Bug#1029968: And some patches
As well as the fixes in 6.6, we also need this patchup series here: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/ZWibhE350L3BTRK8@gallifrey/T/#t These seem to make it pretty nicely. -- -Open up your eyes, open up your mind, open up your code --- / Dr. David Alan Gilbert| Running GNU/Linux | Happy \ \dave @ treblig.org | | In Hex / \ _|_ http://www.treblig.org |___/
Bug#1029968: fixed in 6.6
This looks like it's fixed in 6.6, I think they had a major rewrite in there. It's a conversion to vb2 in the series starting with d1846d72587e9241e73a18da14a325b43700013b There are a couple of minor oddities with that (they list the sequence cost the bttv had) but that's relatively minor.

Bug#761037: epub bugs
Hi Boris, Are your bugs fixed by: https://github.com/captn3m0/ebook-tools/commit/5079e63250cd2f04a0829b273623c15ecb7586c4 I noticed that patch from a few days ago, and that was by someone who had run afl against it. It seems to fix Okular epub bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=466425 (I can't tell if these are actually security bugs or not, but havining epub readers crash feels dodgy) Dave -- -Open up your eyes, open up your mind, open up your code --- / Dr. David Alan Gilbert| Running GNU/Linux | Happy \ \dave @ treblig.org | | In Hex / \ _|_ http://www.treblig.org |___/

It's a bit messy... a) The patch I bisected to is not the root cause of the bug; it just triggers a ~9 year old bug in the v4l code - so this patch isn't going to get changed. b) The ~9 year old bug is in a particularly hairy piece of memory management code in v4l that I doubt anyone is going to fix. c) The plan is all the drivers using that API are to either be retired or rewritten using a new API; that's already been done for some of the drivers and the bttv one is a few months out. I'm not sure that's any use to this version of Debian though. d) The work arounds are: 1) Disable iommu 2) some v4l tools can use an mmap interface rather than the read(2) interface; that seems to be OK.

Yep, will do; I'm just going to try a 6.2rc as well just in case it's got fixed very recently, and have a poke about in case I can see any obvious cause now I know the change that triggered it. I'll include the linux-media list as well since it's just as likely that it's a fault on the v4l/bttv driver.

the problem is the screenResources.d is NULL
I don't know the sctructure of the KDE code to know where the right place

Bug#865001: Acknowledgement (kscreen_backend[....]: segfault at 10 ip .... sp ... error 4 in KSC_XRandR.so)
I think this is fall out from the X server crashing first - I filed bug 864998 for what looks like a qxl driver bug that is causing X to crash; but still I don't think kscreen_backend should be crashing, it should be exiting with an error if X disappears.

Package: xserver-xorg-video-qxl Version: 0.1.4+20161126git4d7160c-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? Debian 9 fresh install in QEMU, qxl video; KDE desktop It worked on first boot, but crashed on 2nd login.

Bug#696562: Barrage: Name field too short
Package: barrage
Version: 1.0.3-1
This was originally Ubuntu bug report :
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/barrage/+bug/1008011
When built with fortify this fails at the code, menu.c:38
snprintf( entry-name, 24, %s, name ); entry-name[23] = 0;
which all looks nice and careful until you look at menu.h:
typedef struct {
charname[20]; /* name */
int x, w, h;/* size and x position; y depends on the
position
in the menu and is computed dynamically */
int id; /* unique id */
} MenuEntry;
Here is a patch I wrote:
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/126521626/03_fixmenuentrylength.patch
Actually, I've just ntocied it's fixed upstream in 1.0.4 so probably
the best thing is just to grab that.

Bug#695467: Horgand too short buffer
Package: horgand
Version: 1.14-4
This started as Ubuntu bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/horgand/+bug/891939
There's a strcpy of an 11 char string (+nil) into a 10 char fixed array;
that on Ubuntu's Fortify build causes it to seg at startup.
I've got a fix below for it; that I think is safe (it certainly
gets past the seg), but for me I'm hitting problems with it not being
able to open the (hard coded) alsa device.
There are further places in the code that aggregate this length onto
other strings into other fixed sized buffers that look safe; but
given the number of fixed length buffers I wouldn't be surprised
if there are further issues.
Description: Buffer was too short for chord name

On the ubuntu builds of Moria with fortify, Moria is crashing on startup:

however I don't know the game so it needs checking to see it's

Version: 1:4.7.3-1.4
This bug is due to me triaging the ubuntu bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/xpilot-ng/+bug/1033250
On ubuntu, with xpilot-ng built with fortify, there is a crash
when asking for an internet game. This is due to a 1 char too short
buffer for holding the pingtime to the server; there is a use of a
magic constant (1) that when printed into the 5 char buffer
for the ping time overruns by 1 due to the terminating \0
I submitted this trivial patch to Ubuntu and upstream:
## Description: pingtime_str must be large enough for the PING_UNKNOWN response

Bug#695307: tcpick thinko and patch
Package: tcpick
Version: 0.2.1-6
This started off as an ubuntu bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tcpick/+bug/1086534
There's a thinko/cut-n-paste in time.c:time_ascii where there is
an incorrect length memset; this causes fortify to kill it
in the Ubuntu built versions.
I don't see any upstream activity for years, so I'm not sure
there is really anywhere to report it there.

Bug#695312: tcpick write.c seg
Package: tcpick Version: 0.2.1-6 This started out life as Ubuntu bug : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tcpick/+bug/1026902 The user reported that they can trigger a seg by running tcpick -wRC -wRS -r afile.pcap looking at write.c:avail_filename there are multiple problems: servername=(char *)lookup(conn_ptr-server.ip); sprintf(client_server,%s_%s_%s, client_server, servername, getportname(server_port) ); is the line that segs; note that it's using a parameter (client_server) as the output string; according to sprintf manpage this is sanely disallowed in C99 (and on Ubuntu segs, how this ever works on debian is beyond me) Secondly; client_server is a fixed length calloc'd buffer; I don't see anything that's ensuring there are now overruns, especially given that the names seem to be lookups in DNS(?) and textual portnames. (Although perhaps it happens to be sized large enough based on allowed limits of those??)

Bug#694256: gdbinit-ownership.patch has excess fclose
Package: gdb
Version: 7.4.1-3
The patch gdbinit-ownership.patch has the code:
+ if (statbuf.st_uid != getuid () || (statbuf.st_mode S_IWOTH))
+ {
+ warning (not using untrusted file \%s\, file);
+ fclose (stream);
+ do_cleanups (old_cleanups);
+ return;
+ }
on ubuntu that's triggering a double-free detection/corruption
warning; ( see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdb/+bug/1069897 )
My reading is that the code is wrong on debian as well, it just
isn't built with the options/libc that detect the corruption/double free.
My understanding is that the do_cleanups fclose's the stream as well
and that's where it blows up; I've submitted a patch in that ubuntu bug
that just removes that fclose; although someone who understands
gdb's cleanup system might want to check the other exist paths in that
routine as well.

Bug#658783: MATE Desktop Environment in Debian
* Josselin Mouette (j...@debian.org) wrote: Most issues people have with GNOME 3 ???classic??? usually boil down to ???the panel is black instead of grey???. Mine are generally more of the larger scale; things like not being able to do 2d arrays of desktops any more, options I use being removed or performance/minimum system spec issues. However, that doesn't seem to be relavent to the packaging decision; in the same way that the packager of one editor can't sensibly object to the packaging of another. Anyway, you???re welcome to package MATE in Debian. Just fix all the code duplication stupidity before. So far no one has volunteered to do so. OK, so I've seen that objection a few times - can you elaborate on what you believe needs fixing - given that the MATE guys already have working debs, the issue here seems to be purely one of meeting debian standards and resolving duplication issues; so it's right that we try and build a list of precisely what needs doing. I think they've been pretty careful to allow co-installation with Gnome3, and by it's nature that does mean they've done things like do renames on packages where the actual difference between the gnome2 and gnome 3 source for the package is pretty similar.

Bug#607028: Fix for y2k bug
Hi, It would be great to get John's package, or a newer version in, not least because it contains an upstream fix for a Y2K problem that triggers a stack overflow error if built with such checks (as the Ubuntu binaries are); it misprints the year as 112 and thus overflows the buffer for the message. Note I did have to swizzle line 163 of src/Makefile so that the -lncurses was at the end.

Bug#678015: of blockdev-wipe
I think this is just a bug in blockdev-wipe and whatever it's stdout is wired to. I ran into the same situation testing di-beta1 on a KVM guest; and was seeing only 6MB/s during the erase stage running blockdev-wipe. Given that blockdev-wipe is only writing 0's anyway, I tried dd instead, and dd manages 100MB/s I suspect the problem here is that blockdev-wipe is being too eager outputting progress information to something that's then taking time to consume it. Given that dd is on the image anyway, I suggest using that instead, and if you want a progress indicator then watch /proc/??/fd/? of the dd process; I also suggest using a larger blocksize. Note this also corresponds to Ubuntu bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-crypto/+bug/945001 Dave -- -Open up your eyes, open up your mind, open up your code --- / Dr. David Alan Gilbert| Running GNU/Linux | Happy \ \ gro.gilbert @ treblig.org | | In Hex / \ _|_ http://www.treblig.org |___/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#450605: closed by Christian PERRIER bubu...@debian.org (We now have link detection..:-))
Subject: We now have link detection..:-) Subject says it all. Bye bye old bug.. Hmm - I think that does close the one it got merged with, but maybe not my original report. Link detection assumes that only one of the links is up; in something like a blade chassis it's pretty normal to have both interfaces connected to switches in the back of a chassis, and so both interfaces are up - however only one of those switches might connect to the outside world ,or might connect to the netwrok you have your distro available from. So part of the mac address might still be useful. Dave (not got access to the blade now, and not tried a text install for a while).

Bug#658783: MATE Desktop Environment in Debian
I'd like to support the proposal to package MATE. While I agree there is code duplication, that's obviously something that will take some time to remove, however I also believe it's important not to wait until it's cleaned. There are many users who do not want to change their desktop from their current debian/gnome2 setups (or for that matter ubuntu/gnome2 setups), and the gnome2 environment works well on older hardware and with open graphics drivers, that might not be too hot on 3d. I believe that working well on a wide range of hardware has always been an important consideration in debian. At the moment the nice people at Mint and Mate have got repositories for their own builds and installing on other distros (including Debian), however I assume that diverts resources away from things like the de-duping, it also means that users have to install stuff from other repos; that might be a problem for users in corporate environments where they have sign off to use debian repos for example.

Bug#598390: modeset
Hi, I'm seeing the same symptoms on a machine with a Radeon RV100 QY/Radeon 7000 VE - and this is on 3.0rc2 kernel with a debina 6.0 user space (upgraded from many versions) Booting with radeon.modeset=0 gets rid of this error. (However modeset=0 is causing other problems; I get an oops running google earth; and the fullscreen performance is unusable at about 1 frame every 2 seconds). IMHO this bug needs switching to either X or one of the X libraries.

Bug#603480: kdebase-workspace: qguiplatformplugin fileDialogSetVisible segs if object is hidden before it's made visible
Package: kdebase-workspace
Version: 4:4.4.5-4
Severity: important
In qguiplatformplugin_kde.cpp:fileDialogSetVisible it has
if (!kdefd visible) {
if(qfd-options() QFileDialog::DontUseNativeDialog)
return false;
kdefd = new
KFileDialogBridge(KUrl::fromPath(qfd-directory().canonicalPath()),
qt2KdeFilter(qfd-nameFilters().join(;;)), qfd);
qfd-setProperty(_k_bridge, QVariant::fromValue(kdefd));
}
i.e. if you are making this visible and kdefd hasn't been created then create
it now.
Most of the contents of the function are guarded by an if (visible) however on
line 249 we have
kdefd-setVisible(visible);
and if you make the object hidden before it's ever been made visible then kdefd
will be NULL
and it seg's on line 249.
This is the underlying cause of bug 599303 in ktoon which is marked RC.
It makes ktoon unusable for KDE users (although it works for Gnome users!)
I suggest guarding this line with an if (kdefd) but I don't know the structure
to know if that is
all that is needed.

iso-scan found mini.iso, but the mini.iso does not contain a debian
directory with the rest of the d-i udebs to continue installation.
Please, try again with the netinst.iso on your USB key and I think you
will get the results you would like - I use this method frequently :-)
Hi Michael,
Thanks for your reply - I have the installation going at the moment
using a unetbootin created install.
OK, so there are a few things that could help here:
1) The error is not that helpful; it doesn't indicate that it found
something not suitable - especially since you might think it would be.
2) The install guide points to
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-i386/current/images/MANIFEST
or
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-i386/current/images/MANIFEST
(see http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/i386/ch04s02.html.en )
which only contains the mini.iso
3) I just noticed there is a footnote on
http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/i386/ch04s03.html.en
that mini.iso is not suitable, but that's only marked as a foot note on 4.3.2.2
and not
4.3.1 ('The easy way') and hence I didn't spot that. That needs to be more
prominent
since the path it's lead me down is to go to the place that only has the
mini.iso
and so it's the obvious mistake to make.
Dave

Bug#450605: install: Network card selection should show mac address
Package: install Severity: normal When installing using a netinstall you are prompted to select a network card with a list like: eth0: Broadcom ... eth1: Broadcom .. It really should show the MAC address to let you distinguish which interface you intend to use; in my case I have a set of Dell PE 1955 blades where the ether card the BIOS sees as the first device is seen as eth1 under Debian and I know the Mac address of the appropriate one.

This is a known issue. I've merged your request with existing similar requests. What we really need at this point is someone motivated to actually propose and implement a solution... Thanks - I'm curious what there is to propose about it; just printing the MAC address of the interface either next to or as a 2nd line for each interface should do it - or is there something harder about that which I'm missing?

Bug#437427: kicker non-kde apps don't get custom icons
Package: kicker Version: 3.5.5a.dfsg.1-6 Hi, Right click on the kicker and use the menu to add a non-KDE application; while in the dialogue for doing that click on the icon and select a custom icon from somewhere else (in my case a .png). The entry is created on the kicker but with a default gear icon rather than the one I picked; if I right click on the icon and then use properties to change it then it changes OK.

Bug#436675: vino + xinerama not showing righthand screen
Package: vino Version: 2.16.0-5 Hi, I'm running Etch on a machine with a dual head Matrox G550 with Xinerama. If I start vino-session and then connect to it using vncviewer I see a desktop of the right size (i.e. both monitors) but the right hand one is completely black. (Note I started the vino-session in an existing session). Interestingly x11vnc seems to see both displays (although its update is somewhat screwy so perhaps it isn't 100% happy either).

Bug#309108: netcat waits for standard input on server side sometimes
Package: netcat Version: 1.10-21 Hi, I'm trying to shovel a large amount of data (800GB) between two machines, so have a pair of tar's running over netcat as follows: on the source: tar -clf- . | nc destination on the destination: nc -l -p | tar -xpf - I had these running in a background'ed nohup and after a while the copying stopped and bash told me that the backgrounded destination package had stopped waiting for input; sure enough I 'fg'd it and hit return a few times and it carried on its way. Its done this a few times in the middle of this large transfer; but probably managed well over 50GB before it hit this.

It really makes a difference: If this one was looking for input, it would have had to have been tar, not netcat, as netcat's stdin is tied to tar's stdout, so it couldn't have blocked the shell; only tar could have. Did this one say that the program was waiting for input, or was it just the other one below? It was only the nc -l on the destination machine that was waiting for input. on the destination: nc -l -p | tar -xpf - I had these running in a background'ed nohup and after a while the copying stopped and bash told me that the backgrounded destination package had stopped waiting for input; sure enough I 'fg'd it and hit return a few times and it carried on its way. I'm not sure why netcat would be blocking on input here (it only does non-blocking reads in it's main I/O function (readwrite), but if this happened to you on this command line, that is where the bug mostly like lives. =) Indeed - I also strace'd it at one point when it hung and saw it waiting on a read of fd 0 which was still the terminal I'd run it from. There is an easy workaround for either case (bug or not), though: when you run that command, you're leaving netcat's stdio hooked to your terminal. I'd suggest tying it's stdin off to /dev/null, with something like: Indeed - (or perhaps from a 'yes' if it really wants the carriage return.) - but it was already 50GB in and I'd hoped it wouldn't happen again.
