I already started to populate https://git-for-windows.github.io/ with a website modified from https://msysgit.github.io/.

To finalize this ticket, we need to

  • release a new installer generated using the new Git for Windows SDK
  • replace msysgit.github.io by a redirect to the new home page
  • notify the readers of the Git mailing lists of the switch
  • add a note to the msysGit repositories

Well, I just want to help, so I drew up a draft for an announcement message. Maybe you can take something from that.

[ANNOUNCE] Git for Windows Release 2.x

For reasons listed in [1] and [2] an investigation occurred to use a new
platform to build Git for Windows. There were several approaches to use
different platforms. Finally it was settled to use the MSYS2[3] platform
to build Git for Windows.

Thus a new Git for Windows SDK was developed based on MSYS2. This
development took quite a bit of time. But this journey is finally at an
end. Thanks to the hard work of some good developers there is now a
working Git for Windows SDK[4], a working Git for Windows Portable
Release[5] and a full Git for Windows installer[6]. All based on the 2.x
release of git.

There was also some change in the naming. The msysgit[7] project will be
superseded by the git-for-windows[8] project. This is now the place where
Git for Windows builds will be maintained.

Hopefully with another batch or two, we would be ready for -rc0
to close this cycle.

Is it possible to have the "replace msysgit.github.io by a redirect to the new home page" soon'ish? Cause https://git-for-windows.github.io/ is very hard to find on google.

Why, that would be premature. We do not have any official Git for Windows 2.x for end users out yet, just one release candidate.

All downloads on msysgit say preview. Is that so different?
However if you say that the current RC's not stable enough then don't switch.

Also the wandisco com wandisco-certified-git-binaries are not as good as your binaries ;) I love the copy and paste option.

git-for-windows-ci pushed a commit that referenced this issue Jul 27, 2017
Since commit 612c49e ("credential-cache: add tests for XDG
functionality", 17-03-2017), the cygwin build has been failing all the
new tests added by that commit. In particular, the 'git credential-cache
exit' command, as part of the test cleanup code, has been die-ing with
the message:

    fatal: read error from cache daemon: Connection reset by peer

As this git command is part of an && chain in a 'test_when_finished'
call, the remaining test cleanup is not happening, so practically all
remaining tests fail due to the unexpected presence of various socket
files and directories.

A simple means of getting the tests to pass, is to simply ignore the
failure of 'git credential-cache exit' command and make sure all test
cleanup is done. For example, the diff for test #12 would look like:

    diff --git a/t/t0301-credential-cache.sh b/t/t0301-credential-cache.sh
    index fd92533..87e5001bb 100755
    --- a/t/t0301-credential-cache.sh
    +++ b/t/t0301-credential-cache.sh
    @@ -17,7 +17,7 @@ helper_test cache

     test_expect_success 'socket defaults to ~/.cache/git/credential/socket' '
            test_when_finished "
    -               git credential-cache exit &&
    +               (git credential-cache exit || :) &&
                    rmdir -p .cache/git/credential/
            " &&
            test_path_is_missing "$HOME/.git-credential-cache" &&

... and so on for all remaining tests. While this does indeed make all
tests pass, it is not really a solution.

As an aside, while looking to debug this issue, I added the '--debug'
option to the invocation of the 'git-credential-cache--daemon' child
process (see the spawn_daemon() function). This not only fixed the tests,
but also stopped git-credential-cache exiting with a failure. Since the
only effect of passing '--debug' was to suppress the redirection of stderr
to the bit-bucket (/dev/null), I have no idea why this seems to fix the
protocol interaction between git and git-credential-cache--daemon. (I
did think that maybe it was a timing issue, so I tried sleeping before
reading from the daemon on Linux, but that only slowed down the tests!)

All descriptions of the "Connection reset by peer" error, that I could
find, say that the peer had destroyed the connection before the client
attempted to perform I/O on the connection. Since the daemon does not
respond to an "exit" message from the client, it just closes the socket
and deletes the socket file (via the atexit handler), it seems that the
expected result is for the client to receive an EOF.  Indeed, this is
exactly what seems to be happening on Linux. Also a comment in
credential-cache--daemon.c reads:

    else if (!strcmp(action.buf, "exit")) {
            /*
             * It's important that we clean up our socket first, and then
             * signal the client only once we have finished the cleanup.
             * Calling exit() directly does this, because we clean up in
             * our atexit() handler, and then signal the client when our
             * process actually ends, which closes the socket and gives
             * them EOF.
             */
            exit(0);
    }

On cygwin this is not the case, at least when not passing --debug to the
daemon, and the read following the "exit" gets an error with errno set
to ECONNRESET.

In order to suppress the fatal exit in this case, check the read error
for an ECONNRESET and return as if no data was read from the daemon.
This effectively converts an ECONNRESET into an EOF.

write_commit_graph initialises topo_levels using init_topo_level_slab(),
next it calls compute_topological_levels() which can cause the slab to
grow, we therefore need to clear the slab again using
clear_topo_level_slab() when we're done.

First introduced in 72a2bfc (commit-graph: add a slab to store
topological levels, 2021-01-16).

Most of these pointers can safely be freed when cmd_clone() completes,
therefore we make sure to free them. The one exception is that we
have to UNLEAK(repo) because it can point either to argv[0], or a
malloc'd string returned by absolute_pathdup().

We also have to free(path) in the middle of cmd_clone(): later during
cmd_clone(), path is unconditionally overwritten with a different path,
triggering a leak. Freeing the first path immediately after use (but
only in the case where it contains data) seems like the cleanest
solution, as opposed to freeing it unconditionally before path is reused
for another path. This leak appears to have been introduced in:
  f38aa83 (use local cloning if insteadOf makes a local URL, 2014-07-17)

These leaks were found when running t0001 with LSAN, see also an excerpt
of the LSAN output below (the full list is omitted because it's far too
long, and mostly consists of indirect leakage of members of the refs we
are freeing).

Make sure that we release the temporary strbuf during dwim_branch() for
all codepaths (and not just for the early return).

This leak appears to have been introduced in:
  f60a7b7 (worktree: teach "add" to check out existing branches, 2018-04-24)

Note that UNLEAK(branchname) is still needed: the returned result is
used in add(), and is stored in a pointer which is used to point at one
of:
  - a string literal ("HEAD")
  - member of argv (whatever the user specified in their invocation)
  - or our newly allocated string returned from dwim_branch()
Fixing the branchname leak isn't impossible, but does not seem
worthwhile given that add() is called directly from cmd_main(), and
cmd_main() returns immediately thereafter - UNLEAK is good enough.

This leak was found when running t0001 with LSAN, see also LSAN output

The primary goal of this change is to stop leaking init_db_template_dir.
This leak can happen because:
 1. git_init_db_config() allocates new memory into init_db_template_dir
    without first freeing the existing value.
 2. init_db_template_dir might already contain data, either because:
  2.1 git_config() can be invoked twice with this callback in a single
      process - at least 2 allocations are likely.
  2.2 A single git_config() allocation can invoke the callback multiple
      times for a given key (see further explanation in the function
      docs) - each of those calls will trigger another leak.

The simplest fix for the leak would be to free(init_db_template_dir)
before overwriting it. Instead we choose to convert to fetching
init.templatedir via git_config_get_value() as that is more explicit,
more efficient, and avoids allocations (the returned result is owned by
the config cache, so we aren't responsible for freeing it).

If we remove init_db_template_dir, git_init_db_config() ends up being
responsible only for forwarding core.* config values to
platform_core_config(). However platform_core_config() already ignores
non-core.* config values, so we can safely remove git_init_db_config()
and invoke git_config() directly with platform_core_config() as the
callback.

The platform_core_config forwarding was originally added in:
  2878533 (mingw: respect core.hidedotfiles = false in git-init again, 2019-03-11
And I suspect the potential for a leak existed since the original
implementation of git_init_db_config in:
  90b4518 (Add `init.templatedir` configuration variable., 2010-02-17)

preprocess_options() allocates new strings for help messages for
OPTION_ALIAS. Therefore we also need to clean those help messages up
when freeing the returned options.

First introduced in:
  7c28058 (parse-options: teach "git cmd -h" to show alias as alias, 2020-03-16)

The preprocessed options themselves no longer contain any indication
that a given option is/was an alias: the easiest and fastest way to
figure it out is to look back at the original options. Alternatively we
could iterate over the alias_groups list - but that would require nested
looping and is likely to be a (little) less efficient.

As far as I can tell, parse_options() is only ever used once per
command, and the help messages are small - hence this leak has very
little impact.

This leak was found while running t0001. LSAN output can be found below:

Most of these pointers can safely be freed when cmd_clone() completes,
therefore we make sure to free them. The one exception is that we
have to UNLEAK(repo) because it can point either to argv[0], or a
malloc'd string returned by absolute_pathdup().

We also have to free(path) in the middle of cmd_clone(): later during
cmd_clone(), path is unconditionally overwritten with a different path,
triggering a leak. Freeing the first path immediately after use (but
only in the case where it contains data) seems like the cleanest
solution, as opposed to freeing it unconditionally before path is reused
for another path. This leak appears to have been introduced in:
  f38aa83 (use local cloning if insteadOf makes a local URL, 2014-07-17)

These leaks were found when running t0001 with LSAN, see also an excerpt
of the LSAN output below (the full list is omitted because it's far too
long, and mostly consists of indirect leakage of members of the refs we
are freeing).

Make sure that we release the temporary strbuf during dwim_branch() for
all codepaths (and not just for the early return).

This leak appears to have been introduced in:
  f60a7b7 (worktree: teach "add" to check out existing branches, 2018-04-24)

Note that UNLEAK(branchname) is still needed: the returned result is
used in add(), and is stored in a pointer which is used to point at one
of:
  - a string literal ("HEAD")
  - member of argv (whatever the user specified in their invocation)
  - or our newly allocated string returned from dwim_branch()
Fixing the branchname leak isn't impossible, but does not seem
worthwhile given that add() is called directly from cmd_main(), and
cmd_main() returns immediately thereafter - UNLEAK is good enough.

When "read_strategy_opts()" is called we may have populated the
"opts->strategy" before, so we'll need to free() it to avoid leaking
memory.

We populate it before because we cal get_replay_opts() from within
"rebase.c" with an already populated "opts", which we then copy. Then
if we're doing a "rebase -i" the sequencer API itself will promptly
clobber our alloc'd version of it with its own.

If this code is changed to do, instead of the added free() here a:

	if (opts->strategy)
		opts->strategy = xstrdup("another leak");

We get a couple of stacktraces from -fsanitize=leak showing how we
ended up clobbering the already allocated value, i.e.:

	Direct leak of 6 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:

This can be seen in e.g. the 4th test of
"t3404-rebase-interactive.sh".

In the larger picture the ownership of the "struct replay_opts" is
quite a mess, e.g. in this case rebase.c's static "get_replay_opts()"
function partially creates it, but nothing in rebase.c will free()
it. The structure is "mostly owned" by the sequencer API, but it also
expects to get these partially populated versions of it.

It would be better to have rebase keep track of what it allocated, and
free() that, and to pass that as a "const" to the sequencer API, which
would copy what it needs to its own version, and to free() that.

But doing so is a much larger change, and however messy the ownership
boundary is here is consistent with what we're doing already, so let's
just free() this to fix the leak.

There is an out-of-bounds read possible when parsing gitattributes that
have an attribute that is 2^31+1 bytes long. This is caused due to an
integer overflow when we assign the result of strlen(3P) to an `int`,
where we use the wrapped-around value in a subsequent call to
memcpy(3P). The following code reproduces the issue:

    blob=$(perl -e 'print "a" x 2147483649 . " attr"' | git hash-object -w --stdin)
    git update-index --add --cacheinfo 100644,$blob,.gitattributes

Fix this bug by using `size_t` instead to count the number of attributes
so that this value cannot reasonably overflow without running out of
memory before already.

When using a padding specifier in the pretty format passed to git-log(1)
we need to calculate the string length in several places. These string
lengths are stored in `int`s though, which means that these can easily
overflow when the input lengths exceeds 2GB. This can ultimately lead to
an out-of-bounds write when these are used in a call to memcpy(3P):

The pretty format can also be used in `git archive` operations via the
`export-subst` attribute. So this is what in our opinion makes this a
critical issue in the context of Git forges which allow to download an
archive of user supplied Git repositories.

Fix this vulnerability by using `size_t` instead of `int` to track the
string lengths. Add tests which detect this vulnerability when Git is
compiled with the address sanitizer.

With the `%>>(<N>)` pretty formatter, you can ask git-log(1) et al to
steal spaces. To do so we need to look ahead of the next token to see
whether there are spaces there. This loop takes into account ANSI
sequences that end with an `m`, and if it finds any it will skip them
until it finds the first space. While doing so it does not take into
account the buffer's limits though and easily does an out-of-bounds
read.

Add a test that hits this behaviour. While we don't have an easy way to
verify this, the test causes the following failure when run with
`SANITIZE=address`:

Luckily enough, this would only cause us to copy the out-of-bounds data
into the formatted commit in case we really had an ANSI sequence
preceding our buffer. So this bug likely has no security consequences.

Fix it regardless by not traversing past the buffer's start.

An out-of-bounds read can be triggered when parsing an incomplete
padding format string passed via `--pretty=format` or in Git archives
when files are marked with the `export-subst` gitattribute.

This bug exists since we have introduced support for truncating output
via the `trunc` keyword a7f01c6 (pretty: support truncating in %>, %<
and %><, 2013-04-19). Before this commit, we used to find the end of the
formatting string by using strchr(3P). This function returns a `NULL`
pointer in case the character in question wasn't found. The subsequent
check whether any character was found thus simply checked the returned
pointer. After the commit we switched to strcspn(3P) though, which only
returns the offset to the first found character or to the trailing NUL
byte. As the end pointer is now computed by adding the offset to the
start pointer it won't be `NULL` anymore, and as a consequence the check
doesn't do anything anymore.

The out-of-bounds data that is being read can in fact end up in the
formatted string. As a consequence, it is possible to leak memory
contents either by calling git-log(1) or via git-archive(1) when any of
the archived files is marked with the `export-subst` gitattribute.

Fix this bug by checking whether `end` points at the trailing NUL byte.
Add a test which catches this out-of-bounds read and which demonstrates
that we used to write out-of-bounds data into the formatted message.

The return type of both `utf8_strwidth()` and `utf8_strnwidth()` is
`int`, but we operate on string lengths which are typically of type
`size_t`. This means that when the string is longer than `INT_MAX`, we
will overflow and thus return a negative result.

This can lead to an out-of-bounds write with `--pretty=format:%<1)%B`
and a commit message that is 2^31+1 bytes long:

Now the proper fix for this would be to convert both functions to return
an `size_t` instead of an `int`. But given that this commit may be part
of a security release, let's instead do the minimal viable fix and die
in case we see an overflow.

Add a test that would have previously caused us to crash.

The issue exists because `size` is an output parameter from
`read_blob_data_from_index`, but it's only modified if
`read_blob_data_from_index` returns non-NULL. The read of `size` when
calling `read_attr_from_buf` unconditionally may read from an
uninitialized value. `read_attr_from_buf` checks that `buf` is non-NULL
before reading from `size`, but by then it's already too late: the
uninitialized read will have happened already. Furthermore, there's no
guarantee that the compiler won't reorder things so that it checks
`size` before checking `!buf`.

Make the call to `read_attr_from_buf` conditional on `buf` being
non-NULL, ensuring that `size` is not read if it's never set.

It was recently reported that concurrent reads and writes may cause the
reftable backend to segfault. The root cause of this is that we do not
properly keep track of reftable readers across reloads.

Suppose that you have a reftable iterator and then decide to reload the
stack while iterating through the iterator. When the stack has been
rewritten since we have created the iterator, then we would end up
discarding a subset of readers that may still be in use by the iterator.
The consequence is that we now try to reference deallocated memory,
which of course segfaults.

One way to trigger this is in t5616, where some background maintenance
jobs have been leaking from one test into another. This leads to stack
traces like the following one:

While it is somewhat awkward that the maintenance processes survive
tests in the first place, it is totally expected that reftables should
work alright with concurrent writers. Seemingly they don't.

The only underlying resource that we need to care about in this context
is the reftable reader, which is responsible for reading a single table

The incremental MIDX bitmap work was done prior to 9d4855e
(midx-write: fix leaking buffer, 2024-09-30), and causes test failures
in t5334 in a post-9d4855eef3 world.

The leak looks like:

    Direct leak of 264 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:

, and is a result of us not freeing the resources corresponding to the
bitmap's base layer, if one was present.

Rectify that leak by calling the newly-introduced free_bitmap_index()
function on the base layer to ensure that its resources are also freed.

This one is a little bit more curious. In t6112, we have a test that
exercises the `git rev-list --filter` option with invalid filters. We
execute git-rev-list(1) via `test_must_fail`, which means that we check
for leaks even though Git exits with an error code. This causes the
following leak:

    Direct leak of 27 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:

This leak is valid, as we call `die()` and do not clean up the memory at
all. But what's curious is that this is the only leak reported, because
we don't clean up any other allocated memory, either, and I have no idea
why the leak sanitizer treats this buffer specially.

In any case, we can work around the leak by shuffling things around a
bit. Instead of calling `gently_parse_list_objects_filter()` and dying
after we have modified the filter spec, we simply do so beforehand. Like
this we don't allocate the buffer in the error case, which makes the
reported leak go away.

It's not pretty, but it manages to make t6112 leak free.

This leak is valid, as we call `die()` and do not clean up the memory at
all. But what's curious is that this is the only leak reported, because
we don't clean up any other allocated memory, either, and I have no idea
why the leak sanitizer treats this buffer specially.

In any case, we can work around the leak by shuffling things around a
bit. Instead of calling `gently_parse_list_objects_filter()` and dying
after we have modified the filter spec, we simply do so beforehand. Like
this we don't allocate the buffer in the error case, which makes the
reported leak go away.

It's not pretty, but it manages to make t6112 leak free.

This one is a little bit more curious. In t6112, we have a test that
exercises the `git rev-list --filter` option with invalid filters. We
execute git-rev-list(1) via `test_must_fail`, which means that we check
for leaks even though Git exits with an error code. This causes the
following leak:

In 1b9e9be (csum-file.c: use unsafe SHA-1 implementation when
available, 2024-09-26) we have converted our `struct hashfile` to use
the unsafe SHA1 backend, which results in a significant speedup. One
needs to be careful with how to use that structure now though because
callers need to consistently use either the safe or unsafe variants of
SHA1, as otherwise one can easily trigger corruption.

As it turns out, we have one inconsistent usage in our tree because we
directly initialize `struct hashfile_checkpoint::ctx` with the safe
variant of SHA1, but end up writing to that context with the unsafe
ones. This went unnoticed so far because our CI systems do not exercise
different hash functions for these two backends, and consequently safe
and unsafe variants are equivalent. But when using SHA1DC as safe and
OpenSSL as unsafe backend this leads to a crash an t1050:

The very bottom of the stack being the `rehash()` method from
`hashmap.c` as called within the `name-hash` API made me look at where
these hashmaps were being used in the sparse index logic. These were
being copied across indexes, which seems dangerous. Indeed, clearing
these hashmaps and setting them as not initialized fixes the segfault.

The second commit is a response to a test failure that happens in
`t1092-sparse-checkout-compatibility.sh` where `git stash pop` starts to
fail because the underlying `git checkout-index` process fails due to
colliding files. Passing the `-f` flag appears to work, but it's unclear
why this name-hash change causes that change in behavior.

When trying to create a Unix socket in a path that exceeds the maximum
socket name length we try to first change the directory into the parent
folder before creating the socket to reduce the length of the name. When
this fails we error out of `unix_sockaddr_init()` with an error code,
which indicates to the caller that the context has not been initialized.
Consequently, they don't release that context.

This leads to a memory leak: when we have already populated the context
with the original directory that we need to chdir(3p) back into, but
then the chdir(3p) into the socket's parent directory fails, then we
won't release the original directory's path. The leak is exposed by
t0301, but only via Meson with `meson setup -Dsanitize=leak`:

    SUMMARY: LeakSanitizer: 5 byte(s) leaked in 1 allocation(s).

As the `branch` variable may contain a string constant obtained from
parsing command line arguments we cannot free the leaking variable
directly. Instead, introduce a new `branch_to_free` variable that only
ever gets assigned the allocated string and free that one to plug the
leak.

When trying to create a Unix socket in a path that exceeds the maximum
socket name length we try to first change the directory into the parent
folder before creating the socket to reduce the length of the name. When
this fails we error out of `unix_sockaddr_init()` with an error code,
which indicates to the caller that the context has not been initialized.
Consequently, they don't release that context.

This leads to a memory leak: when we have already populated the context
with the original directory that we need to chdir(3p) back into, but
then the chdir(3p) into the socket's parent directory fails, then we
won't release the original directory's path. The leak is exposed by
t0301, but only when running tests in a directory hierarchy whose path
is long enough to make the socket name length exceed the maximum socket
name length:

The very bottom of the stack being the `rehash()` method from
`hashmap.c` as called within the `name-hash` API made me look at where
these hashmaps were being used in the sparse index logic. These were
being copied across indexes, which seems dangerous. Indeed, clearing
these hashmaps and setting them as not initialized fixes the segfault.

The second commit is a response to a test failure that happens in
`t1092-sparse-checkout-compatibility.sh` where `git stash pop` starts to
fail because the underlying `git checkout-index` process fails due to
colliding files. Passing the `-f` flag appears to work, but it's unclear
why this name-hash change causes that change in behavior.

The very bottom of the stack being the `rehash()` method from
`hashmap.c` as called within the `name-hash` API made me look at where
these hashmaps were being used in the sparse index logic. These were
being copied across indexes, which seems dangerous. Indeed, clearing
these hashmaps and setting them as not initialized fixes the segfault.

The second commit is a response to a test failure that happens in
`t1092-sparse-checkout-compatibility.sh` where `git stash pop` starts to
fail because the underlying `git checkout-index` process fails due to
colliding files. Passing the `-f` flag appears to work, but it's unclear
why this name-hash change causes that change in behavior.

An internal customer reported a segfault when running `git
sparse-checkout set` with the `index.sparse` config enabled. I was
unable to reproduce it locally, but with their help we debugged into the
failing process and discovered the following stacktrace:

Commit 92f63d2 ("Cygwin 1.7 needs compat/regex", 2013-07-19) set
the NO_REGEX build variable because the platform regex library failed
some of the tests (t4018 and t4034), which passed just fine with the
compat library.

After some time (maybe a year or two), the platform library had been
updated (with an import from FreeBSD, I believe) and now passed the full
test-suite. This would be about the time of the v1.7 -> v2.0 transition
in 2015. I had a patch ready to send, but just didn't get around to
submitting it to the list. At some point in the interim, the official
cygwin git package used the autoconf build system, which sets the
NO_REGEX variable to use the platform regex library functions. The new
meson build system does likewise.

The cygwin platform regex library, in addition to now passing the tests
which formerly failed, now passes an 'test_expect_failure' test in the
t7815-grep-binary test file. In particular, test #12 'git grep .fi a'
which determines that the regex pattern '.' matches a NUL character.
The commit f96e567 ("grep: use REG_STARTEND for all matching if
available", 2010-05-22) added the test in question, but it does not
give any indication as to why the test was framed as an expected fail,
rather than a 'positive' test that the 'git grep' command fails to
match a NUL. Note that the previous test #11 was also originally
marked in that commit as a 'test_expect_failure', but was flipped to
an 'success' test in commit 7e36de5 ("t/t7008-grep-binary.sh: un-TODO
a test that needs REG_STARTEND", 2010-08-17).

In order to produce the same NO_REGEX configuration from autoconf, meson
and make, modify config.mak.uname to only set NO_REGEX for cygwin v1.7.
In addition, skip test t7815.12 on cygwin, by adding the !CYGWIN pre-
requisite to the test header, which (among other things) removes an
'...; please update test(s)' comment.
