# HG changeset patch # User FUJIWARA Katsunori # Date 2017-03-02 17:57:06 # Node ID e1d035905b2e36886267d1919f2807d5df84c52e # Parent dd2364f5180ab508034f35780bc65d18054277c1 similar: compare between actual file contents for exact identity Before this patch, similarity detection logic (for addremove and automv) depends entirely on SHA-1 digesting. But this causes incorrect rename detection, if: - removing file A and adding file B occur at same committing, and - SHA-1 hash values of file A and B are same This may prevent security experts from managing sample files for SHAttered issue in Mercurial repository, for example. https://security.googleblog.com/2017/02/announcing-first-sha1-collision.html https://shattered.it/ Hash collision itself isn't so serious for core repository functionality of Mercurial, described by mpm as below, though. https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/mpm/SHA1 This patch compares between actual file contents after hash comparison for exact identity. Even after this patch, SHA-1 is still used, because it is reasonable enough to quickly detect existence of "(almost) same" file. - replacing SHA-1 causes decreasing performance, and - replacement of it has ambiguity, yet Getting content of removed file (= rfctx.data()) at each exact comparison should be cheap enough, even though getting content of added one costs much. ======= ============== ===================== file fctx data() reads from ======= ============== ===================== removed filectx in-memory revlog data added workingfilectx storage ======= ============== ===================== diff --git a/mercurial/similar.py b/mercurial/similar.py --- a/mercurial/similar.py +++ b/mercurial/similar.py @@ -35,9 +35,13 @@ def _findexactmatches(repo, added, remov for i, fctx in enumerate(added): repo.ui.progress(_('searching for exact renames'), i + len(removed), total=numfiles, unit=_('files')) - h = hashlib.sha1(fctx.data()).digest() + adata = fctx.data() + h = hashlib.sha1(adata).digest() if h in hashes: - yield (hashes[h], fctx) + rfctx = hashes[h] + # compare between actual file contents for exact identity + if adata == rfctx.data(): + yield (rfctx, fctx) # Done repo.ui.progress(_('searching for exact renames'), None)
