[sugar] preliminary [PATCH] and discussion for #5657: activity isolation for all activities in ~/Activities
Problem: anything named Journal, Terminal, Log, or Analyze is not
isolated. This is the biggest security hole we have right now: it is a
trivial way for any activity to get root access.
Idea: as a short-term hack (until we have good cryptographic signatures for
activities), only turn off isolation if an activity is in
.../share/sugar/activities. Installation here is only possible for root (or
at build time).
Implementation:
This makes sense to implement in activitybundle.py, respecting a line in
activity.info like:
bitfrost_requests = P_ROOT, P_OTHER_UNIMPLEMENTED_THING, ...
That means that the data then passes up the chain: to bundleregistry, to
activityregistryservice, to sugar.activity.registry, and then to
activityfactory. Passing it up the chain meant fixing the call signatures
all the way along, and doing some refactoring along the way.
Status:
Works, not well tested (I will test more before submitting it definitively.
Also I'll have to include the patch to Journal's activity.info. Patches to
the other activities and packaging concerns will wait for round 3.) Marcopg
or others, feel free to start the review on the included patches; there are
enough bigger design decisions evident that we can get a jump on review even
before I do the solid testing on Monday.
Consequences:
- Changing the four activities named above to be installed in
share/sugar/activities. To remove them, a country would need to use a
customization key.
- If the activities above are in a country's build, they cannot be
uninstalled by user. If they are upgraded by user, they lose their
unisolated powers; if the upgrade is removed, they regain them. (Not tested)
Related issues:
- The use of version numbers to distinguish two versions of a single
activity is improved by this patch, but is still inconsistent. Erratic
behaviour is expected when two versions of the same activity are present,
although in normal use (all installation through the journal) this would
never happen as the older versions would be uninstalled automatically.
- Of course, the long-term solution is activity signatures.
- It will still be possible for a web link to claim to be activity X, but to
actually replace Browse (or other) with a trojanned version. (I know, this
is only weakly related, but it came up while I was discussing this patch
with Eben, so I mention it here.) I tracced this: #7761

There are several projects and pages that suggest that you sign-up to help do '$variable'. There are several problems with this idea.

If I wanted to send a message to this list, I would have to wade through User_talk: pages and communicate with each person individually each time I want to make an announcement. This is compounded by the fact that many users don't sign the page or add a link to their user page, and merely type their names. We can say sign with .

[sugar] ATTN Activity Authors/Owners: Default activity icon colors
Ticket #7741 [1] points out that inconsistencies in the default colors of activity icons appear in the filter of the Journal. This is Sugar's fault, not yours. Unfortunately, we can't adjust the APIs as needed in order to fix this correctly for 8.2, and so we instead humbly request that all activity icons be bundled with the defaults listed below, to help us hide our indiscretion until we can do so. The appropriate defaults, for now, are: stroke: #010101 fill: #FF Note that it should be easy to fix any icons simply by hand editing the file to adjust the entity definitions (see http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Making_Sugar_Icons#Defining_Entities_2); it's not necessary to export the icon again. Thanks for helping us hide our embarrassment! - Eben, and the Sugar team PS. Note that in the future, even though Sugar will always render icons appropriately in any context, the recommended default for icons will be a #66 stroke (and white fill), so as to match the appearance of the icons when rendered in Home. This will, in particular, improve the consistency of icon appearances of the wiki. The script linked from the above wiki page includes a flag to automatically render icons in the (new) defaults, for future reference.

Of course, it means that can install using cp -r, including installing a trojan activity which does not *look* like Terminal. ... My patch has activities requesting P_ROOT in activity.info. Could we simply refuse to do a normal install for such activities? We could even keep a list of them, and not respect what's not on the list, and only update the list on a keyed install.

Realized that the paler text in the second Terminal screen corresponded to the *brightest* areas of the movie frame then being shown in the first Terminal screen (the one I had switched way from). Video is muxed to the visible screen through the use of a color key - given a rectangle of some size, the hardware compares all of the pixels in that rectangle against a set color - if they match, then a pixel of the video frame is shown, otherwise not. The color is specified by the video application - most applications use very saturated colors similar to those used in green or blue screens. My favorite is hot pink (0xFF00FF). IIRC, mplayer uses an off-shade color of grey, so it is easier to run into the possibility that other applications will match the color key, especially with automatic shading such as anti-aliasing.

Re: [sugar] specifying what services Activities may use
Erik Garrison [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Maybe what I'm suggesting boils down to integrate this core activities in the environment so that people installing Sugar won't have to install them separatly. Just the same way that installing a standard Fedora will install Gnome (will install evolution (etc...)). What I'm suggesting is that this step requires global optimization wrt which activities are 'core'. This is difficult, as various deployments have different usage patterns and require different sets of software. Yes, I understand this, but it's quite reasonable to assume that each deployment will like the list of activities that is listed in the Core category (cf. http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Category:Core) I have often built debian systems using debootstrap to pull in the most minimal typically used system components. On top of such a system customization is easy. I am suggesting that we may wish to develop a similar system so that our downstream developers can have more flexibility in customizing their systems. Activites could be Sugar-core and not XO-system core. Agreed. We could have something like: ~$ apt-get install sugar = Install Sugar with a default set of activities ~$ apt-get install sugar-extra-activities = Install a set of extra activities ~$ apt-get install sugar-nepal-activities = Install a specific bundle with extra activities If Sugar installation takes this route, then there is something else that has to be defined: the default favorite activities. Each deb package above should define the default set of favs. And maybe there could be a way of importing someone's favs easily, whatever the extra package people installed.

The bug was caused by a custom intltool on my system I needed for something else. Sorry for the noise.

Re: [sugar] specifying what services Activities may use

The holes in RPM drove me to Debian. %-[ With rpm if something is missing for something you want to install, it complains and won't let you install it. Apt and yum also track dependencies, both better than RPM, and rather than refuse to install, they offer to get the dependent libraries for you. Why aren't we using this approach with xo-get? It seems like a lot of the python code I have looked at assumes you have stuff and just quietly dies and you have to look at the log and see, oh I am missing some module. Like the Terminal activity needs python-json. Pacman needs pygame.

The problem is bigger than that. Since Joyride 2210, I have seen three of the Activities I often show off get broken by the *removal* of services from the Joyride builds. If the current software distribution process has trouble matching existing Activities to the services_provided_by_a_Build -- how will NOT YET EXISTING Activities be accommodated by the software that Sugar is supposed to run on top of ??? I'm thinking of someone in a far-off land who has an idea for a killer Activity, to be run under Sugar. HOW does he learn which (library, or kernel, or whatever) services will be available *everywhere* Sugar can be installed, which services will be available only with *specific* builds/platforms, and which services would *never* be available for functions fitted into Sugar ? mikus ___ Sugar mailing list Sugar@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar ___ Sugar mailing list Sugar@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar -- Silent Thunder [默雷/शब्दगर्ज] is my name, And Children are my nation.
