2017-06-26Show permission error if ProxyAutoDetect cmd can't be executedDavid Kalnischkies
As the proxy commands are not executed as root, a user can run into permission errors (s)he isn't expecting – as our switching is an implementation detail – so the error message in that case should really be better than a generic "error code 100" sending the user in the wrong direction as that implies the command was executed, but errored out. Closes: 857885
2017-06-26avoid explicit types for pkg counts by autoDavid Kalnischkies
Changes nothing on the program front and as the datatypes are sufficently comparable fixes no bug either, but problems later on if we ever change the types of those and prevent us using types which are too large for the values we want to store waste (a tiny bit of) resources. Gbp-Dch: Ignore
2017-06-26schedule the correct side of the conflict for removalDavid Kalnischkies
In complex situations in which we want to unpack a package which has a conflict/breaks on another package which must be removed due this conflict apt can decide to perform this remove earlier than initially planned. Problem: For three years apt wouldn't remove that package, but the package which has the conflict… The situation isn't very common and easily hidden as the package which is removed is unpacked a few actions later – it becomes visible for packages which protect themselves from removal through like systemd as the running init resulting in upgrade failures (#854041). Note that the package isn't purged, so data shouldn't be lost even if a user runs into a "hidden" case of it as long as the package sticks to the policy of removing data only on purge. Reaching this situation artificially is hard, which is why no testcase is included, as the situation is highly state dependent. Testing with "real" systems indicate that slight modifications in the installed packages set can make the bug not trigger.

2017-06-26pkgcache: Bump major version to 12Julian Andres Klode
We need to be able to update 1.4.y in different ways than later apt versions, and thus need to bump the major version so there is no collision in the minor version at some point.
2017-05-31Fix parsing of or groups in build-deps with ignored packagesJulian Andres Klode
If the last alternative(s) of an Or group is ignored, because it does not match an architecture list, we would end up keeping the or flag, effectively making the next AND an OR. For example, when parsing (on amd64): debhelper (>= 9), libnacl-dev [amd64] | libnacl-dev [i386] => debhelper (>= 9), libnacl-dev | Which can cause python-apt to crash. Even worse: debhelper (>= 9), libnacl-dev [amd64] | libnacl-dev [i386], foobar => debhelper (>= 9), libnacl-dev [amd64] | foobar By setting the previous alternatives Or flag to the current Or flag if the current alternative is ignored, we solve the issue. LP: #1694697
2017-03-19Fix and avoid quoting in CommandLine::AsStringDavid Kalnischkies
In the intended usecase where this serves as a hack there is no problem with double/single quotes being present as we write it to a log file only, but nowadays our calling of apt-key produces a temporary config file containing this "setting" as well and suddently quoting is important as the config file syntax is allergic to it. So the fix is to ignore all quoting whatsoever in the input and just quote (with singles) the option values with spaces. That gives us 99% of the time the correct result and the 1% where the quote is an integral element of the option … doesn't exist – or has bigger problems than a log file not containing the quote. Same goes for newlines in values. LP: #1672710

2017-02-11Don'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. Thanks: James Clarke for debugging these issues Reported-by: James Clarke <jrtc27@jrtc27.com>
2017-02-10Do 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...). Closes: #854794

2017-01-28Only 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. Closes: #838441
2017-01-27avoid malloc if option whitelist is disabled (default)David Kalnischkies
Config options are checked in various paths, so making "useless" memory allocations wastes time and can also cause problems like #852757. The unneeded malloc was added in ae73a2944a89e0d2406a2aab4a4c082e1e9da3f9. (We have no explicit malloc here – its std:string doing this internally)

2017-01-19remove '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. Closes: 846476
2017-01-19avoid 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.

2017-01-17Read dpkg tables to handle architecture wildcardsJulian Andres Klode
Our implementation of wildcards was rudimentary. It worked for some common ones, but it was also broken: For example, armel matched any-armel, but should match any-arm. With this commit, we load the correct tables from dpkg. Supported are both triplets and quadruplet tables (the latter introduced in dpkg 1.18.11). There are some odd things we have to deal with in the cache filter for historical and API reasons: * The character "*" must be accepted as an alternative to any - in fact it may appear anywhere in the wildcard as we also allow fnmatch() style wildcard matching on the commandline. * The code might get passed an arch with a minus at the end, for example the cmdline "install apt:any-arm-" will first try to check if any-arm- is a valid architecture. We deal with this by rejecting any wildcard ending in a minus. * Triplets are actually implemented by extending them to faux quadruplets - by prepending a "base" component for the architecture tuple, and "any" if there is a wildcard component. Once we have constructed a wildcard, it is transformed into an fnmatch() expression for historical reasons. In the future, we should really get a tuple class and implement matching in a better, more explicit way. This does for now though - it passes all the test cases and accepts all things it should accept. Closes: #748936 Thanks: James Clarke <jrtc27@jrtc27.com> for the initial patch

2016-12-31allow warning generation for non-whitelisted optionsDavid Kalnischkies
The idea is simple: Each¹ Find*( call starts with a call check if the given option (with the requested type) exists in the whitelist. The whitelist is specified via our configure-index file so that we have a better chance at keeping it current. the whitelist is loaded via a special (undocumented for now) configuration stanza and if none is loaded the empty whitelist will make it so that no warnings are shown. Much needs to be done still, but that is as good a time as any to take a snapshot of the current state and release it into the wild given that it found some bugs already and has no practical effect on users. ¹ not all in this iteration, but many
2016-12-31fix minimum pkgs option for dpkg --recursive usageDavid Kalnischkies
Interpreting a boolean as an int works just fine – it just hasn't the intended result – it isn't a serious problem through as the disabling of the usage of this dpkg calling style is just an "optimization"
2016-12-31use FindB instead of FindI for Debug::pkgAutoRemoveDavid Kalnischkies
Again no practical difference, but for consistency a boolean option should really be accessed via a boolean method rather than an int especially if you happen to try setting the option to "true" … Gbp-Dch: Ignore
2016-12-31avoid producing invalid options if repo has no hostDavid Kalnischkies

The crude way of preparing a message to be a multiline value failed at generation valid deb822 in case the error message ended with a new line like the resolving errors from apt do. apt itself can parse these, but other tools like grep-dctrl choke on it, so be nice and print valid.

2016-12-31warn if clearsigned file has ignored content partsDavid Kalnischkies
Clearsigned files like InRelease, .dsc, .changes and co can potentially include unsigned or additional messages blocks ignored by gpg in verification, but a potential source of trouble in our own parsing attempts – and an unneeded risk as the usecases for the clearsigned files we deal with do not reasonably include unsigned parts (like emails or some such). This commit changes the silent ignoring to warnings for now to get an impression on how widespread unintended unsigned parts are, but eventually we want to turn these into hard errors.
2016-12-16reword "Can't drop priv" warning messageDavid Kalnischkies
Note: This is a warning about disabling a security feature. It is supposed to be scary as we are disabling a security feature and we can't just be silent about it! Downloads really shouldn't happen any longer as root to decrease the attack surface – but if a warning causes that much uproar, consider what an error would do… The old WARNING message: | W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file 'foobar' couldn't be | accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied) is frequently (incorrectly) considered to be an error message indicating that the download didn't happen which isn't the case, it was performed, but without all the security features enabled we could have used if run from some other place… The word "unsandboxed" is chosen as the term 'sandbox(ed)' is a common encounter in feature lists/changelogs and more people are hopefully able to make the connection to 'security' than it is the case for 'privilege dropping' which is more correct, but far less known. Closes: #813786 LP: #1522675
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. Affected: >= 1.1.9
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. Affected: >= 0.9.8 Reported-By: Jann Horn <jannh@google.com> Thanks: Jann Horn, Google Project Zero for reporting the issue LP: #1647467
2016-11-25get pdiff files from the same mirror as the indexDavid Kalnischkies
In ad9416611ab83f7799f2dcb4bf7f3ef30e9fe6f8 we fall back to asking the original mirror (e.g. a redirector) if we do not get the expected result. This works for the indexes, but patches are a different beast and much simpler. Adding this fallback code here seems like overkill as they are usually right along their Index file, so actually forward the relevant settings to the patch items which fixes pdiff support combined with a redirector and partial mirrors as in such a situation the pdiff patches would be 404 and the complete index would be downloaded.
2016-11-24report apt-key errors via status-fd messagesDavid Kalnischkies
We report warnings from apt-key this way already since 29c590951f812d9e9c4f17706e34f2c3315fb1f6, so reporting errors seems like a good addition. Most of those errors aren't really from apt-key through, but from the code setting up and actually calling it which used to just print to stderr which might or might not intermix them with (other) progress lines in update calls. Having them as proper error messages in the system means that the errors are actually collected later on for the list instead of ending up with our relatively generic but in those cases bogus hint regarding "is gpgv installed?". The effective difference is minimal as the errors apply mostly to systems which have far worse problems than a not as nice looking error message, which makes this pretty hard to test – but at least now the hint that your system is broken can be read in proper order (= there aren't many valid cases in which the permissions of /tmp are messed up…).

2016-11-24skip unconfigure for unconfigured to-be removed pkgsDavid Kalnischkies
2016-11-24do not configure unconfigured to be removed packagesDavid Kalnischkies
We try to configure all packages at the end which need to be configured, but that also applies to packages which weren't completely installed (e.g. maintainerscript failed) we end up removing in this interaction instead. APT doesn't perform this explicit configure in the end as it is using "dpkg --configure --pending", but it does confuse the progress report and potentially also hook scripts.

2016-11-24don't perform implicit crossgrades involving M-A:sameDavid Kalnischkies
dpkg stumbles over these (#844300) and we haven't dropped 'easier' removes to be implicit and to be scheduled by dpkg by default so far so we shouldn't push the decision in such cases to dpkg either.
2016-11-24improve arch-unqualified dpkg-progress parsingDavid Kalnischkies
Our old idea was to look for the first package which would be "touched" and take this as the package dpkg is talking about, but that is incorrect in complicated situations like a package upgraded to/from multiple M-A:same siblings installed. As we us the progress report to decide what is still needed we have to be reasonabily right about the package dpkg is talking about, so we jump to quite a few loops to get it.
2016-11-23correct cross & disappear progress detectionDavid Kalnischkies
Given that we use the progress information to skip over actions dpkg has already done like not purging a package which was already removed and had no config files or not acting on disappeared packages and such it is important that apt and dpkg agree on which states the package has to pass through. To ensure that we keep tabs on this in the future a warning is added at the end if apt hasn't seen all the action it was supposed to see. I can't wait for the first bugreporters to wonder about this…
2016-11-23react to trig-pend only if we have nothing else to doDavid Kalnischkies
If a package is triggered dpkg frequently issues two messages about it causing us to make a note about it both times which messes up our planned dpkg actions view. Adding these actions if we have nothing else planned fixes this and should still be correct as those planned actions will deal with the triggering just fine and we avoid strange problems like a package triggered before its removed…
2016-11-22Do not use MD5SumValue for Description_md5()Julian Andres Klode
Our profile says we spend about 5% of the time transforming the hex digits into the binary format used by HashsumValue, all for comparing them against the other strings. That makes no sense at all. According to callgrind, this reduces the overall instruction count from 5,3 billion to 5 billion in my example, which roughly matches the 5%.
2016-11-22debListParser: Micro-optimize AvailableDescriptionLanguages()Julian Andres Klode
Generating a string for each version we see is somewhat inefficient. The problem here is that the Description tag names are longer than 15 byte, and thus require an allocation on the heap, which we should avoid. It seems reasonable that 20 characters works for all languages codes used for archive descriptions, but if not, there's a warning, so we'll catch that. This should improve performance by about 2%.
2016-11-22Compare size before data when ordering cache bucket entriesJulian Andres Klode
This has the effect of significantly reducing actual string comparisons, and should improve the performance of FindGrp a bit, although it's hardly measureable (callgrind says it uses 10% instructions less now).
2016-11-22Optimize VersionHash() to not need temporary copy of inputJulian Andres Klode
Stop copying stuff, and just parse the bytes one by-one to the newly created AddCRC16Byte. This improves the instruction count for an update run from 720,850,121 to 455,801,749 according to callgrind.
2016-11-22Introduce tolower_ascii_unsafe() and use it for hashingJulian Andres Klode
This one has some obvious collisions for non-alphabetical characters, like some control characters also hashing to numbers, but we don't really have those, and these are hash functions which are not collision free to begin with.
2016-11-22Bump the cache major version for non-backportable changesJulian Andres Klode
We already have two stable series with major version 10, and the next commits will introduce non-backportable performance changes that affect the cache algorithms, so we need to bump the major version now to prevent future problems.
2016-11-22debListParser: Convert to use pkgTagSection::Key-based lookupJulian Andres Klode
