Now obviously this patch is incomplete: I am not sure we actually avoid the attack, ie. i am not sure the check in `srcdir()` is sufficient to remove completely the check in `find_src_files()`. It does work, however: the files get picked up from the underlay and properly hardlinked into the target `public_html` directory! So with the above patch, then the following hook in `source.git/hooks/post-receive`:

After reviewing the code further, it seems that `find_src_files` in three places in ikiwiki:
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
../IkiWiki/Render.pm:421: find_src_files(1, \@files, \%pages);
|
||||
../IkiWiki/Render.pm:846: ($files, $pages)=find_src_files();
|
||||
../po/po2wiki:18:my ($files, $pages)=IkiWiki::find_src_files();
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
The first occurence is in `IkiWiki::Render::process_changed_files`, where it is used mostly for populating `@IkiWiki::underlayfiles`, the only side effect of
|
||||
`find_src_files`. The second occurence is in `IkiWiki::Render::refresh`. There things are a little more complicated (to say the least) and a lot of stuff happens. To put it in broad terms, first it does a `IkiWiki::Render::scan` and then a `IkiWiki::Render::render`. The last two call `srcfile()` appropriately (where i put an extra symlink check), except for `will_render()` in `scan`, which I can't figure out right now and that seems to have a lot of global side effects. It still looks fairly safe at first glance. The `rcs_get_current_rev`, `refresh`, `scan` and `rendered` hooks are also called in there, but I assume those to be safe, since they are called with sanitized values already.
