Subject: [PATCH 0/1] gpg-interface: prefer check_signature() for GPG verification
Date: Wed, 27 Nov 2019 17:48:20 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191127174821.5830-1-hji@dyntopia.com> (raw)
This patch refactors the use of verify_signed_buffer() for GPG
verification to use check_signature() instead.
Previously, both check_signature() and verify_signed_buffer() were used
to verify signatures in various parts of Git. However,
verify_signed_buffer() does not parse the GPG status message. Instead,
it relies entirely on the exit code from GPG coupled with the existence
of a GOODSIG string in the output buffer. Unfortunately, the mere
prescience of GOODSIG does not necessarily imply a valid signature, as
shown by Michał Górny [1].
verify_signed_buffer() should be reserved for internal use by
check_signature() since check_signature() parses and verifies the status
message. This is accomplished in this patch.
Note that the patch is prepared for the next branch. I'm not sure if
that's appropriate -- but it seemed sensible since I've already touched
code in gpg-interface.c that's been merged in next.
