Subject: do not write outside heap buffer
* parsing.c (substr): Handle tail < head.
This started when I noticed some cgit segfaults on savannah.gnu.org.
Finding the offending URL/commit and then constructing a stand-alone
reproducer were far more time-consuming than writing the actual patch.
The problem arises with a commit like this, in which the user name
part of the "Author" field is empty:
$ git log -1
commit 6f3f41d73393278f3ede68a2cb1e7a2a23fa3421
Author: <T at h.or>
Date: Mon Apr 23 22:29:16 2012 +0200
Here's what happens:
(this is due to buf=malloc(0); strncpy (buf, head, -1);
where "head" may point to plenty of attacker-specified non-NUL bytes,
so we can overwrite a zero-length heap buffer with arbitrary data)

This happens when tail - head == -1 here:
(parsing.c)
char *substr(const char *head, const char *tail)
{
char *buf;
buf = xmalloc(tail - head + 1);
strncpy(buf, head, tail - head);
buf[tail - head] = '\0';
return buf;
}
char *parse_user(char *t, char **name, char **email, unsigned long *date)
{
char *p = t;
int mode = 1;
while (p && *p) {
if (mode == 1 && *p == '<') {
*name = substr(t, p - 1);
t = p;
mode++;
} else if (mode == 1 && *p == '\n') {
The fix is to handle the case of (tail < head) before calling xmalloc,
thus avoiding passing an invalid value to xmalloc.
And here's the reproducer:
It was tricky to reproduce, because git prohibits use of an empty "name"
in a commit ID. To construct the offending commit, I had to resort to
using "git hash-object".
git init -q foo &&
( cd foo &&
echo a > j && git add . && git ci -q --author='au <T at h.or>' -m. . &&
h=$(git cat-file commit HEAD|sed 's/au //' \
|git hash-object -t commit -w --stdin) &&
git co -q -b test $h &&
git br -q -D master &&
git br -q -m test master)
git clone -q --bare foo foo.git
cat <<EOF > in
repo.url=foo.git
repo.path=foo.git
EOF
CGIT_CONFIG=in QUERY_STRING=url=foo.git valgrind ./cgit
The valgrind output is what you see above.
AFAICS, this is not exploitable thanks (ironically) to the use of strncpy.
Since that -1 translates to SIZE_MAX and this is strncpy, not only does it
copy whatever is in "head" (up to first NUL), but it also writes
SIZE_MAX - strlen(head) NUL bytes into the destination buffer, and that
latter is guaranteed to evoke a segfault. Since cgit is single-threaded,
AFAICS, there is no way that the buffer clobbering can be turned into
an exploit.
