2018-10-05Set DPKG_FRONTEND_LOCKED when running {pre,post}-invoke scriptsJulian Andres Klode
Some post-invoke scripts install packages, which fails because the environment variable is not set. This sets the variable for all three kinds of scripts {pre,post-}invoke and pre-install-pkgs, but we will only allow post-invoke at a later time. Gbp-Dch: full
2018-09-24pkgCacheFile: Only unlock in destructor if locked beforeJulian Andres Klode
pkgCacheFile's destructor unlocks the system, which is confusing if you did not open the cachefile with WithLock set. Create a private data instance that holds the value of WithLock. This regression was introduced in commit b2e465d6d32d2dc884f58b94acb7e35f671a87fe: Join with aliencode Author: jgg Date: 2001-02-20 07:03:16 GMT Join with aliencode by replacing a "Lock" member that was only initialized when the lock was taken by calls to Lock, UnLock; with the latter also taking place if the former did not occur.

2018-09-24Fix calculation of elapsed usec in downloadsJulian Andres Klode
A recent change to use chronos inadvertently replaced the difference of new usec - old usec with new sec - old usec, which is obviously wrong.
2018-09-11Support multiple keyrings in sources.list Signed-ByDavid Kalnischkies
A user can specify multiple fingerprints for a while now, so its seems counter-intuitive to support only one keyring, especially if this isn't really checked or enforced and while unlikely mixtures of both should work properly, too, instead of a kinda random behaviour.
2018-09-11Support subkeys properly in Signed-By optionsDavid Kalnischkies
If we limit a file to be signed by a certain key it should usually accept also being signed by any of this keys subkeys instead of requiring each subkey to be listed explicitly. If the later is really wanted we support now also the same syntax as gpg does with appending an exclamation mark at the end of the fingerprint to force no mapping.
2018-09-11Reorder progress report messagesDavid Kalnischkies
We are seeing 'processing' messages from dpkg first, so it makes sense to translate them to "Preparing" messages instead of using "Installing" and co to override these shortly after with the "Preparing" messages. The difference isn't all to visible as later messages tend to linger far longer in the display than the ealier ones, but at least in a listing it seems more logical.
2018-09-11Don't expect duplicated dpkg status-fd messagesDavid Kalnischkies
The progress reporting relies on parsing the status reports of dpkg which used to repeat being in the same state multiple times in the same run, but by fixing #365921 it will stop doing so. The problem is in theory just with 'config-files' in case we do purge as this (can) do remove + purge in one step, but we remove this also for the unpack + configure combination althrough we handle these currently in two independent dpkg calls.
2018-09-11Process status-fd completely before finishing dpkg callDavid Kalnischkies
Exiting the processing loop as soon as the dpkg process finishes might leave status-fd lines unprocessed which wasn't much of a problem in the past as the progress would just be slightly off, but now that we us the information also for skipping already done tasks and generate warnings if we didn't see all expected messages we should make sure we seem them all. We still need to exit "early" if dpkg exited unsuccessfully/crashed through as the (remaining) status lines we get could be incomplete.

2018-08-29Don't use invalid iterator in Fallback-Of handlingDavid Kalnischkies
cppcheck reports: (error) Iterator 't' used after element has been erased. The loop is actually fashioned to deal with this (not in the most efficient way, but in simplest and speed isn't really a concern here) IF this codepath had a "break" at the end… so I added one. Note that the tests aren't failing before (and hopefully after) the change as the undefined behavior we encounter is too stable. Thanks: David Binderman for reporting
2018-08-20clear alternative URIs for mirror:// between steps (CVE-2018-0501)David Kalnischkies
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.

2018-08-08Set DPKG_FRONTEND_LOCKED as needed when doing selection changesJulian Andres Klode
We forgot to set the variable for the selection changes. Let's set it for that and some other dpkg calls. Regression-Of: c2c8b4787b0882234ba2772ec7513afbf97b563a
2018-08-07Add support for dpkg frontend lockJulian Andres Klode
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. Closes: #869546 [fixups: fix error messages, add public IsLocked() method, and make {Un,}LockInner return an error on !debSystem]
2018-07-06Use cheaper entropy source for randomizing items to fetchJulian Andres Klode
The random_device fails if not enough entropy is available. We do not need high-quality entropy here, though, so let's switch to a seed based on the current time in nanoseconds, XORed with the PID.
2018-06-13Fix lock counting in debSystemJulian Andres Klode
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.
2018-05-28Use a steady clock source for progress reportingDavid Kalnischkies
Clock changes while apt is running can result in strange reports confusing (and amusing) users. Sadly, to keep the ABI for now the code is a bit more ugly than it would need to be.
2018-05-28Don't show acquire warning for "hidden" componentsDavid Kalnischkies
Commit d7c92411dc1f4c6be098d1425f9c1c075e0c2154 introduced a warning for non-existent files from components not mentioned in Components to hint users at a mispelling or the disappearance of a component. The debian-installer subcomponent isn't actively advertised in the Release file through, so if apt ends up in acquiring a file which doesn't exist for this component (like Translation files) apt would produce a warning: W: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/debian-installer/i18n/Translation-en' as repository 'http://deb.debian.org/debian buster InRelease' doesn't have the component 'main/debian-installer' (component misspelt in sources.list?) We prevent this in the future by checking if any file exists from this component which results in the warning to be produced still for the intended cases and silence it on the d-i case. This could potentially cause the warning not to be produced in cases it should be if some marginal file remains, but as this message is just a hint and the setup a bit pathological lets ignore it for now. There is also the possibility of having no file present as they would all be 0-length files and being a "hidden" component, but that would be easy to workaround from the repository side and isn't really actively used at the moment in the wild.

2018-05-21Increase debug verbosity in `apt-get autoremove`Filipe Brandenburger
When running with Debug::pkgAutoRemove=yes, explain why certain packages are being marked, either because they're marked essential/important or because they match the blacklist from APT::NeverAutoRemove. This should help troubleshoot cases where autoremove is not proposing removal of packages expected to be up for removal. Tested manually with `apt-get autoremove -o Debug::pkgAutoRemove=yes`.
2018-05-11Don't force the same mirror for by-hash URIsDavid Kalnischkies
Downloading from the same mirror we got a Release file from makes sense for non-unique URIs as their content changes between mirror states, but if we ask for an index via by-hash we can be sure that we either get the file we wanted or a 404 for which we can perform a fallback for which allows us to pull indexes from different mirror in parallel.
2018-05-11Handle by-hash URI construction more centrallyDavid Kalnischkies
Individual items shouldn't concern themselves with these alternative locations, we can deal with this more efficiently within the infrastructure created for other alternative URIs now avoiding the need to implement this in each item.
2018-05-11Drop alternative URIs we got a hash-based fail fromDavid Kalnischkies
If we got a file but it produced a hash error, mismatched size or similar we shouldn't fallback to alternative URIs as they likely result in the same error. If we can we should instead use another mirror. We used to be a lot stricter by stopping all trys for this file if we got a non-404 (or a hash-based) failure, but that is too hard as we really want to try other mirrors (if we have them) in the hope that they have the expected and correct files.
2018-05-11Deprectate buggy/incorrect Rls/PkgFile::IsOk methodsDavid Kalnischkies
With the advent of compressed files and especially with in-memory post-processed files the simple assumptions made in IsOk are no longer true. Worse, they are at best duplicates of checks performed by the cache generation (and validation) earlier and isn't used in too many places. It is hence best to simply get right of these calls instead of trying to fix them.
2018-05-11Start pkg records for deb files with dpkg outputDavid Kalnischkies
It is easier to prepend our fields, but that results in confusion for things working on the so generated records as they don't start with the usual "Package" – that shouldn't be a problem in theory, but in practice e.g. "apt-cache show" shows these records directly to the user who will probably be more confused by it than tools.
2018-05-11don't try SRV requests based on IP addressesDavid Kalnischkies
IP addresses are by definition not a domain so in the best case the requests will just fail; we can do better than that on our own.

2018-03-19Bump cache major version to allow different 1.5 and 1.6 updatesJulian Andres Klode
Shipping 1.6 with major 12 would not allow us to update 1.5.y in a different way than 1.6.y if we have to without resorting to minor version hacks. Let's just bump the major instead.

zstd is a compression algorithm developed by facebook. At level 19, it is about 6% worse in size than xz -6, but decompression is multiple times faster, saving about 40% install time, especially with eatmydata on cloud instances.

2018-02-19Check that Date of Release file is not in the futureJulian Andres Klode
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.
2018-02-19ensure correct file permissions for auxfilesDavid Kalnischkies
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.

2018-02-19indexcopy: Copy uncompressed indices from cdrom againJulian Andres Klode
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. LP: #1746807
2018-01-19allow the apt/lists/auxfiles/ directory to be missingDavid Kalnischkies
apt 1.6~alpha6 introduced aux requests to revamp the implementation of a-t-mirror. This already included the potential of running as non-root, but the detection wasn't complete resulting in errors or could produce spurious warnings along the way if the directory didn't exist yet. References: ef9677831f62a1554a888ebc7b162517d7881116 Closes: 887624
2018-01-17Introduce inrelease-path option for sources.listJulian Andres Klode
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. Closes: #886745
2018-01-05dpkg status parsing: check if name is valid before useDavid Kalnischkies
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.
2018-01-04simplify translating "lists directory missing" msgDavid Kalnischkies

2018-01-03require methods to request AuxRequest capability at startupDavid Kalnischkies
