[PATCH v4 0/2] negative-refspec: fix segfault on : refspec

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If remote.origin.push was set to ":", git segfaults during a push operation,
due to bad parsing logic in query_matches_negative_refspec. Per bisect, the
bug was introduced in: c0192df630 (refspec: add support for negative
refspecs, 2020-09-30)

We found this issue when rolling out git 2.29 at Dropbox - as several folks
had "push = :" in their configuration. I based my diff off the master
branch, but also confirmed that it patches cleanly onto maint - if the
maintainers would like to also fix the segfault on 2.29

Update since Patch series V1:

 * Handled matching refspec explicitly
 * Added testing for "+:" case
 * Added comment explaining how the two loops work together

Update since Patch series V2

 * style suggestion in remote.c
 * Use test_config
 * Add test for a case with a matching refspec + negative refspec
 * Fix test_config to work with --add
 * Updated commit message to describe what git is told to do instead of
   segfaulting

Update since Patch series V3

 * Removed commit modifying test_config
 * Remove segfault-related comments in test
 * Consolidate the three tests to two tests (1st and 3rd test overlapped in
   functionality)
 * Base the patch series on the maint branch - since the bug affects 2.29.2

Appreciate the reviews from Junio and Eric! Happy Holidays!

          Tell git to handle matching refspec by adding the needle to the

          match anything as src.
