[Tails-dev] Please review'n'merge test/rjb-migration

2013-12-24 Thread bertagaz
Hi,

Now that a more recent libvirt containing patches to support the removable
flag for USB devices has been uploaded to Wheezy-backports, I've updated
the test/rjb-migration feature branch so that installation now is easy for
anyone running Wheezy.

Test process of this branch should be to start from a fresh Wheezy
installation (on bare metal or in a VM), and install all the necessary
packages, following
https://tails.boum.org/contribute/release_process/test/setup, and then run
the test suite. Failures that might appear should be related to outdated
scenarios or steps rather than libvirt or rjb problems.

If happy with it, please merge it into devel and experimental.

Tickets to take care of should be #6399 and #6314.

Congrats goes to anonym, who did great work for this migration. I just
tested it works and updated the documentation.

bert.

[Tails-dev] CBC malleability attack

2013-12-24 Thread Marco Calamari
After readint the descritpion of this attack (injection attack type
 against LUKS-CBC volumes) 

http://www.jakoblell.com/blog/2013/12/22/practical-malleability-attack-against-cbc-encrypted-luks-partitions/

I check that my persistent partition (built a lot of TAILS
 version ago) is of CBC type.

 reformat?

Thanks a lot and good X-mas
