In 0b294c0abf0 (make deleting a missing ref more quiet, 2008-07-08), we
added a test to verify that deleting an already-deleted ref does not
show an error.
Our test simply looks for the substring 'error' in the output of the
`git push`, which might look innocuous on the face of it.
Suppose, however, that you are a big fan of whales. Or even better: your
IT administrator has a whale of a time picking cute user names, e.g.
referring to you (due to your like of India Pale Ales) as "one of the
cuter rorquals" (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rorqual to learn a
thing or two about rorquals) and hence your home directory becomes
/home/cuterrorqual. If you now run t5404, it fails! Why? Because the
test calls `git push origin :b3` which outputs:
To /home/cuterrorqual/git/t/trash directory.t5404-tracking-branches/.
- [deleted] b3
Note how there is no error displayed in that output? But of course
"error" is a substring of "cuterrorqual". And so that `grep error
output` finds something.
This bug was not, actually, caught having "error" as a substring of the
user name but while working in a worktree called "colorize-push-errors",
whose name was part of that output, too, suggesting that not even
testing for the *word* `error` via `git grep -w error output` would fix
the underlying issue.
This patch chooses instead to look for the prefix "error:" at the
beginning of the line, so that there can be no ambiguity that any catch
was indeed a message generated by Git's `error_builtin()` function.

We run `git rev-parse` though the shell, and quote its
argument only with single-quotes. This prevents most
metacharacters from being a problem, but misses the obvious
case when $name itself has single-quotes in it. We can fix
this by applying the usual shell-quoting formula.

The git-cvsserver script is old and largely unmaintained
these days. But git-shell allows untrusted users to run it
out of the box, significantly increasing its attack surface.
Let's drop it from git-shell's list of internal handlers so
that it cannot be run by default. This is not backwards
compatible. But given the age and development activity on
CVS-related parts of Git, this is likely to impact very few
users, while helping many more (i.e., anybody who runs
git-shell and had no intention of supporting CVS).
There's no configuration mechanism in git-shell for us to
add a boolean and flip it to "off". But there is a mechanism
for adding custom commands, and adding CVS support here is
fairly trivial. Let's document it to give guidance to
anybody who really is still running cvsserver.

connect: reject paths that look like command line options
If we get a repo path like "-repo.git", we may try to invoke
"git-upload-pack -repo.git". This is going to fail, since
upload-pack will interpret it as a set of bogus options. But
let's reject this before we even run the sub-program, since
we would not want to allow any mischief with repo names that
actually are real command-line options.
You can still ask for such a path via git-daemon, but there's no
security problem there, because git-daemon enters the repo itself
and then passes "." on the command line.

connect: reject dashed arguments for proxy commands
If you have a GIT_PROXY_COMMAND configured, we will run it
with the host/port on the command-line. If a URL contains a
mischievous host like "--foo", we don't know how the proxy
command may handle it. It's likely to break, but it may also
do something dangerous and unwanted (technically it could
even do something useful, but that seems unlikely).
We should err on the side of caution and reject this before
we even run the command.
The hostname check matches the one we do in a similar
circumstance for ssh. The port check is not present for ssh,
but there it's not necessary because the syntax is "-p
<port>", and there's no ambiguity on the parsing side.
It's not clear whether you can actually get a negative port
to the proxy here or not. Doing:
git fetch git://remote:-1234/repo.git
keeps the "-1234" as part of the hostname, with the default
port of 9418. But it's a good idea to keep this check close
to the point of running the command to make it clear that
there's no way to circumvent it (and at worst it serves as a
belt-and-suspenders check).

connect: reject ssh hostname that begins with a dash
When commands like "git fetch" talk with ssh://$rest_of_URL/, the
code splits $rest_of_URL into components like host, port, etc., and
then spawns the underlying "ssh" program by formulating argv[] array
that has:
- the path to ssh command taken from GIT_SSH_COMMAND, etc.
- dashed options like '-batch' (for Tortoise), '-p <port>' as
needed.
- ssh_host, which is supposed to be the hostname parsed out of
$rest_of_URL.
- then the command to be run on the other side, e.g. git
upload-pack.
If the ssh_host ends up getting '-<anything>', the argv[] that is
used to spawn the command becomes something like:
which obviously is bogus, but depending on the actual value of
"<anything>", will make "ssh" parse and use it as an option.
Prevent this by forbidding ssh_host that begins with a "-".

When a remote server uses git-shell, the client side will
connect to it like:
ssh server "git-upload-pack 'foo.git'"
and we literally exec ("git-upload-pack", "foo.git"). In
early versions of upload-pack and receive-pack, we took a
repository argument and nothing else. But over time they
learned to accept dashed options. If the user passes a
repository name that starts with a dash, the results are
confusing at best (we complain of a bogus option instead of
a non-existent repository) and malicious at worst (the user
can start an interactive pager via "--help").
We could pass "--" to the sub-process to make sure the
user's argument is interpreted as a branch name. I.e.:
git-upload-pack -- -foo.git
But adding "--" automatically would make us inconsistent
with a normal shell (i.e., when git-shell is not in use),
where "-foo.git" would still be an error. For that case, the
client would have to specify the "--", but they can't do so
reliably, as existing versions of git-shell do not allow
more than a single argument.
The simplest thing is to simply disallow "-" at the start of
the repo name argument. This hasn't worked either with or
without git-shell since version 1.0.0, and nobody has
complained.
Note that this patch just applies to do_generic_cmd(), which
runs upload-pack, receive-pack, and upload-archive. There
are two other types of commands that git-shell runs:
- do_cvs_cmd(), but this already restricts the argument to
be the literal string "server"
- admin-provided commands in the git-shell-commands
directory. We'll pass along arbitrary arguments there,
so these commands could have similar problems. But these
commands might actually understand dashed arguments, so
we cannot just block them here. It's up to the writer of
the commands to make sure they are safe. With great
power comes great responsibility.

Extract a small helper out of the function that reads the authors
script file "git am" internally uses.
This by itself is not useful until a second caller appears in the
future for "rebase -i" helper.
Since 650c44925 (common-main: call git_extract_argv0_path(),
2016-07-01), the argv[0] that is seen in cmd_main() of
individual programs is always the basename of the
executable, as common-main strips off the full path. This
can produce confusing results for git-daemon, which wants to
re-exec itself.
For instance, if the program was originally run as
"/usr/lib/git/git-daemon", it will try just re-execing
"git-daemon", which will find the first instance in $PATH.
If git's exec-path has not been prepended to $PATH, we may
find the git-daemon from a different version (or no
git-daemon at all).
Normally this isn't a problem. Git commands are run as "git
daemon", the git wrapper puts the exec-path at the front of
$PATH, and argv[0] is already "daemon" anyway. But running
git-daemon via its full exec-path, while not really a
recommended method, did work prior to 650c44925. Let's make
it work again.
The real goal of 650c44925 was not to munge argv[0], but to
reliably set the argv0_path global. The only reason it
munges at all is that one caller, the git.c wrapper,
piggy-backed on that computation to find the command
basename. Instead, let's leave argv[0] untouched in
common-main, and have git.c do its own basename computation.
While we're at it, let's drop the return value from
git_extract_argv0_path(). It was only ever used in this one
callsite, and its dual purposes is what led to this
confusion in the first place.
Note that by changing the interface, the compiler can
confirm for us that there are no other callers storing the
return value. But the compiler can't tell us whether any of
the cmd_main() functions (besides git.c) were relying on the
basename munging. However, we can observe that prior to 650c44925, no other cmd_main() functions did that munging,
and no new cmd_main() functions have been introduced since
then. So we can't be regressing any of those cases.
