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.

debugsetparents: remove redundant invocations of begin/endparentchange Method localrepo.setparents invokes begin/endparentchange internally, so there is no need to invoke it explicitly in debugsetparents.

sslutil: add docstring to wrapsocket() Security should not be opaque.

sslutil: remove indentation in wrapsocket declaration It is no longer needed because we have a single code path.

sslutil: always use SSLContext Now that we have a fake SSLContext instance, we can unify the code paths for wrapping sockets to always use the SSLContext APIs. Because this is security code, I've retained the try..except to make the diff easier to read. It will be removed in the next patch. I took the liberty of updating the inline docs about supported protocols and how the constants work because this stuff is important and needs to be explicitly documented.

sslutil: move _canloaddefaultcerts logic We now have a newer block accessing SSLContext. Let's move this code to make subsequent refactorings of the former block easier.

sslutil: implement SSLContext class Python <2.7.9 doesn't have a ssl.SSLContext class. In this patch, we implement the interface to the class so we can have a unified code path for all supported versions of Python. This is similar to the approach that urllib3 takes.
