This new field allows a repository to declare that access to
packages requires authorization. The current implementation will
set the pin to -32768 if no authorization has been provided in
the auth.conf(.d) files.
This implementation is suboptimal in two aspects:
(1) A repository should behave more like NotSource repositories
(2) We only have the host name for the repository, we cannot use
paths yet.
- We can fix those after an ABI break.
The code also adds a check to acquire-item.cc to not use the
specified repository as a download source, mimicking NotSource.

This allows disabling a repository by pinning it to 'never',
which is internally translated to a value of -32768 (or whatever
the minimum of short is).
This overrides any other pin for that repository. It can be used
to make sure certain sources are never used; for example, in
unattended-upgrades.
To prevent semantic changes to existing files, we substitute
min + 1 for every pin-priority: <min>. This is a temporary
solution, as we are waiting for an ABI break.
To add pins with that value, the special Pin-Priority
"never" may be used for now. It's unclear if that will
persist, or if the interface will change eventually.

This fixes a security issue that can be exploited to inject arbritrary debs
or other files into a signed repository as followed:
(1) Server sends a redirect to somewhere%0a<headers for the apt method> (where %0a is
\n encoded)
(2) apt method decodes the redirect (because the method encodes the URLs before
sending them out), writting something like
somewhere\n
<headers>
into its output
(3) apt then uses the headers injected for validation purposes.

This allows us to install matching auth files for sources.list.d
files, for example; very useful.
This converts aptmethod's authfd from one FileFd to a vector of
pointers to FileFd, as FileFd cannot be copied, and move operators
are hard.

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.

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.

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.

Check that Date of Release file is not in the future
See merge request apt-team/apt!3
|
|
By restricting the Date field to be in the past, an attacker cannot
just create a repository from the future that would be accepted as
a valid update for a repository.
This check can be disabled by Acquire::Check-Date set to false. This
will also disable Check-Valid-Until and any future date related checking,
if any - the option means: "my computers date cannot be trusted."
Modify the tests to allow repositories to be up to 10 hours in the
future, so we can keep using hours there to simulate time changes.

The interesting takeaway here is perhaps that 'chmod +w' is effected by
the umask – obvious in hindsight of course. The usual setup helps with
hiding that applying that recursively on all directories (and files)
isn't correct. Ensuring files will not be stored with the wrong
permissions even if in strange umask contexts is trivial in comparison.
Fixing the test also highlighted that it wasn't bulletproof as apt will
automatically fix the permissions of the directories it works with, so
for this test we actually need to introduce a shortcut in the code.

This was broken by a refactoring in 1adcf56bec7d2127d83aa423916639740fe8e586
which iterated over getCompressorExtensions() instead of the compressors and
using their extension field. getCompressorExtensions() does not contain the
empty extension for uncompressed files, though, and hence this was broken.

but the detection wasn't complete resulting in errors or could produce

Allow specifying an alternative path to the InRelease file, so
you can have multiple versions of a repository, for example.
Enabling this option disables fallback to Release and Release.gpg,
so setting it to InRelease can be used to ensure that only that
will be tried.
We add two test cases: One for checking that it works, and another
for checking that the fallback does not happen.

The summary line sounds a bit much: what we end up doing is just adding
two more guards before using results which should always be valid™.
That these values aren't valid is likely a bug in itself somewhere, but
that is no reason for crashing.

The appended "partial" should not be translated, but some translations

Allowing a method to request work from other methods is a powerful
capability which could be misused or exploited, so to slightly limited
the surface let method opt-in into this capability on startup.
|
|
Embedding an entire acquire stack and HTTP logic in the mirror method
made it rather heavy weight and fragile. This reimplement goes the other
way by doing only the bare minimum in the method itself and instead
redirect the actual download of files to their proper methods.
The reimplementation drops the (in the real world) unused query-string
feature as it isn't really implementable in the new architecture.
|
|
If a method needs a file to operate like e.g. mirror needs to get a list
of mirrors before it can redirect the the actual requests to them. That
could easily be solved by moving the logic into libapt directly, but by
allowing a method to request other methods to do something we can keep
this logic contained in the method and allow e.g. also methods which
perform binary patching or similar things.
Previously they would need to implement their own acquire system inside
the existing one which in all likelyhood will not support the same
features and methods nor operate with similar security compared to what
we have already running 'above' the requesting method. That said, to
avoid methods producing conflicts with "proper" files we are downloading
a new directory is introduced to keep the auxiliary files in.

The format isn't too hard to get right, but it gets funny with multiline

Commit 89c4c588b275 ("fix from David Kalnischkies for the InRelease gpg
verification code (LP: #784473)") amended verification of cleartext
signatures by a check whether the file to be verified actually starts
with "-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----\n".
However cleartext signed InRelease files have been found in the wild
which use \r\n as line ending for this armor header line, presumably
generated by a Windows PGP client. Such files are incorrectly deemed
unsigned and result in the following (misleading) error:
Clearsigned file isn't valid, got 'NOSPLIT' (does the network require authentication?)
RFC 4880 specifies in 6.2 Forming ASCII Armor:
That is to say, there is always a line ending preceding the
starting five dashes, and following the ending five dashes. The
header lines, therefore, MUST start at the beginning of a line, and
MUST NOT have text other than whitespace following them on the same
line.
RFC 4880 does not seem to specify whether LF or CRLF is used as line
ending for armor headers, but CR is generally considered whitespace
(e.g. "man perlrecharclass"), hence using CRLF is legal even under
the assumption that LF must be used.
SplitClearSignedFile() is stripping whitespace (including CR) on lineend
already before matching the string, so StartsWithGPGClearTextSignature() is
adapted to use the same ignoring. As the earlier method is responsible
for what apt will end up actually parsing nowadays as signed/unsigned this
change has no implications for security.

If the cache needs to grow to make room to insert volatile files like
deb files into the cache we were remapping null-pointers making them
non-null-pointers in the process causing trouble later on.
Only the current Releasefile pointer can currently legally be a
nullpointer as volatile files have no release file they belong to, but
for safety the pointer to the current Packages file is equally guarded.
The option APT::Cache-Start can be used to workaround this problem.

For deb files we always supported falling back from one server to the
other if one failed to download the deb, but that was hardwired in the
handling of this specific item. Moving this alongside the retry
infrastructure we can implement it for all items and allow methods to
use this as well by providing additional URIs in a redirect.
|
|
We have quite a bit of metadata available for the files we acquire, but
the methods weren't told about it and got just the URI. That is indeed
fine for most, but to avoid methods trying to parse the metadata out of
the provided URIs (and fail horribly in edgecases) we can just as well
be nice and tell them stuff directly.

Moving the Retry-implementation from individual items to the worker

LookupTag is a little helper to deal with rfc822-style strings we use in
apt e.g. to pass acquire messages around for cases in which our usual
rfc822 parser is too heavy. All the fields it had to deal with so far
were single line, but if they aren't it should really produce the right
output and not just return the first line. Error messages are a prime
candidate for becoming multiline as at the moment they are stripped of
potential newlines due to the previous insufficiency of LookupTag.

If a InRelease file fails to download with a non-404 error
we assumed there is some general problem with repository like
a webportal or your are blocked from access (wrong auth, Tor, …).
Turns out some server like S3 return 403 if a file doesn't exist.
Allowing this in general seems like a step backwards as 403 is a
reasonable response if auth failed, so failing here seems better
than letting those users run into problems.
What we can do is show our insecure warnings through and allow the
failures for insecure repos: If the repo is signed it is easy to add
an InRelease file and if not you are setup for trouble anyhow.

The documentation said "spaces", but there is no real reason to be so
strict and only allow spaces to separate values as that only leads to
very long lines if e.g. multiple URIs are specified which are again hard
to deal with from a user PoV which the deb822 format is supposed to
avoid. It also deals with multiple consecutive spaces and strange things
like tabs users will surely end up using in the real world.
The old behviour on encountering folded lines is the generation of URIs
which end up containing all these whitespace characters which tends to
mess really bad with output and further processing.
