subrepo: disable git and svn subrepos by default (BC) (SEC)
We have a security issue with git subrepos. I'm not sure if svn subrepo is
vulnerable, but it seems not 100% safe to allow writing arbitrary data into
a metadata directory. So for now, only hg subrepo is enabled by default.
Maybe we should improve the help to describe why git/svn subrepos are
disabled.
subrepo: extend config option to disable subrepos by type (SEC)
This allows us to minimize the behavior change introduced by the next patch.
I have no idea which config style is preferred in UX POV, but I decided to
get things done.
a) list: 'allowed = hg, git, svn'
b) sub option: 'allowed.hg = True' or 'allowed:hg = True'
c) per-type action: 'hg = allow', 'git = abort'
subrepo: add config option to reject any subrepo operations (SEC)
This is an alternative workaround for the
issue5730.
Perhaps this is the simplest way of disabling subrepo operations. It does
nothing clever, but just aborts if Mercurial starts accessing to a subrepo.
I think Greg's patch is more useful since it allows us to at least check
out the parent repository. However, that would be confusing if the default
is flipped to checkout=False and subrepos are silently ignored.
I don't like the config name 'allowed', but I couldn't get any better name.
subrepo: disallow symlink traversal across subrepo mount point (SEC)
It wasn't easy to extend the pathauditor to check symlink traversal across
subrepos because pathauditor._checkfs() rejects a directory having ".hg"
directory. That's why I added the explicit islink() check.
No idea if this patch is necessary after we've fixed the
issue5730 by
splitting submerge() into planning and execution phases.
tests: show symlink traversal across subrepo mount point (SEC)
Also adds a couple of tests where the auditor does work as expected.
share: move config item declarations into core
These config items control share behavior that is implemented in core.
Since the functionality is implemented in core, extensions may
leverage it.
Mozilla has one such extension. And, it needs to access share.pool.
Before this patch, a devel warning regarding accessing an unregistered
config option would be issued unless the share extension were loaded.
Moving the registration of the config options to core fixes this.
