Subject: [PATCH] sideband: mask control characters
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
The output of `git clone` is a vital component for understanding what
has happened when things go wrong. However, these logs are partially
under the control of the remote server (via the "sideband", which
typically contains what the remote `git pack-objects` process sends to
`stderr`), and is currently not sanitized by Git.
This makes Git susceptible to ANSI escape sequence injection (see
CWE-150, https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/150.html), which allows
attackers to corrupt terminal state, to hide information, and even to
insert characters into the input buffer (i.e. as if the user had typed
those characters).
To plug this vulnerability, disallow any control character in the
sideband, replacing them instead with the common `^<letter/symbol>`
(e.g. `^[` for `\x1b`, `^A` for `\x01`).
There is likely a need for more fine-grained controls instead of using a
"heavy hammer" like this, which will be introduced subsequently.

sideband: introduce an "escape hatch" to allow control characters
The preceding commit fixed the vulnerability whereas sideband messages
(that are under the control of the remote server) could contain ANSI
escape sequences that would be sent to the terminal verbatim.
However, this fix may not be desirable under all circumstances, e.g.
when remote servers deliberately add coloring to their messages to
increase their urgency.
To help with those use cases, give users a way to opt-out of the
protections: `sideband.allowControlCharacters`.

sideband: do allow ANSI color sequences by default
The preceding two commits introduced special handling of the sideband
channel to neutralize ANSI escape sequences before sending the payload
to the terminal, and `sideband.allowControlCharacters` to override that
behavior.
However, some `pre-receive` hooks that are actively used in practice
want to color their messages and therefore rely on the fact that Git
passes them through to the terminal.
In contrast to other ANSI escape sequences, it is highly unlikely that
coloring sequences can be essential tools in attack vectors that mislead
Git users e.g. by hiding crucial information.
Therefore we can have both: Continue to allow ANSI coloring sequences to
be passed to the terminal, and neutralize all other ANSI escape
sequences.

sideband: default to allowControlCharacters=true
We don't want to change the default Git behaviour, just add the option
to filter control characters.
