[Comment from commiter:] I have the feeling that the issue itself is
fixed for a while already as nowadays we have testcases involving a
webserver closing the connection on error (look for "closeOnError") and
no even remotely recent reports about it, but moving the content
clearance above the failure report is a valid change and shouldn't hurt.
Closes: #465572

The 0.0.0.0:0 tor reports is pretty useless by itself, but even if an IP
would be reported it is better to show the user the hostname we wanted
the proxy to connect to in the same error message. We improve upon it
further by looking for this bind address in particular and remap error
messages slightly to give users a better chance of figuring out what
went wrong. Upstream Tor can't do that as it is technically wrong.

Commit 3af3ac2f5ec007badeded46a94be2bd06b9917a2 (released in 1.3~pre1)
implements proper fallback for SRV, but that works actually too good
as the RFC defines that such an SRV record should indicate that the
server doesn't provide this service and apt should respect this.
The solution is hence to fail again as requested even if that isn't what
the user (and perhaps even the server admins) wanted. At least we will
print a message now explicitly mentioning SRV to point people in the
right direction.

In gpgv1 GOODSIG (and the other messages of status-fd) are documented as
sending the long keyid. In gpgv2 it is documented to be either long
keyid or the fingerprint. At the moment it is still the long keyid, but
the documentation hints at the possibility of changing this.
We care about this for Signed-By support as we detect this way if the
right fingerprint has signed this file (or not). The check itself is
done via VALIDSIG which always is a fingerprint, but there must also be
a GOODSIG (as expired sigs are valid, too) found to be accepted which
wouldn't be found in the fingerprint-case and the signature hence
refused.

memcpy is marked as nonnull for its input, but ignores the input anyhow
if the declared length is zero. Our SHA2 implementations do this as
well, it was "just" MD5 and SHA1 missing, so we add the length check
here as well as along the callstack as it is really pointless to do all
these method calls for "nothing".

In 105503b4b470c124bc0c271bd8a50e25ecbe9133 we got a warning implemented
for unreadable files which greatly improves the behavior of apt update
already as everything will work as long as we don't need the keys
included in these files. The behavior if they are needed is still
strange through as update will fail claiming missing keys and a manual
test (which the user will likely perform as root) will be successful.
Passing the new warning generated by apt-key through to apt is a bit
strange from an interface point of view, but basically duplicating the
warning code in multiple places doesn't feel right either. That means we
have no translation for the message through as apt-key has no i18n yet.
It also means that if the user has a bunch of sources each of them will
generate a warning for each unreadable file which could result in quite
a few duplicated warnings, but "too many" is better than none.

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.

If a server closes a connection after sending us a file that tends to
mean that its a type of server who always closes the connection – it is
therefore relatively pointless to try pipelining with it even if it
isn't a problem by itself: apt is just restarting the pipeline each
time after it got served one file and the connection is closed.
The problem starts if one or more proxies are between the server and apt
and they disagree about how the connection should be as in the
bugreporters case where the responses apt gets contain both Keep-Alive
and Proxy-Connection headers (which apt both ignores) indicating a
proxy is trying to keep a connection open while the response also
contains "Connection: close" indicating the opposite which apt
understands and respects as it is required to do.
We avoid stepping into this abyss by not performing pipelining anymore
if we got a respond with the indication to close connection if the
response was otherwise a success – error messages are sent by some
servers via this method as their pages tend to be created dynamically
and hence their size isn't known a priori to them.
Closes: #832113

If the server told us in a previous request that it isn't supporting
Ranges with bytes via an Accept-Ranges header missing bytes, we don't
try to formulate requests using Ranges.
|
|
We keep various information bits about the server around, some only
effecting the currently handled file (like sizes) while others
should be persistent (like pipeline detections). http used to reset all
file-related manually, which is a bit silly if we already have a Reset()
method – which does reset all through –, so extending it with a
parameter for reuse and calling it from https too (as this was
previously resetting by just creating a new state struct – it uses no
value of the persistent state-keeping yet as it supports no pipelining).

It seems completely pointless from a server-POV to sent empty header
fields, so most of them don't do it (simply proven by this limitation
existing since day one) – but it is technically allowed by the RFC as
the surounding whitespaces are optional and Github seems to like sending
"X-Geo-Block-List:\r\n" since recently (bug reports in other http
clients indicate July) at least sometimes as the reporter claims to have
seen it on https only even through it can happen with both.

With apts http transport supporting socks5h proxies and all the work
in terms of configuration of methods based on the name it is called with
it becomes surprisingly easy to implement Tor support equally (and
perhaps even a bit exceeding) what is available currently in
apt-transport-tor.
How this will turn out to be handled packaging wise we will see in
https://lists.debian.org/deity/2016/08/msg00012.html , but until this is
resolved we can add the needed support without actively enabling it for
now, so that this can be tested better.

Doing a direct connect to an .onion address (if you don't happen to use
it as a local domain, which you shouldn't) is bound to fail and does
leak the information that you do use Tor and which hidden service you
wanted to connect to to a DNS server. Worse, if the DNS is poisoned and
actually resolves tricking a user into believing the setup would work
correctly…
This does block also the usage of wrappers like torsocks with apt, but
with native support available and advertised in the error message this
shouldn't really be an issue.

Socks support is a requested feature in sofar that the internet is
actually believing Acquire::socks::Proxy would exist. It doesn't and
this commit isn't adding it as that isn't how our configuration works,
but it allows Acquire::http::Proxy="socks5h://…". The HTTPS method was
changed already to support socks proxies (all versions) via curl. This
commit implements only SOCKS5 (RFC1928) with no auth or pass&user auth
(RFC1929), but not GSSAPI which is required by the RFC. The 'h' in the
protocol name further indicates that DNS resolution is delegated to the
socks proxy rather than performed locally.
The implementation works and was tested with Tor as socks proxy for
which implementing socks5h only can actually be considered a feature.

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.
|
|
cURL which backs our https implementation can handle redirects on its
own, but by dealing with them on our own we gain finer control over which
redirections will be performed (we don't like https → http) and by whom
so that redirections to other hosts correctly spawn a new https method
dealing with these instead of letting the current one deal with it.
|
|
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

Introduce an initial CMake buildsystem. This build system can build
a fully working apt system without translation or documentation.
The FindBerkelyDB module is from kdelibs, with some small adjustements
to also look in db5 directories.
Initial work on this CMake build system started in 2009, and was
resumed in August 2016.

If another file in the transaction fails and hence dooms the transaction
we can end in a situation in which a -patched file (= rred writes the
result of the patching to it) remains in the partial/ directory.
The next apt call will perform the rred patching again and write its
result again to the -patched file, but instead of starting with an empty
file as intended it will override the content previously in the file
which has the same result if the new content happens to be longer than
the old content, but if it isn't parts of the old content remain in the
file which will pass verification as the new content written to it
matches the hashes and if the entire transaction passes the file will be
moved the lists/ directory where it might or might not trigger errors
depending on if the old content which remained forms a valid file
together with the new content.
This has no real security implications as no untrusted data is involved:
The old content consists of a base file which passed verification and a
bunch of patches which all passed multiple verifications as well, so the
old content isn't controllable by an attacker and the new one isn't
either (as the new content alone passes verification). So the best an
attacker can do is letting the user run into the same issue as in the
report.

The rewrite in 742f67eaede80d2f9b3631d8697ebd63b8f95427 is based on the
assumption that the pipeline will always be at least one item short each
time it is called, but the logs in #832113 suggest that this isn't
always the case. I fail to see how at the moment, but the old
implementation had this behavior, so restoring it can't really hurt, can
it?
|
|
Also fixes message itself to mention the correct option name as noticed
in #832113.
|
|
We read the entire input file we want to patch anyhow, so we can also
calculate the hash for that file and compare it with what he had
expected it to be.
Note that this isn't really a security improvement as a) the file we
patch is trusted & b) if the input is incorrect, the result will hardly be
matching, so this is just for failing slightly earlier with a more
relevant error message (althrough, in terms of rred its ignored and
complete download attempt instead).

Instead of only trying the first host we get via SRV, we try them all as
we are supposed to and if that isn't working we try to connect to the
host itself as if we hadn't seen any SRV records. This was already the
intend of the old code, but it failed to hide earlier problems for the
next call, which would unconditionally fail then resulting in an all
around failure to connect. With proper stacking we can also keep the
error messages of each call around (and in the order tried) so if the
entire connection fails we can report all the things we have tried while
we discard the entire stack if something works out in the end.
|
|
If we don't give a specific error to report up it is likely that all
error currently in the error stack are equally important, so reporting
just one could turn out to be confusing e.g. if name resolution failed
in a SRV record list.
|
|
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.

All apt versions support numeric as well as 3-character timezones just
fine and its actually hard to write code which doesn't "accidently"
accepts it. So why change? Documenting the Date/Valid-Until fields in
the Release file is easy to do in terms of referencing the
datetime format used e.g. in the Debian changelogs (policy §4.4). This
format specifies only the numeric timezones through, not the nowadays
obsolete 3-character ones, so in the interest of least surprise we should
use the same format even through it carries a small risk of regression
in other clients (which encounter repositories created with
apt-ftparchive).
In case it is really regressing in practice, the hidden option
-o APT::FTPArchive::Release::NumericTimezone=0
can be used to go back to good old UTC as timezone.
The EDSP and EIPP protocols use this 'new' format, the text interface
used to communicate with the acquire methods does not for compatibility
reasons even if none of our methods would be effected and I doubt any
other would (in these instances the timezone is 'GMT' as that is what
HTTP/1.1 requires). Note that this is only true for apt talking to
methods, (libapt-based) methods talking to apt will respond with the
'new' format. It is therefore strongly adviced to support both also in
method input.

Seen in #828011 if we fail to parse a header field like Last-Modified we
end up interpreting the data as response header for coming requests in
case we don't rotate to a new server in DNS rotation.

wu-ftpd sends the response without parens, whereas we expect
them.
I did not test the patch, but it should work. I added another
return true if Pos is still npos after the second find to make
sure we don't add npos to the string.

Most servers who close the connection do not send a content-length as
this is redundant information usually, but some might and while testing
with our server and with 'aptwebserver::response-header::Connection' set
to 'close' I noticed that http hangs after a redirect in such cases, so
if we have the information, just use it instead of discarding it.

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.
|
|
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.
|
|
Setting the C++ locale via std::locale::global(std::locale("")); which
would otherwise default to the default C locale (aka: unaffected by
setlocale) effects the formatting of numeric types in IO streams, which
for output for humans is perfectly sensible, but breaks our many text
interfaces used and parsed by us and others without expecting the
numbers to be formatted.

gpg doesn't give use a UID on NODATA, which we were "expecting" (but not
using for anything), but just an error number. Instead of collecting
these as badsigners which will trigger a "invald signature" error with
remarks like "NODATA 1" we instead adapt a message similar to the NODATA
error of a clearsigned file (which is actually not reached anymore as we
split them up, which fails with a NOSPLIT error, which uses the same
general error message).
In other words: Not a security relevant change, just a user experience
improvement as we now point them to the most likely cause of the
problem instead of saying "invalid signature" which would point them in
the direction of the archive being broken (for everyone) instead.

A keyring file can include multiple keys, so its only fair for
transitions and such to support multiple fingerprints as well.
|

We parse the messages we receive into two big categories: Most of the
messages have a keyid as well as a userid and as they are errors we want
to show the userids as well. The other category is also errors, but have
no userid (like NO_PUBKEY). Explicitly expressing this in code should
make it a bit easier to look at and it also help in dropping additional
fields or just the newline at the end consistently.

Daniel Kahn Gillmor highlights in the bugreport that security isn't
improving by having the user import additional keys – especially as
importing keys securely is hard.
The bugreport was initially about dropping the warning to a notice, but
in given the previously mentioned observation and the fact that we
weren't printing a warning (or a notice) for expired or revoked keys
providing a signature we drop it completely as the code to display a
message if this was the only key is in another path – and is considered
critical.
Closes: 618445
|
|
Signatures on data can have an expiration date, too, which we hadn't
handled previously explicitly (no problem – gpg still has a non-zero
exit code so apt notices the invalid signature) so the error message
wasn't as helpful as it could be (aka mentioning the key signing it).
|
|
The upstream documentation says about KEYEXPIRED:
"This status line is not very useful". Indeed, it doesn't mention which
key is expired, and suggests to use the other message which does.
|
|
when using the https transport mechanism, $no_proxy is ignored if apt is
getting it's proxy information from $https_proxy (as opposed to
Acquire::https::Proxy somewhere in apt config). if the source of proxy
information is Acquire::https::Proxy set in apt.conf (or apt.conf.d),
then $no_proxy is honored.
|
|
We have this situation in cases were parts of the transaction are
refused (e.g. in a hashsum mismatch) and rerun the update (e.g. in the
hope that we get a mirror which is synced this time).
Previously we would ask the server with an if-range and in the best case
recieve a 416 in response (less featureful server might end up giving us
the entire file again or we get the wrong file this time giving us a
hashsum mismatch…), which is a waste of time if we know already by
checking the hashsums that we got the complete and correct file.
|
|
With the previous fix for file applied we can again hit repositories
which contain uncompressed empty files, which since the introduction of
the central store: method wasn't accounted for anymore as we forbid
empty compressed files.
