I don't think this change is correct by itself. credential_ask_one calls git_prompt. That function in turn calls git_terminal_prompt, which returns a pointer to a static buffer (because it may be backed by the system getpass() implementation). So there is no leak there, and dropping the strdup would be bad (the call to ask for the password would overwrite the value we got for the username). However, git_prompt may also call do_askpass if GIT_ASKPASS is set, and here there is a leak, as we duplicate the buffer. To stop the leak, we need to first harmonize the do_askpass and git_terminal_prompt code paths to either both allocate, or both return a static buffer (and then either strdup or not in the caller, depending on which way we go). It looks like what I originally wrote was correct, as both code paths matched. But then I stupidly broke it with 31b49d9, which failed to notice the "static" specifier on the strbuf in do_askpass, and started using strbuf_detach. I think this is the simplest fix: -- >8 -- Subject: Revert "prompt: clean up strbuf usage" This reverts commit 31b49d9b653803e7c7fd18b21c8bdd86e3421668. That commit taught do_askpass to hand ownership of our buffer back to the caller rather than simply return a pointer into our internal strbuf. What it failed to notice, though, was that our internal strbuf is static, because we are trying to emulate the getpass() interface. By handing off ownership, we created a memory leak that cannot be solved. Sometimes git_prompt returns a static buffer from getpass() (or our smarter git_terminal_prompt wrapper), and sometimes it returns an allocated string from do_askpass.

By the way, you can see the breakage from your patch pretty easily by testing the terminal input. Disable any credential helper config you have, and then run: GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1 \ git ls-remote https://github.com/peff/ask-for-auth 2>&1 | perl -lne '/Authorization: Basic (.*)/ and print $1' | openssl base64 -d enter "myuser" and "mypass" respectively on the terminal. The result is that we send "mypass:mypass" to the server. And then double-free the result, which cases glibc to barf. I wondered why we did not see this breakage in test suite. My assumption was that it was simply because our test user has the same username and password. So I fixed that, but to my surprise we still did not detect the problem. The issue is that your patch does the right thing when GIT_ASKPASS is in use, and breaks only when the user types into the terminal. But the test suite, of course, always uses askpass because it cannot rely on accessing a terminal (we'd have to do some magic with lib-terminal, I think). So it doesn't detect the problem in your patch, but I wonder if it is worth applying the patch below anyway, as it makes the test suite slightly more robust. -- >8 -- Subject: use distinct username/password for http auth tests The httpd server we set up to test git's http client code knows about a single account, in which both the username and password are "user@host" (the unusual use of the "@" here is to verify that we handle the character correctly when URL escaped). This means that we may miss a certain class of errors in which the username and password are mixed up internally by git. We can make our tests more robust by having distinct values for the username and password. In addition to tweaking the server passwd file and the client URL, we must teach the "askpass" harness to accept multiple values. As a bonus, this makes the setup of some tests more obvious; when we are expecting git to ask only about the password, we can seed the username askpass response with a bogus value.

Thanks. I took a brief look at adding "real" terminal tests for the credential code using our test-terminal/lib-terminal.sh setup. Unfortunately, it falls short of what we need. test-terminal only handles stdout and stderr streams as fake terminals. We could pretty easily add stdin for input, as it uses fork() to work asynchronously. But the credential code does not actually read from stdin. It opens and reads from /dev/tty explicitly. So I think we'd have to actually fake setting up a controlling terminal. And that means magic with setsid() and ioctl(TIOCSCTTY), which in turn sounds like a portability headache. So it's definitely possible under Linux, and probably under most Unixes. But I'm not sure it's worth the effort, given that review already caught the potential bug here. Another option would be to instrument git_terminal_prompt with a mock-terminal interface (say, reading from a file specified in an environment variable). But I really hate polluting the code with test cruft, and it would not actually be testing an interesting segment of the code, anyway. -Peff ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

I would not be surprised if it did. Though it introduces its own portability issues, since we cannot depend on having it. But it is probably enough to just test_lazy_prereq EXPECT 'expect --version' or something. I dunno. I have never used expect, do not have it installed, and am not excited about introducing a new tool dependency. But if you want to explore it, be my guest. -Peff ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread
