Bug#998206: calendar: cronjob processes all users’ calendars as root, allowing information disclosure

2023-02-20 Thread Michael Meskes

FYI I just uploaded a new version of the package.

It turned out setres[ug]id() are not declared in the current build
process. I don't like adding the declaration manually and getting
unistd.h to declare it would mean defining __USE_GNU which may or may
not have side effects. Therefore I figured to play it safe and use
set[ug]id() instead.

Thanks,

I did some more testing and it seems this simple patch fixes the issue:

Any comments?

Actually I think that's only correct if you're running under a non-root
uid. If your effective uid is 0 all uids will be set to the given value
and thus there is no way back for the application to be root again. As
I understand it, this is the POSIX way. Anyway, I'm going to prepare a
patch.

Could you elaborate why? I cannot see much of a difference in these when it
comes to the topic at hand. Doesn't set[ug]id set all ids to the given one? Why
is that less safe?

Wouldn't using setuid() suffice? Yes, I know setusercontext() does more, but in
this case we only need to make sure the right user opens the file. Or what am I
missing?

By now I've ran more test up to a full system dist-upgrade with all webext* 
packages installed, not a single failure.

Given that freeze is nearing and nobody's volunteering any additional
information and the bug has proven to be not reproducible, at least for me, I
downgrade it again. Yes, it can be very severe but removing the package for
everyone doesn't seem right either. Maybe by keeping it in we will get more
data to find out where the problem lies.

I'm more than willing to look into it again and fix it once we identify the 
reason.

Hi all,

I tried with a stable chroot, then installed all the webext* packages you have
installed and then upgraded webext-browserpass. Works like a charm.

> Good question. My gut feeling at least says that the RC severity is

I see your point, the problem is with this setting nobody is getting the
software because of some of us having issues in the upgrade. I'd love to get
this fixed before the freeze, but no matter what I tried I cannot reproduce.

I thought so, too, but again, cannot identify the culprit.

Yeah, the latter.

I'm with Daniel on this one as I cannot reproduce it either:

Something fishy is going on here. I'm not sure how to find out what though if I 
cannot reproduce it. Also I wonder if removing the package from testing is 
helpful or even correct in such a case. Anyway, any idea how to find out what's 
going on and what is different on your systems? For instance I tried on a sid 
system where I install the old browserpass package. Did everyone with the error 
see it on a dist-upgrade only? Could you test on sid?

I'm glad you agree, I will therefore close this bug.

Pas few months is a slight exaggeration but whatever.

It is well documented that the changes caused more issues than
expected, but all packages received the necessary fixes as quickly as
possible. Having to go through NEW certainly caused some delay, too,
but again stuff like this happens, it's called unstable for a reason.

Come again please? Is this a joke or are you really suggesting we
should rebuild the whole archive to figure out if any package still

Just for the record, I do not consider removing lorder.sh a transition
of any kind. Nor do I think removing a faulty tool that apparently had
no real functionality anymore warrants the kind of lecture you're
giving me.

I'm surprised it is actually used as it was pointed out to me that the script
has been non-functional for quite a while. Anyway, it cannot easily be 
"restored"
because the old bsdmainutils package does not exist anymore. All tools except
ncal and calendar, which are now in their own package, are now build out of
util-linux. Would it be possible to include lorder.sh in one of the affected
freebsd packages?

Yes, as already communicated we had to wait with the next util-linux upload
until bsdmainutils made it out of NEW. Now that it has, Chris will upload as
soon as he finds the time.

Yes, correct, and I'm sorry about this. It simply didn't occur to me

That's why bsdmainutils Recommends bsdextrautils and always has. The
only argument here is whether it should be a hard Depends instead.

I didn't find any usage of man in a postinst on my system, but I have

Agreed.

Correct, this has to do with the old naming. The more obscure tools are
still build out of the bsdmainutils sources.

That's my thinking, too. The remaining tools in bsdmainutils are ncal
(which should go into a separate package) and a few tools we could
switch to util-linux or remove.

Good points. However, I still don't see where this creates problems in
the upgrade process unless some postinst calls man.

Any idea how this scenario could unfold? I cannot imagine how it could
get there. What I will do, though, is add a "Breaks: man-db (<<2.9.3-

You are saying the reason is "it's been right forever".

The reason for this move is moving from the old and heavily patched BSD
source to the more up-to-date GNU version.

There is no point arguing against your "do not change anything"

I beg to disagree, there is a transition plan, namely depending on the
right package. Things change, that's what unstable is for. Depending on
bsdmainutils to get bsdextrautils does not sound right to me.

We have to make the change eventually. And keep in mind that there may
be other breakages as we changed sources for col et al. I am not aware
of any, and I assume Chris isn't either, but there still may be some
incompatibilities. I don't see the point of postponing the switch.

Oh, that I understand and I'm sorry I didn't notice that issue before,
but why is rolling back preferable over fixing man-db?

It seems to me there are two options here, either we ask all those
packages to change the dependency or we force bsdextrautils
installation by making bsdmainutils depend on it.

When changing the package I decided against a hard dependency because
it forces people to install something even if they don't need/want it
without a technical reason.

And quite frankly I think the build dependency should be to the package
that is needed directly and not through another one.

Would you care to elaborate? I didn't find anything that mandates a dependency
over a recommendation. Yes, it does break build dependencies but imo they should
be changed anyway.

Even if the package is exactly the same I don't see how a "I cannot reproduce
on Ubuntu" is helpful, sorry. There may be any number of packages that make it
work there but not here. 

Anyway, it seems all layouts are not working, for me it's "de". A manual
"setxkbmap de" does fix the issue, though.

Oops, sorry, I was referring to the printers tab on localhost:631. In
the add printer dialog on the administration tab they are still listed.
All application dialogs do not list the printers anymore either.

'lpstat -a' does not list any of the printers, 'lpstat -l -e' lists

I guess that explains why the printer is no longer active, but what
changed from the prior version of cups-browsed? I just verified again,
downgrading cups-browsed from 1.25.13-1 to 1.25.12-1 fixes the problem
and makes the printers appear again. And, yes, I can print on any of
them without an issue. Or in other words, the system does have a PPD
for the printer.

Any idea?

Bug#946198: Since upgrading to 1.25.13 no remote printer is made available anymore

2019-12-05 Thread Michael Meskes
Package: cups-browsed
Version: 1.25.13-1
Severity: serious

Since upgrading the package all remote printers are gone from my printers list.
Downgrading to the latest version brings them all back.

I made this bug serious in case the problem is a general one. If not, feel free
to downgrade. Upgrading the package and losing the ability to print in the
process is an unpleasant surprise, though.

I'm not using the tool anymore, nor do I have time to take care of it.
The only reason why I didn't orphan it, is that somebody inb the group

I doubt it magically becomes a web extension just because we rename the
package. I haven't checked this particular extension, but if it has not
been redone as a web extension it cane be removed. If it has, though,
it needs to be updated to the latest version.

what do you want to debug? The report gives a *reason* for this

However, I've had reports that this bug should only result in a warning

Having done several webext packages already I should be able to help with that 
part. 

As a first step I would love to see us migrate to salsa. The current git
structure is different from what I usually use, so I have to dig into that.

Bug#884173: SIGSEGV since 63.0.3239.84-1 w/ non-built-in extensions

2018-02-08 Thread Michael Meskes
I'm seeing the same issue with the latest sid version 64.0.3282.11 and by
accident found a way to create the problem repeatably. I had my chromium
started but not used at all when I upgraded my wlan router's firmware (from
Firefox). During reboot of said router chromium crashed and didn't start again
until I ran it once with disabled extensions. After that all was well, until I
reboot the router again, which brought the problem up again. I don't see any
extension on my system that needs the wlan, except of course for internet
access.

Actually bsdmainutils does not need ncurses but tinfo. However, I
missed the strange setup that all tinfo header files are in libncurses-
dev instead of libtinfo-dev. Therefore I'll switch the dependency back.

I was referring to problems with libssl1.1, that, according to a post
by you Art (I think) is fixed. However, having the same version number
with different code causes more work, for which I don't have the time
atm. This is why the email was a request for help (RFH).

Actually the problem is I run very low on time right now. Let me make
two things clear, I really like citadel despite not using it and
upstream (all of them, not just Art) is very nice to work with and more
than willing to help.

My problem is a very simple lack of time. I'm able to do an upload
every now and then, but not much else. However, since you said there'll
be a release shortly, I won't ask for removal if that release fixes the
RCs.

Anyone interested in citadel/webcit? If not I'm going to have it removed I 
guess.

There used to be a team maintaining these packages, but I'm the only one who
worked on it in recent years. Not having used the software myself I don't
really intend to spend more time on it and both packages have an RC bug, that
upstream may or may not have fixed. 

To explain the latter, upstream claims to have fixed it and their source is
different from ours but the version number is exactly the same!

As long as we have firefox-esr in a pre-57 release I don't see why the package

It appears this is now the only way to make it not listen on port 25, meaning
it cannot be done during install. I'm not sure what the best way is to handle
this situation. Merging citadel-mta with citadel-server and make it conflict
with other mtas? And assume that people who want to run citadel with for
instance postfix need to manually change things and know how to handle with it?

It seems something changed on the upstream side since I think this used to
work. But it definitely is an upstream bug imo because the installation
explicitely sets ACT_AS_MTA to no.

This might come but should certainly not cause a hang.

Would you be able to find out where in postinst it hangs? And if it is in
/usr/lib/citadel-server/setup where there?

Thanks.

I tried with different setups and different packages, freshly downloaded, newly
compiled, etc. but I cannot reproduce this. Could it be that you have some
special string testing library installed?

Also I noticed:

This doesn't look like a straight forward unstable installation. What exactly
are you testing on?

I downgraded the bug until we can figure out whether it affects a clean
installation or which incompatibility is behind it.

Well, stretch-backports should not have gotten an API update during

Sorry, I don't understand. It's definitely documented enough that
people use it. API changes happen fairly frequently, that's part of the
reason why we need a freeze.

I don't think this is the way to go. There is no grave bug in prosody-modules,

Sorry for the very late reply, but I did not see this report in my list before

Chances are you don't even remember the details anymore, but in case you do,
which directory was not deleted? This seems to be the only real bug in here.

Sorry, wasn't precise enough it seems. I was wondering why you left out
the third possible option, namely the compatibility API in libssl 1.1.

Bug#844638: Does not work with lua-sec 0.6

2016-11-17 Thread Michael Meskes
Package: prosody
Version: 0.9.10-1
Severity: grave

Prosody needs lua 5.1 it seems, but the latest version of lua-sec does
not seem to offer this anymore. Therefore prosody is not able to
initialize TLS anymore:

... tls error   Unable to initialize TLS: LuaSec (required for encryption) was 
not found

This results in a server that is no longer accessible in a standard
encrypted way and thus either makes the service unusable or unsafe.

Re-installing lua-sec 0.5 from stable fixes the issue.

Bug#818698: does not convert crontabs correctly

2016-03-19 Thread Michael Meskes
Package: systemd-cron
Version: 1.5.3-1
Severity: grave

I just installed systemd-cron to try it out and found that it only partly
translated my crontabs. For instance my crontab says:

26 * * * * foo
14,44   * * * * bar

However at 21:10 I got this:

michael@feivel:~$ systemctl list-timers |grep michael
Sa 2016-03-19 21:44:00 CET   32min left  n/a 
n/a  cron-michael-michael-1.timer cron-michael-michael-1.service
Sa 2016-03-19 22:26:00 CET   1h 14min left   n/a 
n/a  cron-michael-michael-0.timer cron-michael-michael-0.service

Obviously the very first execution of each job is missing.

Also I found that changing a crontab to have something executed in a few
minutes always gives me a timer in 24 hours.

Since this could result in data loss, depending on what the job is supposed to
do (backup!) I think grave is correct, but your mileage may vary.

What do I miss?

Still not fixed. It seems the latest fix didn't make it into the package for

Bug#797135: gnome-software downloads updates automatically by default

2015-08-28 Thread Michael Meskes
 Worth mentioning #797138, which is the cause of the aforementioned
 checkbox being checked by default rather than unchecked. When this is
 fixed, gnome-software will only download updates in the background but
 never apply them without the user actively clicking a button or checking
 a checkbox to do so.
 
 I think critical is overstating a bit.

I beg to disagree. Yes, it's rather unlikely a stable system gets
destroyed the way a sid one does. However, even sid shouldn't carry this
undocumented and unnecessary risk. But, and that's the main reason for
making the bug critical, the system will download potential huge amounts
of data *without* the user even knowing. Now imagine you're paying by
the MB, that can create a lot of unexpected costs.

even gives a hint.

This is a critical bug because a) it may create a lot of costs for people who
have to pay by traffic and b) might completely destroy systems. Please refer
to the whole thread on -devel for details and in particular to
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2015/08/msg00597.html

Since we're not exactly sure that this package is the (sole) cause please
help investigate and, if needed, move to whichever package is the culprit.

Thanks.

Bug#794627: Downgrading

2015-08-13 Thread Michael Meskes
severity 794627 important
thanks

I don't think a problem with a package in experimental should have the effect
of a testing removal. Therefore I downgrad this ug. Feel free to upgrade
again, if problem (which does not seem to be easily reproducible) still
persists once the newer gnupg version makes it into unstable/tesing.

Bug#725284: hdparm + systemd: Patch to restore configuration after resume

2015-02-24 Thread Michael Meskes
I just uploaded 9.43-2 with the patch mentioned in this bug report. However,
I lack the hardware to test hdparm. So please test it before I file an
unblock request.

Also I'm not sure if it's a wise idea to remove the init file at this stage
of the release.

Thanks.

As you're saying yourself the problem appears only when another add-on is
installed, that means the package is not unusable by itself and thus the bug is
not grave.

And yes, there are people like myself who do not use xul-ext-gnome-keyring

Bug#771407: server startup fails

2014-11-29 Thread Michael Meskes
Package: dovecot-imapd
Version: 1:2.2.13-7
Severity: grave

The latest update comments out cert locations which makes the server fail to 
restart again:

dovecot: imap-login: Fatal: Couldn't parse private ssl_key: error:0906D06C:PEM 
routines:PEM_read_bio:no start line: Expecting: ANY PRIVATE KEY

This means that a running imap service is no longer running after the upgrade
and cannot even be manually started until the config file has been fixed by
hand again.

Ok, thanks for the clarification. I absolutely agree, but didn't want to go
ahead without asking.

 However, am I correct that this is a regression in the DSA for
 acpi-support (0.140-5+deb7u3)? If so, we can fix it through stable
 security since it's a regression introduced in that channel.

Nope, I don't think this is a regression. I'm pretty sure the same problem
applies to the original stable version.

Did you actually try this or only call pinky to see if it displays anything?

The reason I'm asking is that the script needs to know the display number and
calculates that by asking ck-list-sessions again. If it indeed works for you
I'd like to know how it came up with the right display number.

 1. AFter first upgrade (previous version to this one) moved /etc/sysctl.d

 failes completely as acpid won't stop. (or at least stop script exits with

Bug#752762: load-module module-alsa-sink freezes display

2014-07-06 Thread Michael Meskes
 If a client tries to repeatedly connect then yes, it could respawn
 pulseaudio pretty fast. But this seems unlikely, given that the log
 does not show multiple messages. What happens if you have the wrong
 line and disable autospawn?

Then it works.

  Honestly I haven't checked since finding my problem, but it may also
  have to do with a non-existing default sink. Anyway, I shall try again and
  report back.
 
 Please do so, also trying with a disabled autospawn.

Bad idea, the misconfigured default-sink was not reason for my problems as just
enabling the alsa sink module created the same problem again. My screen
stayed black again. At the very same moment I had, like, seven pulseaudio
processes running at the same time, albeit no log entry at all this time.
However, I did manager to lose all my desktop configuration this time. I guess
the next time I try I better use a test user. :)

Bug#752762: load-module module-alsa-sink freezes display

2014-07-02 Thread Michael Meskes
 When pulseaudio is working, does sound play? IIRC, gnome starts some
 sounds on startup.

Now it does, when the problem occured it didn't.


  This error is weird, because the module load failure should just cause
  pulseaudio to exit. Perhaps something caused PA to respawn repeatedly?
 
  Does it do that if it's, like, killed at the beginning of a session?
 
 Yes. By default, pulseaudio is autospawned whenever a connection is
 attempted. You can disable this behavior in client.conf.

I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing here. Yes, of course it does
restart on error and similarily of course I had an error, but I only have one
error message in the logs. Besides, can it respawn so fast that it blocks the
rest of the system?

 Did the gdm/xsession/any other log have something useful to say?
 Currently I'm quite stumped as to where the bug may be.

Same here.

What happens on your system if you enable that config line without the right
parameter? Honestly I haven't checked since finding my problem, but it may also
have to do with a non-existing default sink. Anyway, I shall try again and
report back.

Bug#752762: load-module module-alsa-sink freezes display

2014-06-28 Thread Michael Meskes
  Jun 26 12:54:57 feivel pulseaudio[3128]: [pulseaudio] module.c: Failed to 
  load module module-alsa-sink (argument: ): initialization failed.
 
 Yes, this is expected, because that module needs the card details to

Wouldn't it be better than to have the line look like this?

#load-module module-alsa-sink card-details

 load. Is this message shown only once, or repeatedly? Does the log say
 afterwards:

Only once.

 [pulseaudio] main.c: Module load failed.
 [pulseaudio] main.c: Failed to initialize daemon.

Yes, it did.

 What DE/WM are you using? Were there sounds being played at the moment?

gnome-shell, everything up-to-date sid, no sounds being displayed.

 This error is weird, because the module load failure should just cause
 pulseaudio to exit. Perhaps something caused PA to respawn repeatedly?

Does it do that if it's, like, killed at the beginning of a session?

  I tried using this module in an attempt to figure out why my sound doesn't 
  work
  correctly, or in other words, not at all when using the defaults.
 
 For this, try using pavucontrol. There you can see if your card is
 actually being picked up.

I tried that before to no avail as there appeared to be something wrong with 
pulseaudio in general. Since then I found the problem, a misconfigured default 
sink in client.conf. I don't remember editing this file at all, but maybe that 
was an old config from back when.

Bug#752762: load-module module-alsa-sink freezes display

2014-06-26 Thread Michael Meskes
Package: pulseaudio
Version: 5.0-2
Severity: grave

I simply uncommented the line #load-module module-alsa-sink in
/etc/pulse/default.pa and resarted pulseaudio to completely freeze my X. Mouse
was still working but I wasn't able to focus on any window, let alone type into
one or log out. After a reboot I noticed that with that setting my whole X
sessions starts up, but the screen remains blank.

According to syslog the module failed to load:

Jun 26 12:54:57 feivel pulseaudio[3128]: [pulseaudio] module.c: Failed to load 
module module-alsa-sink (argument: ): initialization failed.

But that IMO hardly qualifies as a reason for the display to disappear. It'd 
also be
interesting to know why the module failed, but there doesn't seem to be
anything in the logs. 

I tried using this module in an attempt to figure out why my sound doesn't work
correctly, or in other words, not at all when using the defaults.

Finally I'm not sure about the severity, but you can (and I did) lose data 
because of the loss of the X session.

Bug#751900: closed by Michael Meskes mes...@debian.org (Bug#751900: fixed in quota 4.01-5)

2014-06-19 Thread Michael Meskes
 My current suspicion is that the non-executable
 /usr/share/quota/quotarpc.sh causes systemd to barf when trying to run
 it.

Yes, that cannot work. The reason why I didn't see that is rather simple, too:

michael@feivel:~$ (dpkg -c quota_4.01-5_amd64.deb ; dpkg -c 
quota_4.01-5_i386.deb )|grep quotarpc.sh
-rwxr-xr-x root/root  1012 2014-06-18 12:20 ./usr/share/quota/quotarpc.sh
-rw-r--r-- root/root  1012 2014-06-18 12:59 ./usr/share/quota/quotarpc.sh

New upload on its way.

Bug#727758: cups segfaults in libdbus

Will send as soon as I'm on the system again. 

 Why is this RC severity? If cupsd links libdbus, then almost by
 definition it isn't breaks unrelated software...

Well, you're right, kind of. I think this bug makes the package in question
unusable. However, the package is cups that you moved the bug to anyway.

Bug#727758: cups segfaults in libdbus

2013-10-26 Thread Michael Meskes
Package: libdbus-1-3
Version: 1.6.16-1
Severity: grave

Most of the times cups comes up I get this:

Oct 25 20:27:57 aragorn kernel: [  389.581166] cupsd[2937]: segfault at 8 ip 
7faeb7c98cd0 sp 7fff18af7148 error 4 in 
libdbus-1.so.3.7.5[7faeb7c72000+45000]

Sometimes actually this only happens when the printer is switched on or a job 
is send to cups. 

Today for the first time I got this instead:

Oct 26 11:26:22 aragorn kernel: [   53.133630] traps: cupsd[2992] general 
protection ip:7f4c61ba5c7e sp:7fff4b69f108 error:0 in 
libdbus-1.so.3.7.5[7f4c61b88000+45000]

I'm not sure who's the culprit, libdbus or cups, so feel free to reassign. 
However, the effect is that my cups server simply disappears. Interestingly 
enough more often than not it works after a restart.

Any idea?

Bug#727041: kernel 3.11-1 freezes when via velocity interface comes up

Subject kind of says it all. My system freezes solidly as soon as I ifup the
network interface. Please see e.g.

Attached patch from mentioned URL fixes the problem for me. I haven't checked
if kernel devs used the same patch, though.

Bug#722159: doesn't seem to work with perl 5.18

2013-09-08 Thread Michael Meskes
Package: spampd
Version: 2.30-22.1
Severity: grave

I'm running an up-to-date testing system on which I had to install a couple
packages from unstable to be able to update perl (makes me wonder how it made
it into testing, but anyhow). Now this morning spampd was restarted by cron
script and didn't make it up again with the following being logged:

Sep  8 17:53:05 trantor spampd[3693]: Process Backgrounded
Sep  8 17:53:05 trantor spampd[3693]: 2013/09/08-17:53:05 Insecure dependency

/usr/share/perl5/Net/Server/Daemonize.pm line 75.#012#012  at line 180 in file 
/usr/share/perl5/Net/Server.pm
Sep  8 17:53:05 trantor spampd[3693]: 2013/09/08-17:53:05 Server closing!

Needless to say that removing the -T option in spampd's shebang made it run
again, albeit I'm not sure about security.

I'm not sure where exactly the problem lies, but it damn sure made my email
processing come to a halt.
