitmodules a symlink, including:
1. It won't be portable to systems without symlinks.
2. It may behave inconsistently, since Git may look at
this file in the index or a tree without bothering to
resolve any symbolic links. We don't do this _yet_, but
the config infrastructure is there and it's planned for
the future.
With some clever code, we could make (2) work. And some
people may not care about (1) if they only work on one
platform. But there are a few security reasons to simply
disallow it:
a. A symlinked .gitmodules file may circumvent any fsck
checks of the content.
b. Git may read and write from the on-disk file without
sanity checking the symlink target. So for example, if
you link ".gitmodules" to "../oops" and run "git
submodule add", we'll write to the file "oops" outside
the repository.
Again, both of those are problems that _could_ be solved
with sufficient code, but given the complications in (1) and
(2), we're better off just outlawing it explicitly.
Note the slightly tricky call to verify_path() in
update-index's update_one(). There we may not have a mode if
we're not updating from the filesystem (e.g., we might just
be removing the file). Passing "0" as the mode there works
fine; since it's not a symlink, we'll just skip the extra
checks.

update-index: stat updated files earlier
In the update_one(), we check verify_path() on the proposed
path before doing anything else. In preparation for having
verify_path() look at the file mode, let's stat the file
earlier, so we can check the mode accurately.
This is made a bit trickier by the fact that this function
only does an lstat in a few code paths (the ones that flow
down through process_path()). So we can speculatively do the
lstat() here and pass the results down, and just use a dummy
mode for cases where we won't actually be updating the index
from the filesystem.

skip_prefix: add case-insensitive variant
We have the convenient skip_prefix() helper, but if you want
to do case-insensitive matching, you're stuck doing it by

let callers ask for this, but the function is small and
somewhat performance-critical. Let's just re-implement it
for the case-insensitive version.
When we started to catch NTFS short names that clash with .git, we only
looked for GIT~1. This is sufficient because we only ever clone into an
empty directory, so .git is guaranteed to be the first subdirectory or
file in that directory.
However, even with a fresh clone, .gitmodules is *not* necessarily the
first file to be written that would want the NTFS short name GITMOD~1: a
malicious repository can add .gitmodul0000 and friends, which sorts
before `.gitmodules` and is therefore checked out *first*. For that
reason, we have to test not only for ~1 short names, but for others,
too.
It's hard to just adapt the existing checks in is_ntfs_dotgit(): since
Windows 2000 (i.e., in all Windows versions still supported by Git),
NTFS short names are only generated in the <prefix>~<number> form up to
number 4. After that, a *different* prefix is used, calculated from the
long file name using an undocumented, but stable algorithm.
For example, the short name of .gitmodules would be GITMOD~1, but if it
is taken, and all of ~2, ~3 and ~4 are taken, too, the short name
GI7EBA~1 will be used. From there, collisions are handled by
incrementing the number, shortening the prefix as needed (until ~9999999
is reached, in which case NTFS will not allow the file to be created).
We'd also want to handle .gitignore and .gitattributes, which suffer
from a similar problem, using the fall-back short names GI250A~1 and
GI7D29~1, respectively.
To accommodate for that, we could reimplement the hashing algorithm, but
it is just safer and simpler to provide the known prefixes. This
algorithm has been reverse-engineered and described at
https://usn.pw/blog/gen/2015/06/09/filenames/, which is defunct but
still available via https://web.archive.org/.

Worse, this is easy to trigger during the fsck_tree() check,

Note one bit of trickiness in the existing code: we
sometimes assign -1 to "len" at the end of the loop, and
then rely on the "len++" in the for-loop's increment to take

submodule-config: verify submodule names as paths
Submodule "names" come from the untrusted .gitmodules file,
but we blindly append them to $GIT_DIR/modules to create our
on-disk repo paths. This means you can do bad things by
putting "../" into the name (among other things).
Let's sanity-check these names to avoid building a path that
can be exploited. There are two main decisions:
1. What should the allowed syntax be?
It's tempting to reuse verify_path(), since submodule
names typically come from in-repo paths. But there are
two reasons not to:
a. It's technically more strict than what we need, as
we really care only about breaking out of the
$GIT_DIR/modules/ hierarchy. E.g., having a
submodule named "foo/.git" isn't actually
dangerous, and it's possible that somebody has
manually given such a funny name.
b. Since we'll eventually use this checking logic in
fsck to prevent downstream repositories, it should
be consistent across platforms. Because
verify_path() relies on is_dir_sep(), it wouldn't
block "foo\..\bar" on a non-Windows machine.
2. Where should we enforce it? These days most of the
.gitmodules reads go through submodule-config.c, so
I've put it there in the reading step. That should
cover all of the C code.
We also construct the name for "git submodule add"
inside the git-submodule.sh script. This is probably
not a big deal for security since the name is coming
from the user anyway, but it would be polite to remind
them if the name they pick is invalid (and we need to
expose the name-checker to the shell anyway for our
test scripts).
This patch issues a warning when reading .gitmodules
and just ignores the related config entry completely.
This will generally end up producing a sensible error,
as it works the same as a .gitmodules file which is
missing a submodule entry (so "submodule update" will
barf, but "git clone --recurse-submodules" will print
an error but not abort the clone.
There is one minor oddity, which is that we print the
warning once per malformed config key (since that's how
the config subsystem gives us the entries). So in the
new test, for example, the user would see three
warnings. That's OK, since the intent is that this case
should never come up outside of malicious repositories
(and then it might even benefit the user to see the
message multiple times).
Credit for finding this vulnerability and the proof of
concept from which the test script was adapted goes to
Etienne Stalmans.

config: flip return value of write_section()
d9bd4cbb9cc (config: flip return value of store_write_*()) made
write_section() follow the convention of write(2) to return -1 on error
and the number of written bytes on success. 3b48045c6c7 (Merge branch
'sd/branch-copy') changed it back to returning 0 on error and 1 on
success, but left its callers still checking for negative values.
Let write_section() follow the convention of write(2) again to meet the
expectations of its callers.

apply: update line lengths for --inaccurate-eof
Some diff implementations don't report missing newlines at the end of
files. Applying such a patch can cause a newline character to be
added inadvertently. The option --inaccurate-eof of git apply can be
used to remove trailing newlines if needed.
apply_one_fragment() cuts it off from the buffers for preimage and
postimage. Before it does, it builds an array with the lengths of each
line for both. Make sure to update the length of the last line in
these line info structures as well to keep them consistent with their
respective buffer.
Without this fix the added test fails; git apply dies and reports:

sequencer: reschedule pick if index can't be locked
If the index cannot be locked in do_recursive_merge(), issue an
error message and go on to the error recovery codepath, instead of
dying. When the commit cannot be picked, it needs to be rescheduled
when performing an interactive rebase, but just dying there won't
allow that to happen, and when the user runs 'git rebase --continue'
rather than 'git rebase --abort', the commit gets silently dropped.
As explained in commit 06f46f237 (avoid "write_in_full(fd, buf, len)
!= len" pattern, 2017–09–13) the return value of write_in_full() is
either -1 or the requested number of bytes. As such comparing the
return value to an unsigned value such as strbuf.len will fail to
catch errors. Change the code to use the preferred '< 0' check.

merge-recursive: handle addition of submodule on our side of history
The code for a newly added path assumed that the path was a normal file,
and thus checked for there being a directory still being in the way of
the file. Note that since unpack_trees() does path-in-the-way checks
already, the only way for there to be a directory in the way at this
point in the code, is if there is some kind of D/F conflict in the merge.
For a submodule addition on HEAD's side of history, the submodule would
have already been present. This means that we do expect there to be a
directory present but should not consider it to be "in the way"; instead,
it's the expected submodule. So, when there's a submodule addition from
HEAD's side, don't bother checking the working copy for a directory in
the way.
