sshpeer: check for safe ssh url (SEC)
Checking in the sshpeer for a rogue ssh:// urls seems like the right
place to do it (instead of whack-a-mole with pull, clone, push, etc).
ssh: ban any username@host or host that starts with - (SEC)
This paranoia probably isn't required, but it can't hurt either.
util: add utility method to check for bad ssh urls (SEC)
Our use of SSH has an exploit that will parse the first part of an url
blindly as a hostname. Prior to this set of security patches, a url
with '-oProxyCommand' could run arbitrary code on a user's machine. In
addition, at least on Windows, a pipe '|' can be abused to execute
arbitrary commands in a similar fashion.
We defend against this by checking ssh:// URLs and looking for a
hostname that starts with a - or contains a |.
When this happens, let's throw a big abort into the user's face so
that they can inspect what's going on.
pathauditor: disable cache of audited paths by default (
issue5628)
The initial attempt was to discard cache when appropriate, but it appears
to be error prone. We had to carefully inspect all places where audit() is
called e.g. without actually updating filesystem, before removing files and
directories, etc.
So, this patch disables the cache of audited paths by default, and enables
it only for the following cases:
- short-lived auditor objects
- repo.vfs, repo.svfs, and repo.cachevfs, which are managed directories
and considered sort of append-only (a file/directory would never be
replaced with a symlink)
There would be more cacheable vfs objects (e.g. mq.queue.opener), but I
decided not to inspect all of them in this patch. We can make them cached
later.
Benchmark result:
- using old clone of http://selenic.com/repo/linux-2.6/ (38319 files)
- on tmpfs
- run HGRCPATH=/dev/null hg up -q --time tip && hg up -q null
- try 4 times and take the last three results
