Some post-invoke scripts install packages, which fails because the environment variable is not set. This sets the variable for all three kinds of scripts {pre,post-}invoke and pre-install-pkgs, but we will only allow post-invoke at a later time. Gbp-Dch: full

2018-09-24pkgCacheFile: Only unlock in destructor if locked beforeJulian Andres Klode
pkgCacheFile's destructor unlocks the system, which is confusing if you did not open the cachefile with WithLock set. Create a private data instance that holds the value of WithLock. This regression was introduced in commit b2e465d6d32d2dc884f58b94acb7e35f671a87fe: Join with aliencode Author: jgg Date: 2001-02-20 07:03:16 GMT Join with aliencode by replacing a "Lock" member that was only initialized when the lock was taken by calls to Lock, UnLock; with the latter also taking place if the former did not occur.

2018-09-20Deal with descriptions embedded in displayed record correctlyDavid Kalnischkies
The implementation of "apt-cache show" (not "apt show") incorrectly resets the currently used parser if the record itself and the description to show come from the same file (as it is the case if no Translation-* files are available e.g. after debootstrap). The code is more complex than you would hope to support some rather unusual setups involving Descriptions and their translations as tested for by ./test-bug-712435-missing-descriptions as otherwise this could be a one-line change.

2018-09-18http: Stop pipeline after close only if it was not filled beforeJulian Andres Klode
It is perfectly valid behavior for a server to respond with Connection: close eventually, even when pipelining. Turning off pipelining due to that is wrong. For example, some Ubuntu mirrors close the connection after 101 requests. If I have more packages to install, only the first 101 would benefit from pipelining. This commit introduces a new check to only turn of pipelining for future connections if the pipeline for this connection did not have 3 successful fetches before, that should work quite well to detect broken server/proxy combinations like in bug 832113.

2018-09-11Reorder progress report messagesDavid Kalnischkies
We are seeing 'processing' messages from dpkg first, so it makes sense to translate them to "Preparing" messages instead of using "Installing" and co to override these shortly after with the "Preparing" messages. The difference isn't all to visible as later messages tend to linger far longer in the display than the ealier ones, but at least in a listing it seems more logical.
2018-09-11Don't expect duplicated dpkg status-fd messagesDavid Kalnischkies
The progress reporting relies on parsing the status reports of dpkg which used to repeat being in the same state multiple times in the same run, but by fixing #365921 it will stop doing so. The problem is in theory just with 'config-files' in case we do purge as this (can) do remove + purge in one step, but we remove this also for the unpack + configure combination althrough we handle these currently in two independent dpkg calls.
2018-09-11Process status-fd completely before finishing dpkg callDavid Kalnischkies
Exiting the processing loop as soon as the dpkg process finishes might leave status-fd lines unprocessed which wasn't much of a problem in the past as the progress would just be slightly off, but now that we us the information also for skipping already done tasks and generate warnings if we didn't see all expected messages we should make sure we seem them all. We still need to exit "early" if dpkg exited unsuccessfully/crashed through as the (remaining) status lines we get could be incomplete.
2018-09-11Unset more environment variables in test frameworkDavid Kalnischkies

cppcheck reports: (error) Iterator 't' used after element has been erased. The loop is actually fashioned to deal with this (not in the most efficient way, but in simplest and speed isn't really a concern here) IF this codepath had a "break" at the end… so I added one. Note that the tests aren't failing before (and hopefully after) the change as the undefined behavior we encounter is too stable. Thanks: David Binderman for reporting

2018-08-20clear alternative URIs for mirror:// between steps (CVE-2018-0501)David Kalnischkies
APT in 1.6 saw me rewriting the mirror:// transport method, which works comparable to the decommissioned httpredir.d.o "just" that apt requests a mirror list and performs all the redirections internally with all the bells like parallel download and automatic fallback (more details in the apt-transport-mirror manpage included in the 1.6 release). The automatic fallback is the problem here: The intend is that if a file fails to be downloaded (e.g. because the mirror is offline, broken, out-of-sync, …) instead of erroring out the next mirror in the list is contacted for a retry of the download. Internally the acquire process of an InRelease file (works with the Release/Release.gpg pair, too) happens in steps: 1) download file and 2) verify file, both handled as URL requests passed around. Due to an oversight the fallbacks for the first step are still active for the second step, so that the successful download from another mirror stands in for the failed verification… *facepalm* Note that the attacker can not judge by the request arriving for the InRelease file if the user is using the mirror method or not. If entire traffic is observed Eve might be able to observe the request for a mirror list, but that might or might not be telling if following requests for InRelease files will be based on that list or for another sources.list entry not using mirror (Users have also the option to have the mirror list locally (via e.g. mirror+file://) instead of on a remote host). If the user isn't using mirror:// for this InRelease file apt will fail very visibly as intended. (The mirror list needs to include at least two mirrors and to work reliably the attacker needs to be able to MITM all mirrors in the list. For remotely accessed mirror lists this is no limitation as the attacker is in full control of the file in that case) Fixed by clearing the alternatives after a step completes (and moving a pimpl class further to the top to make that valid compilable code). mirror:// is at the moment the only method using this code infrastructure (for all others this set is already empty) and the only method-independent user so far is the download of deb files, but those are downloaded and verified in a single step; so there shouldn't be much opportunity for regression here even through a central code area is changed. Upgrade instructions: Given all apt-based frontends are affected, even additional restrictions like signed-by are bypassed and the attack in progress is hardly visible in the progress reporting of an update operation (the InRelease file is marked "Ign", but no fallback to "Release/Release.gpg" is happening) and leaves no trace (expect files downloaded from the attackers repository of course) the best course of action might be to change the sources.list to not use the mirror family of transports ({tor+,…}mirror{,+{http{,s},file,…}}) until a fixed version of the src:apt packages are installed.

2018-08-19Report (soon) worthless keys if gpg uses fpr for GOODSIGDavid Kalnischkies
gpgs DETAILS documentation file declares that GOODSIG could report keyid or fingerprint since gpg2, but for the time being it is still keyid only. Who knows if that will ever change as that feels like an interface break with dangerous security implications, but lets be better safe than sorry especially as the code dealing with signed-by keyids is prepared for this already. This code is rewritten still to have them all use the same code for this type of problem.

2018-08-19aptwebserver: Prefetch compressors to avoid thread crashesDavid Kalnischkies
If multiple threads act on requests (like if connection comes from a webbrowser) a thread might request the supported compressors while another thread is still working on creating the list to be stored in the static cache variable. As the price to pay for atomic and co seems to high for the fringe usecase of manual usage of aptwebserver the patch just makes a call to generate the list while still single threaded.

2018-08-07Add support for dpkg frontend lockJulian Andres Klode
The dpkg frontend lock is a lock dpkg tries to acquire except if the frontend already acquires it. This fixes a race condition in the install command where the dpkg lock is not held for a short period of time between different dpkg invocations. For this reason we also define an environment variable DPKG_FRONTEND_LOCKED for dpkg invocations so dpkg knows not to try to acquire the frontend lock because it's held by a parent process. We can set DPKG_FRONTEND_LOCKED only if the frontend lock really is held; that is, if our lock count is greater than 0 - otherwise an apt client not using the LockInner family of functions would run dpkg without the frontend lock set, but with DPKG_FRONTEND_LOCKED set. Such a process has a weaker guarantee: Because dpkg would not lock the frontend lock either, the process is prone to the existing races, and, more importantly, so is a new style process. Closes: #869546 [fixups: fix error messages, add public IsLocked() method, and make {Un,}LockInner return an error on !debSystem]

2018-06-27Handle JSON hooks that just close the file/exit and fix some other errorsJulian Andres Klode
JSON hooks might disappear and the common idiom to work around hooks disappearing is to check for the hook in the shell snippet that is in the apt.conf file and if it does not exist, do nothing. This caused APT to fail however, expecting it to acknowledge the handshake. Ignoring ECONNRESET on handshakes solves the problem. The error case, and the other error cases also did not stop execution of the hook, causing more errors to pile up. Fix this by directly going to the closing part of the code. LP: #1776218

2018-06-13Fix lock counting in debSystemJulian Andres Klode
debSystem uses a reference counted lock, so you can acquire it multiple times in your applications, possibly nested. Nesting locks causes a fd leak, though, as we only increment the lock count when we already have locked twice, rather than once, and hence when we call lock the second time, instead of increasing the lock count, we open another lock fd. This fixes the code to check if we have locked at all (> 0). There is no practical problem here aside from the fd leak, as closing the new fd releases the lock on the old one due to the weird semantics of fcntl locks.

2018-05-28Don't show acquire warning for "hidden" componentsDavid Kalnischkies
Commit d7c92411dc1f4c6be098d1425f9c1c075e0c2154 introduced a warning for non-existent files from components not mentioned in Components to hint users at a mispelling or the disappearance of a component. The debian-installer subcomponent isn't actively advertised in the Release file through, so if apt ends up in acquiring a file which doesn't exist for this component (like Translation files) apt would produce a warning: W: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/debian-installer/i18n/Translation-en' as repository 'http://deb.debian.org/debian buster InRelease' doesn't have the component 'main/debian-installer' (component misspelt in sources.list?) We prevent this in the future by checking if any file exists from this component which results in the warning to be produced still for the intended cases and silence it on the d-i case. This could potentially cause the warning not to be produced in cases it should be if some marginal file remains, but as this message is just a hint and the setup a bit pathological lets ignore it for now. There is also the possibility of having no file present as they would all be 0-length files and being a "hidden" component, but that would be easy to workaround from the repository side and isn't really actively used at the moment in the wild.
