Removes a bunch of duplicated code in the deb-specific parts. Especially
the Description part is now handled centrally by IndexTarget instead of
being duplicated to the derivations of IndexFile.

Creating and passing around a bunch of pointers of IndexTargets (and of
a vector of pointers of IndexTargets) is probably done to avoid the
'costly' copy of container, but we are really not in a timecritical
operation here and move semantics will help us even further in the
future. On the other hand we never do a proper cleanup of these
pointers, which is very dirty, even if structures aren't that big…
The changes will effecting many items only effect our own hidden class,
so we can do that without fearing breaking interfaces or anything.

We still need an API for the targets, so slowly prepare the IndexTargets
to let them take this job.

The code requires every index file we download to have a Package field,
but that doesn't hold true for all index we might want to download in
the future. Some might not even be deb822 formatted files…
The check was needed as apt used to accept unverifiable files like
Translation-*, but nowadays it requires hashes for these as well. Even
for unsigned repositories we interpret the Release file as binding now,
which means this check isn't triggerable expect for repositories which
do not have a Release file at all – something which is highly discouraged!

If we have a file on disk and the hashes are the same in the new Release
file and the old one we have on disk we know that if we ask the server
for the file, we will at best get an IMS hit – at worse the server
doesn't support this and sends us the (unchanged) file and we have to
run all our checks on it again for nothing. So, we can save ourselves
(and the servers) some unneeded requests if we figure this out on our
own.

Its a bit unclean to create an item just to let the item decide that it
can't do anything and let it fail, so instead we let the item creator
decide in all cases if patching should be attempted.
Also pulls a small trick to get the hashes for the current file without
calculating them by looking at the 'old' Release file if we have it.

At the moment we only have hashes for the uncompressed pdiff files, but
via the new '$HASH-Download' field in the .diff/Index hashes can be
provided for the .gz compressed pdiff file, which apt will pick up now
and use to verify the download. Now, we "just" need a buy in from the
creators of repositories…

rred is responsible for unpacking and reading the patch files in one go,
but we currently only have hashes for the uncompressed patch files, so
the handler read the entire patch file before dispatching it to the
worker which would read it again – both with an implicit uncompress.
Worse, while the workers operate in parallel the handler is the central
orchestration unit, so having it busy with work means the workers do
(potentially) nothing.
This means rred is working with 'untrusted' data, which is bad. Yet,
having the unpack in the handler meant that the untrusted uncompress was
done as root which isn't better either. Now, we have it at least
contained in a binary which we can harden a bit better. In the long run,
we want hashes for the compressed patch files through to be safe.

Having every item having its own code to verify the file(s) it handles
is an errorprune process and easy to break, especially if items move
through various stages (download, uncompress, patching, …). With a giant
rework we centralize (most of) the verification to have a better
enforcement rate and (hopefully) less chance for bugs, but it breaks the
ABI bigtime in exchange – and as we break it anyway, it is broken even
harder.
It shouldn't effect most frontends as they don't deal with the acquire
system at all or implement their own items, but some do and will need to
be patched (might be an opportunity to use apt on-board material).
The theory is simple: Items implement methods to decide if hashes need to
be checked (in this stage) and to return the expected hashes for this
item (in this stage). The verification itself is done in worker message
passing which has the benefit that a hashsum error is now a proper error
for the acquire system rather than a Done() which is later revised to a
Failed().
|

If we e.g. fail on hash verification for Packages.xz its highly unlikely
that it will be any better with Packages.gz, so we just waste download
bandwidth and time. It also causes us always to fallback to the
uncompressed Packages file for which the error will finally be reported,
which in turn confuses users as the file usually doesn't exist on the
mirrors, so a bug in apt is suspected for even trying it…

Valid-Until protects us from long-living downgrade attacks, but not all
repositories have it and an attacker could still use older but still
valid files to downgrade us. While this makes it sounds like a security
improvement now, its a bit theoretical at best as an attacker with
capabilities to pull this off could just as well always keep us days
(but in the valid period) behind and always knows which state we have,
as we tell him with the If-Modified-Since header. This is also why this
is 'silently' ignored and treated as an IMSHit rather than screamed at
the user as this can at best be an annoyance for attackers.
An error here would 'regularily' be encountered by users by out-of-sync
mirrors serving a single run (e.g. load balancer) or in two consecutive
runs on the other hand, so it would just help teaching people ignore it.
That said, most of the code churn is caused by enforcing this additional
requirement. Crisscross from InRelease to Release.gpg is e.g. very
unlikely in practice, but if we would ignore it an attacker could
sidestep it this way.
|
|
Not all servers we are talking to support If-Modified-Since and some are
not even sending Last-Modified for us, so in an effort to detect such
hits we run a hashsum check on the 'old' compared to the 'new' file, we
got the hashes for the 'new' already for "free" from the methods anyway
and hence just need to calculated the old ones.
This allows us to detect hits even with unsupported servers, which in
turn means we benefit from all the new hit behavior also here.
|
|
It isn't used much compared to what the methodname suggests, but in the
remaining uses it can't hurt to check more than strictly necessary by
calculating and verifying with all hashes we can compare with rather
than "just" the best known hash.
|
|
Especially pdiff-enhanced downloads have the tendency to fail for
various reasons from which we can recover and even a successful download
used to leave the old unpatched index in partial/.
By adding a new method responsible for making the transaction of an
individual file happen we can at specialisations especially for abort
cases to deal with the cleanup.
This also helps in keeping the compressed indexes around if another
index failed instead of keeping the decompressed files, which we
wouldn't pick up in the next call.

The sibling of this message are all guarded as debug messages, just this

If we get a IMSHit for the Transaction-Manager (= the InRelease file or
as its still supported fallback Release + Release.gpg combo) we can
assume that every file we would queue based on this manager, but already
have locally is current and hence would get an IMSHit, too. We therefore
save us and the server the trouble and skip the queuing in this case.
Beside speeding up repetative executions of 'apt-get update' this way we
also avoid hitting hashsum errors if the indexes are in fact already
updated, but the Release file isn't yet as it is the case on well
behaving mirrors as Release files is updated last.
The implementation is a bit harder than the theory makes it sound as we
still have to keep reverifying the Release files (e.g. to detect now expired
once to avoid an attacker being able to silently stale us) and have to
handle cases in which the Release file hits, but some indexes aren't
present (e.g. user added a new foreign architecture).

Calculating the final name of an item which it will have after
everything is done and verified successfully is suprisingly complicated
as while they all follow a simple pattern, the URI and where it is
stored varies between the items.
With some (abibreaking) redesign we can abstract this similar to how it
is already down for the partial file location.

Checking Valid-Until on an unsigned Release file doesn't give us any
security brownie points as an attacker could just change the date and in
practice repositories with unsigned Release files will very likely not
have a Valid-Until date, but for symetry and the fact that being
unsigned is currently just a warning, while expired is a fatal error.

For compatibility we use/provide and fill quiet some deprecated methods
and fields, which subsequently earns us a warning for using them. These
warnings therefore have to be disabled for these codeparts and that is
what this change does now in a slightly more elegant way.

One word: "doh!" Commit f6d4ab9ad8a2cfe52737ab620dd252cf8ceec43d
disabled the check to prevent apt from downloading bigger patches
than the index it tries to patch. Happens rarly of course, but still.
Detected by scan-build complaining about a dead assignment.
To make up for the mistake a test is included as well.

The pkgAcquire::Run() code works uses a while(ToFetch > 0) loop
over the items queued for fetching. This means that we need to
Deqeueue the item if we call AbortTransaction() to avoid a hang.
|
|
Handle Translation-* files exactly like Packages files (with the
expection that it is ok if a download of them fails). Remove all
"guessing" on apts side. This will elimimnate a bunch of errors
releated to captive portals and similar. Its also more correct
and removes another potential attack vector.
|

The worker is the part closest to the methods, which will call the item
methods according to what it gets back from the methods, it is therefore
a better place to change permissions as it is very central and can do it
now at the point the item is assigned to a method rather than then it is
queued for download (and as before while dequeued via Done/Failure).

partial files are chowned by the Item baseclass to let the methods work
with them. Now, this baseclass is also responsible for chowning the
files back to root instead of having various deeper levels do this.
The consequence is that all overloaded Failed() methods now call the
Item::Failed base as their first step. The same is done for Done().
The effect is that even in partial files usually don't belong to
_apt anymore, helping sneakernets and reducing possibilities of a bad
method modifying files not belonging to them.
The change is supported by the framework not only supporting being run
as root, but with proper permission management, too, so that privilege
dropping can be tested with them.

If we get an IMS hit for an InRelease file we use the file we already
have and pass it into reverification, but this changes the permissions
and on abort of the transaction they weren't switched back.
This is now done, additionally, every file in partial which hasn't
failed gets permission and owner changed for root access as well, as it
is very well possible that the next invocation will (re)use these files.
|
|
Transactions are run and completed from multiple places, so it happens
for unsigned repos that the Release file was commited even if it was
previously aborted (due to --no-allow-insecure-repositories). The reason
is simply that the "failure" of getting an InRelease/Release.gpg is
currently ignored, so that the acquire process believes that nothing bad
happened and commits the transaction even though the same transaction
was previously aborted.

Refactors a bit to ensure the same message is used in all three cases as
well.

We do not support compressed indexes for cdrom sources as we rewrite
some of them, so supporting it correctly could be hard. What we do
instead in the meantime is probably disabling it for cdrom sources.

The acquire code changed completely, so this is more an import of the

Regression from merging 801745284905e7962aa77a9f37a6b4e7fcdc19d0 and
b0f4b486e6850c5f98520ccf19da71d0ed748ae4. While fine by itself, merged
the part fixing the filename is skipped if a cdrom source is
encountered, so that our list-cleanup removes what seems to be orphaned
files.
Closes: 765458

The constructor is calling the baseclass pkgAcqIndex which does this
already – and also does it correctly for compressed files which would
overwise lead to the size of uncompressed files to be expected.

Do not drop privileges in the methods when using a older version of
libapt that does not support the chown magic in partial/ yet. To
do this DropPrivileges() now will ignore a empty Apt::Sandbox::User.
Cleanup all hardcoded _apt along the way.
|

Do not require a special flag to be present to update trusted=yes
sources as this flag in the sources.list is obviously special enough.
Note that this is just disabling the error message, the user will still
be warned about all the (possible) failures the repository generated, it
is just triggering the acceptance of the warnings on a source-by-source
level.
Similarily, the trusted=no flag doesn't require the user to pass
additional flags to update, if the repository looks fine in the view of
apt it will update just fine. The unauthenticated warnings will "just" be
presented then the data is used.
In case you wonder: Both was the behavior in previous versions, too.

The same message is used for InRelease if fails in gpgv, but the
Release/Release.gpg duo needs to handle the failing download case as
well (InRelease just defers to the duo if download fails) and print a
message accompaning the insecure error to provide a hint on what is
going on.
|
|
Not using this option, but using unsigned (and co) repositories will
cause these repositories to be ignored and data acquiring from them
fails, so this is very well in the realms of an error and helps in
making 'apt-get update' fail with a non-zero error code as well.

Looks like a leftover from debugging. Absolutely no need for it and
destroys progess reporting completely.

This fixes a race that we see in travis when two copy operations
finish at about the same time but the bad one first. This lead to
a rename of the good one and triggers a error when apt tries to
verify the good version but can no longer find it.
|
|
The code was using FinalFile before but we only test the existance
of DestFile so we use that instead.
|
|
Communicate the fail reason from the methods to the parent
and Rename() failed files.
|
|
This option controls the maximum size of Release/Release.gpg/InRelease
files. The rational is that we do not know the size of these files in
advance and we want to protect against a denial of service attack
where someone sends us endless amounts of data until the disk is full
(we do know the size all other files (Packages/Sources/debs)).

consistently using Item::Failed in all specializec classes helps setting
up some information bits otherwise unset, so some errors had an empty
reason as an error. Ign is upgraded to display the error message we
ignored to further help in understanding what happens.

Using a different user for calling methods is intended to protect us
from methods running amok (via remotely exploited bugs) by limiting what
can be done by them. By using root:root for the final directories and
just have the files in partial writeable by the methods we enhance this
in sofar as a method can't modify already verified data in its parent
directory anymore.
As a side effect, this also clears most of the problems you could have
if the final directories are shared without user-sharing or if these
directories disappear as they are now again root owned and only the
partial directories contain _apt owned files (usually none if apt isn't
running) and the directory itself is autocreated with the right
permissions.
