Summary

Ref T12961. See that task for discussion of the major attack we're responding to here.

  • Reject hosts beginning with "-". These are not legitimate.
  • Reject hosts beginning with ".". These are also not legitimate.
  • Tighten $ to \z. $ can match either "newline, end of string" or "end of string". \z matches ONLY "end of string". We don't want to match a newline, only "end of string" strictly.
  • We already that hosts otherwise contain only "reasonable" characters (letters, numbers, hyphens, and periods).
Test Plan
  • Added unit tests, ran unit tests.
  • Tried to set a repository URI to ssh://-oxyz/path with these changes, which worked previously; it no longer works.
