For stop a similar thing holds, s-s-d will also do nothing if the process already died, I didn't actually test what happens if the pidfile doesn't exist though. Note that the original had some 'sleep 1; kill' bits, s-s-d also has support for that -- but that's only really useful if imapproxy ever actually fails to obey a regular TERM signal, of which I have no indication. Please, pretty please, don't just /dev/null and || true so much in general, for most things you want to solve that way have a better way to deal with it.

Bug#415954: Bug#416156: PID handling in init.d is fragile

(You are right in the changes you made, I would have done it differently) That's of course fine, your decision as maintainer. Changes: - function Daemonize ( const char* pidfile ); Fine. I did put the function back where it was though, instead of moving it way below, because the stuff in between can hang (for example, when failing to connect, it'll indefinitely retry every 15 seconds, causing 'start' to hang). Yup. I noticed that. From my POV, it is related to a misconfiguration of the server --- being configured to connect to a nonexistent/malfunctioning IMAP server. However, I do realize it could hang the booting process, so it should be fixed. ACK to your solution It's a misconfiguration, sure, but one that happens on default install (out of the box imapproxy is misconfigured? Well, it was in my case, but probably related to the fact that I don't actually have any imap server running on my test machine :) In any case, yeah, the problem is that start should simply never hang. Moving Daemonize to later on was not related to this RC bug. Putting it in its own function isn't either, but is pretty harmless, so ok. It does allow to move where Daemonize is called easily ;) - added support for the -p pidfile option Cool. There was a buglet here -- you didn't initialize the var and then only overwrote it with the default if it started with a nulbyte. I changed that to simply always initialize it to the default. Indeed. I know better than to have a variable unitialized, BUT I followed upstream's style here (the same pattern as with the configfile) -- I am aiming for inclusion of this by now HUGE patch, anyway... Yes, but in that case, you failed to properly copypaste the full thing -- upstream *does* set the first byte of ConfigFile to \0, you didn't copy that bit. You also didn't completely copy the logging to be analogous. I have tested starting / restarting / stopping / re-stopping Added code to not actually fail on second start / fail on second stop that I had already prepared. It now should really work fine in all cases. I also removed dead code from checking the exit state of a 'true'. I removed the || true so that the script just fails right there when it eh, fails. ACK. I will re-check the Developer's Reference for mandated/recommended messages and initscript behaviour in those cases not covered by the Policy. I'm not so sure either dev-ref or policy are very verbose on this, it'd be good for someone to look into this at some point... But world peace would also be nice :). Comments? I'll be up until late... This late :)? Wll... not today :-\ Tsk tsk :-P. Anyway, thanks a lot for your work on the pidfile handling, it was convenient to only need to verify, and not really write it all. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

But I did test that case (pointing to a non-existant server) Imapproxy's configuration process does ask you for a server, so a misconfiguration there is certainly due to the user. Fwiw, I was never asked anything. But in the chroot in question I might have debconf set to non-interactive or at least high priority.

I already have a version which daemonizes as late as possible (i.e. just before launching threads). It does help a bit in the sense that imapproxy will abort execution before dettaching from the parent (s-s-d in this case), but not more. I think the pid of the process right after the second fork in src/main.c is the one you want. imapproxy should have support to write down that process id to a file, for example, to a configurable place (like pidfile /var/run/imapproxy.pid in /etc/imapproxy.conf). If that'd be the default too, then it'd just work, even if the user doesn't upgrade his config. If imapproxy would do that, then the --background and --pid-file options to s-s-d can be dropped, and it'd all just work. If you can implement this minimally, I'll sponsor you, unless some RM tells that even this change would be too intrusive. (3) give up and revert to the sarge killall imapproxyd way of stopping the daemon The current way in this init.d script is worse than the killall imapproxyd thingy, it attempts to kill just one (random) instance of imapproxyd in a very special way (by first writing some found-via-ps PID to the pidfile and then using kill-by-pid...) But anyway it plainly fails at this too. Unfortunately, yes. This initscript has become a pile of patches one of top of the other. A rewrite I have done (reverting to the new LSB-compliant /etc/init.d/skeleton) doesn't work much better, either. In fact, it is unable to even start imapproxy as it is right now [launching 'manually' does work] the killall imapproxyd is still the plan B I'd say. As attachment, my NMU patch which would have fixed this whole mess if not for #416179. The biggest part of it is still applicable for the no-op behaviour of start stop when already started/stopped, and it fixes pid-file-removal. I think the best way forward would be to go for (2). If you elaborate a bit more on this, I can get it done tonight, I think. See above for what I think should be implemented. Otherwise, please feel free to contribute whatever you see fit. My current set of changes just move the daemonization code into a function of its own and call it just before pthread_create. I don't understand, but I'm not sure it matters at this point. You might want to send a patch of your current changes to me or so, so that I can understand, but I don't think this is some change to consider right now. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#406465: [bind backend] TXT record parsing overflow with special characters
Package: pdns-server Version: 2.9.20-7 Severity: serious Tags: security (serious because what I see looks like a buffer overflow, however, I didn't look into the code yet, so I make no claims as to whether this is exploitable) Having a TXT record in a bind-backend zone file that contains a parentizes ( character, causes all kinds of weird things. Firstly, the zone fails to serve. Syslog says: Jan 11 11:40:47 foo pdns[29515]: Zone 'a-eskwadraat.nl' (/etc/powerdns/zonefiles/db.nl.a-eskwadraat) reloaded but all queries including zone transfers result in servfail: Jan 11 11:40:47 foo pdns[29515]: Not authoritative for 'foo.a-eskwadraat.nl', sending servfail to 127.0.0.1 (recursion was desired) After replacing foo TXT ( with foo TXT paren-open and reloading, I get the following: | foo:/etc/powerdns# dig foo.a-eskwadraat.nl TXT @localhost | | ; DiG 9.3.3 foo.a-eskwadraat.nl TXT @localhost | ; (1 server found) | ;; global options: printcmd | ;; Got answer: | ;; -HEADER- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 8804 | ;; flags: qr aa rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 | | ;; QUESTION SECTION: | ;foo.a-eskwadraat.nl.

The sane way is to remove cdrtools from Debian main (unstable) and add a free replacement, most possible a fork from the last free version (which had only the CDDL licensed build scripts, which can easily be replaced by some automake thing). If you want to join that effort - contact me. For Debian etch I dont think its a big problem right now, dependencies will stop it from getting removed before we release. There many reverse dependencies still, and there is no replacement at the moment nor dummy upgrade packages for users of tools like 'mkisofs'. Removing now would break too many things. Therefore, we cannot sanely remove it right now. One possibility is to do an epoched upload of the previous version, that doesn't have this controversial legal issue around it? It doesn't seem controversial to me either to apply code patches from upstream to this version if so needed, as the controversy doesn't include the code itself. This allows to not have this controversy hold etch hostage. For the record, I do not (yet) hereby judge on the legal controversy itself, there is no ftp-master position on the matter (yet). --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#376777: parsing packages files: Reads from pipe results in corrupt data
The problem lies in the addition of several lines in apt/apt-pkg/tagfile.cc that were added for the mmappable package file case, but in the fix for #376777, were not put inside proper ifstatements for the non-mmap case, and are actually broken in that case (corruption every 64kB of package file). This patch reverts to having really the pre-mmap code in cases where mmap is not possible, as a more complete fix than the fix for #376777 (which I believe is incomplete and still results in broken behaviour, though more subtly). Well, patch, pseudo-code -- Map isn't in scope in Scan, so this code doesn't compile. And passing it as parameter changes the API (why Scan is in the API is unclear to me). Someone better aware of the logic involved here should really take a look -- maybe those two changes in Scan can actually really be reverted without bad effects. --- apt-pkg/tagfile.cc 2006-07-27 00:51:47.0 +0200 +++ apt-pkg/tagfile.cc 2006-08-19 00:54:32.240562270 +0200 @@ -207,7 +207,7 @@ Stop = Section = Start; memset(AlphaIndexes,0,sizeof(AlphaIndexes)); - if (Stop == 0 || MaxLength == 0) + if (Stop == 0 || (Map != NULL MaxLength == 0)) return false; TagCount = 0; @@ -238,7 +238,7 @@ Stop++; } - if ((Stop+1 = End) (End[-1] == '\n' || End[-1] == '\r')) + if (Map != NULL (Stop+1 = End) (End[-1] == '\n' || End[-1] == '\r')) { Indexes[TagCount] = (End - 1) - Section; return true; Thanks, --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#383487: parsing packages files: Reads from pipe results in corrupt data
Package: python-apt Version: 0.6.19 Severity: serious Please find attached a simple python script that can parse and print a package file, via a pipe using cat or directly with 'open()'. With open, the result will be identical to the original, as verifiable via 'diff'. However, using os.popen with cat will result in inserted newlines, which indicates that stanza's with packages are not read in correctly. In some bigger files, such as current i386 packages files, you'll also see partial reads of the long descriptions. So far, I can reproduce this with all Packages files in unstable/main, or basicly any packages file that has sufficient many entries.

The 6 Mozilla updates since Sarge's release should show that, each fixing an average of about 10 security vulnerabilities that got CVE IDs assigned. The difficulty of keeping Mozilla secure is expected to increase largely due to the end of upstream support, already effective. Considering the security track up to now in Sarge, and the important security drop expected, even if the grave bugs currently opened against Mozilla suite are resolved, the suite will most likely get to a point where it will be better to remove it from stable Etch than keeping it, which is not desirable. Instead, as there are alternatives to the Mozilla suite, packages depending on Mozilla should find alternatives or be removed, and then the Mozilla suite should be removed before Etch's release. Takuo, please reassign this to ftp.d.o unless you disagree. Takuo is MIA for this package. We are already taking care of this problem. Anyway, please push the ITP holder for seamonkey to finally upload his package [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks for the information about Takuo. seamonkey was already uploaded, but was rejected by ftp-master. I'm reassigning to ftp.d.o. ftp-master may choose to wait some time before proceeding, which could let seamonkey become an upgrade path. Otherwise, I think that removing Mozilla now won't break unstable too badly. The main problem is eclipse (#364368), which isn't in testing since a long time anyway. Note that there should be serious bugs against all source packages in testing depending on mozilla-browser, except for about 10 mozilla-locale packages. Please provide a transition package for mozilla-browser from seamonkey, as soon as (but no earlier than) seamonkey is an adequate replacement in Debian. Mozilla is a major package with over 35% installed base in popcon. It shouldn't just be removed and leaving users without an upgrade path. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

The package is disfunctional out of the box and can only work by getting external files of doubtful copyright either manually or via an installer script. While this might be acceptable for a package in contrib (if the files can be downloaded legally in some circumstances), it is not as long as this package is in main. Also, I think you should really research the copyright situation a bit better, in order to provide users of this package with adequate advice in the README what the concerns are with the support files, currently there's a bit of handwaving and the user is left on his own on this matter. While it's the user who is downloading the support files, I think Debian should only offer that option if that can be done legally in at least some circumstances.

If ftp-master cannot do something about this, can you please upload a new package and pass an option to dpkg-buildpackage so it'll include the tar ball. Unless you happen to have a newer upstream, this will be futile. According to the katie software, the .orig.tar.gz is fine -- this is because there is no constraint enforcing same component for the different source files. And indeed: /org/ftp.debian.org/ftp/pool/contrib/l/lxdoom/lxdoom_1.4.4.orig.tar.gz Unfortunately, woody still ships this .orig.tar.gz too. Other than really uploading a new upstream, this can only be fixed by some manual SQLing on ftp-master, if the core bug isn't fixed (and there isn't a patch yet, which would also be complicated, because of uniqueness-of-filenames assumptions). So the source is available, but not on the expected spot. This prevents (auto)building, and automatic source retrieval. Bottom line: by far easiest is to ensure you get a new upstream. There are bugreports on ftp.debian.org about this problem, but it's a very rare cornercase (non-new-upstream versions of packages moving from contrib to main and such), with a tricky fix. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Package: alsa-utils Version: 1.0.8-4 Severity: grave (note, I'm running Sarge) Running alsaconf, my modules.conf was modified: -alias net-pf-10 off# IPv6 +# alias net-pf-10 off # IPv6 It did ask for modification of modules.conf, but not to actually enable IPv6 on my machine, something some services over here break under. alsaconf should definitely not modify a configuration file with totally unrelated modifications, without very clearly asking to. Also, there is no dry-run option what would list the proposed modifications, and alsaconf is very chatty. While nice, in most cases I guess it can be much less so, and actually with only slight modifications cause sound to work out-of-the-box: autodetected at bootup, without writing anything to a configuration file?

Not to contradict you, since my understanding of these issues is strongly limited, but apt seems to think that it cannot validate the archive? I know, I said should, because I believe apt should deal with the multiple signatures correctly, instead of the current behaviour of (it seems) only looking at the last one and/or requiring all signatures to verify. Apt needs to be satisfied with just at least one of the multiple signatures verifying, so that there can be turnover periods, and for example third party repositories can have multiple signatures too, for certain circumstances. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

The problem is simply lack of authentication for this particular page -- so it can be exploited by simple manipulating of the post id in the url to actually see (and edit) random private messages. There is no CVE id for this. These don't smell like security. There's also no bug report or cve name attached to them, so I don't know which issues they intend to fix if any.

Bug#342619: [exim] Potential logic error in retry handling for IPv4+IPv6 hosts
(Please cc me on all replies, I'm not subscribed) On Sat, Dec 17, 2005 at 05:32:15PM +0100, Florian Weimer wrote: * Marc Haber: This is, btw, not an ipv6 issue exclusively, it might happen in ipv4-only setups as well. See Debian Bug #342619 for another example. I'm not sure if it's the same bug, and I wouldn't be surprised if the behavior was deliberate in that case (after all, the whole long failure period business is there to generate immediate bounces, so that users won't have to wait for five days until they are told about their mistake). In the example in the bug report, we there are two A RRs: mailrelay.direct-adsl.nl. 86400 IN A 195.121.6.12 mailrelay.direct-adsl.nl. 86400 IN A 195.121.6.56 But resolvers MUST cache the whole set of records and expire them at the same time. If the resolver fails to do this properly and provides a wrong view on DNS, there is no workaround on Exim's side. The DNS setup changed in the meanwhile, because of, as I now know, a wrong guess at the cause of the failure. The old setup had MX's from multiple different zone's, and the one MX that had a long failure was also served the DNS server of the mail server, but the secundary MX's to which the mail should have been delivered to, was only remotely DNS-served -- so the DNS server in question at times only had the broken MX cached (well, was authoritive for it, even), and only that was in the additional section -- the IP addresses of the working MX's were out of the cache. The only solution seems to me to actively query for all A (and ) records of all MX's before determining that no MX's are available for delivery -- the additional DNS section is not to be trusted to ever give an exhaustive list of IP addresses to try. I'd even say that it needs to happen at every delivery attempt after delivery is found to be unsuccesful to all the MX's in the additional section, because it can happen that some MX's are more often in it than others. And you don't want delivery to fail just because at the ultimate attempt all MX's happen to be down -- but some were up in the past 4 days. Note that RFC 974, MAIL ROUTING AND THE DOMAIN SYSTEM from 1986 (predating IPv6 by 12 years) explicitely warns against wrong handling of the DNS additional section for MX queries: | The incomplete data problem also requires some care when handling | domain queries. If the answer section of a query is incomplete | critical MX RRs may be left out. This may result in mail looping, or | in a message being mistakenly labelled undeliverable. As a result, | mailers may only accept responses from the domain system which have | complete answer sections. Note that this entire problem can be | avoided by only using virtual circuits for queries, but since this | situation is likely to be very rare and datagrams are the preferred | way to interact with the domain system, implementors should probably | just ensure that their mailer will repeat a query with virtual | circuits should the truncation bit ever be set. Even though the RFC only mentions problems regarding to DNS datagram truncation, and does not mention the issue that is more relevant here, incomplete answer due to unbalanced caching -- a problem which only can happen with MX's out of multiple zone's or with IPv6 (or explicitely unbalanced TTL's in one zone, but I consider *that* very unlikely). --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Can you comment about http://www.exim.org/mail-archives/exim-users/Week-of-Mon-20051212/msg00196.html please? That sounds very much like the cause of this bug. It's also possible even for IPv4 issues like the one in my original bugreport, as also in that case, TTL's were distinct, and indeed, the situation could arrise that a DNS query would give only partial results in the additional section, because of the setup of the involved DNS servers. So, it seems like the logic error is in that the additional DNS section is believed to be complete, which is not at all guaranteed to be true -- it can be partial for any reason. Thanks a lot for finding the (IMHO) most logical cause of this bug, which according to Ockham's razor, is the cause of this bug.

If you were to only have a static version of the library (which I would strongly discourage, fwiw, regardless of what upstream says, but still), there is no reason to have two packages, everything could and should be in the -dev.

There is no such package in Debian, but still. Also, you moved the static libraries without adding a proper Replaces: field, breaking all upgrades.

Anyway if you think the package wastes too much disk space it is ok for me to remove it. 80MB can be significant in making the cut between 2 DVD's or 3 DVD's, or whether or not sarge fits on 1 dual-layer DVD. To be honest, for the latter 80MB savings might not be enough, but it certainly helps a big deal, this book being close to 1% of the size of sarge.

The broken lines you pasted are the result of running the clean target without satisfying the build dependencies (which is not correct as exlained in Policy 7.6). Well, the bug I discovered because some ftp-master script puking on the Sources.gz file of upstream, which comes from the .dsc of gnome-applets. In whatever way that has become, is not relevant to this being an question of Build-Depends syntax error. The problem with the package is then that the .dsc can have different Build-Depends depending on what packages were installed during clean run, something that's very awkward and, as this bugs shows, will introduce bugs. If you're doing akward things like control rebuilding in clean, please make sure you have proper tests in place to get it right, that is, error out if something is missing, and/or even better, don't autoupdate control, but only do so on a specific, non-automaticly invoked, debian/rules target.

Bug#271782: Udeb handling by britney -- a proposal
Hi all, Let me first briefly outline how britney currently handles udebs: - Well, it doesn't really, there's simply a plain text file in heidi format, called 'HeidiDI', that lists the testing versions for udebs, and commits that daily to the database. That's it, it requires manual updating. This is of course not an ideal situation. Not only requires it manual intervention every time something changes, it also makes the 'sources go in along with all the corresponding binaries' property not true for d-i binaries. When unstable slugs on, udeb's that one might want to have in testing, could be already being removed due to this. My proposal is to maintain the 'sources go in along with all corresponding binaries' property for testing at all times. There are two major cases for d-i binaries: - Source packages with only udebs - Source packages with both debs and udebs Both could be handled just like the other source packages in principle, but a number of assumptions why britney keeps testing in an mostly releaseable state at all times don't go for udebs: dependencies are often inadequate, and so is testing/filing of RC bugs on the correct packages. With the current hints available to the release team though, this can be handled adequately and consistently by them, in stead of via HeidiDI. I think that for now[1] udeb-only sources definitely should get a semi-permanent block hint, and only updated manually via an unblock hint. Mixed packages can go either way, if their maintainers are well aware of the implications of modifying the udeb's, they can be handled as any non-udeb related package. But when gearing up for a release, at least when entering the stage where one thinks about release candidates, those mixed packages are better off with block hints too (a partial freeze). Does anyone see any disadvanteage of this approach to udeb handling? Otherwise, with a realatively simple patch to britney udeb disparities will become something of the past, and the d-i team has by means of Joey Hess the possibility to push the testing set of udeb's into shape easily. --Jeroen [1] While britney cannot accurately enough propgate udeb's automatically -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
