Recently, a vulnerability was reported that can lead to an out-of-bounds
write when reading an unreasonably large gitattributes file. The root
cause of this error are multiple integer overflows in different parts of
the code when there are either too many lines, when paths are too long,
when attribute names are too long, or when there are too many attributes
declared for a pattern.
As all of these are related to size, it seems reasonable to restrict the
size of the gitattributes file via git-fsck(1). This allows us to both
stop distributing known-vulnerable objects via common hosting platforms
that have fsck enabled, and users to protect themselves by enabling the
`fetch.fsckObjects` config.
There are basically two checks:
1. We verify that size of the gitattributes file is smaller than
100MB.
2. We verify that the maximum line length does not exceed 2048
bytes.
With the preceding commits, both of these conditions would cause us to
either ignore the complete gitattributes file or blob in the first case,
or the specific line in the second case. Now with these consistency
checks added, we also grow the ability to stop distributing such files
in the first place when `receive.fsckObjects` is enabled.

In `fsck_finish()` we check all blobs for consistency that we have found
during the tree walk, but that haven't yet been checked. This is only
required for gitmodules right now, but will also be required for a new
check for gitattributes.
Pull out a function `fsck_blobs()` that allows the caller to check a set
of blobs for consistency.

In general, we don't need to validate blob contents as they are opaque
blobs about whose content Git doesn't need to care about. There are some
exceptions though when blobs are linked into trees so that they would be
interpreted by Git. We only have a single such check right now though,
which is the one for gitmodules that has been added in the context of
CVE-2018-11235.
Now we have found another vulnerability with gitattributes that can lead
to out-of-bounds writes and reads. So let's refactor `fsck_blob()` so
that it is more extensible and can check different types of blobs.

Both the padding and wrapping formatting directives allow the caller to
specify an integer that ultimately leads to us adding this many chars to
the result buffer. As a consequence, it is trivial to e.g. allocate 2GB
of RAM via a single formatting directive and cause resource exhaustion
on the machine executing this logic. Furthermore, it is debatable
whether there are any sane usecases that require the user to pad data to
2GB boundaries or to indent wrapped data by 2GB.
Restrict the input sizes to 16 kilobytes at a maximum to limit the
amount of bytes that can be requested by the user. This is not meant
as a fix because there are ways to trivially amplify the amount of
data we generate via formatting directives; the real protection is
achieved by the changes in previous steps to catch and avoid integer
wraparound that causes us to under-allocate and access beyond the
end of allocated memory reagions. But having such a limit
significantly helps fuzzing the pretty format, because the fuzzer is
otherwise quite fast to run out-of-memory as it discovers these
formatters.

In `strbuf_utf8_replace`, we preallocate the destination buffer and then
use `memcpy` to copy bytes into it at computed offsets. This feels
rather fragile and is hard to understand at times. Refactor the code to
instead use `strbuf_add` and `strbuf_addstr` so that we can be sure that
there is no possibility to perform an out-of-bounds write.

In `strbuf_utf8_replace()`, we call `utf8_width()` to compute the width
of the current glyph. If the glyph is a control character though it can
be that `utf8_width()` returns `-1`, but because we assign this value to
a `size_t` the conversion will cause us to underflow. This bug can
easily be triggered with the following command:
$ git log --pretty='format:xxx%<|(1,trunc)%x10'
>From all I can see though this seems to be a benign underflow that has
no security-related consequences.
Fix the bug by using an `int` instead. When we see a control character,
we now copy it into the target buffer but don't advance the current
width of the string.

The return type of both `utf8_strwidth()` and `utf8_strnwidth()` is
`int`, but we operate on string lengths which are typically of type
`size_t`. This means that when the string is longer than `INT_MAX`, we
will overflow and thus return a negative result.
This can lead to an out-of-bounds write with `--pretty=format:%<1)%B`
and a commit message that is 2^31+1 bytes long:

Now the proper fix for this would be to convert both functions to return
an `size_t` instead of an `int`. But given that this commit may be part
of a security release, let's instead do the minimal viable fix and die
in case we see an overflow.
Add a test that would have previously caused us to crash.

The `utf8_strnwidth()` function calls `utf8_width()` in a loop and adds
its returned width to the end result. `utf8_width()` can return `-1`
though in case it reads a control character, which means that the
computed string width is going to be wrong. In the worst case where
there are more control characters than non-control characters, we may
even return a negative string width.
Fix this bug by treating control characters as having zero width.

The `utf8_strnwidth()` function accepts an optional string length as
input parameter. This parameter can either be set to `-1`, in which case
we call `strlen()` on the input. Or it can be set to a positive integer
that indicates a precomputed length, which callers typically compute by
calling `strlen()` at some point themselves.
The input parameter is an `int` though, whereas `strlen()` returns a
`size_t`. This can lead to implementation-defined behaviour though when
the `size_t` cannot be represented by the `int`. In the general case
though this leads to wrap-around and thus to negative string sizes,
which is sure enough to not lead to well-defined behaviour.
Fix this by accepting a `size_t` instead of an `int` as string length.
While this takes away the ability of callers to simply pass in `-1` as
string length, it really is trivial enough to convert them to instead
pass in `strlen()` instead.

The `%w(width,indent1,indent2)` formatting directive can be used to
rewrap text to a specific width and is designed after git-shortlog(1)'s
`-w` parameter. While the three parameters are all stored as `size_t`
internally, `strbuf_add_wrapped_text()` accepts integers as input. As a
result, the casted integers may overflow. As these now-negative integers
are later on passed to `strbuf_addchars()`, we will ultimately run into
implementation-defined behaviour due to casting a negative number back
to `size_t` again. On my platform, this results in trying to allocate
9000 petabyte of memory.
Fix this overflow by using `cast_size_t_to_int()` so that we reject
inputs that cannot be represented as an integer.

When a formatting directive has a `+` or ` ` after the `%`, then we add
either a line feed or space if the placeholder expands to a non-empty
string. In specific cases though this logic doesn't work as expected,
and we try to add the character even in the case where the formatting
directive is empty.
One such pattern is `%w(1)%+d%+w(2)`. `%+d` expands to reference names
pointing to a certain commit, like in `git log --decorate`. For a tagged
commit this would for example expand to `\n (tag: v1.0.0)`, which has a
leading newline due to the `+` modifier and a space added by `%d`. Now
the second wrapping directive will cause us to rewrap the text to
`\n(tag:\nv1.0.0)`, which is one byte shorter due to the missing leading
space. The code that handles the `+` magic now notices that the length
has changed and will thus try to insert a leading line feed at the
original posititon. But as the string was shortened, the original
position is past the buffer's boundary and thus we die with an error.
Now there are two issues here:
1. We check whether the buffer length has changed, not whether it
has been extended. This causes us to try and add the character
past the string boundary.
2. The current logic does not make any sense whatsoever. When the
string got expanded due to the rewrap, putting the separator into
the original position is likely to put it somewhere into the
middle of the rewrapped contents.
It is debatable whether `%+w()` makes any sense in the first place.
Strictly speaking, the placeholder never expands to a non-empty string,
and consequentially we shouldn't ever accept this combination. We thus
fix the bug by simply refusing `%+w()`.

An out-of-bounds read can be triggered when parsing an incomplete
padding format string passed via `--pretty=format` or in Git archives
when files are marked with the `export-subst` gitattribute.
This bug exists since we have introduced support for truncating output
via the `trunc` keyword a7f01c6b4d (pretty: support truncating in %>, %<
and %><, 2013-04-19). Before this commit, we used to find the end of the
formatting string by using strchr(3P). This function returns a `NULL`
pointer in case the character in question wasn't found. The subsequent
check whether any character was found thus simply checked the returned
pointer. After the commit we switched to strcspn(3P) though, which only
returns the offset to the first found character or to the trailing NUL
byte. As the end pointer is now computed by adding the offset to the
start pointer it won't be `NULL` anymore, and as a consequence the check
doesn't do anything anymore.
The out-of-bounds data that is being read can in fact end up in the
formatted string. As a consequence, it is possible to leak memory
contents either by calling git-log(1) or via git-archive(1) when any of
the archived files is marked with the `export-subst` gitattribute.

With the `%>>(<N>)` pretty formatter, you can ask git-log(1) et al to
steal spaces. To do so we need to look ahead of the next token to see
whether there are spaces there. This loop takes into account ANSI
sequences that end with an `m`, and if it finds any it will skip them
until it finds the first space. While doing so it does not take into
account the buffer's limits though and easily does an out-of-bounds
read.
Add a test that hits this behaviour. While we don't have an easy way to
verify this, the test causes the following failure when run with
`SANITIZE=address`:

Luckily enough, this would only cause us to copy the out-of-bounds data
into the formatted commit in case we really had an ANSI sequence
preceding our buffer. So this bug likely has no security consequences.
Fix it regardless by not traversing past the buffer's start.

When using a padding specifier in the pretty format passed to git-log(1)
we need to calculate the string length in several places. These string
lengths are stored in `int`s though, which means that these can easily
overflow when the input lengths exceeds 2GB. This can ultimately lead to
an out-of-bounds write when these are used in a call to memcpy(3P):

The pretty format can also be used in `git archive` operations via the
`export-subst` attribute. So this is what in our opinion makes this a
critical issue in the context of Git forges which allow to download an
archive of user supplied Git repositories.
Fix this vulnerability by using `size_t` instead of `int` to track the
string lengths. Add tests which detect this vulnerability when Git is
compiled with the address sanitizer.

Similar as with the preceding commit, start ignoring gitattributes files
that are overly large to protect us against out-of-bounds reads and
writes caused by integer overflows. Unfortunately, we cannot just define
"overly large" in terms of any preexisting limits in the codebase.
Instead, we choose a very conservative limit of 100MB. This is plenty of
room for specifying gitattributes, and incidentally it is also the limit
for blob sizes for GitHub. While we don't want GitHub to dictate limits
here, it is still sensible to use this fact for an informed decision
given that it is hosting a huge set of repositories. Furthermore, over
at GitLab we scanned a subset of repositories for their root-level
attribute files. We found that 80% of them have a gitattributes file
smaller than 100kB, 99.99% have one smaller than 1MB, and only a single
repository had one that was almost 3MB in size. So enforcing a limit of
100MB seems to give us ample of headroom.
With this limit in place we can be reasonably sure that there is no easy
way to exploit the gitattributes file via integer overflows anymore.
Furthermore, it protects us against resource exhaustion caused by
allocating the in-memory data structures required to represent the
parsed attributes.

There are two different code paths to read gitattributes: once via a
file, and once via the index. These two paths used to behave differently
because when reading attributes from a file, we used fgets(3P) with a
buffer size of 2kB. Consequentially, we silently truncate line lengths
when lines are longer than that and will then parse the remainder of the
line as a new pattern. It goes without saying that this is entirely
unexpected, but it's even worse that the behaviour depends on how the
gitattributes are parsed.
While this is simply wrong, the silent truncation saves us with the
recently discovered vulnerabilities that can cause out-of-bound writes
or reads with unreasonably long lines due to integer overflows. As the
common path is to read gitattributes via the worktree file instead of
via the index, we can assume that any gitattributes file that had lines
longer than that is already broken anyway. So instead of lifting the
limit here, we can double down on it to fix the vulnerabilities.
Introduce an explicit line length limit of 2kB that is shared across all
paths that read attributes and ignore any line that hits this limit
while printing a warning.

When reading attributes from a file we use fgets(3P) with a buffer size
of 2048 bytes. This means that as soon as a line exceeds the buffer size
we split it up into multiple parts and parse each of them as a separate
pattern line. This is of course not what the user intended, and even
worse the behaviour is inconsistent with how we read attributes from the
index.
Fix this bug by converting the code to use `strbuf_getline()` instead.
This will indeed read in the whole line, which may theoretically lead to
an out-of-memory situation when the gitattributes file is huge. We're
about to reject any gitattributes files larger than 100MB in the next
commit though, which makes this less of a concern.

When parsing an attributes line, we need to allocate an array that holds
all attributes specified for the given file pattern. The calculation to
determine the number of bytes that need to be allocated was prone to an
overflow though when there was an unreasonable amount of attributes.
Harden the allocation by instead using the `st_` helper functions that
cause us to die when we hit an integer overflow.

Attributes have a field that tracks the position in the `all_attrs`
array they're stored inside. This field gets set via `hashmap_get_size`
when adding the attribute to the global map of attributes. But while the
field is of type `int`, the value returned by `hashmap_get_size` is an
`unsigned int`. It can thus happen that the value overflows, where we
would now dereference teh `all_attrs` array at an out-of-bounds value.
We do have a sanity check for this overflow via an assert that verifies
the index matches the new hashmap's size. But asserts are not a proper
mechanism to detect against any such overflows as they may not in fact
be compiled into production code.
Fix this by using an `unsigned int` to track the index and convert the
assert to a call `die()`.

The `struct attr_stack` tracks the stack of all patterns together with
their attributes. When parsing a gitattributes file that has more than
2^31 such patterns though we may trigger multiple out-of-bounds reads on
64 bit platforms. This is because while the `num_matches` variable is an
unsigned integer, we always use a signed integer to iterate over them.
I have not been able to reproduce this issue due to memory constraints
on my systems. But despite the out-of-bounds reads, the worst thing that
can seemingly happen is to call free(3P) with a garbage pointer when
calling `attr_stack_free()`.
Fix this bug by using unsigned integers to iterate over the array. While
this makes the iteration somewhat awkward when iterating in reverse, it
is at least better than knowingly running into an out-of-bounds read.
While at it, convert the call to `ALLOC_GROW` to use `ALLOC_GROW_BY`
instead.

It is possible to trigger an integer overflow when parsing attribute
names when there are more than 2^31 of them for a single pattern. This
can either lead to us dying due to trying to request too many bytes:

git update-index --add --cacheinfo 100644,$blob,.gitattributes

Fix this bug by using `size_t` instead to count the number of attributes

It is possible to trigger an integer overflow when parsing attribute
names that are longer than 2^31 bytes because we assign the result of
strlen(3P) to an `int` instead of to a `size_t`. This can lead to an
abort in vsnprintf(3P) with the following reproducer:
blob=$(perl -e 'print "A " . "B"x2147483648 . "\n"' | git hash-object -w --stdin)
git update-index --add --cacheinfo 100644,$blob,.gitattributes
git check-attr --all path
BUG: strbuf.c:400: your vsnprintf is broken (returned -1)
But furthermore, assuming that the attribute name is even longer than
that, it can cause us to silently truncate the attribute and thus lead
to wrong results.
Fix this integer overflow by using a `size_t` instead. This fixes the
silent truncation of attribute names, but it only partially fixes the
BUG we hit: even though the initial BUG is fixed, we can still hit a BUG
when parsing invalid attribute lines via `report_invalid_attr()`.
This is due to an underlying design issue in vsnprintf(3P) which only
knows to return an `int`, and thus it may always overflow with large
inputs. This issue is benign though: the worst that can happen is that
the error message is misreported to be either truncated or too long, but
due to the buffer being NUL terminated we wouldn't ever do an
out-of-bounds read here.

The function `git_attr_internal()` is called to upsert attributes into
the global map. And while all callers pass a `size_t`, the function
itself accepts an `int` as the attribute name's length. This can lead to
an integer overflow in case the attribute name is longer than `INT_MAX`.
Now this overflow seems harmless as the first thing we do is to call
`attr_name_valid()`, and that function only succeeds in case all chars
in the range of `namelen` match a certain small set of chars. We thus
can't do an out-of-bounds read as NUL is not part of that set and all
strings passed to this function are NUL-terminated. And furthermore, we
wouldn't ever read past the current attribute name anyway due to the
same reason. And if validation fails we will return early.
On the other hand it feels fragile to rely on this behaviour, even more
so given that we pass `namelen` to `FLEX_ALLOC_MEM()`. So let's instead
just do the correct thing here and accept a `size_t` as line length.

This function improperly uses an int to represent the number of entries
in the resulting argument array. This allows a malicious actor to
intentionally overflow the return value, leading to arbitrary heap
writes.
Because the resulting argv array is typically passed to execv(), it may
be possible to leverage this attack to gain remote code execution on a
victim machine. This was almost certainly the case for certain
configurations of git-shell until the previous commit limited the size
of input it would accept. Other calls to split_cmdline() are typically
limited by the size of argv the OS is willing to hand us, so are
similarly protected.
So this is not strictly fixing a known vulnerability, but is a hardening
of the function that is worth doing to protect against possible unknown
vulnerabilities.
One approach to fixing this would be modifying the signature of
`split_cmdline()` to look something like:
int split_cmdline(char *cmdline, const char ***argv, size_t *argc);
Where the return value of `split_cmdline()` is negative for errors, and
zero otherwise. If non-NULL, the `*argc` pointer is modified to contain
the size of the `**argv` array.
But this implies an absurdly large `argv` array, which more than likely
larger than the system's argument limit. So even if split_cmdline()
allowed this, it would fail immediately afterwards when we called
execv(). So instead of converting all of `split_cmdline()`'s callers to
work with `size_t` types in this patch, instead pursue the minimal fix
here to prevent ever returning an array with more than INT_MAX entries
in it.

When git-shell is run in interactive mode (which must be enabled by
creating $HOME/git-shell-commands), it reads commands from stdin, one
per line, and executes them.
We read the commands with git_read_line_interactively(), which uses a
strbuf under the hood. That means we'll accept an input of arbitrary
size (limited only by how much heap we can allocate). That creates two
problems:
- the rest of the code is not prepared to handle large inputs. The
most serious issue here is that split_cmdline() uses "int" for most
of its types, which can lead to integer overflow and out-of-bounds
array reads and writes. But even with that fixed, we assume that we
can feed the command name to snprintf() (via xstrfmt()), which is
stuck for historical reasons using "int", and causes it to fail (and
even trigger a BUG() call).
- since the point of git-shell is to take input from untrusted or
semi-trusted clients, it's a mild denial-of-service. We'll allocate
as many bytes as the client sends us (actually twice as many, since
we immediately duplicate the buffer).
We can fix both by just limiting the amount of per-command input we're
willing to receive.
We should also fix split_cmdline(), of course, which is an accident
waiting to happen, but that can come on top. Most calls to
split_cmdline(), including the other one in git-shell, are OK because
they are reading from an OS-provided argv, which is limited in practice.
This patch should eliminate the immediate vulnerabilities.
I picked 4MB as an arbitrary limit. It's big enough that nobody should
ever run into it in practice (since the point is to run the commands via
exec, we're subject to OS limits which are typically much lower). But
it's small enough that allocating it isn't that big a deal.
The code is mostly just swapping out fgets() for the strbuf call, but we
have to add a few niceties like flushing and trimming line endings. We
could simplify things further by putting the buffer on the stack, but
4MB is probably a bit much there. Note that we'll _always_ allocate 4MB,
which for normal, non-malicious requests is more than we would before
this patch. But on the other hand, other git programs are happy to use
96MB for a delta cache. And since we'd never touch most of those pages,
on a lazy-allocating OS like Linux they won't even get allocated to
actual RAM.
The ideal would be a version of strbuf_getline() that accepted a maximum
value. But for a minimal vulnerability fix, let's keep things localized
and simple. We can always refactor further on top.
The included test fails in an obvious way with ASan or UBSan (which
notice the integer overflow and out-of-bounds reads). Without them, it
fails in a less obvious way: we may segfault, or we may try to xstrfmt()
a long string, leading to a BUG(). Either way, it fails reliably before
this patch, and passes with it. Note that we don't need an EXPENSIVE
prereq on it. It does take 10-15s to fail before this patch, but with
the new limit, we fail almost immediately (and the perl process
generating 2GB of data exits via SIGPIPE).

An earlier patch discussed and fixed a scenario where Git could be used
as a vector to exfiltrate sensitive data through a Docker container when
a potential victim clones a suspicious repository with local submodules
that contain symlinks.
That security hole has since been plugged, but a similar one still
exists. Instead of convincing a would-be victim to clone an embedded
submodule via the "file" protocol, an attacker could convince an
individual to clone a repository that has a submodule pointing to a
valid path on the victim's filesystem.
For example, if an individual (with username "foo") has their home
directory ("/home/foo") stored as a Git repository, then an attacker
could exfiltrate data by convincing a victim to clone a malicious
repository containing a submodule pointing at "/home/foo/.git" with
`--recurse-submodules`. Doing so would expose any sensitive contents in
stored in "/home/foo" tracked in Git.
For systems (such as Docker) that consider everything outside of the
immediate top-level working directory containing a Dockerfile as
inaccessible to the container (with the exception of volume mounts, and
so on), this is a violation of trust by exposing unexpected contents in
the working copy.
To mitigate the likelihood of this kind of attack, adjust the "file://"
protocol's default policy to be "user" to prevent commands that execute
without user input (including recursive submodule initialization) from
taking place by default.

When cloning a repository with `--local`, Git relies on either making a
hardlink or copy to every file in the "objects" directory of the source
repository. This is done through the callpath `cmd_clone()` ->
`clone_local()` -> `copy_or_link_directory()`.
The way this optimization works is by enumerating every file and
directory recursively in the source repository's `$GIT_DIR/objects`
directory, and then either making a copy or hardlink of each file. The
only exception to this rule is when copying the "alternates" file, in
which case paths are rewritten to be absolute before writing a new
"alternates" file in the destination repo.
One quirk of this implementation is that it dereferences symlinks when
cloning. This behavior was most recently modified in 36596fd2df (clone:
better handle symlinked files at .git/objects/, 2019-07-10), which
attempted to support `--local` clones of repositories with symlinks in
their objects directory in a platform-independent way.
Unfortunately, this behavior of dereferencing symlinks (that is,
creating a hardlink or copy of the source's link target in the
destination repository) can be used as a component in attacking a
victim by inadvertently exposing the contents of file stored outside of
the repository.
Take, for example, a repository that stores a Dockerfile and is used to
build Docker images. When building an image, Docker copies the directory
contents into the VM, and then instructs the VM to execute the
Dockerfile at the root of the copied directory. This protects against
directory traversal attacks by copying symbolic links as-is without
dereferencing them.
That is, if a user has a symlink pointing at their private key material
(where the symlink is present in the same directory as the Dockerfile,
but the key itself is present outside of that directory), the key is
unreadable to a Docker image, since the link will appear broken from the
container's point of view.
This behavior enables an attack whereby a victim is convinced to clone a
repository containing an embedded submodule (with a URL like
"file:///proc/self/cwd/path/to/submodule") which has a symlink pointing
at a path containing sensitive information on the victim's machine. If a
user is tricked into doing this, the contents at the destination of
those symbolic links are exposed to the Docker image at runtime.
One approach to preventing this behavior is to recreate symlinks in the
destination repository. But this is problematic, since symlinking the
objects directory are not well-supported. (One potential problem is that
when sharing, e.g. a "pack" directory via symlinks, different writers
performing garbage collection may consider different sets of objects to
be reachable, enabling a situation whereby garbage collecting one
repository may remove reachable objects in another repository).
Instead, prohibit the local clone optimization when any symlinks are
present in the `$GIT_DIR/objects` directory of the source repository.
Users may clone the repository again by prepending the "file://" scheme
to their clone URL, or by adding the `--no-local` option to their `git
clone` invocation.
The directory iterator used by `copy_or_link_directory()` must no longer
dereference symlinks (i.e., it *must* call `lstat()` instead of `stat()`
in order to discover whether or not there are symlinks present). This has
no bearing on the overall behavior, since we will immediately `die()` on
encounter a symlink.
Note that t5604.33 suggests that we do support local clones with
symbolic links in the source repository's objects directory, but this
was likely unintentional, or at least did not take into consideration
the problem with sharing parts of the objects directory with symbolic
links at the time. Update this test to reflect which options are and
aren't supported.

8959555cee (setup_git_directory(): add an owner check for the top-level
directory, 2022-03-02), adds a function to check for ownership of
repositories using a directory that is representative of it, and ways to
add exempt a specific repository from said check if needed, but that
check didn't account for owership of the gitdir, or (when used) the
gitfile that points to that gitdir.
An attacker could create a git repository in a directory that they can
write into but that is owned by the victim to work around the fix that
was introduced with CVE-2022-24765 to potentially run code as the
victim.
An example that could result in privilege escalation to root in *NIX would
be to set a repository in a shared tmp directory by doing (for example):
$ git -C /tmp init
To avoid that, extend the ensure_valid_ownership function to be able to
check for all three paths.
This will have the side effect of tripling the number of stat() calls
when a repository is detected, but the effect is expected to be likely
minimal, as it is done only once during the directory walk in which Git
looks for a repository.
Additionally make sure to resolve the gitfile (if one was used) to find
the relevant gitdir for checking.
While at it change the message printed on failure so it is clear we are
referring to the repository by its worktree (or gitdir if it is bare) and
not to a specific directory.

A previous workaround that was documented in the tests is no longer
needed so it has been removed together with its specially crafted
prerequisite.

Add a support library that provides one function that can be used
to run a "scriplet" of commands through sudo and that helps invoking
sudo in the slightly awkward way that is required to ensure it doesn't
block the call (if shell was allowed as tested in the prerequisite)
and it doesn't run the command through a different shell than the one
we intended.
Add additional negative tests as suggested by Junio and that use a
new workspace that is owned by root.
Document a regression that was introduced by previous commits where
root won't be able anymore to access directories they own unless
SUDO_UID is removed from their environment.
The tests document additional ways that this new restriction could
be worked around and the documentation explains why it might be instead
considered a feature, but a "fix" is planned for a future change.

bdc77d1d68 (Add a function to determine whether a path is owned by the
current user, 2022-03-02) checks for the effective uid of the running
process using geteuid() but didn't account for cases where that user was
root (because git was invoked through sudo or a compatible tool) and the
original uid that repository trusted for its config was no longer known,
therefore failing the following otherwise safe call:
guy@renard ~/Software/uncrustify $ sudo git describe --always --dirty
[sudo] password for guy:
fatal: unsafe repository ('/home/guy/Software/uncrustify' is owned by someone else)
Attempt to detect those cases by using the environment variables that
those tools create to keep track of the original user id, and do the
ownership check using that instead.
This assumes the environment the user is running on after going
privileged can't be tampered with, and also adds code to restrict that
the new behavior only applies if running as root, therefore keeping the
most common case, which runs unprivileged, from changing, but because of
that, it will miss cases where sudo (or an equivalent) was used to change
to another unprivileged user or where the equivalent tool used to raise
privileges didn't track the original id in a sudo compatible way.
Because of compatibility with sudo, the code assumes that uid_t is an
unsigned integer type (which is not required by the standard) but is used
that way in their codebase to generate SUDO_UID. In systems where uid_t
is signed, sudo might be also patched to NOT be unsigned and that might
be able to trigger an edge case and a bug (as described in the code), but
it is considered unlikely to happen and even if it does, the code would
just mostly fail safely, so there was no attempt either to detect it or
prevent it by the code, which is something that might change in the future,
based on expected user feedback.

Originally reported after release of v2.35.2 (and other maint branches)
for CVE-2022-24765 and blocking otherwise harmless commands that were
done using sudo in a repository that was owned by the user.
Add a new test script with very basic support to allow running git
commands through sudo, so a reproduction could be implemented and that
uses only `git status` as a proxy of the issue reported.
Note that because of the way sudo interacts with the system, a much
more complete integration with the test framework will require a lot
more work and that was therefore intentionally punted for now.
The current implementation requires the execution of a special cleanup
function which should always be kept as the last "test" or otherwise
the standard cleanup functions will fail because they can't remove
the root owned directories that are used. This also means that if
failures are found while running, the specifics of the failure might
not be kept for further debugging and if the test was interrupted, it
will be necessary to clean the working directory manually before
restarting by running:
$ sudo rm -rf trash\ directory.t0034-root-safe-directory/
The test file also uses at least one initial "setup" test that creates
a parallel execution directory under the "root" sub directory, which
should be used as top level directory for all repositories that are
used in this test file. Unlike all other tests the repository provided
by the test framework should go unused.
Special care should be taken when invoking commands through sudo, since
the environment is otherwise independent from what the test framework
setup and might have changed the values for HOME, SHELL and dropped
several relevant environment variables for your test. Indeed `git status`
was used as a proxy because it doesn't even require commits in the
repository to work and usually doesn't require much from the environment
to run, but a future patch will add calls to `git init` and that will
fail to honor the default branch name, unless that setting is NOT
provided through an environment variable (which means even a CI run
could fail that test if enabled incorrectly).
A new SUDO prerequisite is provided that does some sanity checking
to make sure the sudo command that will be used allows for passwordless
execution as root without restrictions and doesn't mess with git's
execution path. This matches what is provided by the macOS agents that
are used as part of GitHub actions and probably nowhere else.
Most of those characteristics make this test mostly only suitable for
CI, but it might be executed locally if special care is taken to provide
for all of them in the local configuration and maybe making use of the
sudo credential cache by first invoking sudo, entering your password if
needed, and then invoking the test with:
$ GIT_TEST_ALLOW_SUDO=YES ./t0034-root-safe-directory.sh
If it fails to run, then it means your local setup wouldn't work for the
test because of the configuration sudo has or other system settings, and
things that might help are to comment out sudo's secure_path config, and
make sure that the account you are using has no restrictions on the
commands it can run through sudo, just like is provided for the user in
the CI.
For example (assuming a username of marta for you) something probably
similar to the following entry in your /etc/sudoers (or equivalent) file:
marta ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

With the addition of the safe.directory in 8959555ce
(setup_git_directory(): add an owner check for the top-level directory,
2022-03-02) released in v2.35.2, we are receiving feedback from a
variety of users about the feature.
Some users have a very large list of shared repositories and find it
cumbersome to add this config for every one of them.
In a more difficult case, certain workflows involve running Git commands
within containers. The container boundary prevents any global or system
config from communicating `safe.directory` values from the host into the
container. Further, the container almost always runs as a different user
than the owner of the directory in the host.
To simplify the reactions necessary for these users, extend the
definition of the safe.directory config value to include a possible '*'
value. This value implies that all directories are safe, providing a
single setting to opt-out of this protection.
Note that an empty assignment of safe.directory clears all previous
values, and this is already the case with the "if (!value || !*value)"
condition.

It seems that nothing is ever checking to make sure the safe directories
in the configs actually have the key safe.directory, so some unrelated
config that has a value with a certain directory would also make it a
safe directory.

It is difficult to change the ownership on a directory in our test
suite, so insert a new GIT_TEST_ASSUME_DIFFERENT_OWNER environment
variable to trick Git into thinking we are in a differently-owned
directory. This allows us to test that the config is parsed correctly.
