* Strip 0: epochs from the version hashJulian Andres Klode2017-06-281-0/+5
| | | | | | | This should fix some issues with dpkg normalizing such values. Suprisingly enough apt treats the Version: field the same, even with epoch vs without, but not when searching, and does not strip the 0: from the output.
* allow frontends to override releaseinfo change behaviourDavid Kalnischkies2017-06-283-30/+105
| | | | | | | | Having messages being printed on the error stack and confirm them by commandline flags is an okayish first step, but some frontends will probably want to have a more interactive feeling here with a proper question the user can just press yes/no for as for some frontends a commandline flag makes no sense…
* show a Release-Notes URI if infos were changedDavid Kalnischkies2017-06-284-0/+17
| | | | | | | | This gives the repository owner a chance to explain why this change was needed – e.g. explaining the organisational changes or simply detailing the changes in the new release made. Note that this URI is also shown if the change is accepted, so it also draws attention to release notes of minor updates (if users watch apt output closely).
* error in update on Release information changesDavid Kalnischkies2017-06-284-9/+115
| | | | | | | | | | | The value of Origin, Label, Codename and co can be used in user configuration from apts own pinning to unattended upgrades. A repository changing this values can therefore have serious effects on the behaviour of apt and other tools using these values. In a first step we will generate error messages for these changes now explaining the need for explicit confirmation and provide config options and commandline flags to accept them.
* fix some unlikely memory leaks in error casesDavid Kalnischkies2017-06-264-42/+24
| | | | | | | | The error cases are just as unlikely as the memory leaks to ever cause real problems, but lets play it safe for correctness. Reported-By: scan-build & clang Gbp-Dch: Ignore
* fail InRelease on non-404 HTTP errorcodesDavid Kalnischkies2017-06-261-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are very many HTTP errorcodes which indicate that the repository isn't available at the moment or the connection has some kind of problem. Given that we do not require Release files the result was that these errors were ignored and the user presented with a message like "Repository is no longer signed" which sends the user in the wrong direction. Instead of trying to figure out which http errorcodes indicate a global problem we accept only 404 for ignoring and consider all the rest as hard errors now causing us to stop instantly after the InRelease file and print the errorcode (with short description from server) received.
* show .diff/Index properly as ignored if we fallbackDavid Kalnischkies2017-06-262-109/+92
| | | | | | | | | | Moving the code responsible for parsing the Index file from ::Done into the slightly earlier ::VerifyDone allows us to still "fail" the download if we can't make use of the Index for whatever reason, so that the progress log correctly displays "Ign" instead of "Get" for the file. This also makes quiet a few debug messages proper error messages (but those are still hidden by default for Ign lines).
* warn if an expected file can't be acquiredDavid Kalnischkies2017-06-265-3/+42
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we couldn't find an entry for a Sources file we would generate an error while for a Packages file we would silently skip it due to assuming it is missing because it is empty. We can do better by checking if the repository declares that it supports a component we want to get the file from and if not say so and hint at the user making a typo. An example were this helps is mozilla.debian.net which dropped the firefox-aurora component (as upstream did) meaning no upgrades until the user notices manually that the repository doesn't provide packages anymore. With this commit warnings are raised hopefully causing the user to investigate what is wrong (sooner).

* Avoid chdir in acquire clean with unlinkatDavid Kalnischkies2017-06-263-32/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | POSIX.1-2008 gives us a range of *at calls to deal with files including the unlinkat so we can remove a file from a directory based on a path to the file relative to the directory. (In our case here the path we have is just the filename) We avoid changing directories in this way which e.g. fails if the directory we started in no longer exists or is otherwise inaccessible. Closes: 860738
* Show permission error if ProxyAutoDetect cmd can't be executedDavid Kalnischkies2017-06-261-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | As the proxy commands are not executed as root, a user can run into permission errors (s)he isn't expecting – as our switching is an implementation detail – so the error message in that case should really be better than a generic "error code 100" sending the user in the wrong direction as that implies the command was executed, but errored out. Closes: 857885
* avoid explicit types for pkg counts by autoDavid Kalnischkies2017-06-265-36/+38
| | | | | | | | | Changes nothing on the program front and as the datatypes are sufficently comparable fixes no bug either, but problems later on if we ever change the types of those and prevent us using types which are too large for the values we want to store waste (a tiny bit of) resources.

* schedule the correct side of the conflict for removalDavid Kalnischkies2017-06-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In complex situations in which we want to unpack a package which has a conflict/breaks on another package which must be removed due this conflict apt can decide to perform this remove earlier than initially planned. Problem: For three years apt wouldn't remove that package, but the package which has the conflict… The situation isn't very common and easily hidden as the package which is removed is unpacked a few actions later – it becomes visible for packages which protect themselves from removal through like systemd as the running init resulting in upgrade failures (#854041). Note that the package isn't purged, so data shouldn't be lost even if a user runs into a "hidden" case of it as long as the package sticks to the policy of removing data only on purge. Reaching this situation artificially is hard, which is why no testcase is included, as the situation is highly state dependent. Testing with "real" systems indicate that slight modifications in the installed packages set can make the bug not trigger.

* pkgcache: Bump major version to 12Julian Andres Klode2017-06-261-1/+1
| | | | | | We need to be able to update 1.4.y in different ways than later apt versions, and thus need to bump the major version so there is no collision in the minor version at some point.
* Fix parsing of or groups in build-deps with ignored packagesJulian Andres Klode2017-05-311-1/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. LP: #1694697
* Fix and avoid quoting in CommandLine::AsStringDavid Kalnischkies2017-03-191-4/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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
* Fix mistake in CHANGEPATH comment exampleJulian Andres Klode2017-03-131-1/+1

* Don't use -1 fd and AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW for faccessat()Julian Andres Klode2017-02-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | -1 is not an allowed value for the file descriptor, the only allowed non-file-descriptor value is AT_FDCWD. So use that instead. AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW has a weird semantic: It checks whether we have the specified access on the symbolic link. It also is implemented only by glibc on Linux, so it's inherently non-portable. We should just drop it. Thanks: James Clarke for debugging these issues Reported-by: James Clarke <jrtc27@jrtc27.com>
* Do not package names representing .dsc/.deb/... filesJulian Andres Klode2017-02-101-2/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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...). Closes: #854794

* Only merge acquire items with the same meta keyJulian Andres Klode2017-01-281-1/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the introduction of by-hash, two differently named files might have the same real URL. In our case, the files icons-64x64.tar.gz and icons-128x128.tar.gz of empty tarballs. APT would try to merge them and end with weird errors because it completed the first download and enters the second stage for decompressing and verifying. After that it would queue a new item to copy the original file to the location, but that copy item would be in the wrong stage, causing it to use the hashes for the decompressed item. Closes: #838441
* avoid malloc if option whitelist is disabled (default)David Kalnischkies2017-01-271-3/+8
| | | | | | | Config options are checked in various paths, so making "useless" memory allocations wastes time and can also cause problems like #852757. The unneeded malloc was added in ae73a2944a89e0d2406a2aab4a4c082e1e9da3f9. (We have no explicit malloc here – its std:string doing this internally)

* remove 'old' FAILED files in the next acquire callDavid Kalnischkies2017-01-191-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Closes: 846476
* avoid validate/delete/load race in cache generationDavid Kalnischkies2017-01-191-28/+31
| | | | | | | Keeping the Fd of the cache file we have validated around to later load it into the mmap ensures not only that we load the same file (which wouldn't really be a problem in practice), but that this file also still exists and wasn't deleted e.g. by a 'apt clean' call run in parallel.
* CMake: Document that the globs are expanded during CMakeJulian Andres Klode2017-01-171-1/+3

* CMake: Find the Perl executable, and use it to run perl scriptsJulian Andres Klode2017-01-171-1/+1

* Read dpkg tables to handle architecture wildcardsJulian Andres Klode2017-01-172-28/+158
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Our implementation of wildcards was rudimentary. It worked for some common ones, but it was also broken: For example, armel matched any-armel, but should match any-arm. With this commit, we load the correct tables from dpkg. Supported are both triplets and quadruplet tables (the latter introduced in dpkg 1.18.11). There are some odd things we have to deal with in the cache filter for historical and API reasons: * The character "*" must be accepted as an alternative to any - in fact it may appear anywhere in the wildcard as we also allow fnmatch() style wildcard matching on the commandline. * The code might get passed an arch with a minus at the end, for example the cmdline "install apt:any-arm-" will first try to check if any-arm- is a valid architecture. We deal with this by rejecting any wildcard ending in a minus. * Triplets are actually implemented by extending them to faux quadruplets - by prepending a "base" component for the architecture tuple, and "any" if there is a wildcard component. Once we have constructed a wildcard, it is transformed into an fnmatch() expression for historical reasons. In the future, we should really get a tuple class and implement matching in a better, more explicit way. This does for now though - it passes all the test cases and accepts all things it should accept. Closes: #748936 Thanks: James Clarke <jrtc27@jrtc27.com> for the initial patch

* allow warning generation for non-whitelisted optionsDavid Kalnischkies2016-12-311-1/+160
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The idea is simple: Each¹ Find*( call starts with a call check if the given option (with the requested type) exists in the whitelist. The whitelist is specified via our configure-index file so that we have a better chance at keeping it current. the whitelist is loaded via a special (undocumented for now) configuration stanza and if none is loaded the empty whitelist will make it so that no warnings are shown. Much needs to be done still, but that is as good a time as any to take a snapshot of the current state and release it into the wild given that it found some bugs already and has no practical effect on users. ¹ not all in this iteration, but many
* fix minimum pkgs option for dpkg --recursive usageDavid Kalnischkies2016-12-311-1/+1
| | | | | | Interpreting a boolean as an int works just fine – it just hasn't the intended result – it isn't a serious problem through as the disabling of the usage of this dpkg calling style is just an "optimization"
* use FindB instead of FindI for Debug::pkgAutoRemoveDavid Kalnischkies2016-12-311-1/+1

* avoid producing invalid options if repo has no hostDavid Kalnischkies2016-12-311-2/+5

* gets file location via FindFile instead of manual mergeDavid Kalnischkies2016-12-311-5/+6

* ensure generation of valid EDSP error stanzasDavid Kalnischkies2016-12-311-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | The crude way of preparing a message to be a multiline value failed at generation valid deb822 in case the error message ended with a new line like the resolving errors from apt do. apt itself can parse these, but other tools like grep-dctrl choke on it, so be nice and print valid.

* warn if clearsigned file has ignored content partsDavid Kalnischkies2016-12-311-2/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Clearsigned files like InRelease, .dsc, .changes and co can potentially include unsigned or additional messages blocks ignored by gpg in verification, but a potential source of trouble in our own parsing attempts – and an unneeded risk as the usecases for the clearsigned files we deal with do not reasonably include unsigned parts (like emails or some such). This commit changes the silent ignoring to warnings for now to get an impression on how widespread unintended unsigned parts are, but eventually we want to turn these into hard errors.
* reword "Can't drop priv" warning messageDavid Kalnischkies2016-12-161-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Note: This is a warning about disabling a security feature. It is supposed to be scary as we are disabling a security feature and we can't just be silent about it! Downloads really shouldn't happen any longer as root to decrease the attack surface – but if a warning causes that much uproar, consider what an error would do… The old WARNING message: | W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file 'foobar' couldn't be | accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied) is frequently (incorrectly) considered to be an error message indicating that the download didn't happen which isn't the case, it was performed, but without all the security features enabled we could have used if run from some other place… The word "unsandboxed" is chosen as the term 'sandbox(ed)' is a common encounter in feature lists/changelogs and more people are hopefully able to make the connection to 'security' than it is the case for 'privilege dropping' which is more correct, but far less known.

* gpgv: Flush the files before checking for errorsJulian Andres Klode2016-12-081-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a follow up to the previous issue where we did not check if getline() returned -1 due to an end of file or due to an error like memory allocation, treating both as end of file. Here we ensure that we also handle buffered writes correctly by flushing the files before checking for any errors in our error stack. Buffered writes themselves were introduced in 1.1.9, but the function was never called with a buffered file from inside apt until commit 46c4043d741cb2c1d54e7f5bfaa234f1b7580f6c which was first released with apt 1.2.10. The function is public, though, so fixing this is a good idea anyway. Affected: >= 1.1.9
* SECURITY UPDATE: gpgv: Check for errors when splitting files (CVE-2016-1252)Julian Andres Klode2016-12-081-1/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a security issue where signatures of the InRelease files could be circumvented in a man-in-the-middle attack, giving attackers the ability to serve any packages they want to a system, in turn giving them root access. It turns out that getline() may not only return EINVAL as stated in the documentation - it might also return in case of an error when allocating memory. This fix not only adds a check that reading worked correctly, it also implicitly checks that all writes worked by reporting any other error that occurred inside the loop and was logged by apt.

* get pdiff files from the same mirror as the indexDavid Kalnischkies2016-11-253-36/+52
| | | | | | | | | | | In ad9416611ab83f7799f2dcb4bf7f3ef30e9fe6f8 we fall back to asking the original mirror (e.g. a redirector) if we do not get the expected result. This works for the indexes, but patches are a different beast and much simpler. Adding this fallback code here seems like overkill as they are usually right along their Index file, so actually forward the relevant settings to the patch items which fixes pdiff support combined with a redirector and partial mirrors as in such a situation the pdiff patches would be 404 and the complete index would be downloaded.
* report apt-key errors via status-fd messagesDavid Kalnischkies2016-11-241-10/+53
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We report warnings from apt-key this way already since 29c590951f812d9e9c4f17706e34f2c3315fb1f6, so reporting errors seems like a good addition. Most of those errors aren't really from apt-key through, but from the code setting up and actually calling it which used to just print to stderr which might or might not intermix them with (other) progress lines in update calls. Having them as proper error messages in the system means that the errors are actually collected later on for the list instead of ending up with our relatively generic but in those cases bogus hint regarding "is gpgv installed?". The effective difference is minimal as the errors apply mostly to systems which have far worse problems than a not as nice looking error message, which makes this pretty hard to test – but at least now the hint that your system is broken can be read in proper order (= there aren't many valid cases in which the permissions of /tmp are messed up…).
