| * signed push: allow stale nonce in stateless modeJunio C Hamano2014-09-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: fortify against replay attacksJunio C Hamano2014-09-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Hamano2014-09-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Hamano2014-09-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
| * receive-pack: GPG-validate push certificatesJunio C Hamano2014-09-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reusing the GPG signature check helpers we already have, verify the signature in receive-pack and give the results to the hooks via GIT_PUSH_CERT_{SIGNER,KEY,STATUS} environment variables. Policy decisions, such as accepting or rejecting a good signature by a key that is not fully trusted, is left to the hook and kept outside of the core.

| * push: the beginning of "git push --signed"Junio C Hamano2014-09-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Sometimes this is too much. Add the macro REALLOC_ARRAY, which only takes care of the latter three points and allows users to specfiy the number of items the array can store. It can increase and also decrease the size. Using the macro avoid duplicating the variable name and takes care of the item sizes automatically.

This happens because we may auto-spawn a daemon which is long-lived, and which keeps stderr open. We can solve this by redirecting the daemon's stderr to /dev/null once we are ready to go into our event loop. We would not want to do so before then, because we may want to report errors about the setup (e.g., failure to establish the listening socket). This does mean that we will not report errors we encounter for specific clients. That's acceptable, as such errors should be rare (e.g., clients sending buggy requests). However, we also provide an escape hatch: if you want to see these later messages, you can provide the "--debug" option to keep stderr open.

The output from "--date=iso" deviates from ISO 8601 in these ways: - a space instead of the `T` date/time delimiter - a space between time and time zone - no colon between hours and minutes of the time zone Add a strict ISO 8601 date format for displaying committer and author dates. Use the '%aI' and '%cI' format specifiers and add '--date=iso-strict' or '--date=iso8601-strict' date format names.

It would be useful if they could produce a repository that has a similar shape to its history and tree, but without leaking any information. This "anonymized" repository could then be shared with developers (assuming it still replicates the original problem). This patch implements an "--anonymize" option to fast-export, which generates a stream that can recreate such a repository. Producing a single stream makes it easy for the caller to verify that they are not leaking any useful information. You can get an overview of what will be shared by running a command like: git fast-export --anonymize --all | perl -pe 's/\d+/X/g' | sort -u | less which will show every unique line we generate, modulo any numbers (each anonymized token is assigned a number, like "User 0", and we replace it consistently in the output). In addition to anonymizing, this produces test cases that are relatively small (compared to the original repository) and fast to generate (compared to using filter-branch, or modifying the output of fast-export yourself). Here are numbers for git.git: $ time git fast-export --anonymize --all \ --tag-of-filtered-object=drop >output real 0m2.883s user 0m2.828s sys 0m0.052s $ gzip output $ ls -lh output.gz | awk '{print $5}' 2.9M Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

However, it can sometimes fail when pushing over http, because we have to spawn "git send-pack --stateless-rpc" to do the heavy lifting, and we pass each refspec on the command line. This can cause us to overflow the OS limits on the size of the command line for a large push. We can solve this by giving send-pack a --stdin option and using it from remote-curl. We already dealt with this on the fetch-pack side in 078b895 (fetch-pack: new --stdin option to read refs from stdin, 2012-04-02). The stdin option (and in particular, its use of packet-lines for stateless-rpc input) is modeled after that solution.
