Recent (post 1.4.3) gitweb itself never generates a link that would result in such a query, and the safest and cleanest fix to this issue is to simply drop the support for it. Maintenance release v1.6.0.6, v1.5.6.6, v1.5.5.6 and v1.5.4.7 are already available at k.org (see the announcement for v1.6.0.6 I sent out a few minutes ago), and the master branch and others pushed out tonight have the same fix. This message contains two patches (credits go to Matt McCutchen, Jeff King and Jakub Narebski) to do the fix yourself: (1) for Git 1.5.4.X, 1.5.5.X, and 1.5.6.X, and (2) for Git 1.6.0.X. Distro packagers and people on the vendor security list have been notified about this fix earlier this week; people running gitweb from vendor supplied binaries should be able to get updates from them as well. --=-=-= Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=0001-hotfix-1.5.456.X.txt Content-Description: gitweb hotfix for 1.5.[456].X series >From dfff4b7aa42de7e7d58caeebe2c6128449f09b76 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2008 19:42:02 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] gitweb: do not run "git diff" that is Porcelain Jakub says that legacy-style URI to view two blob differences are never generated since 1.4.3. This codepath runs "git diff" Porcelain from the gitweb, which is a no-no. It can trigger diff.external command that is specified in the configuration file of the repository being viewed. This patch applies to v1.5.4 and later.
