2017-02-22Don't use -1 fd and AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW for faccessat()Julian Andres Klode
-1 is not an allowed value for the file descriptor, the only allowed non-file-descriptor value is AT_FDCWD. So use that instead. AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW has a weird semantic: It checks whether we have the specified access on the symbolic link. It also is implemented only by glibc on Linux, so it's inherently non-portable. We should just drop it.

2017-02-22Do not package names representing .dsc/.deb/... filesJulian Andres Klode
In the case of build-dep and other commands where a file can be passed we must make sure not to normalize the path name as that can have odd side effects, or well, cause the operation to do nothing. Test for build-dep-file is adjusted to perform the vcard check once as "vcard" and once as "VCard", thus testing that this solves the reported bug. We inline the std::transform() and optimize it a bit to not write anything in the common case (package names are defined to be lowercase, the whole transformation is just for names that should not exist...) to counter the performance hit of the added find() call (it's about 0.15% more instructions than with the existing transform, but we save about 0.67% in writes...).

2017-02-22Only merge acquire items with the same meta keyJulian Andres Klode
Since the introduction of by-hash, two differently named files might have the same real URL. In our case, the files icons-64x64.tar.gz and icons-128x128.tar.gz of empty tarballs. APT would try to merge them and end with weird errors because it completed the first download and enters the second stage for decompressing and verifying. After that it would queue a new item to copy the original file to the location, but that copy item would be in the wrong stage, causing it to use the hashes for the decompressed item.

2017-02-22remove 'old' FAILED files in the next acquire callDavid Kalnischkies
If apt renames a file to .FAILED it leaves its namespace and is never touched again – expect since 1.1~exp4 in which "apt clean" will remove those files. The usefulness of these files rapidly degrades if you don't keep the update log itself (together with debug output in the best case) through and on 99% of all system they will be kept around forever just to collect dust over time and eat up space. With this commit an update call will remove all FAILED files of previous runs, so that the FAILED files you have on disk are always only the ones related to the last apt run stopping apt from hoarding files.

2017-02-22avoid validate/delete/load race in cache generationDavid Kalnischkies
Keeping the Fd of the cache file we have validated around to later load it into the mmap ensures not only that we load the same file (which wouldn't really be a problem in practice), but that this file also still exists and wasn't deleted e.g. by a 'apt clean' call run in parallel.

2017-02-22keep Release.gpg on untrusted to trusted IMS-HitDavid Kalnischkies
A user relying on the deprecated behaviour of apt-get to accept a source with an unknown pubkey to install a package containing the key expects that the following 'apt-get update' causes the source to be considered as trusted, but in case the source hadn't changed in the meantime this wasn't happening: The source kept being untrusted until the Release file was changed. This only effects sources not using InRelease and only apt-get, the apt binary downright refuses this course of actions, but it is a common way of adding external sources.

2016-12-08gpgv: Flush the files before checking for errorsJulian Andres Klode
This is a follow up to the previous issue where we did not check if getline() returned -1 due to an end of file or due to an error like memory allocation, treating both as end of file. Here we ensure that we also handle buffered writes correctly by flushing the files before checking for any errors in our error stack. Buffered writes themselves were introduced in 1.1.9, but the function was never called with a buffered file from inside apt until commit 46c4043d741cb2c1d54e7f5bfaa234f1b7580f6c which was first released with apt 1.2.10. The function is public, though, so fixing this is a good idea anyway.

2016-12-08SECURITY UPDATE: gpgv: Check for errors when splitting files (CVE-2016-1252)Julian Andres Klode
This fixes a security issue where signatures of the InRelease files could be circumvented in a man-in-the-middle attack, giving attackers the ability to serve any packages they want to a system, in turn giving them root access. It turns out that getline() may not only return EINVAL as stated in the documentation - it might also return in case of an error when allocating memory. This fix not only adds a check that reading worked correctly, it also implicitly checks that all writes worked by reporting any other error that occurred inside the loop and was logged by apt.

2016-11-14Use C locale instead of C.UTF-8 for protocol stringsJulian Andres Klode
The C.UTF-8 locale is not portable, so we need to use C, otherwise we crash on other systems. We can use std::locale::classic() for that, which might also be a bit cheaper than using locale("C"). (cherry picked from commit 0fb16c3e678044d6d06ba8a6199b1e96487ee0d8)

2016-11-14imbue datetime parsing with C.UTF-8 localeDavid Kalnischkies
Rewritten in 9febc2b238e1e322dce1f94ecbed46d595893b52 for c++ locales usage and rewritten again in 1d742e01470bba27715a8191c50adde4b39c2f19 to avoid a currently present stdlibc++6 bug in the std::get_time implementation. The later implementation uses still stringstreams for parsing, but forgot to explicitly reset the locale to something sane (for parsing english dates that is), so date and especially the parsing of a number is depending on the locale. Turns out, the French (among others) format their numbers with space as thousand separator so for some reason the stdlibc++6 thinks its a good idea to interpret the entire datetime string as a single number instead of realizing that in "25 Jun …" the later parts can't reasonably be part of that number even through there are spaces there… Workaround is hence: LC_NUMERIC=C.UTF-8 Closes: 828011 (cherry picked from commit 3bdff17c894d0c3d0f813d358fc45d7a263f3552)
2016-11-14avoid std::get_time usage to sidestep libstdc++6 bugDavid Kalnischkies
As reported upstream in https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=71556 the implementation of std::get_time is currently not as accepting as strptime is, especially in how hours should be formatted. Just reverting 9febc2b238e1e322dce1f94ecbed46d595893b52 would be possible, but then we would reopen the problems fixed by it, so instead I opted here for a rewrite of the parsing logic which makes this method a lot longer, but at least it provides the same benefits as the rewrite in std::get_time was intended to give us and decouples us from the fix of the issue in the standard library implementation of GCC.

2016-11-14accept only the expected UTC timezones in date parsingDavid Kalnischkies
HTTP/1.1 hardcodes GMT (RFC 7231 §7.1.1.1) and what is good enough for the internet must be good enough for us™ as we reuse the implementation internally to parse (most) dates we encounter in various places like the Release files with their Date and Valid-Until header fields. Implementing a fully timezone aware parser just feels too hard for no effective benefit as it would take 5+ years (= until LTS's are out of fashion) until a repository could use non-UTC dates and expect it to work. Not counting non-apt implementations which might or might not only want to encounter UTC here as well. As a bonus, this eliminates the use of an instance of setlocale in libapt.

2016-10-05VersionHash: Do not skip too long dependency linesJulian Andres Klode
If the dependency line does not contain spaces in the repository but does in the dpkg status file (because dpkg normalized the dependency list), the dpkg line might be longer than the line in the repository. If it now happens to be longer than 1024 characters, it would be skipped, causing the hashes to be out of date. Note that we have to bump the minor cache version again as this changes the format slightly, and we might get mismatches with an older src cache otherwise.

2016-10-05try not to call memcpy with length 0 in hash calculationsDavid Kalnischkies
memcpy is marked as nonnull for its input, but ignores the input anyhow if the declared length is zero. Our SHA2 implementations do this as well, it was "just" MD5 and SHA1 missing, so we add the length check here as well as along the callstack as it is really pointless to do all these method calls for "nothing".

2016-10-05Base256ToNum: Fix uninitialized valueJulian Andres Klode
If the inner Base256ToNum() returned false, it did not set Num to a new value, causing it to be uninitialized, and thus might have caused the function to exit despite a good result. Also document why the Res = Num, if (Res != Num) magic is done. Reported-By: valgrind (cherry picked from commit cf7503d8a09ebce695423fdeb2402c456c18f3d8)
2016-10-05TagFile: Fix off-by-one errors in comment strippingJulian Andres Klode
Adding 1 to the value of d->End - current makes restLength one byte too long: If we pass memchr(current, ..., restLength) has thus undefined behavior. Also, reading the value of current has undefined behavior if current >= d->End, not only for current > d->End: Consider a string of length 1, that is d->End = d->Current + 1. We can only read at d->Current + 0, but d->Current + 1 is beyond the end of the string. This probably caused several inexplicable build failures on hurd-i386 in the past, and just now caused a build failure on Ubuntu's amd64 builder.

2016-10-05Fix segfault and out-of-bounds read in Binary fieldsJulian Andres Klode
If a Binary field contains one or more spaces before a comma, the code produced a segmentation fault, as it accidentally set a pointer to 0 instead of the value of the pointer. If the comma is at the beginning of the field, the code would create a binStartNext that points one element before the start of the string, which is undefined behavior. We also need to check that we do not exit the string during the replacement of spaces before commas: A string of the form " ," would normally exit the boundary of the Buffer: binStartNext = offset 1 ',' binEnd = offset 0 ' ' isspace_ascii(*binEnd) = true => --binEnd => binEnd = - 1 We get rid of the problem by only allowing spaces to be eliminated if they are not the first character of the buffer: binStartNext = offset 1 ',' binEnd = offset 0 ' ' binEnd > buffer = false, isspace_ascii(*binEnd) = true => exit loop => binEnd remains 0 (cherry picked from commit ce6cd75dc367b92f65e4fb539dd166d0f3361f8c)
2016-10-05don't loop on pinning pkgs from absolute debs by regexDavid Kalnischkies
An absolute filename for a *.deb file starts with a /. A package with the name of the file is inserted in the cache which is provided by the "real" package for internal reasons. The pinning code detects a regex based wildcard by having the regex start with /. That is no problem as a / can not be included in a package name… expect that our virtual filename package can and does. We fix this two ways actually: First, a regex is only being considered a regex if it also ends with / (we don't support flags). That stops our problem with the virtual filename packages already, but to be sure we also do not enter the loop if matcher and package name are equal. It has to be noted that the creation of pins for virtual packages like the here effected filename packages is pointless as only versions can be pinned, but checking that a package is really purely virtual is too costly compared to just creating an unused pin.

2016-10-05Ignore SIGINT and SIGQUIT for Pre-Install hooksJulian Andres Klode
Instead of erroring out when receiving a SIGINT, let the child deal with it - we'll error out anyway if the child exits with an error or due to the signal. Also ignore SIGQUIT, as system() ignores it. This basically fixes Bug #832593, but: we are running the hooks via sh -c. Some shells exit with a signal error even if the command they are executing catches the signal and exits successfully. So far, this has been noticed on dash, which unfortunately, is our default shell. Example: $ cat trap.sh trap 'echo int' INT; sleep 10; exit 0 $ if dash -c ./trap.sh; then echo OK: $?; else echo FAIL: $?; fi ^Cint FAIL: 130 $ if mksh -c ./trap.sh; then echo OK: $?; else echo FAIL: $?; fi ^Cint OK: 0 $ if bash -c ./trap.sh; then echo OK: $?; else echo FAIL: $?; fi ^Cint OK: 0 (cherry picked from commit a6ae3d3df490e7a5a1c8324ba9dc2e63972b1529)

2016-10-05drop incorrect const attribute from DirectoryExistsDavid Kalnischkies
Since its existence in 2010 DirectoryExists was always marked with this attribute, but for no real reason. Arguably a check for the existence of the file is not modifying global state, so theoretically this shouldn't be a problem. It is wrong from a logical point of view through as between two calls the directory could be created so the promise we made to the compiler that it could remove the second call would be wrong, so API wise it is wrong. It's a bit mysterious that this is only observeable on ppc64el and can be fixed by reordering code ever so slightly, but in the end its more our fault for adding this attribute than the compilers fault for doing something silly based on the attribute.

2016-08-31rred: truncate result file before writing to itDavid Kalnischkies
If another file in the transaction fails and hence dooms the transaction we can end in a situation in which a -patched file (= rred writes the result of the patching to it) remains in the partial/ directory. The next apt call will perform the rred patching again and write its result again to the -patched file, but instead of starting with an empty file as intended it will override the content previously in the file which has the same result if the new content happens to be longer than the old content, but if it isn't parts of the old content remain in the file which will pass verification as the new content written to it matches the hashes and if the entire transaction passes the file will be moved the lists/ directory where it might or might not trigger errors depending on if the old content which remained forms a valid file together with the new content. This has no real security implications as no untrusted data is involved: The old content consists of a base file which passed verification and a bunch of patches which all passed multiple verifications as well, so the old content isn't controllable by an attacker and the new one isn't either (as the new content alone passes verification). So the best an attacker can do is letting the user run into the same issue as in the report. Closes: #831762 (cherry picked from commit 0e071dfe205ad21d8b929b4bb8164b008dc7c474)

Note that this isn't really a security improvement as a) the file we patch is trusted & b) if the input is incorrect, the result will hardly be matching, so this is just for failing slightly earlier with a more relevant error message (althrough, in terms of rred its ignored and complete download attempt instead).

The flush call is a no-op in most FileFd implementations so this isn't as critical as it might sound as the only non-trivial implementation is in the buffered writer, which tends not be used to buffer another buffer… (cherry picked from commit 8ca481e8419c19b6ef9074b68cc028177a507161)
2016-08-31report all instead of first error up the acquire chainDavid Kalnischkies
If we don't give a specific error to report up it is likely that all error currently in the error stack are equally important, so reporting just one could turn out to be confusing e.g. if name resolution failed in a SRV record list.

2016-08-31don't change owner/perms/times through file:// symlinksDavid Kalnischkies
If we have files in partial/ from a previous invocation or similar such those could be symlinks created by file:// sources. The code is expecting only real files through and happily changes owner, modification times and permission on the file the symlink points to which tend to be files we have no business in touching in this way. Permissions of symlinks shouldn't be changed, changing owner is usually pointless to, but just to be sure we pick the easy way out and use lchown, check for symlinks before chmod/utimes.

2016-08-31do not treat same-version local debs as downgradeDavid Kalnischkies
As the volatile sources are parsed last they were sorted behind the dpkg/status file and hence are treated as a downgrade, which isn't really what you want to happen as from a user POV its an upgrade. (cherry picked from commit cb9ac09bd6a36e73c2dce1d529acde6e4d15e32d)
2016-08-31reinstalling local deb file is no downgradeDavid Kalnischkies
If we have a (e.g. locally built) deb file installed and do try to install it again apt complained about this being a downgrade, but it wasn't as it is the very same version… it was just confused into not merging the versions together which looks like a downgrade then. The same size assumption is usually good, but given that volatile files are parsed last (even after the status file) the base assumption no longer holds, but is easy to adept without actually changing anything in practice.

2016-08-31protect only the latest same-source providers from autoremoveDavid Kalnischkies
Traditionally all providers are protected providing something as apt can't know which of them is actually really providing the functionality for the user ensuring that we don't propose the removal of used stuff, but that is of course also keeping stuff around which could be removed. That can cause the collection of multiple old providers until the provided package is itself no longer needed (e.g. out-of-tree kernel modules). We combat this by marking providers only from the newest source package version so that old providers built by older versions of the same source package can be garbage collected.

2016-08-31more explicit MarkRequired algorithm code (part 2)David Kalnischkies
As the previous commit, this shouldn't change behavior at all, but beside being more explicit and perhaps faster its also considerably shorter (granted, mostly by if0-block elimination). Gbp-Dch: Ignore (cherry picked from commit 5a3339db48479114a0e1e11ebc8d640eb3e49933)
2016-08-31more explicit MarkRequired algorithm codeDavid Kalnischkies
Piling everything in a single if statement always made my head wobble, but it hasn't even a benefit as the most common case of a package which isn't installed passes all of the old if and lands in the non-existent else-part of the inner if. So beside a subjective cleanup of what goes on this implementation should also be a bit faster. No change in behavior should be present. Gbp-Dch: Ignore (cherry picked from commit 769e9f3ea1cbe67d3b98e6db6c956abde2384868)
