2018-03-06Revert "http: A response with Content-Length: 0 has no content"Julian Andres Klode
This reverts commit dd547ebaffd2aceb42e2908f1d5f0ab386af6cb1. LP: #1751225
2017-09-13http: A response with Content-Length: 0 has no contentJulian Andres Klode
APT considered any response with a Content-Length to have a body, even if the value of the header was 0. A 0 length body however, is equal to no body. (cherry picked from commit d47fb34ae03566feec7fec6dccba80e45fa03e6f)
2017-09-13Reset failure reason when connection was successfulJulian Andres Klode
When APT was trying multiple addresses, any later error somewhere else would be reported with ConnectionRefused or ConnectionTimedOut as the FailReason because that was set by early connect attempts. This causes APT to handle the failures differently, leading to some weirdly breaking test cases (like the changed one). Add debugging to the previously failing test case so we can find out when something goes wrong there again. (cherry picked from commit d3a70c3e5ae68a0e5a3d4667dd1d0fc0887e6263)
2017-09-13use port from SRV record instead of initial portDavid Kalnischkies
An SRV record includes a portnumber to use with the host given, but apt was ignoring the portnumber and instead used either the port given by the user for the initial host or the default port for the service. In practice the service usually runs on another host on the default port, so it tends to work as intended and even if not and apt can't get a connection there it will gracefully fallback to contacting the initial host with the right port, so its a user invisible bug most of the time. (cherry picked from commit 9bdc09016f9570389451dd619d7e878bfeaa91df)
2017-02-22basehttp: Only read Content-Range on 416 and 206 responsesJulian Andres Klode
This fixes issues with sourceforge where the redirector includes such a Content-Range in a 302 redirect. Since we do not really know what file is meant in a redirect, let's just ignore it for all responses other than 416 and 206. Maybe we should also get rid of the other errors, and just ignore the field in those cases as well? LP: #1657567 (cherry picked from commit 4759a702081297bde66982efed8b2b7fd39ca27c) (cherry picked from commit b5d0e1be09fd07e693bae8046848059f578d029f)
2017-02-22stop rred from leaking debug messages on recovered errorsDavid Kalnischkies
rred can fail for a plentory of reasons, but its failure is usually recoverable (Ign lines) so it shouldn't leak unrequested debug messages to an observing user. Closes: #850759 (cherry picked from commit 2984d7aec37e09b473c7b99f43d20622c25dc99d) (cherry picked from commit d0a345d4a41802e9129b78d70aabd6239a3c651a)

2017-01-17https: Quote path in URL before passing it to curlJulian Andres Klode
Curl requires URLs to be urlencoded. We are however giving it undecoded URLs. This causes it go completely nuts if there is a space in the URI, producing requests like: GET /a file HTTP/1.1 which the servers then interpret as a GET request for "/a" with HTTP version "file" or some other non-sense. This works around the issue by encoding the path component of the URL. I'm not sure if we should encode other parts of the URL as well, this one seems to do the trick for the actual issue at hand. A more correct fix is to avoid the dequoting and (re-)quoting of URLs when a redirect occurs / a new request is sent. That's been on the radar for probably a year or two now, but nobody bothered implementing that yet. LP: #1651923 (cherry picked from commit 994515e689dcc5f963f5fed58284831750a5da03) (cherry picked from commit 438b1d78b4c33d0a97406f0a7071e3c413dc0aa3)
2016-11-23show apt-key warnings in apt updateDavid Kalnischkies
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.

2016-11-14prevent C++ locale number formatting in text APIs (try 2)David Kalnischkies
Followup of b58e2c7c56b1416a343e81f9f80cb1f02c128e25. Still a regression of sorts of 8b79c94af7f7cf2e5e5342294bc6e5a908cacabf. Closes: 832044 (cherry picked from commit 7303e11ff28f920a6277c159aa46f80c007350bb)
2016-10-05abort connection on '.' target replies in SRVDavid Kalnischkies
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.

2016-10-05try not to call memcpy with length 0 in hash calculationsDavid Kalnischkies
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".

2016-10-05don't try pipelining if server closes connectionsDavid Kalnischkies
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 (cherry picked from commit 9714d522056e5256f5a2de587d88eba7cb3291c2)
2016-10-05http(s): allow empty values for header fieldsDavid Kalnischkies
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. Closes: 834048 (cherry picked from commit 148c049150cc39f2e40894c1684dc2aefea1117e)
2016-08-31rred: truncate result file before writing to itDavid Kalnischkies
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. Closes: #831762 (cherry picked from commit 0e071dfe205ad21d8b929b4bb8164b008dc7c474)
2016-08-31use proper warning for automatic pipeline disableDavid Kalnischkies
Also fixes message itself to mention the correct option name as noticed in #832113. (cherry picked from commit b9c20219dc17db1d29eaf297263a4b008bd1b90b)
2016-08-31verify hash of input file in rredDavid Kalnischkies
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). (cherry picked from commit 6e71ec6fcdcaa926c98fa58cd4af38e42556df15)
2016-08-31keep trying with next if connection to a SRV host failedDavid Kalnischkies
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. (cherry picked from commit 3af3ac2f5ec007badeded46a94be2bd06b9917a2)
2016-08-31report all instead of first error up the acquire chainDavid Kalnischkies
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. (cherry picked from commit b50dfa6b2dd2d459e0c2746ac9367982b96ffac0)
2016-08-31don'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.

2016-08-31avoid 416 response teardown binding to null pointerDavid Kalnischkies
methods/http.cc:640:13: runtime error: reference binding to null pointer of type 'struct FileFd' This reference is never used in the cases it has a nullptr, so the practical difference is non-existent, but its a bug still.

2016-08-31close server if parsing of header field failedDavid Kalnischkies
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. (cherry picked from commit cc0a4c82b3c132abba9b9ec35fd61bc8b45a1b80)
2016-08-31methods/ftp: Cope with weird PASV responsesJulian Andres Klode
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.

2016-06-01prevent C++ locale number formatting in text APIsDavid Kalnischkies
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.

2016-05-10don't show NO_PUBKEY warning if repo is signed by another keyDavid Kalnischkies
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.

2016-05-10refactored no_proxy code to work regardless of where https proxy is setPatrick Cable
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.

2016-04-14allow uncompressed files to be empty in store againDavid Kalnischkies
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.
2016-04-14fix Alt-Filename handling of file methodDavid Kalnischkies
A silly of-by-one error in the stripping of the extension to check for the uncompressed filename broken in an attempt to support all compressions in commit a09f6eb8fc67cd2d836019f448f18580396185e5. Fixing this highlights also mistakes in the handling of the Alt-Filename in libapt which would cause apt to remove the file from the repository (if root has the needed rights – aka the disk isn't readonly or similar)
2016-03-28Allow lowering trust level of a hash via configJulian Andres Klode
Introduces APT::Hashes::<NAME> with entries Untrusted and Weak which can be set to true to cause the hash to be treated as untrusted and/or weak.
2016-03-22handle gpgv's weak-digests ERRSIGDavid Kalnischkies
Our own gpgv method can declare a digest algorithm as untrusted and handles these as worthless signatures. If gpgv comes with inbuilt untrusted (which is called weak in official terminology) which it e.g. does for MD5 in recent versions we should handle it in the same way. To check this we use the most uncommon still fully trusted hash as a configureable one via a hidden config option to toggle through all of the three states a hash can be in.
2016-03-21properly check for "all good sigs are weak"David Kalnischkies
Using erase(pos) is invalid in our case here as pos must be a valid and derefenceable iterator, which isn't the case for an end-iterator (like if we had no good signature). The problem runs deeper still through as VALIDSIG is a keyid while GOODSIG is just a longid so comparing them will always fail. Closes: 818910
2016-03-16Make the weak signature message less ambigiousJulian Andres Klode
There was a complaint that, in the previous message, the key fingerprint could be mistaken for a SHA1 digest due to the (SHA1) after it. Gbp-Dch: ignore
2016-03-16methods/gpgv: Rewrite error handling and messageJulian Andres Klode
This should be easy to extend in the future and allow us to simplify the error handling cases somewhat. Thanks: Ron Lee for wording suggestions
2016-03-15methods/gpgv: Warn about SHA1 (and RIPEMD-160)Julian Andres Klode
We will drop support for those in the future. Also adjust the std::array to be a std::vector, as that's easier to maintain.
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

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.

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.
