2018-01-03reimplement and simplify mirror:// methodDavid Kalnischkies
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.
2017-12-13report transient errors as transient errorsDavid Kalnischkies
The Fail method for acquire methods has a boolean parameter indicating the transient-nature of a reported error. The problem with this is that Fail is called very late at a point where it is no longer easily identifiable if an error is indeed transient or not, so some calls were and some weren't and the acquire system would later mostly ignore the transient flag and guess by using the FailReason instead. Introducing a tri-state enum we can pass the information about fatal or transient errors through the callstack to generate the correct fails.
2017-11-12Do not attempt seccomp under qemu-user and drop EFAULT workaroundJulian Andres Klode
qemu-user passes prctl()-based seccomp through to the kernel, umodified. That's bad, as it blocks the wrong syscalls. We ignored EFAULT which fixed the problem for targets with different pointer sizes from the host, but was a bad hack. In order to identify qemu we can rely on the fact that qemu-user prints its version and exits with 0 if QEMU_VERSION is set to an unsupported value. If we run a command that should fail in such an environment, and it exits with 0, then we are running in qemu-user. apt-helper is an obvious command to run. The tests ensure it exits with 1, and it only prints usage information. We also could not use /bin/false because apt might just as well be from a foreign arch while /bin/false is not. Closes: #881519
2017-10-27seccomp: Allow clock_nanosleep() and nanosleep() syscallsJulian Andres Klode
We sleep in http.cc, so we should allow the sleeping syscalls.
2017-10-26seccomp: Allow ipc() for fakeroot, and allow sysinfo() for sortJulian Andres Klode
Sorting apparently calls sysconf() which calls sysinfo() to get free pages or whatever. Closes: #879814, #879826
2017-10-26Print syscall number and arch to stderr when trapped by seccompJulian Andres Klode
This should help debugging crashes. The signal handler is a C++11 lambda, yay! Special care has been taken to only use signal handler -safe functions inside there.
2017-10-25Only warn about seccomp() EINVAL (normal) and EFAULT (qemu) errorsJulian Andres Klode
If seccomp is disabled, we fallback to running without it. Qemu fails in the seccomp() call, returning ENOSYS and libseccomp falls back to prctl() without adjusting the pointer, causing the EFAULT. I hope qemu gets fixed at some point to return EINVAL for seccomp via prctl. Bug-Qemu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1726394
2017-10-25methods: Enable additional syscalls (SYSV IPC) in fakerootJulian Andres Klode
If FAKED_MODE is set, enable SYSV IPC so we don't crash when running in fakeroot. Closes: #879662
2017-10-23seccomp: Conditionalize statx() whitelistingJulian Andres Klode
statx was introduced in 4.11, so it fails to build in stretch if we just unconditionally use it.
2017-10-23seccomp: Add missing syscalls for ppc64el, i386, and othersJulian Andres Klode
These are a few overlooked syscalls. Also add readv(), writev(), renameat2(), and statx() in case libc uses them. Gbp-Dch: ignore
2017-10-22Sandbox methods with seccomp-BPF; except cdrom, gpgv, rshJulian Andres Klode
This reduces the number of syscalls to about 140 from about 350 or so, significantly reducing security risks. Also change prepare-release to ignore the architecture lists in the build dependencies when generating the build-depends package for travis. We might want to clean up things a bit more and/or move it somewhere else.
2017-07-26allow the auth.conf to be root:root ownedDavid Kalnischkies
Opening the file before we drop privileges in the methods allows us to avoid chowning in the acquire main process which can apply to the wrong file (imagine Binary scoped settings) and surprises users as their permission setup is overridden. There are no security benefits as the file is open, so an evil method could as before read the contents of the file, but it isn't worse than before and we avoid permission problems in this setup.
2017-07-26reimplement and document auth.confDavid Kalnischkies
We have support for an netrc-like auth.conf file since 0.7.25 (closing 518473), but it was never documented in apt that it even exists and netrc seems to have fallen out of usage as a manpage for it no longer exists making the feature even more arcane. On top of that the code was a bit of a mess (as it is written in c-style) and as a result the matching of machine tokens to URIs also a bit strange by checking for less specific matches (= without path) first. We now do a single pass over the stanzas. In practice early adopters of the undocumented implementation will not really notice the differences and the 'new' behaviour is simpler to document and more usual for an apt user. Closes: #811181
2017-07-12Reformat and sort all includes with clang-formatJulian Andres Klode
This makes it easier to see which headers includes what. The changes were done by running git grep -l '#\s*include' \ | grep -E '.(cc|h)$' \ | xargs sed -i -E 's/(^\s*)#(\s*)include/\1#\2 include/' To modify all include lines by adding a space, and then running ./git-clang-format.sh.

2016-08-17methods: read config in most to least specific orderDavid Kalnischkies
The implementation of the generic config fallback did the fallback in the wrong order so that the least specific option wasn't the last value picked but in fact the first one… doh! So in the bugreports case http -> https -> http::<hostname> -> https::<hostname> while it should have been the reverse as before. Regression-In: 30060442025824c491f58887ca7369f3c572fa57 Closes: 834642
2016-08-10implement generic config fallback for methodsDavid Kalnischkies
The https method implemented for a long while now a hardcoded fallback to the same options in http, which, while it works, is rather inflexible if we want to allow the methods to use another name to change their behavior slightly, like apt-transport-tor does to https – most of the diff being s#https#tor#g which then fails to do the full circle fallthrough tor -> https -> http for https sources. With this config infrastructure this could be implemented now.
2016-08-10detect redirection loops in acquire instead of workersDavid Kalnischkies
Having the detection handled in specific (http) workers means that a redirection loop over different hostnames isn't detected. Its also not a good idea have this implement in each method independently even if it would work
2016-07-06don'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.

2016-06-02ignore std::locale exeception on non-existent "" localeDavid Kalnischkies
In 8b79c94af7f7cf2e5e5342294bc6e5a908cacabf changing to usage of C++ way of setting the locale causes us to be terminated in case of usage of an ungenerated locale as LC_ALL (or similar) – but we don't want to fail here, we just want to carry on as before with setlocale which we call in that case just for good measure.
2016-05-28use std::locale::global instead of setlocaleDavid Kalnischkies
We use a wild mixture of C and C++ ways of generating output, so having a consistent world-view in both styles sounds like a good idea and should help in preventing regressions.
2016-03-15apt-pkg/acquire-worker.cc: Introduce 104 Warning messageJulian Andres Klode
This can be used by workers to send warnings to the main program. The messages will be passed to _error->Warning() by APT with the URI prepended. We are not going to make that really public now, as the interface might change a bit.
2015-11-05allow acquire method specific options via Binary scopeDavid Kalnischkies
Allows users who know what they are getting themselves into with this trick to e.g. disable privilege dropping for e.g. file:// until they can fix up the permissions on those repositories. It helps also the test framework and people with a similar setup (= me) to run in less modified environments.
2015-11-05drop privileges in copy:// method as we do for file://David Kalnischkies
Continueing on the track of dropping privileges in all methods, lets drop it in copy, too, as the reasoning for it is very similar to file and the interaction between the too quiet interesting as copy kinda surfed as a fallback for file not being able to read the file. Both now show a better error message as well as it was previously claiming to have a hashsum mismatch, given that it couldn't read the file. Git-Dch: Ignore
