wireproto: check permissions when executing "batch" command (BC) (SEC)

For as long as the "batch" command has existed (introduced by
bd88561afb4b and first released as part of Mercurial 1.9), that command
(like most wire commands introduced after 2008) lacked an entry in
the hgweb permissions table. And since we don't verify permissions if
an entry is missing from the permissions table, this meant that
executing a command via "batch" would bypass all permissions
checks.

The security implications are significant: a Mercurial HTTP server
would allow writes via "batch" wire protocol commands as long as
the HTTP request were processed by Mercurial and the process running
the Mercurial HTTP server had write access to the repository. The
Mercurial defaults of servers being read-only and the various web.*
config options to define access control were bypassed.

In addition, "batch" could be used to exfiltrate data from servers
that were configured to not allow read access.

Both forms of permissions bypass could be mitigated to some extent
by using HTTP authentication. This would prevent HTTP requests from
hitting Mercurial's server logic. However, any authenticated request
would still be able to bypass permissions checks via "batch" commands.

The easiest exploit was to send "pushkey" commands via "batch" and
modify the state of bookmarks, phases, and obsolescence markers.
However, I suspect a well-crafted HTTP request could trick the server
into running the "unbundle" wire protocol command, effectively
performing a full `hg push` to create new changesets on the remote.

This commit plugs this gaping security hole by having the "batch"
command perform permissions checking on each sub-command that is
being batched. We do this by threading a permissions checking
callable all the way to the protocol handler. The threading is a
bit hacky from a code perspective. But it preserves API compatibility,
which is the proper thing to do on the stable branch.

One of the subtle things we do is assume that a command with an
undefined permission is a "push" command. This is the safest thing to
do from a security perspective: we don't want to take chances that
a command could perform a write even though the server is configured
to not allow writes.

As the test changes demonstrate, it is no longer possible to bypass
permissions via the "batch" wire protocol command.

.. bc::

   The "batch" wire protocol command now enforces permissions of
   each invoked sub-command. Wire protocol commands must define
   their operation type or the "batch" command will assume they
   can write data and will prevent their execution on HTTP servers
   unless the HTTP request method is POST, the server is configured
   to allow pushes, and the (possibly authenticated) HTTP user is
   authorized to perform a push.

editor
------

  $ cat >> pushbuffer.py <<EOF
  > def reposetup(ui, repo):
  >     repo.ui.pushbuffer(subproc=True)
  > EOF

  $ chg init editor
  $ cd editor

by default, system() should be redirected to the client:

  $ touch foo
  $ CHGDEBUG= HGEDITOR=cat chg ci -Am channeled --edit 2>&1 \
  > | egrep "HG:|run 'cat"
  chg: debug: * run 'cat "*"' at '$TESTTMP/editor' (glob)
  HG: Enter commit message.  Lines beginning with 'HG:' are removed.
  HG: Leave message empty to abort commit.
  HG: --
  HG: user: test
  HG: branch 'default'
  HG: added foo

but no redirection should be made if output is captured:

  $ touch bar
  $ CHGDEBUG= HGEDITOR=cat chg ci -Am bufferred --edit \
  > --config extensions.pushbuffer="$TESTTMP/pushbuffer.py" 2>&1 \
  > | egrep "HG:|run 'cat"
  [1]

check that commit commands succeeded:

  $ hg log -T '{rev}:{desc}\n'
  1:bufferred
  0:channeled

  $ cd ..

pager
-----

  $ cat >> fakepager.py <<EOF
  > import sys
  > for line in sys.stdin:
  >     sys.stdout.write('paged! %r\n' % line)
  > EOF

enable pager extension globally, but spawns the master server with no tty:

  $ chg init pager
  $ cd pager
  $ cat >> $HGRCPATH <<EOF
  > [extensions]
  > pager =
  > [pager]
  > pager = $PYTHON $TESTTMP/fakepager.py
  > EOF
  $ chg version > /dev/null
  $ touch foo
  $ chg ci -qAm foo

pager should be enabled if the attached client has a tty:

  $ chg log -l1 -q --config ui.formatted=True
  paged! '0:1f7b0de80e11\n'
  $ chg log -l1 -q --config ui.formatted=False
  0:1f7b0de80e11

chg waits for pager if runcommand raises

  $ cat > $TESTTMP/crash.py <<EOF
  > from mercurial import registrar
  > cmdtable = {}
  > command = registrar.command(cmdtable)
  > @command(b'crash')
  > def pagercrash(ui, repo, *pats, **opts):
  >     ui.write('going to crash\n')
  >     raise Exception('.')
  > EOF

  $ cat > $TESTTMP/fakepager.py <<EOF
  > from __future__ import absolute_import
  > import sys
  > import time
  > for line in iter(sys.stdin.readline, ''):
  >     if 'crash' in line: # only interested in lines containing 'crash'
  >         # if chg exits when pager is sleeping (incorrectly), the output
  >         # will be captured by the next test case
  >         time.sleep(1)
  >         sys.stdout.write('crash-pager: %s' % line)
  > EOF

  $ cat >> .hg/hgrc <<EOF
  > [extensions]
  > crash = $TESTTMP/crash.py
  > EOF

  $ chg crash --pager=on --config ui.formatted=True 2>/dev/null

server lifecycle
----------------

chg server should be restarted on code change, and old server will shut down
automatically. In this test, we use the following time parameters:

 - "sleep 1" to make mtime different
 - "sleep 2" to notice mtime change (polling interval is 1 sec)

set up repository with an extension:

  $ chg init extreload
  $ cd extreload
  $ touch dummyext.py
  $ cat <<EOF >> .hg/hgrc
  > [extensions]
  > dummyext = dummyext.py
  > EOF

isolate socket directory for stable result:

  $ OLDCHGSOCKNAME=$CHGSOCKNAME
  $ mkdir chgsock
  $ CHGSOCKNAME=`pwd`/chgsock/server

warm up server:

  $ CHGDEBUG= chg log 2>&1 | egrep 'instruction|start'
  chg: debug: * start cmdserver at $TESTTMP/extreload/chgsock/server.* (glob)

new server should be started if extension modified:

  $ sleep 1
  $ touch dummyext.py
  $ CHGDEBUG= chg log 2>&1 | egrep 'instruction|start'
  chg: debug: * instruction: unlink $TESTTMP/extreload/chgsock/server-* (glob)
  chg: debug: * instruction: reconnect (glob)
  chg: debug: * start cmdserver at $TESTTMP/extreload/chgsock/server.* (glob)

old server will shut down, while new server should still be reachable:

  $ sleep 2
  $ CHGDEBUG= chg log 2>&1 | (egrep 'instruction|start' || true)

socket file should never be unlinked by old server:
(simulates unowned socket by updating mtime, which makes sure server exits
at polling cycle)

  $ ls chgsock/server-*
  chgsock/server-* (glob)
  $ touch chgsock/server-*
  $ sleep 2
  $ ls chgsock/server-*
  chgsock/server-* (glob)

since no server is reachable from socket file, new server should be started:
(this test makes sure that old server shut down automatically)

  $ CHGDEBUG= chg log 2>&1 | egrep 'instruction|start'
  chg: debug: * start cmdserver at $TESTTMP/extreload/chgsock/server.* (glob)

shut down servers and restore environment:

  $ rm -R chgsock
  $ CHGSOCKNAME=$OLDCHGSOCKNAME
  $ cd ..
