Bug#293207: bogofilter: last two versions caused db errors

2005-02-14 Thread Karl Schmidt

The only thing I can think of is that perhaps when you upgrade your
exim is still delivering files and things get in a confused state. If
you were actually removing and recreating your /etc/bogofilter
directory contents, then you would of course need to stop exim in this
process to keep this from happening.

I'm pretty sure I turned exim off by hand before I ran the script - (I will add 
it to my scrip when I test the next release).

Even if I failed to turn it off shouldn't the locking prevent such a problem? If 
not - that would be a bug in my mind. Not a bad idea to test - I could see it 
getting corrupted but working only to fail after some use.

I'm no expert on libdb, but most data bases support concurrency - I could see a 
problem when creating the data base - but shouldn't one be able to lock it to 
one instance for the creation phase?

More I think about this - I don't think exim could do that as the script I run 
as root creates root owned db files that the Debian-exim user couldn't talk to.

But, the other way around would be possible - Where exim creates the db and then 
the script adds to the db and possibly creates some log files with the root 
ownership that the Debian-exim user can't see.

Checking some ownerships...time passes ...
The directory has drwxrwx---   3 rootDebian-exim
all the db files are -rw-r--r--  1 Debian-exim Debian-exim
World readable -- owner only writable --
Let me test this right now. .. more time passes ..
With bogofilter  0.93.1-1
Ok deleting the db results in exims call of bogofilter creation of a db with:
-rw---  1 Debian-exim Debian-exim
running:
bogofilter -M -s -d /etc/bogofilter -I /home/karl/mail/zs-archived-spam2004
Creates some log files with -rw-r--r--  1 rootroot
Note the different owner AND permissions -- ok it is using the users create 
mask. -- Hmm should that really be the case? Could this scramble the db??

now with bogfilter 0.93.5-1
results in the same thing
Ok, I've changed my db recreation script to:
#!/bin/bash
wajig stop exim4
# yes my db directory should really be in var some place - but it is in /etc
rm /etc/bogofilter/* -f
bogofilter -M -s -d /etc/bogofilter -I /home/karl/mail/zs-archived-spam2004
bogofilter -M -s -d /etc/bogofilter -I /home/karl/mail/zs-archived-spam2003
bogofilter -M -s -d /etc/bogofilter -I /home/karl/mail/s-archived-spam
bogofilter -M -n -d /etc/bogofilter -I /home/karl/mail/z-archived2003
bogofilter -M -n -d /etc/bogofilter -I /home/karl/mail/z-archived2004
bogofilter -M -n -d /etc/bogofilter -I /home/karl/mail/archived
chown  Debian-exim.Debian-exim /etc/bogofilter/*
chmod go-r /etc/bogofilter/*
wajig start exim4
If this is the cause of the problem, it still leaves a question of how 
bogofilter should handle running as a different user than the db files?

I wonder if the problem was exim running
bogofilter -d /etc/bogofilter -l -p -e -u
as db creation command-- this all assumes I forgot to stop exim two different 
time (don't think so)?

As of now I'm running bogfilter 0.93.5-1 again and will let you know what 
happens in a few days time.

 used that one), deleted and recreated the DB files before running
 anything (as the bug submitter says he did). I ran another 30,000
 emails through this version, doing some 3,000 per hour. No problems.
 
 I will now move from 0.93.3 to 0.93.5 in the same manner.

This has completed, delivering ~38,000 emails, no problem at all.

I am going to tag this bug unreproducable, and we'll see what results
Karl has after his new tests.

No, because of permission problems. This is common with DB files,
especially with DB .log files. If the Debian-exim user suddenly cannot
read/write/execute one of the files in the database environment
because it is owned by the root user, then database corruption ensues.
This is not a problem with bogofilter at all, but with permissions on
your system. You can argue until you are blue in the face that it is a
problem with berkeley DB, but it is simply a permissions problem. If a
user who is not root does transactions to a database that this user
has access to, and then (due to the BDB configuration) a new
transaction log has to be created and the existing logfiles rotated,
there will be trouble if one of those .log files is owned by another
user other than the one doing the transaction. This is one of the most
common problems with Subversion using a BDB backend, setting up
permissions is paramount to keeping the DB from being corrupt.

 More I think about this - I don't think exim could do that as the script I 
 run as root creates root owned db files that the Debian-exim user couldn't 
 talk to.
 But, the other way around would be possible - Where exim creates the db and 
 then the script adds to the db and possibly creates some log files with the 
 root ownership that the Debian-exim user can't see.

This is exactly the problem. If your /etc/bogofilter directory has
files that are owned by root, and are not properly permissioned and
exim attempts to do transactions and cannot operate in the database
environment freely, you will get corruption. This is easily solved by
doing a db_recover, or simply making the permissions correct (a common
solution is to set the group sticky bit on the directory, or you could
run your bogofilter seeding as the Debian-exim user).

 bogofilter -M -s -d /etc/bogofilter -I /home/karl/mail/zs-archived-spam2004
 
 Creates some log files with -rw-r--r--  1 rootroot
 
 Note the different owner AND permissions -- ok it is using the users create 
 mask. -- Hmm should that really be the case? Could this scramble the db??

Absolutely... this is *the most common* cause of BDB database
corruption. If exim continues to run, it will soon want to do
operations on the database. It can do so many operations on the
database before a new transaction log is created, it'll be able to
read your root owned -rw-r--r-- files, but if it needs to write,
rename, move or anything to those files, BAM! you'll get DB
corruption. A very simple corruption that can be fixed with
db_recover, the DB wont be scrambled, but the environment is screwed
and needs to be hand fixed.

 #!/bin/bash
 wajig stop exim4
 # yes my db directory should really be in var some place - but it is in /etc
 rm /etc/bogofilter/* -f
 bogofilter -M -s -d /etc/bogofilter -I /home/karl/mail/zs-archived-spam2004
 bogofilter -M -s -d /etc/bogofilter -I /home/karl/mail/zs-archived-spam2003

 chown  Debian-exim.Debian-exim /etc/bogofilter/*
 chmod go-r /etc/bogofilter/*
 wajig start exim4
 
 If this is the cause of the problem, it still leaves a question of how 
 bogofilter should handle running as a different user than the db files?

This is a BDB setup problem, not a bogofilter problem really (and
should not be a grave Debian bogofilter bug as a result). Bogofilter
should run as Debian-exim in this scenario, so it isn't running as a
different user than the db files. As mentioned above, the most common
solution for this for a Subversion BDB environment where multiple
developers are needing to check-in files, who all have different
umasks, is to force the umasks to be something sane (022), but each
user in the same group and set the group stickybit on the database
directory.

 Well, normally there is
 http://www.backports.org/debian/dists/woody/bogofilter/binary-i386/
 but, it doesn't have any other versions.

Based on past reports, I would say that using any bogofilter debs from
backports.org is a surefire way to introduce corruption.

 A report on my findings thus far:
 
 I set up a pristine test environment to try and replicate the problem
 that Karl has been having. I have been able to setup a system running
 exim with the same configuration that Karl has, plugged into
 delivering mail through bogofilter, using the same bogofilter
 configuration as Karl. To setup the bogofilter databases, I fed
 approximately 2,000 ham messages and approximately 6,000 spam messages
 into bogofilter, creating database files in /etc/bogofilter with the
 same permissions as Exim. 
 
 I then proceeded to send test mails. In the beginning bogofilter
 failed after about 20 messages due to database corruption. This was
 because the /etc/bogofilter directory was not set to have the correct
 ownership and permissions as was needed. After confirming with Karl
 how he had his setup, I changed it in the test scenario and restarted
 the tests. I ran tests that simulated mail delivery of approximately
 1200 messages an hour (approximately 20/minute) for over 24 hours with
 no failures, I delivered approximately 35,000 messages with no
 problems at all.
 
 This is with exim 4.34-10 and bogofilter 0.93.5-1. It certainly seems
 that with a fresh installation of these versions everything works as
 expected.
 
 I am now going to try the same suite of tests with version 0.93.3 and
 then attempt to upgrade to 0.93.5-1 as this is where Karl seemed to
 have a problem, moving from 0.93.3 to 0.93.5. I need to somehow track
 down an older version of the .deb.
Well, normally there is

I also tried Google:

Bug#293207: bogofilter: last two versions caused db errors

2005-02-05 Thread Micah Anderson
The original bug report said that you were running:

Version: 0.93.1-1
ii  libdb4.24.2.52-17Berkeley v4.2 Database Libraries

and your problem occurs with both:
bogofilter_0.93.3.1-1_i386.deb
bogofilter_0.93.5-1_i386.deb

You say that bogofilter_0.93.1-1_i386.deb works and then go on to say:

At least bogofilter_0.93.1-1_i386.deb or the one before works without 
crashing the db file.

This is because your log format needs to be updated to the new format,
as the NEWS.Debian file indicates. Version 0.93.1 depended on libdb
4.2.25 (as you correctly have in the original report), moving to
0.93.0-2 or anything newer requires you to upgrade your libdb to 4.3
and perform the NEWS.Debian log format change procedure. 

I had this same problem because I didn't think I needed to perform the
log format upgrade, but I was wrong. As soon as I did it, things
worked fine again.

I suggest that you either go through the more painful proceedure of
dumping your wordlists to .txt files, destroying your DB environments
and then recreating them by reloading your wordlist.txt files, or
follow the steps outlined in the NEWS.Debian to upgrade your wordlist
databases. 

I am fairly confident that you will then find that your problem no
longer exists, as this is exactly what I had to do to make the problem
go away.

The problem exists after recreating all new db and log files via 
bogofilter. (I archive all ham AND spam). It only appeared after about 
48 hours of operation (the wrong version fails right away).

I don't see how this problem can be related to a change in db files when 
they were created after the upgrade.

If bogofilter is using the wrong version of libdb that is not because 
old db files because I deleted and recreated them.

For the record -The only lines from a grep db /etc/bogofilter.cf  are 
commented out just as in the default.

Please run bogofilter -V to check the bogofilter and Berkeley DB

bogofilter version. Remember that if you're inadvertently going forth
and back between Berkeley DB versions, your database environment may
break like this. Going backwards isn't supported (so bogoutil -d before
the upgrade, remove the database, downgrade, bogoutil -l), going
forwards requires you to remove the environment _BEFORE_ the update.
I have rewritten parts of README.db after the 0.93.5 release, hence I'm
adding the rewritten version below, perhaps it can help.

Installing bogofilter on a Debian testing box gives us:

chown  Debian-exim.Debian-exim /etc/bogofilter/*
Everything works (not sure if it is tagging quite as much spam) then it 
ends ups stopping after about 48 hours.

This is on a Tyan MB with ECC memory, antec powersupply - I think a 
quite stable system running bind, dhcp,hylasfax, samba, nfs, imap all 
flawlessly. I would suspect falky hardware at this point except going 
back to the older version fixes things.

Only other thing I can suspect is that exim is threaded - could there be 
a locking problem I'm seeing running two requests at a time? I can 
imagine that 48 hours would be long enough to be filtering two messages 
at the same time. That would explain why most people running in a single 
thread POP service manner would not see this bug.

The basic fact is I am sure I recreated the databases and didn't upgrade 
and try to run the old data base  (which if I remember would have failed 
at once.) Going back to the old version and once again reproducing the 
databases fixes the problem.

I can think that it would be easy to test by running two or three 
instances of bogofilter at the same time on some mail files. One can 
write a script that will fork and you might want to add it to your 
testing procedure. Hope this helps.

I hope I didn't sound off base here and hope I haven't ruffled any 
feathers, but I really do think that these should spend some time in 
unstable.

Bug#293207: bogofilter: last two versions caused db errors

Not much of a justification, is it?
First, I appriciate your efforts.
There really is a policy about spending time in unstable. See:
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/ch-pkgs.en.html#s-t-p-u
And
From:
http://release.debian.org/sarge_rc_policy.txt
 makes unrelated software on the system (or the whole system)
  break
When this breaks it stops Exim in my setup. Thus there are actually two 
policy violations.


I'm not sure of the exact rules, but I don't see the normal time in unstable before these end up in Sarge. 

Rolled back to what?
A stable version with a new version number.
At least bogofilter_0.93.1-1_i386.deb or the one before works without 
crashing the db file. You have to realize that sarge is about to go 
stable. Lots of people are starting to run sarge on production machines.
This didn't spend any time in unstable after the upstream release. I 
think 30 days to see what bugs come back would be a starting point.

  Did you read NEWS.Debian?
Yes - even been in the news.

bogofilter isn't frozen yet.  testing-proposed-updates doesn't apply.

bogofilter isn't breaking exim.  Apparently bogofilter is breaking, and
exim is failing to handle that.

 At least bogofilter_0.93.1-1_i386.deb or the one before works without
 crashing the db file. You have to realize that sarge is about to go
 stable. Lots of people are starting to run sarge on production machines.

You seem to be the only person to experience such a problem for at least
the past month.

 For the record, this user is describing switching from a db4.2-linked
 bogofilter to a db4.3-linked bogofilter.
 
 Not true --- I rebuilt the databases

You may have rebuilt the databases, but that doesn't change the fact
that you're claiming that the db4.2-version is fine, and the
db4.3-version is experiencing corruption.

 It worked for most of 48 hours.
 
 Did the same for the last debian release - with the same problem.

Are you using libdb4.3 4.3.27-1 with the problematic bogofilter versions?
