I should have tested this before pushing it to git.debian.org, but accidentally did not. Gbp-Dch: ignore
2016-03-07apt-pkg/algorithms.cc: Avoid stack buffer overflow in KillListJulian Andres Klode
Dynamically allocate KillList in order to avoid an overflow when more than 100 elements would be written to it. This happened while playing around with the status file from Bug#701069 on a modern system.
2015-08-27Do not parse Status fields from remote sourcesJulian Andres Klode
This could allow an attacker to mark a package as installed in a remote package index, as long as the package was not listed in the dpkg status file. This way, an attacker could force the installation of a package during a dist-upgrade, by providing two packages in an index, an older marked as installed, and a newer - apt would "upgrade" to the newer version.
2015-08-27mark again deps of pkgs in APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections as manualDavid Kalnischkies
In 50ef3344c3afaaf9943142906b2f976a0337d264 (and similar for other branches), while 'fixing' the edgecase of a package being in multiple sections (e.g. moved from libs to oldlibs in newer releases) I accidently broke the feature itself completely by operating on the package itself and no longer on its dependencies… The behaviour isn't ideal in multiple ways, which we are hopefully able to fix with new ideas as mentioned in the buglog, but until then the functionality of this "hack" should be restored. Reported-By: Raphaël Hertzog <hertzog@debian.org> Tested-By: Adam Conrad <adconrad@ubuntu.com> Closes: 793360 LP: 1479207 Thanks: Raphaël Hertzog and Adam Conrad for detailed reports and initial patches
2015-08-27hide first pdiff merge failure debug messageDavid Kalnischkies
The siblings of this message are all guarded as debug messages, just this one had it missing and subsequently causes display issues if triggered, which, given that clog is an alias for cerr, end up on stderr and therefore are reported as problems by tools only showing the stderr like our own cron script. [Backport of f4c7a238f4c29ac9b1e1172f103ab7dec5c5807d] Closes: 793444
2015-04-22remove "first package seen is native package" assumptionDavid Kalnischkies
The fix for #777760 causes packages of foreign (and the native) architectures, to be created correctly, but invalidates (like the previously existing, but policy-forbidden architecture-less packages we had to support for some upgrade scenarios) the assumption that the first (and only) package in the cache for a single architecture system must be the package for the native architecture (as, where should the other architectures come from, right? Wrong.). Depending on the order of parsing sources more or less packages can be effected by this. The effects are strange (for apt it mostly effects simulation/debug output, but also apt-mark on these specific packages), which complicates debugging, but relatively harmless if understood as most actions do not need direct named access to packages. The problem is fixed by removing the single-arch special casing in the paths who had them (Cache.FindPkg), so they use the same code as multi-arch systems, which use them as a wrapper for Grp.FindPkg. Note that single-arch system code was using Grp.FindPkg before as well if a Grp structure was handily available, so we don't introduce new untested code here: We remove more brittle special cases which are less tested instead (this was planed to be done for Stretch anyhow). Note further that the method with the assumption itself isn't fixed. As it is a private method I opted for declaring it deprecated instead and remove all its call positions. As it is private no-one can call this method legally (thanks to how c++ works by default its still an exported symbol through) and fixing it basically means reimplementing code we already have in Grp.FindPkg. Removing rather than fixing seems hence like a good solution. Closes: 782777 Thanks: Axel Beckert for testing
2015-04-12parse specific-arch dependencies correctly on single-arch systemsDavid Kalnischkies
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. Closes: 777760
2015-04-07demote VectorizeString gcc attribute from const to pureDavid Kalnischkies
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.
2015-04-07fix crash in order writing in pkgDPkgPM::WriteApportReport()Michael Vogt
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. [commit message by David Kalnischkies] LP: #1436626
2015-04-07avoid depends on std::string implementation for pkgAcquire::Item::ModeDavid Kalnischkies
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. Closes: 781858
2015-01-10award points for positive dependencies againDavid Kalnischkies
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. Closes: 774924
2014-12-23pass-through stdin fd instead of content if not a terminalDavid Kalnischkies
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). Closes: 773061
2014-12-23always run 'dpkg --configure -a' at the end of our dpkg callingsDavid Kalnischkies
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. Closes: 769609
2014-12-23do not make PTY slave the controlling terminalDavid Kalnischkies
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). Closes: 772641
2014-11-28fix PTY interaction on linux and kfreebsdDavid Kalnischkies
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. Closes: 765687
2014-11-28close leaking slave fd after setting up pty magicDavid Kalnischkies
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. Closes: 767774
2014-11-10allow options between command and -- on commandlineDavid Kalnischkies
This used to work before we implemented a stricter commandline parser and e.g. the dd-schroot-cmd command constructs commandlines like this. Reported-By: Helmut Grohne
2014-11-10deprecate the Section member from package structDavid Kalnischkies
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.
2014-11-10use 'best' hash for source authenticationDavid Kalnischkies
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. LP: 1098738
2014-11-10add a simple container for HashStringsDavid Kalnischkies
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 storage and passing around of the HashStrings. The cherry-pick here the un-const-ification of HashType() compared to f4c3850ea335545e297504941dc8c7a8f1c83358. The point of this commit is adding infrastructure for the next one. All by itself, it just adds new symbols. Git-Dch: Ignore

2014-10-15don't cleanup cdrom files in apt-get updateDavid Kalnischkies
Regression from merging 801745284905e7962aa77a9f37a6b4e7fcdc19d0 and b0f4b486e6850c5f98520ccf19da71d0ed748ae4. While fine by itself, merged the part fixing the filename is skipped if a cdrom source is encountered, so that our list-cleanup removes what seems to be orphaned files. Closes: 765458
2014-10-08Update Status field values handlingGuillem Jover
Remove long obsolete (hold, hold-reinstreq, removal-failed) or just wrong (post-inst-failed vs postinst-failed) values, that have been autoconverted by dpkg at run-time to their new equivalents, so there should not be any such instance in any recent system (removal-failed since dpkg 1.1.4 in Apr 1996, hold and hold-reinstreq since dpkg 1.2.0 in May 1996). dpkg even stopped doing the mapping in 1.15.4 and 1.15.8 respectively. At the same time sort the list in the same order as they appear in the dpkg code.

2014-09-21Ensure that iTFRewritePackageOrder is "MD5sum" to match apt-ftparchiveMichael Vogt
The iTFRewritePackageOrder is used in indexcopy to copy and normalize cdrom Packages files. This change will ensure that there is no "normalization" that changes MD5sum -> MD5Sum which alters the hash of the Packages file on disk (oh the irony).
2014-09-21Fix regression for cdrom: sources from latest security updateMichael Vogt
Skip a reverify for cdrom: sources. The reverify step is actually harmful here because the apt-cdrom add code uses the indexcopy.cc which will "normalize" the Packages file from the cdrom when it writes it to the local disk. This leads to changing the "MD5sum" field (notice the lower case "s") on the cdrom Packages file to a "MD5Sum" field on the local file in /var/lib/apt/lists. Which of course alters the hash and makes apt fail to reverify the file.

2014-09-17Fix regression for file:/// uris from CVE-2014-0487Michael Vogt
Do not run ReverifyAfterIMS() for local file URIs as this will causes apt to mess around in the file:/// uri space. This is wrong in itself, but it will also cause a incorrect verification failure when the archive and the lists directory are on different partitions as rename().

2014-09-08rework PTY magic to fix stair-stepping on kfreebsdDavid Kalnischkies
A pty slave we have got from openpty can only be used for one dpkg child, if we give it to a second child on kfreebsd setting TIOCSCTTY fails causing the output to be stair-stepped from now on. By switching the code to creating a master and opening a new slave in the child for each child we can fix this glitch, so that at least the master remains stable. Closes: 759684
2014-09-08fix progress report for upgrade and reinstallDavid Kalnischkies
APT treats upgrades like installs and dpkg is very similar in this, but prints still a slightly different processing message indicating that it is really an upgrade which we hadn't parsed so far, but this wasn't really visible as we quickly moved on to a 'known' state. More problematic was the reinstall case as apt hadn't recognized this for the package name detection, so that reinstalls had no progress since we introduced MultiArch.

- update string matching for dpkg I/O errors. (LP: #1363257) - properly parse the dpkg status line so that package name is properly set and an apport report is created. Thanks to Anders Kaseorg for the patch. (LP: #1353171)
2014-09-02Make Proxy-Auto-Detect check for each hostMichael Vogt
When doing Acquire::http{,s}::Proxy-Auto-Detect, run the auto-detect command for each host instead of only once. This should make using "proxy" from libproxy-tools feasible which can then be used for PAC style or other proxy configurations. Closes: #759264
2014-08-29initialize iPolicyBrokenCount in DepCache::UpdateWarren He
All other counters are correctly initialized here, expect this one. The practical effect is low as in apt we usually just do "!= 0" checks, but only correct counters are good counters. Closes: 758397
2014-08-26support versioned provides as implemented by dpkgDavid Kalnischkies
APT supported versioned provides for a long while in an attempt to get it working with rpm. While this support is old, we can be relatively sure that it works as versioned provides are used internally to make Multi-Arch:foreign work. Previous versions of apt will print a warning indicating that the versioned provides is ignored, so that something which "Provides: foo (= 2)" doesn't provide anything. Note that dpkg does allow only a equals-relation in the provides line as anything else is deemed too complex. apt doesn't support anything else either and such a support would require potentially big changes. Closes: 758153

2014-07-29Fix SmartConfigure to ignore ordering of packages that are already validMichael Vogt
With the change of SmartConfigure() in git commit 42d51f the ordering code was trying to re-order dependencies, even when at this point in time this was not needed. Now it will first check all targets of the given dependency and only if there is not a good one try to reorder and unpack/configure as needed. Closes: LP: #1347721

2014-07-16StringToBool: only act if the entire string is consumed by strtol()Michael Vogt
StringToBool uses strtol() internally to check if the argument is a number. This function stops when it does not find any more numbers. So a string like "0ad" (which is a valid packagename) is interpreted as a "0". The code now checks that the entire string is consumed not just a part of it. Thanks to Johannes Schauer for raising this issue.

2014-07-07handle moved mmap after UniqFindTagWrite callDavid Kalnischkies
A call to UniqFindTagWrite can trigger the need for a bigger mmap, which is usually done by moving it, but with this move all pointers into it become invalid (and have to be remapped). The compiler calculates the pointer before the execution of the call though, so it tries to store the returned value at the old location, resulting in a segfault. We solve this by use of a temprorary variable as we did in the other instances of this problem before. Closes: #753941
