submodule: require the submodule path to contain directories only

2024-04-17T20:30:04Z

Submodules are stored in subdirectories of their superproject. When these subdirectories have been replaced with symlinks by a malicious actor, all kinds of mayhem can be caused. This _should_ not be possible, but many CVEs in the past showed that _when_ possible, it allows attackers to slip in code that gets executed during, say, a `git clone --recursive` operation. Let's add some defense-in-depth to disallow submodule paths to have anything except directories in them. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin

clone: prevent clashing git dirs when cloning submodule in parallel

2024-04-17T20:30:01Z

While it is expected to have several git dirs within the `.git/modules/` tree, it is important that they do not interfere with each other. For example, if one submodule was called "captain" and another submodule "captain/hooks", their respective git dirs would clash, as they would be located in `.git/modules/captain/` and `.git/modules/captain/hooks/`, respectively, i.e. the latter's files could clash with the actual Git hooks of the former. To prevent these clashes, and in particular to prevent hooks from being written and then executed as part of a recursive clone, we introduced checks as part of the fix for CVE-2019-1387 in a8dee3ca61 (Disallow dubiously-nested submodule git directories, 2019-10-01). It is currently possible to bypass the check for clashing submodule git dirs in two ways: 1. parallel cloning 2. checkout --recurse-submodules Let's check not only before, but also after parallel cloning (and before checking out the submodule), that the git dir is not clashing with another one, otherwise fail. This addresses the parallel cloning issue. As to the parallel checkout issue: It requires quite a few manual steps to create clashing git dirs because Git itself would refuse to initialize the inner one, as demonstrated by the test case. Nevertheless, let's teach the recursive checkout (namely, the `submodule_move_head()` function that is used by the recursive checkout) to be careful to verify that it does not use a clashing git dir, and if it does, disable it (by deleting the `HEAD` file so that subsequent Git calls won't recognize it as a git dir anymore). Note: The parallel cloning test case contains a `cat err` that proved to be highly useful when analyzing the racy nature of the operation (the operation can fail with three different error messages, depending on timing), and was left on purpose to ease future debugging should the need arise.

treewide: remove unnecessary includes in source files

2023-12-26T20:04:31Z

Each of these were checked with gcc -E -I. ${SOURCE_FILE} | grep ${HEADER_FILE} to ensure that removing the direct inclusion of the header actually resulted in that header no longer being included at all (i.e. that no other header pulled it in transitively). ...except for a few cases where we verified that although the header was brought in transitively, nothing from it was directly used in that source file. These cases were: * builtin/credential-cache.c * builtin/pull.c * builtin/send-pack.c Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

git-compat-util: move alloc macros to git-compat-util.h

2023-07-05T18:42:31Z

alloc_nr, ALLOC_GROW, and ALLOC_GROW_BY are commonly used macros for dynamic array allocation. Moving these macros to git-compat-util.h with the other alloc macros focuses alloc.[ch] to allocation for Git objects and additionally allows us to remove inclusions to alloc.h from files that solely used the above macros.

object-store-ll.h: split this header out of object-store.h

2023-06-21T20:39:54Z

The vast majority of files including object-store.h did not need dir.h nor khash.h. Split the header into two files, and let most just depend upon object-store-ll.h, while letting the two callers that need it depend on the full object-store.h. After this patch: $ git grep -h include..object-store | sort | uniq -c 2 #include "object-store.h" 129 #include "object-store-ll.h" Diff best viewed with `--color-moved`.

repository: remove unnecessary include of path.h

2023-06-21T20:39:53Z

This also made it clear that several .c files that depended upon path.h were missing a #include for it; add the missing includes while at it. Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
