Summary: Review Request: ZoneMinder - Linux CCTV package https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=220931 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-06-23 16:25 EST ------- BTW, if you have other packages, you should submit them. Sponsorship is always harder to achieve when you've only provided one packaging sample. Maybe that's one reason this ticket has been around for so long. But no matter; I'll take care of things now. I think an assumption that _datadir will change only rarely is OK and better than having the absolute symlinks. I was actually asking whether the application could be patched when I asked if it's not possible to direct the program to look directly in /var/lib/zm/* instead of needing symlinks. I guess the fundamental question is whether that data needs to be directly accessible from a URL. And a related question is whether those directories need to be restricted in some way. I just checked my zoneminder installation and I'm rather surprised to see that you can look in the events directory and see basically everything without logging in at all. Now, it's possible that my installation is screwed up; I'm using some other packaging so whatever it does might not be duplicated by this package. But in this package I don't see anything which would prevent this; FollowSymlinks is explicitly set, as is Indexes. So in fact, I think that it's rather critically important that what's in /var/lib/zm not be visible at all from the web, and so it really shouldn't be present or reachable from /usr/share/zoneminder/www. This either entails patching the software to just look in /var/lib/zm directly and to drop the symlinks, or to restrict access to those directories somehow with .htaccess files or directly in the zoneminder.conf file. And on the subject of access control, if this package ships with some sort of default password, the default access controls in zoneminder.conf need to deny all access by default except that from localhost. Currently just installing this package gives the world access, and that coupled with default passwords is bad. Usually packages include a README.Fedora file explaining additional configuration bits like this which need to be done. The scriptlets look a bit weird; it's meaningless to have the #! line in them since they are passed to /bin/sh by default unless you specify another shell with -p. But I don't really see any issue with adding comments to a scriptlet. I note that some additional features are enabled when Archive::Tar is installed; as it's a small module, would it be worth adding it as a dependency? In summary, I see the access control issues as blockers.
