2019-12-06submodule: reject submodule.update = !command in .gitmodulesJonathan Nieder
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.

2019-12-04fast-import: disallow "feature import-marks" by defaultJeff King
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. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
2019-12-04fast-import: disallow "feature export-marks" by defaultJeff King
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. This fixes CVE-2019-1348. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

2019-02-06Revert "rebase: introduce a shortcut for --reschedule-failed-exec"Johannes Schindelin
This patch was contributed only as a tentative "we could introduce a convenient short option if we do not want to change the default behavior in the long run" patch, opening the discussion whether other people agree with deprecating the current behavior in favor of the rescheduling behavior. But the consensus on the Git mailing list was that it would make sense to show a warning in the near future, and flip the default rebase.rescheduleFailedExec to reschedule failed `exec` commands by default. See e.g. <CAGZ79kZL5CRqCDRb6B-EedUm8Z_i4JuSF2=UtwwdRXMitrrOBw@mail.gmail.com> So let's back out that patch that added the `-y` short option that we agreed was not necessary or desirable.
