Subject: git-daemon: timeout, eliminate double DWIM
X-Git-Tag: v0.99.8g~4
X-Git-Url: https://git.verplant.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b7080d851630606815a399a162c5b20f2907f9e0;p=git.git

git-daemon: timeout, eliminate double DWIM

It turns out that not only did git-daemon do DWIM, but git-upload-pack
does as well.  This is bad; security checks have to be performed *after*
canonicalization, not before.

Additionally, the current git-daemon can be trivially DoSed by spewing
SYNs at the target port.

This patch adds a --strict option to git-upload-pack to disable all
DWIM, a --timeout option to git-daemon and git-upload-pack, and an
--init-timeout option to git-daemon (which is typically set to a much
lower value, since the initial request should come immediately from the
client.)
