From a8dee3ca610f5a1d403634492136c887f83b59d2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Schindelin Date: Tue, 1 Oct 2019 23:27:18 +0200 Subject: Disallow dubiously-nested submodule git directories Currently it is technically possible to let a submodule's git directory point right into the git dir of a sibling submodule. Example: the git directories of two submodules with the names `hippo` and `hippo/hooks` would be `.git/modules/hippo/` and `.git/modules/hippo/hooks/`, respectively, but the latter is already intended to house the former's hooks. In most cases, this is just confusing, but there is also a (quite contrived) attack vector where Git can be fooled into mistaking remote content for file contents it wrote itself during a recursive clone. Let's plug this bug. To do so, we introduce the new function `validate_submodule_git_dir()` which simply verifies that no git dir exists for any leading directories of the submodule name (if there are any). Note: this patch specifically continues to allow sibling modules names of the form `core/lib`, `core/doc`, etc, as long as `core` is not a submodule name. This fixes CVE-2019-1387.
