Do you object to such packages (specifically with security issues) being
p.masked?

I'm not sure we should be encouraging people to continue using packages
when we know there are known security issues.

You assume that being affected by a local denial of service on a system
where all users have the root password is more important than using a
package that has been verified to work by an arch team member.

I'd say drop all but the "slacking" arch's keywords, as Luca suggested.
It may well be one of the security-unsupported arches anyway.

If it's a security-unsupported arch we probably don't even care about
that enough to lose keywords. If a particular sysadmin does care about
security of his unsupported experimental systems, he can use his
package manager's capabilities to remove insecure packages rather than
us forcing it on everyone. When it comes to this sort of machine,
working beats secure but broken any day.

I said nothing about local denial of service; perhaps you're thinking
of a particular instance - I'm not.  To rhetorically follow your line of
discussion, you're happy to have remote exploits remain in the tree
(i.e. promoted by Gentoo) if a package is marked stable and a patch
isn't available?

The point about p.masking (rather than removal) is that we have then
made reasonable efforts to inform the user and give them the
opportunity to decide what they want to do, based on their own security
policy - which could be to unmask locally and continue regardless, or
could be to remove the package and try something else.  That way they'd
be making informed decisions.

I think if we're to promote packages that have security issues on an
arch, we need to be very clear that we're not making reasonable efforts
to ensure that arch is free of known exploits.

I agree. The term "promote" is perhaps a little bit exaggerated, but a
vulnerabilities monitoring is useful only if it's exhaustive - so far as
possible.

If, say, 5% of security weaknesses are voluntarily kept in portage, that
means that the security concerned users can't rely on GLSAs and
package.mask: they should rely on their own security vulnerabilities
monitoring, and that means we've failed.

But a "temporary masking GLSA" which would not cover all arches may be
acceptable, without abuse. I still prefer see vulnerable packages in
p.mask with a 2-lines short comment and the bug number.

And i understood he argued quite the opposite. To my knowledge the
security team p.masks "common" (type A and B) packages, and i'm sure
they don't do this for nothing, though i agree that probably should be
left for severity > normal.

In all other cases, a temporary GLSA, as already outlined on the team's
project page, should suffice. But then, i've no say in this and i trust
those people to take responsible action to protect gentoo's users (you
and me among them).

My reading of that "target date" on
http://www.gentoo.org/security/en/vulnerability-policy.xml
allows for testing with regard to impact -- the response time (and thus
possible testing time) should be reciprocal to the severity of the
vulnerability.

> Here's an alternative policy that makes much more sense:

Um, not sure i understand you correctly here:
you're suggesting security team drops the affected package keywords and
let arch teams readd stable to the new ones?
This forces downgrades just like p.masking them... Basically, as a
systems administrator, you have to act on a GLSA. If that means
unmasking or readding keywords, i don't care.

That's why we have security contacts on every supported arches...
They're supposed to handle that, and the policy is quite clear what
happens if they fail (not implying they do...)

Here's the thing though. Masking too early breaks the tree. This causes
no end of problems for arch teams who are then left having to fix not
only that but all the associated problems when developers start
removing keywords to shut repoman up (which in turn leads to more
broken deps...). That's the issue here.

You're assuming that all archs have enough spare time and developers to
be able to look at some security bug on an app that only had keywords
because someone keyworded it to shut repoman up straight away. This
isn't the case -- given a choice between, say, getting up to date KDE
or Gnome releases or a security vulnerability for some app with two
users, the security vulnerability quite rightly loses.

No. Arch teams could drop keywords from vulnerable versions at the same

No, what's done right now is that Jakub files whiny bugs demanding
immediate action from arch teams but assigning the bugs to package
maintainers, resulting in dropped keywords because the maintainers
assume that they can rely upon Jakub's bug descriptions being correct.
Several recent incidents like this are what prompted the initial email.

Hey, kindly leave me alone...

- I'm *not* demanding anything from *arch teams*, the bugs are for
*maintainers* of those packages. I've already told you couple of times,
why are you making these misleading statements yet again?

- Not my problem that maintainers didn't check keywords on removal (even
on bugs where mips is CCed). Developers are supposed to use *brain* when
punting vulnerable versions (like with any other commit).

- Also not my problem that $arch is still affected by such bugs months
or even years after respective GLSAs have been issued (which has caused
the ebuilds to still stay in the tree and hence made me file the bugs).
Before I've started filing these bugs, we had vulnerable crap back from
~2004 lingering in the tree.

- Leaving vulnerable junk in the tree for an indefinite period of time
sucks and is causing needless work for maintainers. We lack any policy
on this, but if some arch can't act for over a year, they deserve to get
the keywords dropped and get their deptree broken, sorry. Not
maintainers' fault that noone has cared enough.

Why should I assign bugs to arch teams??? Arch teams are not supposed to
punt stuff from the tree, it's maintainer's job.

Screaming? WTF really. What's misleading about listing vulnerable
versions and asking for their removal?

- check the keywords and dependencies
- if nothing is wrong, punt those
- otherwise CC the affected arch(es) and ask for keywording/stabilizing
a newer version, punt then.

In case someone thinks this is just ciaranm inventing stuff, this has
happened not too far ago.

Some mozilla package got p.masked while some ebuilds still depended on
it. It is definitely _not_ Jakub to blame (imho) but I'm pretty sure
said deveveloper *thought* he had checked rdeps before. Result: some
people (users here) got screwed because of misunderstanding.

You should focus upon the arch teams, not the maintainers who can't do
anything until the arch teams catch up anyway.

And are you aware that the mips team spends most of its time trying to
catch up with people breaking the tree? If they didn't have to do that,
they'd be able to get to the bugs about which you care faster.

If you give away enough usable information, then sure.

Though! We have seen that, for example in bug #164182[1], that you filled
ended up in a removal of the latest stable version of imagemagick on
MIPS.

We are currently a heavy understaffed team and we would not like to see
this happen!

We are an unsupported security architecture so the maintainers can
remove anything but our keyword in that package -- that would make sure
that the MIPS users will still have a stable tree and the other
architectures users wont be affected.

Pardon me, but this is *really* too much.


Please, remove the above once 6.3.0.5 has been stabilized on mips.
Thanks. :)


So, what are you blaming me for here? Grrr.

Misassigning or premature filing, as you prefer.

How about cc'ing arches, which are affected by this? You still get your
point across and maybe arches move it up their priority list if they see
a removal "b/c of centuries old vulnerabilities".

I'm happy with you reporting vulnerable ebuilds and request action on
them.  However, i agree with mips that breaking their deptree is bad. I
know they're working really hard (keep in mind the machines they got) on
getting things done.

I still don't see the point of removing stable keywords from those
ebuilds, though. I'd like to keep the p.mask for this, maybe with mips
and other known to lag behind arches unmasking the ebuilds in question.
(That would at least say "we're aware that these versions are vulnerable
but can't upgrade yet")

Hehe, whenever you write this, there's always several more posts from you down
the same thread. It's kind of amusing.

Oh sure... Next time, blame me for Sept 11, keep amusing us by your

I did CC mips, and did write that it needs version x.y.z stabilized
first. Sorry, enough babysitting here, either devs can read or they
shouldn't have commit access.

Period.

If you like, I can say that you killed Jesus and were single-handedly
responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs. Would that make you
happy?

How about assigning the bug to the people can do the work, rather than
to people who can't change a thing until people on the Cc: list are
done?

For someone who moans about bug spam, Jakub sure is causing a lot of it
for other people...
