Currently, remote-curl acts as a proxy and blindly forwards packets between an HTTP server and fetch-pack. In the case of a stateless RPC connection where the connection is terminated before the transaction is complete, remote-curl will blindly forward the packets before waiting on more input from fetch-pack. Meanwhile, fetch-pack will read the transaction and continue reading, expecting more input to continue the transaction. This results in a deadlock between the two processes. This can be seen in the following command which does not terminate: $ git -c protocol.version=2 clone https://github.com/git/git.git --shallow-since=20151012 Cloning into 'git'... whereas the v1 version does terminate as expected: $ git -c protocol.version=1 clone https://github.com/git/git.git --shallow-since=20151012 Cloning into 'git'... fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly Instead of blindly forwarding packets, make remote-curl insert a response end packet after proxying the responses from the remote server when using stateless_connect(). On the RPC client side, ensure that each response ends as described. A separate control packet is chosen because we need to be able to differentiate between what the remote server sends and remote-curl's control packets. By ensuring in the remote-curl code that a server cannot send response end packets, we prevent a malicious server from being able to perform a denial of service attack in which they spoof a response end packet and cause the described deadlock to happen.
