* Allow cloning from repositories owned by another userbrian m. carlson2024-11-151-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Historically, Git has allowed users to clone from an untrusted repository, and we have documented that this is safe to do so: `upload-pack` tries to avoid any dangerous configuration options or hooks from the repository it's serving, making it safe to clone an untrusted directory and run commands on the resulting clone. However, this was broken by f4aa8c8bb1 ("fetch/clone: detect dubious ownership of local repositories", 2024-04-10) in an attempt to make things more secure. That change resulted in a variety of problems when cloning locally and over SSH, but it did not change the stated security boundary. Because the security boundary has not changed, it is safe to adjust part of the code that patch introduced. To do that and restore the previous functionality, adjust enter_repo to take two flags instead of one. The two bits are - ENTER_REPO_STRICT: callers that require exact paths (as opposed to allowing known suffixes like ".git", ".git/.git" to be omitted) can set this bit. Corresponds to the "strict" parameter that the flags word replaces. - ENTER_REPO_ANY_OWNER_OK: callers that are willing to run without ownership check can set this bit. The former is --strict-paths option of "git daemon". The latter is set only by upload-pack, which honors the claimed security boundary. Note that local clones across ownership boundaries require --no-local so that upload-pack is used. Document this fact in the manual page and provide an example. This patch was based on one written by Junio C Hamano. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* upload-pack: disable lazy-fetching by defaultJeff King2024-04-171-0/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The upload-pack command tries to avoid trusting the repository in which it's run (e.g., by not running any hooks and not using any config that contains arbitrary commands). But if the server side of a fetch or a clone is a partial clone, then either upload-pack or its child pack-objects may run a lazy "git fetch" under the hood. And it is very easy to convince fetch to run arbitrary commands. The "server" side can be a local repository owned by someone else, who would be able to configure commands that are run during a clone with the current user's permissions. This issue has been designated CVE-2024-32004. The fix in this commit's parent helps in this scenario, as well as in related scenarios using SSH to clone, where the untrusted .git directory is owned by a different user id. But if you received one as a zip file, on a USB stick, etc, it may be owned by your user but still untrusted. This has been designated CVE-2024-32465. To mitigate the issue more completely, let's disable lazy fetching entirely during `upload-pack`. While fetching from a partial repository should be relatively rare, it is certainly not an unreasonable workflow. And thus we need to provide an escape hatch. This commit works by respecting a GIT_NO_LAZY_FETCH environment variable (to skip the lazy-fetch), and setting it in upload-pack, but only when the user has not already done so (which gives us the escape hatch). The name of the variable is specifically chosen to match what has already been added in 'master' via e6d5479e7a (git: extend --no-lazy-fetch to work across subprocesses, 2024-02-27). Since we're building this fix as a backport for older versions, we could cherry-pick that patch and its earlier steps. However, we don't really need the niceties (like a "--no-lazy-fetch" option) that it offers. By using the same name, everything should just work when the two are eventually merged, but here are a few notes: - the blocking of the fetch in e6d5479e7a is incomplete! It sets fetch_if_missing to 0 when we setup the repository variable, but that isn't enough. pack-objects in particular will call prefetch_to_pack() even if that variable is 0. This patch by contrast checks the environment variable at the lowest level before we call the lazy fetch, where we can be sure to catch all code paths. Possibly the setting of fetch_if_missing from e6d5479e7a can be reverted, but it may be useful to have. For example, some code may want to use that flag to change behavior before it gets to the point of trying to start the fetch. At any rate, that's all outside the scope of this patch. - there's documentation for GIT_NO_LAZY_FETCH in e6d5479e7a. We can live without that here, because for the most part the user shouldn't need to set it themselves. The exception is if they do want to override upload-pack's default, and that requires a separate documentation section (which is added here) - it would be nice to use the NO_LAZY_FETCH_ENVIRONMENT macro added by e6d5479e7a, but those definitions have moved from cache.h to environment.h between 2.39.3 and master. I just used the raw string literals, and we can replace them with the macro once this topic is merged to master. At least with respect to CVE-2024-32004, this does render this commit's parent commit somewhat redundant. However, it is worth retaining that commit as defense in depth, and because it may help other issues (e.g., symlink/hardlink TOCTOU races, where zip files are not really an interesting attack vector). The tests in t0411 still pass, but now we have _two_ mechanisms ensuring that the evil command is not run. Let's beef up the existing ones to check that they failed for the expected reason, that we refused to run upload-pack at all with an alternate user id. And add two new ones for the same-user case that both the restriction and its escape hatch. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
* fetch/clone: detect dubious ownership of local repositoriesJohannes Schindelin2024-04-171-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When cloning from somebody else's repositories, it is possible that, say, the `upload-pack` command is overridden in the repository that is about to be cloned, which would then be run in the user's context who started the clone. To remind the user that this is a potentially unsafe operation, let's extend the ownership checks we have already established for regular gitdir discovery to extend also to local repositories that are about to be cloned. This protection extends also to file:// URLs. The fixes in this commit address CVE-2024-32004. Note: This commit does not touch the `fetch`/`clone` code directly, but instead the function used implicitly by both: `enter_repo()`. This function is also used by `git receive-pack` (i.e. pushes), by `git upload-archive`, by `git daemon` and by `git http-backend`. In setups that want to serve repositories owned by different users than the account running the service, this will require `safe.*` settings to be configured accordingly. Also note: there are tiny time windows where a time-of-check-time-of-use ("TOCTOU") race is possible. The real solution to those would be to work with `fstat()` and `openat()`. However, the latter function is not available on Windows (and would have to be emulated with rather expensive low-level `NtCreateFile()` calls), and the changes would be quite extensive, for my taste too extensive for the little gain given that embargoed releases need to pay extra attention to avoid introducing inadvertent bugs.

* t0411: add tests for cloning from partial repoFilip Hejsek2024-04-171-0/+60
Cloning from a partial repository must not fetch missing objects into the partial repository, because that can lead to arbitrary code execution. Add a couple of test cases, pretending to the `upload-pack` command (and to that command only) that it is working on a repository owned by someone else.
