signed push: allow stale nonce in stateless modeJunio C Hamano Fri, 5 Sep 2014 17:46:04 +0000 (10:46 -0700)

signed push: allow stale nonce in stateless mode

When operating with the stateless RPC mode, we will receive a nonce
issued by another instance of us that advertised our capability and
refs some time ago. Update the logic to check received nonce to
detect this case, compute how much time has passed since the nonce
was issued and report the status with a new environment variable
GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_SLOP to the hooks.

GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_STATUS will report "SLOP" in such a case. The
hooks are free to decide how large a slop it is willing to accept.

Strictly speaking, the "nonce" is not really a "nonce" anymore in
the stateless RPC mode, as it will happily take any "nonce" issued
by it (which is protected by HMAC and its secret key) as long as it
is fresh enough. The degree of this security degradation, relative
to the native protocol, is about the same as the "we make sure that
the 'git push' decided to update our refs with new objects based on
the freshest observation of our refs by making sure the values they
claim the original value of the refs they ask us to update exactly
match the current state" security is loosened to accomodate the
stateless RPC mode in the existing code without this series, so
there is no need for those who are already using smart HTTP to push
to their repositories to be alarmed any more than they already are.

In addition, the server operator can set receive.certnonceslop
configuration variable to specify how stale a nonce can be (in
seconds). When this variable is set, and if the nonce received in
the certificate that passes the HMAC check was less than that many
seconds old, hooks are given "OK" in GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_STATUS
(instead of "SLOP") and the received nonce value is given in
GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE, which makes it easier for a simple-minded
hook to check if the certificate we received is recent enough.

signed push: teach smart-HTTP to pass "git push --signe... Junio C Hamano Mon, 15 Sep 2014 21:59:00 +0000 (14:59 -0700)

signed push: teach smart-HTTP to pass "git push --signed" around

The "--signed" option received by "git push" is first passed to the
transport layer, which the native transport directly uses to notice
that a push certificate needs to be sent. When the transport-helper
is involved, however, the option needs to be told to the helper with
set_helper_option(), and the helper needs to take necessary action.
For the smart-HTTP helper, the "necessary action" involves spawning
the "git send-pack" subprocess with the "--signed" option.

Once the above all gets wired in, the smart-HTTP transport now can
use the push certificate mechanism to authenticate its pushes.

Add a test that is modeled after tests for the native transport in
t5534-push-signed.sh to t5541-http-push-smart.sh. Update the test
Apache configuration to pass GNUPGHOME environment variable through.
As PassEnv would trigger warnings for an environment variable that
is not set, export it from test-lib.sh set to a harmless value when
GnuPG is not being used in the tests.

Note that the added test is deliberately loose and does not check
the nonce in this step. This is because the stateless RPC mode is
inevitably flaky and a nonce that comes back in the actual push
processing is one issued by a different process; if the two
interactions with the server crossed a second boundary, the nonces
will not match and such a check will fail. A later patch in the
series will work around this shortcoming.

signed push: fortify against replay attacksJunio C Hamano Thu, 21 Aug 2014 23:45:30 +0000 (16:45 -0700)

signed push: fortify against replay attacks

In order to prevent a valid push certificate for pushing into an
repository from getting replayed in a different push operation, send
a nonce string from the receive-pack process and have the signer
include it in the push certificate. The receiving end uses an HMAC
hash of the path to the repository it serves and the current time
stamp, hashed with a secret seed (the secret seed does not have to
be per-repository but can be defined in /etc/gitconfig) to generate
the nonce, in order to ensure that a random third party cannot forge
a nonce that looks like it originated from it.

The original nonce is exported as GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE for the hooks
to examine and match against the value on the "nonce" header in the
certificate to notice a replay, but returned "nonce" header in the
push certificate is examined by receive-pack and the result is
exported as GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_STATUS, whose value would be "OK"
if the nonce recorded in the certificate matches what we expect, so
that the hooks can more easily check.

signed push: add "pushee" header to push certificateJunio C Hamano Sat, 23 Aug 2014 01:15:24 +0000 (18:15 -0700)

signed push: add "pushee" header to push certificate

Record the URL of the intended recipient for a push (after
anonymizing it if it has authentication material) on a new "pushee
URL" header. Because the networking configuration (SSH-tunnels,
proxies, etc.) on the pushing user's side varies, the receiving
repository may not know the single canonical URL all the pushing
users would refer it as (besides, many sites allow pushing over
ssh://host/path and https://host/path protocols to the same
repository but with different local part of the path). So this
value may not be reliably used for replay-attack prevention
purposes, but this will still serve as a human readable hint to
identify the repository the certificate refers to.

signed push: remove duplicated protocol infoJunio C Hamano Mon, 18 Aug 2014 21:38:45 +0000 (14:38 -0700)

signed push: remove duplicated protocol info

With the interim protocol, we used to send the update commands even
though we already send a signed copy of the same information when
push certificate is in use. Update the send-pack/receive-pack pair
not to do so.

The notable thing on the receive-pack side is that it makes sure
that there is no command sent over the traditional protocol packet
outside the push certificate. Otherwise a pusher can claim to be
pushing one set of ref updates in the signed certificate while
issuing commands to update unrelated refs, and such an update will
evade later audits.

Finally, start documenting the protocol.

send-pack: send feature request on push-cert packetJunio C Hamano Mon, 18 Aug 2014 20:46:58 +0000 (13:46 -0700)

send-pack: send feature request on push-cert packet

We would want to update the interim protocol so that we do not send
the usual update commands when the push certificate feature is in
use, as the same information is in the certificate. Once that
happens, the push-cert packet may become the only protocol command,
but then there is no packet to put the feature request behind, like
we always did.

As we have prepared the receiving end that understands the push-cert
feature to accept the feature request on the first protocol packet
(other than "shallow ", which was an unfortunate historical mistake
that has to come before everything else), we can give the feature
request on the push-cert packet instead of the first update protocol
packet, in preparation for the next step to actually update to the
final protocol.

push: the beginning of "git push --signed"Junio C Hamano Fri, 12 Sep 2014 18:17:07 +0000 (11:17 -0700)

push: the beginning of "git push --signed"

While signed tags and commits assert that the objects thusly signed
came from you, who signed these objects, there is not a good way to
assert that you wanted to have a particular object at the tip of a
particular branch. My signing v2.0.1 tag only means I want to call
the version v2.0.1, and it does not mean I want to push it out to my
'master' branch---it is likely that I only want it in 'maint', so
the signature on the object alone is insufficient.

The only assurance to you that 'maint' points at what I wanted to
place there comes from your trust on the hosting site and my
authentication with it, which cannot easily audited later.

Introduce a mechanism that allows you to sign a "push certificate"
(for the lack of better name) every time you push, asserting that
what object you are pushing to update which ref that used to point
at what other object. Think of it as a cryptographic protection for
ref updates, similar to signed tags/commits but working on an
orthogonal axis.

The basic flow based on this mechanism goes like this:

1. You push out your work with "git push --signed".

2. The sending side learns where the remote refs are as usual,
together with what protocol extension the receiving end
supports. If the receiving end does not advertise the protocol
extension "push-cert", an attempt to "git push --signed" fails.

Otherwise, a text file, that looks like the following, is
prepared in core:

certificate version 0.1
pusher Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> 1315427886 -0700

7339ca65... 21580ecb... refs/heads/master
3793ac56... 12850bec... refs/heads/next

The file begins with a few header lines, which may grow as we
gain more experience. The 'pusher' header records the name of
the signer (the value of user.signingkey configuration variable,
falling back to GIT_COMMITTER_{NAME|EMAIL}) and the time of the
certificate generation. After the header, a blank line follows,
followed by a copy of the protocol message lines.

Each line shows the old and the new object name at the tip of
the ref this push tries to update, in the way identical to how
the underlying "git push" protocol exchange tells the ref
updates to the receiving end (by recording the "old" object
name, the push certificate also protects against replaying). It
is expected that new command packet types other than the
old-new-refname kind will be included in push certificate in the
same way as would appear in the plain vanilla command packets in
unsigned pushes.

The user then is asked to sign this push certificate using GPG,
formatted in a way similar to how signed tag objects are signed,
and the result is sent to the other side (i.e. receive-pack).

In the protocol exchange, this step comes immediately before the
sender tells what the result of the push should be, which in
turn comes before it sends the pack data.

3. When the receiving end sees a push certificate, the certificate
is written out as a blob. The pre-receive hook can learn about
the certificate by checking GIT_PUSH_CERT environment variable,
which, if present, tells the object name of this blob, and make
the decision to allow or reject this push. Additionally, the
post-receive hook can also look at the certificate, which may be
a good place to log all the received certificates for later
audits.

Because a push certificate carry the same information as the usual
command packets in the protocol exchange, we can omit the latter
when a push certificate is in use and reduce the protocol overhead.
This however is not included in this patch to make it easier to
review (in other words, the series at this step should never be
released without the remainder of the series, as it implements an
interim protocol that will be incompatible with the final one).
As such, the documentation update for the protocol is left out of
this step.

gpg-interface: move parse_signature() to where it should be

Our signed-tag objects set the standard format used by Git to store
GPG-signed payload (i.e. the payload followed by its detached
signature) [*1*], and it made sense to have a helper to find the
boundary between the payload and its signature in tag.c back then.

Newer code added later to parse other kinds of objects that learned
to use the same format to store GPG-signed payload (e.g. signed
commits), however, kept using the helper from the same location.

Move it to gpg-interface; the helper is no longer about signed tag,
but it is how our code and data interact with GPG.

(i.e. the output code path) to commit.c for better reusability.

It was a good first step in the right direction, but still suffers
from a myopic view that commits will be the only thing we would ever
want to sign---we would actually want to be able to reuse it even
wider.

The function interprets what GPG said; gpg-interface is obviously a
better place. Move it there.

diff-tree: avoid lookup_unknown_object

We generally want to avoid lookup_unknown_object, because it
results in allocating more memory for the object than may be
strictly necessary.

In this case, it is used to check whether we have an
already-parsed object before calling parse_object, to save
us from reading the object from disk. Using lookup_object
would be fine for that purpose, but we can take it a step
further. Since this code was written, parse_object already
learned the "check lookup_object" optimization, so we can
simply call parse_object directly.

object_as_type: set commit indexJeff King Sun, 13 Jul 2014 06:42:12 +0000 (02:42 -0400)

object_as_type: set commit index

The point of the "index" field of struct commit is that
every allocated commit would have one. It is supposed to be
an invariant that whenever object->type is set to
OBJ_COMMIT, we have a unique index.

Commit 969eba6 (commit: push commit_index update into
alloc_commit_node, 2014-06-10) covered this case for
newly-allocated commits. However, we may also allocate an
"unknown" object via lookup_unknown_object, and only later
convert it to a commit. We must make sure that we set the
commit index when we switch the type field.

alloc: factor out commit indexJeff King Sun, 13 Jul 2014 06:42:08 +0000 (02:42 -0400)

alloc: factor out commit index

We keep a static counter to set the commit index on newly
allocated objects. However, since we also need to set the
index on any_objects which are converted to commits, let's
make the counter available as a public function.

While we're moving it, let's make sure the counter is
allocated as an unsigned integer to match the index field in
"struct commit".

add object_as_type helper for casting objectsJeff King Sun, 13 Jul 2014 06:42:03 +0000 (02:42 -0400)

add object_as_type helper for casting objects

When we call lookup_commit, lookup_tree, etc, the logic goes
something like:

1. Look for an existing object struct. If we don't have
one, allocate and return a new one.

2. Double check that any object we have is the expected
type (and complain and return NULL otherwise).

3. Convert an object with type OBJ_NONE (from a prior
call to lookup_unknown_object) to the expected type.

We can encapsulate steps 2 and 3 in a helper function which
checks whether we have the expected object type, converts
OBJ_NONE as appropriate, and returns the object.

Not only does this shorten the code, but it also provides
one central location for converting OBJ_NONE objects into
objects of other types. Future patches will use that to
enforce type-specific invariants.

Since this is a refactoring, we would want it to behave
exactly as the current code. It takes a little reasoning to
see that this is the case:

- for lookup_{commit,tree,etc} functions, we are just
pulling steps 2 and 3 into a function that does the same
thing.

- for the call in peel_object, we currently only do step 3
(but we want to consolidate it with the others, as
mentioned above). However, step 2 is a noop here, as the
surrounding conditional makes sure we have OBJ_NONE
(which we want to keep to avoid an extraneous call to
sha1_object_info).

- for the call in lookup_commit_reference_gently, we are
currently doing step 2 but not step 3. However, step 3
is a noop here. The object we got will have just come
from deref_tag, which must have figured out the type for
each object in order to know when to stop peeling.
Therefore the type will never be OBJ_NONE.

parse_object_buffer: do not set object type

The only way that "obj" can be non-NULL is if it came from
one of the lookup_* functions. These functions always ensure
that the object has the expected type (and return NULL
otherwise), so there is no need for us to set the type.

move setting of object->type to alloc_* functionsJeff King Sun, 13 Jul 2014 06:41:55 +0000 (02:41 -0400)

move setting of object->type to alloc_* functions

The "struct object" type implements basic object
polymorphism. Individual instances are allocated as
concrete types (or as a union type that can store any
object), and a "struct object *" can be cast into its real
type after examining its "type" enum. This means it is
dangerous to have a type field that does not match the
allocation (e.g., setting the type field of a "struct blob"
to "OBJ_COMMIT" would mean that a reader might read past the
allocated memory).

In most of the current code this is not a problem; the first
thing we do after allocating an object is usually to set its
type field by passing it to create_object. However, the
virtual commits we create in merge-recursive.c do not ever
get their type set. This does not seem to have caused
problems in practice, though (presumably because we always
pass around a "struct commit" pointer and never even look at
the type).

We can fix this oversight and also make it harder for future
code to get it wrong by setting the type directly in the
object allocation functions.

This will also make it easier to fix problems with commit
index allocation, as we know that any object allocated by
alloc_commit_node will meet the invariant that an object
with an OBJ_COMMIT type field will have a unique index
number.

alloc: write out allocator definitionsJeff King Sun, 13 Jul 2014 06:41:51 +0000 (02:41 -0400)

alloc: write out allocator definitions

Because the allocator functions for tree, blobs, etc are all
very similar, we originally used a macro to avoid repeating
ourselves. Since the prior commit, though, the heavy lifting
is done by an inline helper function. The macro does still
save us a few lines, but at some readability cost. It
obfuscates the function definitions (and makes them hard to
find via grep).

Much worse, though, is the fact that it isn't used
consistently for all allocators. Somebody coming later may
be tempted to modify DEFINE_ALLOCATOR, but they would miss
alloc_commit_node, which is treated specially.

Let's just drop the macro and write everything out
explicitly.

alloc.c: remove the alloc_raw_commit_node() functionRamsay Jones Sun, 13 Jul 2014 06:41:41 +0000 (02:41 -0400)

alloc.c: remove the alloc_raw_commit_node() function

In order to encapsulate the setting of the unique commit index, commit
969eba63 ("commit: push commit_index update into alloc_commit_node",
10-06-2014) introduced a (logically private) intermediary allocator
function. However, this function (alloc_raw_commit_node()) was declared
as a public function, which undermines its entire purpose.

Introduce an inline function, alloc_node(), which implements the main
logic of the allocator used by DEFINE_ALLOCATOR, and redefine the macro
in terms of the new function. In addition, use the new function in the
implementation of the alloc_commit_node() allocator, rather than the
intermediary allocator, which can now be removed.

Noticed by sparse ("symbol 'alloc_raw_commit_node' was not declared.
Should it be static?").

apply: avoid possible bogus pointer

When parsing "index" lines from a git-diff, we look for a
space followed by the mode. If we don't have a space, then
we set our pointer to the end-of-line. However, we don't
double-check that our end-of-line pointer is valid (e.g., if
we got a truncated diff input), which could lead to some
wrap-around pointer arithmetic.

In most cases this would probably get caught by our "40 <
len" check later in the function, but to be on the safe
side, let's just use strchrnul to treat end-of-string the
same as end-of-line.

fix memory leak parsing core.commentchar

When we see the core.commentchar config option, we extract
the string with git_config_string, which does two things:

1. It complains via config_error_nonbool if there is no
string value.

2. It makes a copy of the string.

Since we immediately parse the string into its
single-character value, we only care about (1). And in fact
(2) is a detriment, as it means we leak the copy. Instead,
let's just check the pointer value ourselves, and parse
directly from the const string we already have.

A call to "dwim_ref(name, len, flags, &ref)" will allocate a

not consistently free it in all code paths, leading to small

Documentation: fix missing text for rev-parse --verify

The caret (^) is used as a markup symbol in AsciiDoc. Due to the
inability of AsciiDoc to parse a line containing an unmatched caret, it
omitted the line from the output, resulting in the man page missing the
end of a sentence. Escape this caret so that the man page ends up with
the complete text.

replace: check mergetags when using --graft

When using --graft, with a mergetag in the original
commit, we should check that the commit pointed to by
the mergetag is still a parent of then new commit we
create, otherwise the mergetag could be misleading.

If the commit pointed to by the mergetag is no more
a parent of the new commit, we could remove the
mergetag, but in this case there is a good chance
that the title or other elements of the commit might
also be misleading. So let's just error out and
suggest to use --edit instead on the commit.

replace: remove signature when using --graft

It could be misleading to keep a signature in a
replacement commit, so let's remove it.

Note that there should probably be a way to sign
the replacement commit created when using --graft,
but this can be dealt with in another commit or
patch series.

contrib: add convert-grafts-to-replace-refs.sh

This patch adds into contrib/ an example script to convert
grafts from an existing grafts file into replace refs using
the new --graft option of "git replace".

While at it let's mention this new script in the
"git replace" documentation for the --graft option.

replace: add --graft option

The usage string for this option is:

git replace [-f] --graft <commit> [<parent>...]

First we create a new commit that is the same as <commit>
except that its parents are [<parents>...]

Then we create a replace ref that replace <commit> with
the commit we just created.

With this new option, it should be straightforward to
convert grafts to replace refs.
