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.
|
|
While it is mostly busywork to rewrite all instances it actually fixes
bugs as the data storage used by the new method is std::string rather
than a char*, the later mostly created by c_str() from a std::string
which the caller has to ensure keeps in scope – something apt-ftparchive
actually didn't ensure and relied on copy-on-write behavior instead
which c++11 forbids and hence the new default gcc abi doesn't use it.
|
|
TFRewrite is okay, but it has obscure limitations (256 Tags), even more
obscure bugs (order for renames is defined by the old name) and the
interface is very c-style encouraging bad usage like we do it in
apt-ftparchive passing massive amounts of c_str() from std::string in.
The old-style is marked as deprecated accordingly. The next commit will
fix all places in the apt code to not use the old-style anymore.

In 66c3875df391b1120b43831efcbe88a78569fbfe we workaround/fixed a
problem where the code makes the assumption that the compiler uses
copy-on-write implementations for std::string. Turns out that for c++11
compatibility gcc >= 5 will stop doing this by default.

dpkg and dak know various field names and order them in their output,
while we have yet another order and have to play catch up with them as
we are sitting between chairs here and neither order is ideal for us,
too.
A little testcase is from now on supposed to help ensureing that we do
not derivate to far away from which fields dpkg knows and orders.

Slightly rewriting the code to ensure we only use two sources for the
versions as it could otherwise be confusing to look at.

If the pin for a generic pin is 0, it get a value by strange looking
rules, if the pin is specific the rules are at least not strange, but
the value 989 is a magic number without any direct meaning… but both
never happens in practice as the parsing skips such entries with a
warning, so there always is a priority != 0 and the code therefore never
used.
|
|
The documentation says this, but the code only agreed while evaluating
specific packages, but not generics. These needed a pin above 1000 to
have the same effect.
The code causing this makes references to a 'second pesduo status file',
but nowhere is explained what this might stand for and/or what it was,
so we do the only reasonable thing: Remove all references and do as
documented.
|
|
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.

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.
|
|
Its a bit unpredictable which permissons and owners we will encounter on
a CD-ROM (or a USB stick, as apt-cdrom is responsible for those too),
so we have to ensure in this codepath as well that everything is nicely
setup without waiting for a 'apt-get update' to fix up the (potential)
mess.
|
|
Methods get told which hashes are expected by the acquire system, which
means we can use this list to restrict what we calculate in the methods
as any extra we are calculating is wasted effort as we can't compare it
with anything anyway.
Adding support for a new hash algorithm is therefore 'free' now and if a
algorithm is no longer provided in a repository for a file, we
automatically stop calculating it.
In practice this results in a speed-up in Debian as we don't have SHA512
here (so far), so we practically stop calculating it.

On single-arch the parsing was creating groupnames like 'apt:amd64' even
through it should be 'apt' and a package in it belonging to architecture
amd64. The result for foreign architectures was as expected: The
dependency isn't satisfiable, but for native architecture it means the
wrong package (ala apt:amd64:amd64) is linked so this is also not
satisfiable, which is very much not expected.
No longer excluding single-arch from this codepath allows the generation
of the correct links, which still link to non-exisiting packages for
foreign dependencies, but natives link to the expected native package
just as if no architecture was given.
For negative arch-specific dependencies ala Conflicts this matter was
worse as apt will believe there isn't a Conflict to resolve, tricking it
into calculating a solution dpkg will refuse.
Architecture specific positive dependencies are rare in jessie – the
only one in amd64 main is foreign –, negative dependencies do not even
exist. Neither class has a native specimen, so no package in jessie is
effected by this bug, but it might be interesting for stretch upgrades.
This also means the regression potential is very low.

Working with strings c-style is complicated and error-prune,
so by converting to c++ style we gain some simplicity and
avoid buffer overflows by later extensions.

g++-5 generates a slightly broken libapt which doesn't split
architecture configurations correctly resulting in e.g. Packages files
requested for the bogus architecture 'amd64,i386' instead of for amd64
and i386.
The reason is an incorrectly applied attribute marking the function as
const, while functions with pointer arguments are not allowed to be
declared as such (note that char& is a char* in disguise). Demoting the
attribute to pure fixes this issue – better would be dropping the & from
char but that is an API change…
Neither earlier g++ versions nor clang use this attribute to generate
broken code, so we don't need a rebuild of dependencies or anything and
g++-5 isn't even included in jessie, but the effect is so strange and
apt popular enough to consider avoiding this problem anyhow.

libapt can be configured to write various bits of information to a file
creating a report via apport. This is disabled by default in Debian and
apport residing only in /experimental so far, but Ubuntu and other
derivatives have this (in some versions) enabled by default and there is
no regression potentially here.
The crash is caused by a mismatch of operations vs. strings for
operations, so adding the missing strings for these operations solves
the problem.

In /experimental this is resolved by deprecating Mode and moving to a
new std::string, but that breaks ABI of course, so that was out of
question. We can't change to a malloc/free style c-string either as
Mode is public and hence a library user could be setting this as well.
std::string implementors actually helped us out here with copy-on-write
which means that while the variable "obviously" runs out of scope here,
in reality you get the correct result as the string we work with here
comes from the configuration in which it is still valid. Such a
dependency on magic is bad of course, but its still interesting that
only python3 seems to have an issue with it…
With some silly explicit if-else assigning we can sidestep this issue
while retaining the same output for 99.99% of all users (= noone
actually configures additional compression algorithms which are also
provided by repositories…), but even for these 0.01% its just a small
change in the display as Mode can not be used for anything else.
Example: apt/aptitude uses it in its 'update' implementations in the
one-line progress at the bottom for specific items.

The underlying problem is that libapt-pkg does not correctly parse these
provides. Internally, it creates a version named "baz:i386" with
architecture amd64. Of course, such a package name is invalid and thus
this version is completely inaccessible. Thus, this bug should not cause
apt to accept a broken situation as valid. Nevertheless, it prevents
using architecture qualified depends.

Implementing FileName() works for most cases for us, but other
frontends might need more and even for us its not very stable as
the normal Jump() implementation is pretty bad on a deb file and
produce errors on its own at times.
So, replacing this makeshift with a complete implementation by
mostly just shuffling code around.

Commit 9ec748ff103840c4c65471ca00d3b72984131ce4 from Feb 23 last year
adds a version check after 8daf68e366fa9fa2794ae667f51562663856237c
added 8 days earlier negative points for breaks/conflicts with the
intended that only dependencies which are satisfied propagate points
(aka: old conflicts do not).
The implementation was needlessly complex and flawed through preventing
positive dependencies from gaining points like they did before these
commits making library transitions harder instead of simpler. It worked
out anyhow most of the time out of pure 'luck' (and other ways of
gaining points) or got miss attributed to being a temporary hick-up.

Commit 299aea924ccef428219ed6f1a026c122678429e6 fixes the problem of
not logging terminal in case stdin & stdout are not a terminal. The
problem is that we are then trying to pass-through stdin content by
reading from the apt-process stdin and writing it to the stdin of the
child (dpkg), which works great for users who can control themselves,
but pipes and co are a bit less forgiving causing us to pass everything
to the first child process, which if the sending part of the pipe is
e.g. 'yes' we will never see the end of it (as the pipe is full at some
point and further writing blocks).
There is a simple solution for that of course: If stdin isn't a terminal,
we us the apt-process stdin as stdin for the child directly (We don't do
this if it is a terminal to be able to save the typed input in the log).

dpkg checks now for dependencies before running triggers, so that
packages can now end up in trigger states (especially those we are not
touching at all with our calls) after apt is done running.
The solution to this is trivial: Just tell dpkg to configure everything
after we have (supposely) configured everything already. In the worst
case this means dpkg will have to run a bunch of triggers, usually it
will just do nothing though.
The code to make this happen was already available, so we just flip a
config option here to cause it to be run. This way we can keep
pretending that triggers are an implementation detail of dpkg.
--triggers-only would supposely work as well, but --configure is more
robust in regards to future changes to dpkg and something we will
hopefully make use of in future versions anyway (as it was planed at the
time this and related options were implemented).
Note that dpkg currently has a workaround implemented to allow upgrades
to jessie to be clean, so that the test works before and after. Also
note that test (compared to the one in the bug) drops the await test as
its is considered a loop by dpkg now.

If we have no controlling terminal opening a terminal will make this
terminal our controller, which is a serious problem if this happens to
be the pseudo terminal we created to run dpkg in as we will close this
terminal at the end hanging ourself up in the process…
The offending open is the one we do to have at least one slave fd open
all the time, but for good measure, we apply the flag also to the slave
fd opening in the child process as we set the controlling terminal
explicitely here.
This is a regression from 150bdc9ca5d656f9fba94d37c5f4f183b02bd746 with
the slight twist that this usecase was silently broken before in that it
wasn't logging the output in term.log (as a pseudo terminal wasn't
created).

We were already considering these cases, but the code was flawed, so
that packages changing architectures are incorrectly handled and hence
the wrong architecture is used to call dpkg with, so that dpkg says the
package isn't installed (which it isn't for the requested architecture).

The bugreport itself describes the case of the ordering code detecting a
loop where none is present, but the testcase finds also cases in which
there is actually a loop and we fail to realize it. --reinstall can be
considered an interactive command through and it usually doesn't
encounter such "hard" problems (= looping essentials), so this is less
serious than it sounds at first.

We run dpkg on its own pty, so we can log its output and have our own
output around it (like the progress bar), while also allowing debconf
and configfile prompts to happen.
In commit 223ae57d468fdcac451209a095047a07a5698212 we changed to
constantly reopening the slave for kfreebsd. This has the sideeffect
though that in some cases slave and master will lose their connection on
linux, so that no output is passed along anymore. We fix this by having
always an fd referencing the slave open (linux), but we don't use it
(kfreebsd).
Failing to get our PTY up and running has many (bad) consequences
including (not limited to, nor all at ones or in any case) garbled ouput,
no output, no logging, a (partial) mixture of the previous items, …
This commit is therefore also reshuffling quiet a bit of the creation
code to get especially the output part up and running on linux and the
logging for kfreebsd.
Note that the testcase tries to cover some cases, but this is an
interactivity issue so only interactive usage can really be a good test.

The fd moves out of scope here anyway, so we should close it properly
instead of leaking it which will tickle down to dpkg maintainer scripts.

We autocreate for a while now the last two directories in /var/lib/apt/lists
(similar for /var/cache/apt/archives) which is very nice for systems having
any of those on tmpfs or other non-persistent storage. This also means
though that this creation is effected by the default umask, so for
people with aggressive umasks like 027 the directories will be created
with 750, which means all non-root users are left out, which is usually
exactly what we want then this umask is set, but the cache and lib
directories contain public knowledge. There isn't any need to protect
them from viewers and they render apt completely useless if not
readable.

Unlikely perhaps, but there is no guarantee that the directory we want
to drop the file into actually exists, so create it if we must.

This used to work before we implemented a stricter commandline parser
and e.g. the dd-schroot-cmd command constructs commandlines like this.

A version belongs to a section and has hence a section member of its
own. A package on the other hand can have multiple versions from
different sections. This was "solved" by using the section which was
parsed first as order of sources.list defines, but that is obviously a
horribly unpredictable thing.
Users are way better of with the Section() as returned by the version
they are dealing with. It is likely the same for all versions of a
package, but in the few cases it isn't, it is important (like packages
moving from main/* to contrib/* or into oldlibs …).
Backport of 7a66977 which actually instantly removes the member.

Collect all hashes we can get from the source record and put them into a
HashStringList so that 'apt-get source' can use it instead of using
always the MD5sum.
We therefore also deprecate the MD5 struct member in favor of the list.
While at it, the parsing of the Files is enhanced so that records which
miss "Files" (aka MD5 checksums) are still searched for other checksums
as they include just as much data, just not with a nice and catchy name.
This is a cherry-pick of 1262d35 with some dirty tricks to preserve ABI.

APT supports more than just one HashString and even allows to enforce
the usage of a specific hash. This class is intended to help with

The cherry-pick here the un-const-ification of HashType() compared to
f4c3850ea335545e297504941dc8c7a8f1c83358. The point of this commit is

Do the same with less code in apt-get. This especially ensures that the
lock file (and the parent directories) exist before we are trying to
lock. It also means that clean now creates the directories if they are
missing so we returned to a proper clean state now.
