    • commit_list: fix possible buffer overflow in `commit_quick_parse` · 3316f666
      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.

    • config: validate ownership of C:\ProgramData\Git\config before using it · d475d5d6
      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.

    • Correctly write to missing locked global config · 98c11905
      Opening a default config when ~/.gitconfig doesn't exist, locking it,
      and attempting to write to it causes an assertion failure.
      
      Treat non-existent global config file content as an empty string.

    • cmake: fix include ordering issues with bundled deps · 9e07f684
      When linking against bundled libraries, we include their header
      directories by using "-isystem". The reason for that is that we
      want to handle our vendored library headers specially, most
      importantly to ignore warnings generated by including them. By
      using "-isystem", though, we screw up the order of searched
      include directories by moving those bundled dependencies towards
      the end of the lookup order. Like this, chances are high that any
      other specified include directory contains a file that collides
      with the actual desired include file.
      
      Fix this by not treating the bundled dependencies' include
      directories as system includes. This will move them to the front
      of the lookup order and thus cause them to override
      system-provided headers. While this may cause the compiler to
      generate additional warnings when processing bundled headers,
      this is a tradeoff we should make regardless to fix builds on
      systems hitting this issue.

    • cmake: correctly detect if system provides `regcomp` · 085ed2c6
      We assume that if we are on Win32, Amiga OS, Solaris or SunOS,
      that the regcomp(3P) function cannot be provided by the system.
      Thus we will in these cases always include our own, bundled regex
      sources to make a regcomp implementation available. This test is
      obviously very fragile, and we have seen it fail on MSYS2/MinGW
      systems, which do in fact provide the regcomp symbol. The effect
      is that during compilation, we will use the "regex.h" header
      provided by MinGW, but use symbols provided by ourselves. This
      in fact may cause subtle memory layout issues, as the structure
      made available via MinGW doesn't match what our bundled code
      expects.
      
      There's one more problem with our regex detection: on the listed
      platforms, we will incorrectly include the bundled regex code
      even in case where the system provides regcomp_l(3), but it will
      never be used for anything.
      
      Fix the issue by improving our regcomp detection code. Instead of
      relying on a fragile listing of platforms, we can just use
      `CHECK_FUNCTION_EXISTS` instead. This will not in fact avoid the
      header-ordering problem. But we can assume that as soon as a
      system-provided "regex.h" header is provided, that
      `CHECK_FUNCTION_EXISTS` will now correctly find the desired
      symbol and thus not include our bundled regex code.

    • config_file: check result of git_array_alloc · 4ec32d36
      git_array_alloc can return NULL if no memory is available, causing
      a segmentation fault in memset. This adds GIT_ERROR_CHECK_ALLOC
      similar to how other parts of the code base deal with the return
      value of git_array_alloc.

    • git_repository_init: stop traversing at windows root · 9b698978
      Stop traversing the filesystem at the Windows directory root.  We were
      calculating the filesystem root for the given directory to create, and
      walking up the filesystem hierarchy.  We intended to stop when the
      traversal path length is equal to the root path length (ie, stopping at
      the root, since no path may be shorter than the root path).
      
      However, on Windows, the root path may be specified in two different
      ways, as either `Z:` or `Z:\`, where `Z:` is the current drive letter.
      `git_path_dirname_r` returns the path _without_ a trailing slash, even
      for the Windows root.  As a result, during traversal, we need to test
      that the traversal path is _less than or equal to_ the root path length
      to determine if we've hit the root to ensure that we stop when our
      traversal path is `Z:` and our calculated root path was `Z:\`.

    • ignore: treat paths with trailing "/" as directories · 21baf7ab
      The function `git_ignore_path_is_ignored` is there to test the
      ignore status of paths that need not necessarily exist inside of
      a repository. This has the implication that for a given path, we
      cannot always decide whether it references a directory or a file,
      and we need to distinguish those cases because ignore rules may
      treat those differently. E.g. given the following gitignore file:
      
          *
          !/**/
      
      we'd only want to unignore directories, while keeping files
      ignored. But still, calling `git_ignore_path_is_ignored("dir/")`
      will say that this directory is ignored because it treats "dir/"
      as a file path.
      
      As said, the `is_ignored` function cannot always decide whether
      the given path is a file or directory, and thus it may produce
      wrong results in some cases. While this is unfixable in the
      general case, we can do better when we are being passed a path
      name with a trailing path separator (e.g. "dir/") and always
      treat them as directories.

    • tests: diff: test parsing diffs with a new file with spaces in its path · 4ec209cd

    • patch_parse: fix parsing addition/deletion of file with space · 96b6fe11
      The diff header format is a strange beast in that it is inherently
      unparseable in an unambiguous way. While parsing
      
          a/file.txt b/file.txt
      
      is obvious and trivially doable, parsing a diff header of
      
          a/file b/file ab.txt b/file b/file ab.txt
      
      is not (but in fact valid and created by git.git).
      
      Due to that, we have relaxed our diff header parser in commit 80226b5f
      (patch_parse: allow parsing ambiguous patch headers, 2017-09-22), so
      that we started to bail out when seeing diff headers with spaces in
      their file names. Instead, we try to use the "---" and "+++" lines,
      which are unambiguous.
      
      In some cases, though, we neither have a useable file name from the
      header nor from the "---" or "+++" lines. This is the case when we have
      a deletion or addition of a file with spaces: the header is unparseable
      and the other lines will simply show "/dev/null". This trips our parsing
      logic when we try to extract the prefix (the "a/" part) that is being
      used in the path line, where we unconditionally try to dereference a
      NULL pointer in such a scenario.
      
      We can fix this by simply not trying to parse the prefix in cases where
      we have no useable path name. That'd leave the parsed patch without
      either `old_prefix` or `new_prefix` populated. But in fact such cases
      are already handled by users of the patch object, which simply opt to
      use the default prefixes in that case.

    • ignore: Do not match on prefix of negated patterns · 12bc7181
      Matching on the prefix of a negated pattern was triggering false
      negatives on siblings of that pattern. e.g.
      
      Given the .gitignore:
      dir/*
      !dir/sub1/sub2/**
      
      The path `dir/a.text` would not be ignored.
