* http.postbuffer: allow full range of ssize_t valuesDavid Turner2017-04-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Unfortunately, in order to push some large repos where a server does not support chunked encoding, the http postbuffer must sometimes exceed two gigabytes. On a 64-bit system, this is OK: we just malloc a larger buffer. This means that we need to use CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE_LARGE to set the buffer size.

This is convenient, but it creates opportunities for malicious servers to create confusing situations. For instance, imagine Alice is a git user with access to a private repository on Bob's server. Mallory runs her own server and wants to access objects from Bob's repository. Mallory may try a few tricks that involve asking Alice to clone from her, build on top, and then push the result: 1. Mallory may simply redirect all fetch requests to Bob's server. Git will transparently follow those redirects and fetch Bob's history, which Alice may believe she got from Mallory. The subsequent push seems like it is just feeding Mallory back her own objects, but is actually leaking Bob's objects. There is nothing in git's output to indicate that Bob's repository was involved at all. The downside (for Mallory) of this attack is that Alice will have received Bob's entire repository, and is likely to notice that when building on top of it. 2. If Mallory happens to know the sha1 of some object X in Bob's repository, she can instead build her own history that references that object. She then runs a dumb http server, and Alice's client will fetch each object individually. When it asks for X, Mallory redirects her to Bob's server. The end result is that Alice obtains objects from Bob, but they may be buried deep in history. Alice is less likely to notice. Both of these attacks are fairly hard to pull off. There's a social component in getting Mallory to convince Alice to work with her. Alice may be prompted for credentials in accessing Bob's repository (but not always, if she is using a credential helper that caches). Attack (1) requires a certain amount of obliviousness on Alice's part while making a new commit. Attack (2) requires that Mallory knows a sha1 in Bob's repository, that Bob's server supports dumb http, and that the object in question is loose on Bob's server. But we can probably make things a bit more obvious without any loss of functionality. This patch does two things to that end. First, when we encounter a whole-repo redirect during the initial ref discovery, we now inform the user on stderr, making attack (1) much more obvious. Second, the decision to follow redirects is now configurable. The truly paranoid can set the new http.followRedirects to false to avoid any redirection entirely. But for a more practical default, we will disallow redirects only after the initial ref discovery. This is enough to thwart attacks similar to (2), while still allowing the common use of redirects at the repository level. Since c93c92f30 (http: update base URLs when we see redirects, 2013-09-28) we re-root all further requests from the redirect destination, which should generally mean that no further redirection is necessary. As an escape hatch, in case there really is a server that needs to redirect individual requests, the user can set http.followRedirects to "true" (and this can be done on a per-server basis via http.*.followRedirects config).

* | http: support sending custom HTTP headersJohannes Schindelin2016-04-27
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We introduce a way to send custom HTTP headers with all requests. This allows us, for example, to send an extra token from build agents for temporary access to private repositories. (This is the use case that triggered this patch.) This feature can be used like this: git -c http.extraheader='Secret: sssh!' fetch $URL $REF Note that `curl_easy_setopt(..., CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, ...)` takes only a single list, overriding any previous call. This means we have to collect _all_ of the headers we want to use into a single list, and feed it to cURL in one shot. Since we already unconditionally set a "pragma" header when initializing the curl handles, we can add our new headers to that list. For callers which override the default header list (like probe_rpc), we provide `http_copy_default_headers()` so they can do the same trick.

* | http: use credential API to handle proxy authenticationKnut Franke2016-01-26
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the only way to pass proxy credentials to curl is by including them in the proxy URL. Usually, this means they will end up on disk unencrypted, one way or another (by inclusion in ~/.gitconfig, shell profile or history). Since proxy authentication often uses a domain user, credentials can be security sensitive; therefore, a safer way of passing credentials is desirable. If the configured proxy contains a username but not a password, query the credential API for one. Also, make sure we approve/reject proxy credentials properly. For consistency reasons, add parsing of http_proxy/https_proxy/all_proxy environment variables, which would otherwise be evaluated as a fallback by curl. Without this, we would have different semantics for git configuration and environment variables.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A HTTP server is permitted to return a non-range response to a HTTP range request (and Apache httpd in fact does this in some cases). While libcurl knows how to correctly handle this (by skipping bytes before and after the requested range), it only turns on this handling if it is aware that a range request is being made. By manually setting the range header instead of using CURLOPT_RANGE, we were hiding the fact that this was a range request from libcurl. This could cause corruption.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We currently don't reuse http connections when fetching via the smart-http protocol. This is bad because the TCP handshake introduces latency, and especially because SSL connection setup may be non-trivial. We can fix it by consistently using curl's "multi" interface. The reason is rather complicated: Our http code has two ways of being used: queuing many "slots" to be fetched in parallel, or fetching a single request in a blocking manner. The parallel code is built on curl's "multi" interface. Most of the single-request code uses http_request, which is built on top of the parallel code (we just feed it one slot, and wait until it finishes). However, one could also accomplish the single-request scheme by avoiding curl's multi interface entirely and just using curl_easy_perform. This is simpler, and is used by post_rpc in the smart-http protocol. It does work to use the same curl handle in both contexts, as long as it is not at the same time. However, internally curl may not share all of the cached resources between both contexts. In particular, a connection formed using the "multi" code will go into a reuse pool connected to the "multi" object. Further requests using the "easy" interface will not be able to reuse that connection. The smart http protocol does ref discovery via http_request, which uses the "multi" interface, and then follows up with the "easy" interface for its rpc calls. As a result, we make two HTTP connections rather than reusing a single one. We could teach the ref discovery to use the "easy" interface. But it is only once we have done this discovery that we know whether the protocol will be smart or dumb. If it is dumb, then our further requests, which want to fetch objects in parallel, will not be able to reuse the same connection. Instead, this patch switches post_rpc to build on the parallel interface, which means that we use it consistently everywhere. It's a little more complicated to use, but since we have the infrastructure already, it doesn't add any code; we can just factor out the relevant bits from http_request.

We already handle returning other information via the slot_results struct; let's add a flag to check the available auth. Note that older versions of curl did not support this, so we simply return 0 (something like "-1" would be worse, as the value is a bitflag and we might accidentally set a flag). This is sufficient for the callers planned in this series, who only trigger some optional behavior if particular bits are set, and can live with a fake "no bits" answer.

* | http: update base URLs when we see redirectsJeff King2013-10-14

It would be nice to remember this redirect and short-cut further requests for two reasons: 1. It's more efficient. Otherwise we spend an extra http round-trip to the server for each subsequent request, just to get redirected. 2. If we end up with an http 401 and are going to ask for credentials, it is to feed them to the redirect target. If the redirect is an http->https upgrade, this means our credentials may be provided on the http leg, just to end up redirected to https. And if the redirect crosses server boundaries, then curl will drop the credentials entirely as it follows the redirect. However, it, it is not enough to simply record the effective URL we saw and use that for subsequent requests. We were originally fed a "base" url like: http://example.com/foo.git and we want to figure out what the new base is, even though the URLs we see may be: original: http://example.com/foo.git/info/refs effective: http://example.com/bar.git/info/refs Subsequent requests will not be for "info/refs", but for other paths relative to the base. We must ask the caller to pass in the original base, and we must pass the redirected base back to the caller (so that it can generate more URLs from it). Furthermore, we need to feed the new base to the credential code, so that requests to credential helpers (or to the user) match the URL we will be requesting. This patch teaches http_request_reauth to do this munging. Since it is the caller who cares about making more URLs, it seems at first glance that callers could simply check effective_url themselves and handle it. However, since we need to update the credential struct before the second re-auth request, we have to do it inside http_request_reauth.

* | http: hoist credential request out of handle_curl_resultJeff King2013-10-14

When we see an HTTP 401, we do one of two things: 1. If we already had a filled-in credential, we mark it as rejected, and then return HTTP_NOAUTH to indicate to the caller that we failed. 2. If we didn't, then we ask for a new credential and tell the caller HTTP_REAUTH to indicate that they may want to try again. Rejecting in the first case makes sense; it is the natural result of the request we just made. However, prompting for more credentials in the second step does not always make sense. We do not know for sure that the caller is going to make a second request, and nor are we sure that it will be to the same URL. Logically, the prompt belongs not to the request we just finished, but to the request we are (maybe) about to make. In practice, it is very hard to trigger any bad behavior. Currently, if we make a second request, it will always be to the same URL (even in the face of redirects, because curl handles the redirects internally). And we almost always retry on HTTP_REAUTH these days. The one exception is if we are streaming a large RPC request to the server (e.g., a pushed packfile), in which case we cannot restart. It's extremely unlikely to see a 401 response at this stage, though, as we would typically have seen it when we sent a probe request, before streaming the data. This patch drops the automatic prompt out of case 2, and instead requires the caller to do it. This is a few extra lines of code, and the bug it fixes is unlikely to come up in practice. But it is conceptually cleaner, and paves the way for better handling of credentials across redirects. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com>
* | http: refactor options to http_get_*Jeff King2013-09-30

We now have a bitfield with multiple boolean options, as well as an optional strbuf for returning the content-type of the response. And a future patch in this series is going to add another strbuf option. Treating these as separate arguments has a few downsides: 1. Most call sites need to add extra NULLs and 0s for the options they aren't interested in. 2. The http_get_* functions are actually wrappers around 2 layers of low-level implementation functions. We have to pass these options through individually. 3. The http_get_strbuf wrapper learned these options, but nobody bothered to do so for http_get_file, even though it is backed by the same function that does understand the options. Let's consolidate the options into a single struct. For the common case of the default options, we'll allow callers to simply pass a NULL for the options struct. The resulting code is often a few lines longer, but it ends up being easier to read (and to change as we add new options, since we do not need to update each call site).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we get an http 401, we prompt for credentials and put them in our global credential struct. We also feed them to the curl handle that produced the 401, with the intent that they will be used on a retry. When the code was originally introduced in commit 42653c0, this was a necessary step. However, since dfa1725, we always feed our global credential into every curl handle when we initialize the slot with get_active_slot. So every further request already feeds the credential to curl. Moreover, accessing the slot here is somewhat dubious. After the slot has produced a response, we don't actually control it any more. If we are using curl_multi, it may even have been re-initialized to handle a different request. It just so happens that we will reuse the curl handle within the slot in such a case, and that because we only keep one global credential, it will be the one we want. So the current code is not buggy, but it is misleading. By cleaning it up, we can remove the slot argument entirely from handle_curl_result, making it much more obvious that slots should not be accessed after they are marked as finished.

* http: fix segfault in handle_curl_resultJeff King2012-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we create an http active_request_slot, we can set its "results" pointer back to local storage. The http code will fill in the details of how the request went, and we can access those details even after the slot has been cleaned up. Commit 8809703 (http: factor out http error code handling) switched us from accessing our local results struct directly to accessing it via the "results" pointer of the slot. That means we're accessing the slot after it has been marked as finished, defeating the whole purpose of keeping the results storage separate. Most of the time this doesn't matter, as finishing the slot does not actually clean up the pointer. However, when using curl's multi interface with the dumb-http revision walker, we might actually start a new request before handing control back to the original caller. In that case, we may reuse the slot, zeroing its results pointer, and leading the original caller to segfault while looking for its results inside the slot. Instead, we need to pass a pointer to our local results storage to the handle_curl_result function, rather than relying on the pointer in the slot struct. This matches what the original code did before the refactoring (which did not use a separate function, and therefore just accessed the results struct directly).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before commit 986bbc08, git was proactive about asking for http passwords. It assumed that if you had a username in your URL, you would also want a password, and asked for it before making any http requests. However, this could interfere with the use of .netrc (see 986bbc08 for details). And it was also unnecessary, since the http fetching code had learned to recognize an HTTP 401 and prompt the user then. Furthermore, the proactive prompt could interfere with the usage of .netrc (see 986bbc08 for details). Unfortunately, the http push-over-DAV code never learned to recognize HTTP 401, and so was broken by this change. This patch does a quick fix of re-enabling the "proactive auth" strategy only for http-push, leaving the dumb http fetch and smart-http as-is.

* | http_init: accept separate URL parameterJeff King2011-10-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The http_init function takes a "struct remote". Part of its initialization procedure is to look at the remote's url and grab some auth-related parameters. However, using the url included in the remote is: - wrong; the remote-curl helper may have a separate, unrelated URL (e.g., from remote.*.pushurl). Looking at the remote's configured url is incorrect. - incomplete; http-fetch doesn't have a remote, so passes NULL. So http_init never gets to see the URL we are actually going to use. - cumbersome; http-push has a similar problem to http-fetch, but actually builds a fake remote just to pass in the URL. Instead, let's just add a separate URL parameter to http_init, and all three callsites can pass in the appropriate information.

| * zlib: zlib can only process 4GB at a timeJunio C Hamano2011-06-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The size of objects we read from the repository and data we try to put into the repository are represented in "unsigned long", so that on larger architectures we can handle objects that weigh more than 4GB. But the interface defined in zlib.h to communicate with inflate/deflate limits avail_in (how many bytes of input are we calling zlib with) and avail_out (how many bytes of output from zlib are we ready to accept) fields effectively to 4GB by defining their type to be uInt. In many places in our code, we allocate a large buffer (e.g. mmap'ing a large loose object file) and tell zlib its size by assigning the size to avail_in field of the stream, but that will truncate the high octets of the real size. The worst part of this story is that we often pass around z_stream (the state object used by zlib) to keep track of the number of used bytes in input/output buffer by inspecting these two fields, which practically limits our callchain to the same 4GB limit. Wrap z_stream in another structure git_zstream that can express avail_in and avail_out in unsigned long. For now, just die() when the caller gives a size that cannot be given to a single zlib call. In later patches in the series, we would make git_inflate() and git_deflate() internally loop to give callers an illusion that our "improved" version of zlib interface can operate on a buffer larger than 4GB in one go.

* | Prompt for a username when an HTTP request 401sScott Chacon2010-04-01
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When an HTTP request returns a 401, Git will currently fail with a confusing message saying that it got a 401, which is not very descriptive. Currently if a user wants to use Git over HTTP, they have to use one URL with the username in the URL (e.g. "http://user@host.com/repo.git") for write access and another without the username for unauthenticated read access (unless they want to be prompted for the password each time). However, since the HTTP servers will return a 401 if an action requires authentication, we can prompt for username and password if we see this, allowing us to use a single URL for both purposes. This patch changes http_request to prompt for the username and password, then return HTTP_REAUTH so http_get_strbuf can try again. If it gets a 401 even when a user/pass is supplied, http_request will now return HTTP_NOAUTH which remote_curl can then use to display a more intelligent error message that is less confusing.

* Smart push over HTTP: client sideShawn O. Pearce2009-11-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The git-remote-curl backend detects if the remote server supports the git-receive-pack service, and if so, runs git-send-pack in a pipe to dump the command and pack data as a single POST request. The advertisements from the server that were obtained during the discovery are passed into git-send-pack before the POST request starts. This permits git-send-pack to operate largely unmodified. For smaller packs (those under 1 MiB) a HTTP/1.0 POST with a Content-Length is used, permitting interaction with any server. The 1 MiB limit is arbitrary, but is sufficent to fit most deltas created by human authors against text sources with the occasional small binary file (e.g. few KiB icon image). The configuration option http.postBuffer can be used to increase (or shink) this buffer if the default is not sufficient. For larger packs which cannot be spooled entirely into the helper's memory space (due to http.postBuffer being too small), the POST request requires HTTP/1.1 and sets "Transfer-Encoding: chunked". This permits the client to upload an unknown amount of data in one HTTP transaction without needing to pregenerate the entire pack file locally. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.
