2019-01-25SECURITY UPDATE: content injection in http method (CVE-2019-3462)Julian Andres Klode
This fixes a security issue that can be exploited to inject arbritrary debs or other files into a signed repository as followed: (1) Server sends a redirect to somewhere%0a<headers for the apt method> (where %0a is \n encoded) (2) apt method decodes the redirect (because the method encodes the URLs before sending them out), writting something like somewhere\n <headers> into its output (3) apt then uses the headers injected for validation purposes.

2018-10-09Set DPKG_FRONTEND_LOCKED when running {pre,post}-invoke scriptsJulian Andres Klode
Some post-invoke scripts install packages, which fails because the environment variable is not set. This sets the variable for all three kinds of scripts {pre,post-}invoke and pre-install-pkgs, but we will only allow post-invoke at a later time.

2018-09-28Support records larger than 32kb in 'apt show'David Kalnischkies
The default buffer size for pkgTagFile is 32kb which should be big enough for everything… expect for enormous lists of provides, resulting in: $ apt show librust-winapi-dev E: Unable to parse package file /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.br.debian.org_debian_dists_unstable_main_binary-amd64_Packages (2) E: Internal Error, Unable to parse a package record The "apt-cache show" codepath uses instead a max size for all files, which seems a bit excessive, but works – using the max size for the file in question seems most appropriate. The patch is written for the 1.6.y series as a rewrite of the related code in the 1.7.y series (commit bf53f39c9a0221b670ffff74053ed36fc502d5a0) removed this problem before it was reported.

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)
2017-06-19Fix parsing of or groups in build-deps with ignored packagesJulian Andres Klode
If the last alternative(s) of an Or group is ignored, because it does not match an architecture list, we would end up keeping the or flag, effectively making the next AND an OR. For example, when parsing (on amd64): debhelper (>= 9), libnacl-dev [amd64] | libnacl-dev [i386] => debhelper (>= 9), libnacl-dev | Which can cause python-apt to crash. Even worse: debhelper (>= 9), libnacl-dev [amd64] | libnacl-dev [i386], foobar => debhelper (>= 9), libnacl-dev [amd64] | foobar By setting the previous alternatives Or flag to the current Or flag if the current alternative is ignored, we solve the issue.

2017-04-25Fix and avoid quoting in CommandLine::AsStringDavid Kalnischkies
In the intended usecase where this serves as a hack there is no problem with double/single quotes being present as we write it to a log file only, but nowadays our calling of apt-key produces a temporary config file containing this "setting" as well and suddently quoting is important as the config file syntax is allergic to it. So the fix is to ignore all quoting whatsoever in the input and just quote (with singles) the option values with spaces. That gives us 99% of the time the correct result and the 1% where the quote is an integral element of the option … doesn't exist – or has bigger problems than a log file not containing the quote. Same goes for newlines in values. LP: #1672710 (cherry picked from commit 2ce15bdeac6ee93faefd4b42b57f035bef80c567) (cherry picked from commit c75620dcfa749f8030e0180df44eec746402885d)
2017-02-22Do not package names representing .dsc/.deb/... filesJulian Andres Klode
In the case of build-dep and other commands where a file can be passed we must make sure not to normalize the path name as that can have odd side effects, or well, cause the operation to do nothing. Test for build-dep-file is adjusted to perform the vcard check once as "vcard" and once as "VCard", thus testing that this solves the reported bug. We inline the std::transform() and optimize it a bit to not write anything in the common case (package names are defined to be lowercase, the whole transformation is just for names that should not exist...) to counter the performance hit of the added find() call (it's about 0.15% more instructions than with the existing transform, but we save about 0.67% in writes...).

2017-02-22remove 'old' FAILED files in the next acquire callDavid Kalnischkies
If apt renames a file to .FAILED it leaves its namespace and is never touched again – expect since 1.1~exp4 in which "apt clean" will remove those files. The usefulness of these files rapidly degrades if you don't keep the update log itself (together with debug output in the best case) through and on 99% of all system they will be kept around forever just to collect dust over time and eat up space. With this commit an update call will remove all FAILED files of previous runs, so that the FAILED files you have on disk are always only the ones related to the last apt run stopping apt from hoarding files.

We can't cleanup the environment like e.g. sudo would do as you usually want the environment to "leak" into these helpers, but some variables like HOME should really not have still the value of the root user – it could confuse the helpers (USER) and HOME isn't accessible anyhow.

2017-02-22keep Release.gpg on untrusted to trusted IMS-HitDavid Kalnischkies
A user relying on the deprecated behaviour of apt-get to accept a source with an unknown pubkey to install a package containing the key expects that the following 'apt-get update' causes the source to be considered as trusted, but in case the source hadn't changed in the meantime this wasn't happening: The source kept being untrusted until the Release file was changed. This only effects sources not using InRelease and only apt-get, the apt binary downright refuses this course of actions, but it is a common way of adding external sources.

2017-02-22don't install new deps of candidates for kept back pkgsDavid Kalnischkies
In effect this is an extension of the 6 years old commit a8dfff90aa740889eb99d00fde5d70908d9fd88a which uses the autoremover to remove packages again from the solution which are no longer needed to be there. Commonly these are dependencies of packages we end up not installed due to problem resolver decisions. Slightly less common is the situation we deal with here: a package which we wanted to upgrade sporting a new dependency, but ended up holding back. The problem is that all versions of an installed reverse dependencies can bring back a "garbage" package – we need to do this as there is nothing inherently wrong in having garbage packages installed or upgrade them, which itself would have garbage dependencies, so just blindly killing all new garbage packages would prevent the upgrade (and actually generate errors). What we should be doing is looking only at the version we will have on the system, disregarding all old/new reverse dependencies.

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.

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.

2016-11-23apt-key: warn instead of fail on unreadable keyringsDavid Kalnischkies
apt-key has inconsistent behaviour if it can't read a keyring file: Commands like 'list' skipped silently over such keyrings while 'verify' failed hard resulting in apt to report cconfusing gpg errors (#834973). As a first step we teach apt-key to be more consistent here skipping in all commands over unreadable keyrings, but issuing a warning in the process, which is as usual for apt commands displayed at the end of the run. (cherry picked from commit 105503b4b470c124bc0c271bd8a50e25ecbe9133) (removed the buffering of warnings in aptwarnings.log, as we do not have a cleanup function where we can cat it) LP: #1642386
2016-11-14avoid std::get_time usage to sidestep libstdc++6 bugDavid Kalnischkies
As reported upstream in https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=71556 the implementation of std::get_time is currently not as accepting as strptime is, especially in how hours should be formatted. Just reverting 9febc2b238e1e322dce1f94ecbed46d595893b52 would be possible, but then we would reopen the problems fixed by it, so instead I opted here for a rewrite of the parsing logic which makes this method a lot longer, but at least it provides the same benefits as the rewrite in std::get_time was intended to give us and decouples us from the fix of the issue in the standard library implementation of GCC.

2016-11-14accept only the expected UTC timezones in date parsingDavid Kalnischkies
HTTP/1.1 hardcodes GMT (RFC 7231 §7.1.1.1) and what is good enough for the internet must be good enough for us™ as we reuse the implementation internally to parse (most) dates we encounter in various places like the Release files with their Date and Valid-Until header fields. Implementing a fully timezone aware parser just feels too hard for no effective benefit as it would take 5+ years (= until LTS's are out of fashion) until a repository could use non-UTC dates and expect it to work. Not counting non-apt implementations which might or might not only want to encounter UTC here as well. As a bonus, this eliminates the use of an instance of setlocale in libapt.

2016-10-05VersionHash: Do not skip too long dependency linesJulian Andres Klode
If the dependency line does not contain spaces in the repository but does in the dpkg status file (because dpkg normalized the dependency list), the dpkg line might be longer than the line in the repository. If it now happens to be longer than 1024 characters, it would be skipped, causing the hashes to be out of date. Note that we have to bump the minor cache version again as this changes the format slightly, and we might get mismatches with an older src cache otherwise.

2016-10-05Fix segfault and out-of-bounds read in Binary fieldsJulian Andres Klode
If a Binary field contains one or more spaces before a comma, the code produced a segmentation fault, as it accidentally set a pointer to 0 instead of the value of the pointer. If the comma is at the beginning of the field, the code would create a binStartNext that points one element before the start of the string, which is undefined behavior. We also need to check that we do not exit the string during the replacement of spaces before commas: A string of the form " ," would normally exit the boundary of the Buffer: binStartNext = offset 1 ',' binEnd = offset 0 ' ' isspace_ascii(*binEnd) = true => --binEnd => binEnd = - 1 We get rid of the problem by only allowing spaces to be eliminated if they are not the first character of the buffer: binStartNext = offset 1 ',' binEnd = offset 0 ' ' binEnd > buffer = false, isspace_ascii(*binEnd) = true => exit loop => binEnd remains 0 (cherry picked from commit ce6cd75dc367b92f65e4fb539dd166d0f3361f8c)
2016-10-05don't loop on pinning pkgs from absolute debs by regexDavid Kalnischkies
An absolute filename for a *.deb file starts with a /. A package with the name of the file is inserted in the cache which is provided by the "real" package for internal reasons. The pinning code detects a regex based wildcard by having the regex start with /. That is no problem as a / can not be included in a package name… expect that our virtual filename package can and does. We fix this two ways actually: First, a regex is only being considered a regex if it also ends with / (we don't support flags). That stops our problem with the virtual filename packages already, but to be sure we also do not enter the loop if matcher and package name are equal. It has to be noted that the creation of pins for virtual packages like the here effected filename packages is pointless as only versions can be pinned, but checking that a package is really purely virtual is too costly compared to just creating an unused pin.

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)

2016-08-31do not treat same-version local debs as downgradeDavid Kalnischkies

If we have a (e.g. locally built) deb file installed and do try to install it again apt complained about this being a downgrade, but it wasn't as it is the very same version… it was just confused into not merging the versions together which looks like a downgrade then. The same size assumption is usually good, but given that volatile files are parsed last (even after the status file) the base assumption no longer holds, but is easy to adept without actually changing anything in practice.

2016-08-31protect only the latest same-source providers from autoremoveDavid Kalnischkies
Traditionally all providers are protected providing something as apt can't know which of them is actually really providing the functionality for the user ensuring that we don't propose the removal of used stuff, but that is of course also keeping stuff around which could be removed. That can cause the collection of multiple old providers until the provided package is itself no longer needed (e.g. out-of-tree kernel modules). We combat this by marking providers only from the newest source package version so that old providers built by older versions of the same source package can be garbage collected.

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. Closes: #825396 (cherry picked from commit b58e2c7c56b1416a343e81f9f80cb1f02c128e25)
2016-05-20fail instead of segfault on unreadable config filesDavid Kalnischkies
The report mentions "apt list --upgradable", but there are others which have inconsistent behavior ranging from segfaulting to doing something with the partial (and hence incomplete) data. We had a recent report about sources.list (#818628), this one mentions prefences, the obvious next step is conf files… so the testcase is adapted to check for all three in file and directory versions and run a bunch of commands each time which should all have more or less the same behavior in such a case (aka error out). Closes: 824503 (cherry picked from commit fdf9eef4d96a18d0167708499c993e1174251e88)
2016-05-11respect user pinning in M-A:same version (un)screwingDavid Kalnischkies
Using Pkg.CandVersion() here is wrong as its implementation will return a candidate based just on the default policy settings ignoring user preferences and otherwise set candidates (aka: it sidesteps the pkgDepCache). This causes M-A:same libraries to be detected as screwed even through they aren't, so that they end up being kept back. Reported-By: Felipe Sateler on IRC

Always those silly mistakes. Do what I mean, not what I said… Reported-By: Travis Git-Dch: Ignore (cherry picked from commit 737ce3135d332e3b6165ac1fac5c68e21ba1bdba)
2016-05-10update: Run Post-Invoke-Success if not all sources failedJulian Andres Klode
Failures can happen and APT regardless will do a partial cache update anyway. Because APT ensures that the list directory is in a sane state, it makes sense to also call success hooks if success was only partial - otherwise it loses sync with APT. Most importantly, this causes the appstream cache to be empty, see launchpad bug #1562733. This is somewhat overly optimistic though: As soon as any repository has nonexisting optional files, the missing optional files are also treated as success, which means a single broken repository without an InRelease file still runs Success hooks, even though it really should not.

2016-05-10don't sent uninstallable rc-only versions via EDSPDavid Kalnischkies
Versions which are only available in dpkg/status aren't installable and apt doesn't pick them as candidate for this reason – for the same reason such packages shouldn't be sent to an external solver via EDSP. The packages are pinned to -1, but if the solver has strict pinning disabled it could end up picking this version anyhow – which is a request apt can not satisfy.

2016-05-10allow redirection for items without a space in the desc againDavid Kalnischkies
Broken in a4b8112b19763cbd2c12b81d55bc7d43a591d610. If an item has a description which includes no space and is redirected to another mirror the code which wants to rewrite the description expects a space in there, but can't find it and the unguarded substr command on the string will fail with an exception thrown… Guarding it properly and everything is fine.

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.
