When writing files git-apply(1) initially makes sure that none of the
files it is about to create are behind a symlink:
```
$ git init repo
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/repo/.git/
$ cd repo/
$ ln -s dir symlink
$ git apply - <<EOF
diff --git a/symlink/file b/symlink/file
new file mode 100644
index 0000000..e69de29
EOF
error: affected file 'symlink/file' is beyond a symbolic link
```
This safety mechanism is crucial to ensure that we don't write outside
of the repository's working directory. It can be fooled though when the
patch that is being applied creates the symbolic link in the first
place, which can lead to writing files in arbitrary locations.
Fix this by checking whether the path we're about to create is
beyond a symlink or not. Tightening these checks like this should be
fine as we already have these precautions in Git as explained
above. Ideally, we should update the check we do up-front before
starting to reflect the computed changes to the working tree so that
we catch this case as well, but as part of embargoed security work,
adding an equivalent check just before we try to write out a file
should serve us well as a reasonable first step.
Digging back into history shows that this vulnerability has existed
since at least Git v2.9.0. As Git v2.8.0 and older don't build on my
system anymore I cannot tell whether older versions are affected, as
well.

When the "repo" member was added to "the_index" in [1] the
repo_read_index() was made to populate it, but the unpopulated
"the_index" variable didn't get the same treatment.
Let's do that in initialize_the_repository() when we set it up, and
likewise for all of the current callers initialized an empty "struct
index_state".
This simplifies code that needs to deal with "the_index" or a custom
"struct index_state", we no longer need to second-guess this part of
the "index_state" deep in the stack. A recent example of such
second-guessing is the "istate->repo ? istate->repo : the_repository"
code in [2]. We can now simply use "istate->repo".
We're doing this by making use of the INDEX_STATE_INIT() macro (and
corresponding function) added in [3], which now have mandatory "repo"
arguments.
Because we now call index_state_init() in repository.c's
initialize_the_repository() we don't need to handle the case where we
have a "repo->index" whose "repo" member doesn't match the "repo"
we're setting up, i.e. the "Complete the double-reference" code in
repo_read_index() being altered here. That logic was originally added
in [1], and was working around the lack of what we now have in
initialize_the_repository().
For "fsmonitor-settings.c" we can remove the initialization of a NULL
"r" argument to "the_repository". This was added back in [4], and was
needed at the time for callers that would pass us the "r" from an
"istate->repo". Before this change such a change to
"fsmonitor-settings.c" would segfault all over the test suite (e.g. in
t0002-gitfile.sh).
This change has wider eventual implications for
"fsmonitor-settings.c". The reason the other lazy loading behavior in
it is required (starting with "if (!r->settings.fsmonitor) ..." is
because of the previously passed "r" being "NULL".
I have other local changes on top of this which move its configuration
reading to "prepare_repo_settings()" in "repo-settings.c", as we could
now start to rely on it being called for our "r". But let's leave all
of that for now, and narrowly remove this particular part of the
lazy-loading.

Hopefully in some not so distant future, we'll get advantages from always
initializing the "repo" member of the "struct index_state". To make
that easier let's introduce an initialization macro & function.
The various ad-hoc initialization of the structure can then be changed
over to it, and we can remove the various "0" assignments in
discard_index() in favor of calling index_state_init() at the end.
While not strictly necessary, let's also change the CALLOC_ARRAY() of
various "struct index_state *" to use an ALLOC_ARRAY() followed by
index_state_init() instead.
We're then adding the release_index() function and converting some
callers (including some of these allocations) over to it if they
either won't need to use their "struct index_state" again, or are just
about to call index_state_init().

We take a ws_rule parameter, but have never looked at it since the

_could_ use it, but nobody has felt the need to do so for over a decade.
We could keep it around as reminder of what could be done, but the
comment serves that purpose. And in the meantime, it triggers
-Wunused-parameter.
So let's drop it, which in turn allows us to drop similar arguments
further up the callstack. I've left the comment intact. It does still

The apply code is not prepared to handle extremely large files. It uses
"int" in some places, and "unsigned long" in others.
This combination leads to unfortunate problems when switching between
the two types. Using "int" prevents us from handling large files, since
large offsets will wrap around and spill into small negative values,
which can result in wrong behavior (like accessing the patch buffer with
a negative offset).
Converting from "unsigned long" to "int" also has truncation problems
even on LLP64 platforms where "long" is the same size as "int", since
the former is unsigned but the latter is not.
To avoid potential overflow and truncation issues in `git apply`, apply
similar treatment as in dcd1742e56 (xdiff: reject files larger than
~1GB, 2015-09-24), where the xdiff code was taught to reject large
files for similar reasons.
The maximum size was chosen somewhat arbitrarily, but picking a value
just shy of a gigabyte allows us to double it without overflowing 2^31-1
(after which point our value would wrap around to a negative number).
To give ourselves a bit of extra margin, the maximum patch size is a MiB
smaller than a full GiB, which gives us some slop in case we allocate
"(records + 1) * sizeof(int)" or similar.
Luckily, the security implications of these conversion issues are
relatively uninteresting, because a victim needs to be convinced to
apply a malicious patch.

Since some callers may want to send warning messages to somewhere other

indicate when a merge of binary files has occurred. Message printing
probably does not belong in a "low-level merge" anyway.
This commit continues printing the message as-is, just from the callers
instead of within ll_merge(). Future changes will start handling the
message differently in the merge-ort codepath.
There was one special case here: the callers in rerere.c do NOT check
for and print such a message; since those code paths explicitly skip
over binary files, there is no reason to check for a return status of
LL_MERGE_BINARY_CONFLICT or print the related message.
Note that my methodology included first modifying ll_merge() to return
a struct, so that the compiler would catch all the callers for me and
ensure I had modified all of them. After modifying all of them, I then
changed the struct to an enum.

Certain invocations of "git apply --3way" will attempt threeway and
fail due to missing objects, even though git is able to fall back on
apply_fragments and apply the patch successfully with a return value
of 0. To fix, return early from try_threeway() in the following
cases:
- When the patch is a rename and no lines have changed. In this
case, "git diff" doesn't record the blob info, so 3way is neither
possible nor necessary.
- When the patch is an addition and there is no add/add conflict,
i.e. direct_to_threeway is false. In this case, threeway will
fail since the preimage is not in cache, but isn't necessary
anyway since there is no conflict.
This fixes a few unecessary error messages when applying these kinds
of patches with --3way.
It also fixes a reported issue where applying a concatenation of
several git produced patches will fail when those patches involve a

However, for empty commits, "git apply" will

The "git apply -3" code path learned not to bother the lower level
merge machinery when the three-way merge can be trivially resolved
without the content level merge.
* jc/trivial-threeway-binary-merge:
apply: resolve trivial merge without hitting ll-merge with "--3way"
The ll_binary_merge() function assumes that the ancestor blob is
different from either side of the new versions, and always fails
the merge in conflict, unless -Xours or -Xtheirs is in effect.
The normal "merge" machineries all resolve the trivial cases
(e.g. if our side changed while their side did not, the result
is ours) without triggering the file-level merge drivers, so the
assumption is warranted.
The code path in "git apply --3way", however, does not check for
the trivial three-way merge situation and always calls the
file-level merge drivers. This used to be perfectly OK back
when we always first attempted a straight patch application and
used the three-way code path only as a fallback. Any binary
patch that can be applied as a trivial three-way merge (e.g. the
patch is based exactly on the version we happen to have) would
always cleanly apply, so the ll_binary_merge() that is not
prepared to see the trivial case would not have to handle such a
case.
This no longer is true after we made "--3way" to mean "first try
three-way and then fall back to straight application", and made
"git apply -3" on a binary patch that is based on the current
version no longer apply.
Teach "git apply -3" to first check for the trivial merge cases
and resolve them without hitting the file-level merge drivers.

"git apply" miscounted the bytes and failed to read to the end of
binary hunks.
* jk/apply-binary-hunk-parsing-fix:
apply: keep buffer/size pair in sync when parsing binary hunks
We parse through binary hunks by looping through the buffer with code
like:
llen = linelen(buffer, size);
...do something with the line...
buffer += llen;
size -= llen;
However, before we enter the loop, there is one call that increments
"buffer" but forgets to decrement "size". As a result, our "size" is off
by the length of that line, and subsequent calls to linelen() may look
past the end of the buffer for a newline.
The fix is easy: we just need to decrement size as we do elsewhere.
This bug goes all the way back to 0660626caf (binary diff: further
updates., 2006-05-05). Presumably nobody noticed because it only
triggers if the patch is corrupted, and even then we are often "saved"
by luck. We use a strbuf to store the incoming patch, so we overallocate
there, plus we add a 16-byte run of NULs as slop for memory comparisons.
So if this happened accidentally, the common case is that we'd just read
a few uninitialized bytes from the end of the strbuf before producing
the expected "this patch is corrupted" error complaint.
However, it is possible to carefully construct a case which reads off
the end of the buffer. The included test does so. It will pass both
before and after this patch when run normally, but using a tool like
ASan shows that we get an out-of-bounds read before this patch, but not
after.

"git apply" does not allow "--cached" and "--3way" to be used
together, since "--3way" writes conflict markers into the working
tree.
Allow "git apply" to accept "--cached" and "--3way" at the same
time. When a single file auto-resolves cleanly, the result is
placed in the index at stage #0 and the command exits with 0 status.
For a file that has a conflict which cannot be cleanly
auto-resolved, the original contents from common ancestor (stage
conflict at the content level, and the command exists with non-zero
status, because there is no place (like the working tree) to leave a
half-resolved merge for the user to resolve.
The user can use `git diff` to view the contents of the conflict, or
`git checkout -m -- .` to regenerate the conflict markers in the
working directory.
Don't attempt rerere in this case since it depends on conflict
markers written to file for its database storage and lookup. There
would be two main changes required to get rerere working:
1. Allow the rerere api to accept in memory object rather than
files, which would allow us to pass in the conflict markers
contained in the result from ll_merge().
2. Rerere can't write to the working directory, so it would have to
apply the result to cache stage #0 directly. A flag would be
needed to control this.

The apply_fragments() method of "git apply"
can silently apply patches incorrectly if
a file has repeating contents. In these
cases a three-way merge is capable of applying
it correctly in more situations, and will
show a conflict rather than applying it
incorrectly. However, because the patches
apply "successfully" using apply_fragments(),
git will never fall back to the merge, even
if the "--3way" flag is used, and the user has
no way to ensure correctness by forcing the
three-way merge method.
Change the behavior so that when "--3way" is used,
git will always try the three-way merge first and
will only fall back to apply_fragments() in cases
where blobs are not available or some other error
(but not in the case of a merge conflict).
Since user-facing results will be different,
this has backwards compatibility implications
for users depending on the old behavior. In
addition, the three-way merge will be slower
than direct patch application.
