CVE-2018-10888 (2018-07-10)

A flaw was found in libgit2 before version 0.27.3. A missing check in git_delta_apply function in delta.c file, may lead to an out-of-bound read while reading a binary delta file. An attacker may use this flaw to cause a Denial of Service.

CVE-2018-10887 (2018-07-10)

A flaw was found in libgit2 before version 0.27.3. It has been discovered that an unexpected sign extension in git_delta_apply function in delta.c file may lead to an integer overflow which in turn leads to an out of bound read, allowing to read before the base object. An attacker may use this flaw to leak memory addresses or cause a Denial of Service.

NAME

Git::Raw::Commit - Git commit class

VERSION

version 0.82

SYNOPSIS

use Git::Raw;

# open the Git repository at $path
my $repo = Git::Raw::Repository -> open($path);

# add a file to the repository default index
my $index = $repo -> index;
$index -> add('test');
$index -> write;

# create a new tree out of the repository index
my $tree_id = $index -> write_tree;
my $tree    = $repo -> lookup($tree_id);

# retrieve user's name and email from the Git configuration
my $config = $repo -> config;
my $name   = $config -> str('user.name');
my $email  = $config -> str('user.email');

# create a new Git signature
my $me = Git::Raw::Signature -> now($name, $email);

# create a new commit out of the above tree, with the repository HEAD as
# parent
my $commit = $repo -> commit(
  'some commit', $me, $me, [ $repo -> head -> target ], $tree
);

DESCRIPTION

A Git::Raw::Commit represents a Git commit.

WARNING: The API of this module is unstable and may change without warning (any change will be appropriately documented in the changelog).

METHODS

create( $repo, $msg, $author, $committer, [@parents], $tree [, $update_ref ] )

Create a new commit given a message, two Git::Raw::Signature (one is the commit author and the other the committer), a list of parent commits and a Git::Raw::Tree. If $update_ref is provided and is defined, the reference with the corresponding name is automatically updated or created. If $update_ref is undef, no reference is updated. If $update_ref is not provided, "HEAD" is updated.

annotated( )

Create a Git::Raw::AnnotatedCommit from the commit.

amend( $baseline, [@parents], $tree [, $update_ref ] )

Create a new commit using $baseline as a template for the message, author and committer. This method is useful for rewriting a commit, by replacing its parents and trees. See Git::Raw::Commit->create()

lookup( $repo, $id )

Retrieve the commit corresponding to $id. This function is pretty much the same as $repo->lookup($id) except that it only returns commits. If the commit doesn't exist, this function will return undef.

owner( )

Retrieve the Git::Raw::Repository owning the commit.

id( )

Retrieve the id of the commit, as a string.

message( )

Retrieve the message of the commit.

message_trailers( )

Retrieve the message trailers of the commit. Returns a hash.

summary( )

Retrieve the summary of the commit message.

body( )

Retrieve the body of the commit message.

author( )

Retrieve the Git::Raw::Signature representing the author of the commit.

committer( )

Retrieve the Git::Raw::Signature representing the committer.

time( )

Retrieve the committer time of the commit.

offset( )

Retrieve the committer time offset (in minutes) of the commit.

tree( )

Retrieve the Git::Raw::Tree the commit points to.

parents( )

Retrieve the list of parents of the commit.

merge( $commit, [ \%merge_opts ])

Merge $commit into this commit. See Git::Raw::Repository->merge() for valid %merge_opts values. Returns a Git::Raw::Index object containing the merge result.

ancestor( $gen )

Retrieve the Git::Raw::Commit object that is the $gen'th generation ancestor of this commit, following only the first parents.

diff( [$parent_no, \%diff_opts] )

Retrieve the diff associated with the commit. If the commit has no parents, $parent_no should not specified. Similarly, for merge commits, $parent_no should be specified. See Git::Raw::Repository->diff() for valid %diff_opts values. In this context, specifying a Git::Raw::Tree in %diff_opts will have no effect as it will be determined from the commit's parent.

as_email( [\%format_opts, \%diff_opts] )

Retrieve the patch e-mail associated with the commit. See Git::Raw::Repository->diff() for valid %diff_opts values. In this context, specifying a Git::Raw::Tree in %diff_opts will have no effect as it will be determined from the commit's parent. Valid fields for the %format_opts hash are:

  • "patch_no"

    The patch number for this commit.

  • "total_patches"

    Total number of patches.

  • "flags"

    E-mail generation flags. Valid fields for this hash include:

    • "exclude_subject_patch_marker"

      Don't insert "[PATCH]" in the subject header.
