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.
|
|
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.

This flags is generally handy to avoid having to deal with ipv6 results on an
ipv4-only system, but it prevents e.g. the testcases from working if the
testsystem has no configured address at the moment (expect loopback), so
allow it to be sidestepped and let the testcases sidestep it.

Unlinking /dev/null is bad, we shouldn't do that. Also, we should print
at least a warning if we tried to unlink a file but didn't manage to
pull it of (ignoring the case were the file is /dev/null or doesn't
exist in the first place).
This got triggered by a relatively unlikely to cause problem in
pkgAcquire::Worker::PrepareFiles which would while temporary
uncompressed files (which are set to keep compressed) figure out that to
files are the same and prepare for sharing by deleting them. Bad move.
That also shows why not printing a warning is a bad idea as this hide
the error for in non-root test runs.

Detecting network errors has some benefits in the acquire system as if
we can't connect to a host trying it for a million files is pointless.
http and co which use connect.cc deal with this, but https which uses
curl had connection failures as "normal" errors which could potentially
be worked around (like trying Release instead of the failed InRelease).

Commit 653ef26c70dc9c0e2cbfdd4e79117876bb63e87d broke the camels back in
sofar that everything works in terms of our internal use of copy:/, but
external use is completely destroyed. This is kinda the reverse of what
happened in "parallel" in the sid branch, where external use was mostly
fine, internal and external exploded on the GzipIndexes option.
We fix this now by rewriting our internal use by letting copy:/ only do
what the name suggests it does: Copy files and not uncompress them
on-the-fly. Then we teach copy and the uncompressors how to deal with
/dev/null and use it as destination file in case we don't want to store
the uncompressed files on disk.

We drop it in decompressors, which are the natural next step, so if an
archive is used which isn't worldreadable (= not accessible by _apt) it
doesn't work anyway, so we just fail a bit earlier now and avoid all the
bad things which can happen over file (which could very well still be a
network resourc via NFS mounts or similar stuff, so hardly as safe as
the name might suggest at first).

Our error reporting is historically grown into some kind of mess.
A while ago I implemented stacking for the global error which is used in
this commit now to wrap calls to functions which do not report (all)
errors via return, so that only failures in those calls cause a failure
to propergate down the chain rather than failing if anything
(potentially totally unrelated) has failed at some point in the past.
This way we can avoid stopping the entire acquire process just because a
single source produced an error for example. It also means that after
the acquire process the cache is generated – even if the acquire
process had failures – as we still have the old good data around we can and
should generate a cache for (again).
There are probably more instances of this hiding, but all these looked
like the easiest to work with and fix with reasonable (aka net-positive)
effects.

Some additional files like 'Contents' are very big and should therefore
kept compressed on the disk, which apt-file did in the past. It also
implemented pdiff patching of these files by un- and recompressing these
files on-the-fly, with this commit we can do the same – but we can do
this in both pdiff patching styles (client and server merging) and
secured by hashes.
Hashes are in so far slightly complicated as we can't compare the hashes
of the compressed files as we might compress them differently than the
server would (different compressor versions, options, …), so we must
compare the hashes of the uncompressed content.
While this commit has changes in public headers, the classes it changes
are marked as hidden, so nobody can use them directly, which means the
ABI break is internal only.

The previous commit returns to the possibility of using just gpgv for
verification proposes. There is one problem through: We can't enforce a
specific keyid without using gpg, but our acquire method can as it
parses gpgv output anyway, so it can deal with good signatures from not
expected signatures and treats them as unknown keys instead.

There is an option to keep all targets (Packages, Sources, …) compressed
for a while now, but the all-or-nothing approach is a bit limited for
our purposes with additional targets as some of them are very big
(Contents) and rarely used in comparison, so keeping them compressed by
default can make sense, while others are still unpacked.
Most interesting is the copy-change maybe: Copy is used by the acquire
system as an uncompressor and it is hence expected that it returns the
hashes for the "output", not the input. Now, in the case of keeping a
file compressed, the output is never written to disk, but generated in
memory and we should still validated it, so for compressed files copy is
expected to return the hashes of the uncompressed file. We used to use
the config option to enable on-the-fly decompress in the method, but in
reality copy is never used in a way where it shouldn't decompress a
compressed file to get its hashes, so we can save us the trouble of
sending this information to the method and just do it always.

Limits which key(s) can be used to sign a repository. Not immensely useful
from a security perspective all by itself, but if the user has
additional measures in place to confine a repository (like pinning) an
attacker who gets the key for such a repository is limited to its
potential and can't use the key to sign its attacks for an other (maybe
less limited) repository… (yes, this is as weak as it sounds, but having
the capability might come in handy for implementing other stuff later).

All other methods call it, so they should follow along even if the work
they do afterwards is hardly breathtaking and usually results in a
URIDone pretty soon, but the acquire system tells the individual item
about this via a virtual method call, so even through none of our
existing items contains any critical code in these, maybe one day they
might. Consistency at least once…
Which is also why this has a good sideeffect: file: and cdrom: requests
appear now in the 'apt-get update' output. Finally - it never made sense
to hide them for me. Okay, I guess it made before the new hit behavior,
but now that you can actually see the difference in an update it makes
sense to see if a file: repository changed or not as well.

'file' isn't using the destination file per-se, but returns another name
via "Filename" header. It still should deal with destination files as
they could exist (pkgAcqFile e.g. creates links in that location) and
are potentially bogus.

At the moment we only have hashes for the uncompressed pdiff files, but
via the new '$HASH-Download' field in the .diff/Index hashes can be
provided for the .gz compressed pdiff file, which apt will pick up now
and use to verify the download. Now, we "just" need a buy in from the
creators of repositories…
|
|
The rred parser is very accepting regarding 'invalid' files. Given that
we can't trust the input it might be a bit too relaxed. In any case,
checking for more errors can't hurt given that we support only a very
specific subset of ed commands.
|
|
rred is responsible for unpacking and reading the patch files in one go,
but we currently only have hashes for the uncompressed patch files, so
the handler read the entire patch file before dispatching it to the
worker which would read it again – both with an implicit uncompress.
Worse, while the workers operate in parallel the handler is the central
orchestration unit, so having it busy with work means the workers do
(potentially) nothing.
This means rred is working with 'untrusted' data, which is bad. Yet,
having the unpack in the handler meant that the untrusted uncompress was
done as root which isn't better either. Now, we have it at least
contained in a binary which we can harden a bit better. In the long run,
we want hashes for the compressed patch files through to be safe.
|
|
Having every item having its own code to verify the file(s) it handles
is an errorprune process and easy to break, especially if items move
through various stages (download, uncompress, patching, …). With a giant
rework we centralize (most of) the verification to have a better
enforcement rate and (hopefully) less chance for bugs, but it breaks the
ABI bigtime in exchange – and as we break it anyway, it is broken even
harder.
It shouldn't effect most frontends as they don't deal with the acquire
system at all or implement their own items, but some do and will need to
be patched (might be an opportunity to use apt on-board material).
The theory is simple: Items implement methods to decide if hashes need to
be checked (in this stage) and to return the expected hashes for this
item (in this stage). The verification itself is done in worker message
passing which has the benefit that a hashsum error is now a proper error
for the acquire system rather than a Done() which is later revised to a
Failed().

The variable "Size" was misleading and caused bug #1445239. To
avoid similar issues in the future, rename it to make the meaning
more obvious.
git-dch: ignore
|
|
The apt http code parses Content-Length and Content-Range. For
both requests the variable "Size" is used and the semantic for
this Size is the total file size. However Content-Length is not
the entire file size for partital file requests. For servers that
send the Content-Range header first and then the Content-Length
header this can lead to globbing of Size so that its less than
the real file size. This may lead to a subsequent passing of a
negative number into the CircleBuf which leads to a endless
loop that writes data.
Thanks to Anton Blanchard for the analysis and initial patch.
LP: #1445239

Not all servers we are talking to support If-Modified-Since and some are
not even sending Last-Modified for us, so in an effort to detect such
hits we run a hashsum check on the 'old' compared to the 'new' file, we
got the hashes for the 'new' already for "free" from the methods anyway
and hence just need to calculated the old ones.
This allows us to detect hits even with unsupported servers, which in
turn means we benefit from all the new hit behavior also here.
|
|
If we have the expected hashes we can check with them if the file we
have in partial we got a 416 for is the expected file. We detected this
with same-size before, but not every server sends a good Content-Range
header with a 416 response.
|
|
We do this in HTTP already to give the CPU some exercise while the disk
is heavily spinning (or flashing?) to store the data avoiding the need
to reread the entire file again later on to calculate the hashes – which
happens outside of the eyes of progress reporting, so you might ended up
with a bunch of https workers 'stuck' at 100% while they were busy
calculating hashes.
This is a bummer for everyone using apt as a connection speedtest as the
https method works slower now (not really, it just isn't reporting done
too early anymore).
|
|
Methods get told which hashes are expected by the acquire system, which
means we can use this list to restrict what we calculate in the methods
as any extra we are calculating is wasted effort as we can't compare it
with anything anyway.
Adding support for a new hash algorithm is therefore 'free' now and if a
algorithm is no longer provided in a repository for a file, we
automatically stop calculating it.
In practice this results in a speed-up in Debian as we don't have SHA512
here (so far), so we practically stop calculating it.

Servers who advertise that they close the connection get the 'Closes'
encoding flag, but this conflicts with servers who response with a
transfer-encoding (e.g. encoding) as it is saved in the same flag.
We have a better flag for the keep-alive (or not) of the connection
anyway, so we check this instead of the encoding.
This is in practice not much of a problem as real servers we talk to are
HTTP1.1 servers (with keep-alive) and there isn't much point in doing
chunked encoding if you are going to close anyway, but our simple
testserver stumbles over this if pressed and its a bit cleaner, too.

file sends information about the uncompressed file if it can find it as
well as for the compressed file. This was done only for gzip so far, but
we support more compression types. That this information isn't used a

The worker expects that the methods tell him when they start or finish
downloading a file. Various information pieces are passed along in this
report including the (expected) filesize. https was using a "global"
struct for reporting which made it 'reuse' incorrect values in some
cases like a non-existent InRelease fallbacking to Release{,.gpg}
resulting in a size-mismatch warning. Reducing the scope and redesigning
the setting of the values we can fix this and related issues.

Other branches as well as the bugreports contain 'better' fixes making the

Bug #778375 uncovered that https wasn't properly integrated in the class
family tree of http as it was supposed to be leading to a NULL pointer
dereference. Fixing this 'properly' was deemed to much diff for
practically no gain that late in the release, so commit
0c2dc43d4fe1d026650b5e2920a021557f9534a6 just fixed the synptom, while
this commit here is fixing the cause plus adding a test.
