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.
2016-03-15methods/gpgv: Correctly handle weak signatures with multiple keysJulian Andres Klode
We added weak signatures to BadSigners, meaning that a Release file signed by both a weak signature and a strong signature would be rejected; preventing people from migrating from DSA to RSA keys in a sane way. Instead of using BadSigners, treat weak signatures like expired keys: They are no good signatures, and they are worthless. Gbp-Dch: ignore
2016-03-14methods/gpgv: Reject weak digest algorithmsJulian Andres Klode
This keeps a list of weak digest algorithms. For now, only MD5 is disabled, as SHA1 breaks to many repos.
2016-03-14Revert "Handle ERRSIG in the gpgv method like BADSIG"Julian Andres Klode
This reverts commit 76a71a1237d22c1990efbc19ce0e02aacf572576. That commit broke the test suite. Gbp-Dch: ignore
2016-03-14Handle ERRSIG in the gpgv method like BADSIGJulian Andres Klode
ERRSIG is created whenever a key uses an unknown/weak digest algorithm, for example. This allows us to report a more useful error than just "unknown apt-key error.": The following signatures were invalid: ERRSIG 13B00F1FD2C19886 1 2 01 1457609403 5 While still not being the best reportable error message, it's better than unknown apt-key error and hopefully redirects users to complain to their repository owners.
2016-02-04rred: If there were I/O errors, failJulian Andres Klode
We basically ignored errors from writing and flushing, let's not do that.

2016-01-12Only enable pipelining if server is HTTP/1.1Julian Andres Klode
Just enabling it for anyone breaks with HTTP/1.0 servers and proxies sometimes. Closes: #810796
2016-01-08allow pdiff bootstrap from all supported compressorsDavid Kalnischkies
There is no reason to enforce that the file we start the bootstrap with is compressed with a compressor which is available online. This allows us to change the on-disk format as well as deals with repositories adding/removing support for a specific compressor.
2016-01-08use one 'store' method to rule all (de)compressorsDavid Kalnischkies
Adding a new compressor method meant adding a new method as well – even if that boilt down to just linking to our generalized decompressor with a new name. That is unneeded busywork if we can instead just call the generalized decompressor and let it figure out which compressor to use based on the filenames rather than by program name. For compatibility we ship still 'gzip', 'bzip2' and co, but they are just links to our "new" 'store' method.
2016-01-07rred: Run in parallelJulian Andres Klode
Remove the SingleInstance flag so we can use the new randomized queue feature to run parallel.
2016-01-05Do not remove a not working SrvRecords server twiceMichael Vogt
The PopFromSrvRecs() already removed the entry from the active list, so the extra SrvRecords.erase() was incorrect. Git-Dch: ignore
2015-12-27rred: Use buffered writesJulian Andres Klode
Buffered writes improve performance a lot, given that we spent about 78% of the time in _write.
2015-12-27rred: Only call pkgInitConfig() in test modeJulian Andres Klode
This accidentally slipped in in a previous commit, but it should be used only for testing mode. Reported-By: David Kalnischkies <david@kalnischkies.de>
2015-12-27Convert most callers of isspace() to isspace_ascii()Julian Andres Klode
This converts all callers that read machine-generated data, callers that might work with user input are not converted.
2015-12-26rred: Allow passing files as arguments for compressor testingJulian Andres Klode
This introduces a -t mode in which the first argument is input, the second is output and the remaining are diffs. This allows us to test patching compressed files, which are detected using their file extension.
2015-11-28disable privilege dropping for rsh/ssh method by defaultDavid Kalnischkies
ssh expects various configuration bits to be usable like known hosts, possibly keys and co. Setting this up needs some user work for probably not a whole lot of benefits, so instead of forcing it upon users on upgrade disable dropping for it by default. Closes: 806511
2015-11-28fix program name detection in rsh methodDavid Kalnischkies

2015-11-19ignore lost+found in private directory cleanupDavid Kalnischkies
In ce1f3a2c we started warning about failing unlinking, which we consistently do for directories. That isn't a problem as directories usually aren't in the places we do want to clean up – with the potential exeception of "lost+found", so lets ignore it like we ignore our own partial/ subdirectory. Closes: 805424
2015-11-05activate AI_IDN by default to support IDN domainsDavid Kalnischkies
AI_IDN is a glibc extension, but we can worry about this at the time actually anyone is seriously trying apt on non-glibc systems. Closes: 763437

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
2015-11-04allow getaddrinfo flag AI_ADDRCONFIG to be disabledDavid Kalnischkies
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. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-11-04wrap every unlink call to check for != /dev/nullDavid Kalnischkies
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. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-11-04set failreasons similar to connect.cc based on curl errorsDavid Kalnischkies
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). Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-11-04unbreak the copy-method claiming hashsum mismatch since ~exp9David Kalnischkies
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. Closes: 799158
2015-11-04drop privileges in file:// method as we do for decompressorsDavid Kalnischkies
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).

2015-09-14avoid using global PendingError to avoid failing too often too soonDavid Kalnischkies
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.

2015-08-28implement PDiff patching for compressed filesDavid Kalnischkies
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.

2015-08-10add c++11 override marker to overridden methodsDavid Kalnischkies
C++11 adds the 'override' specifier to mark that a method is overriding a base class method and error out if not. We hide it in the APT_OVERRIDE macro to ensure that we keep compiling in pre-c++11 standards. Reported-By: clang-modernize -add-override -override-macros Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-08-10implement Signed-By without using gpg for verificationDavid Kalnischkies
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. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-08-10allow individual targets to be kept compressedDavid Kalnischkies
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.
2015-08-10implement Signed-By option for sources.listDavid Kalnischkies
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).
2015-06-15call URIStart in cdrom and file methodDavid Kalnischkies
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.
2015-06-15ensure valid or remove destination file in file methodDavid Kalnischkies
'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.

2015-06-09support hashes for compressed pdiff filesDavid Kalnischkies
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…
2015-06-09add more parsing error checking for rredDavid Kalnischkies
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.
2015-06-09check patch hashes in rred worker instead of in the handlerDavid Kalnischkies
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.
