subrepo: set GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL to limit git clone protocols (SEC)...
subrepo: set GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL to limit git clone protocols (SEC) CVE-2016-3068 (1/1) Git's git-remote-ext remote helper provides an ext:: URL scheme that allows running arbitrary shell commands. This feature allows implementing simple git smart transports with a single shell shell command. However, git submodules could clone arbitrary URLs specified in the .gitmodules file. This was reported as CVE-2015-7545 and fixed in git v2.6.1. However, if a user directly clones a malicious ext URL, the git client will still run arbitrary shell commands. Mercurial is similarly effected. Mercurial allows specifying git repositories as subrepositories. Git ext:: URLs can be specified as Mercurial subrepositories allowing arbitrary shell commands to be run on `hg clone ...`. The Mercurial community would like to thank Blake Burkhart for reporting this issue. The description of the issue is copied from Blake's report. This commit changes submodules to pass the GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL env variable to git commands with the same list of allowed protocols that git submodule is using. When the GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL env variable is already set, we just pass it to git without modifications.

Mercurial supports several ways to specify individual revisions.
A plain integer is treated as a revision number. Negative integers are
treated as sequential offsets from the tip, with -1 denoting the tip,
-2 denoting the revision prior to the tip, and so forth.
A 40-digit hexadecimal string is treated as a unique revision
identifier.
A hexadecimal string less than 40 characters long is treated as a
unique revision identifier and is referred to as a short-form
identifier. A short-form identifier is only valid if it is the prefix
of exactly one full-length identifier.
Any other string is treated as a bookmark, tag, or branch name. A
bookmark is a movable pointer to a revision. A tag is a permanent name
associated with a revision. A branch name denotes the tipmost open branch head
of that branch - or if they are all closed, the tipmost closed head of the
branch. Bookmark, tag, and branch names must not contain the ":" character.
The reserved name "tip" always identifies the most recent revision.
The reserved name "null" indicates the null revision. This is the
revision of an empty repository, and the parent of revision 0.
The reserved name "." indicates the working directory parent. If no
working directory is checked out, it is equivalent to null. If an
uncommitted merge is in progress, "." is the revision of the first
parent.
