[Bug 74139] Re: shutdown missing -F (force fsck) option

2008-07-01 Thread Scott James Remnant
Upstart upstream took a decision to abandon one of its goals of userland
tools compatible with other init systems.  In practice, it never got any
further than implementing tools somewhat like the SysV tools that were
in Debian (which were even different from those in RedHat), and these
had plenty of obscure features like "-F", "shutdown.allow", etc.

Most of these obscure features are not something we would want to
support in the future; fsck in particularly is slowly undergoing big
changes that will mean you can do it on the fly, with no need to reboot,
etc. so why support -F ?  Likewise shutdown.allow is better handled
nowadays through PolicyKit.

Thus the decision was taken for Upstart's userland tools to be native,
and provide the minimum functionality that a user might expect from
them, without bloating them.

Other functionality (like forced fsck) can be provided elsewhere.  As
Kyle says above, simply touch a file before calling shutdown - a GUI can
do this.

[Bug 306362] [NEW] Default D-Bus system bus policy is allow

2008-12-08 Thread Scott James Remnant
Public bug reported:

A new security release of DBus is now available:

http://dbus.freedesktop.org/dbus/releases/dbus-1.2.6.tar.gz

This release contains a (partial, see below) fix for:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18229

== Summary ==

Joachim Breitner discovered a mistake in the default configuration for the
system bus (system.conf) which made the default policy for both sent and
received messages effectively *allow*, and not deny as intended.

This release fixes the send side permission, but does not change the receive.
See below for more details.

== Available workarounds ==

Add explicit  rules to existing policy files which do not
already have them.

== Mitigating factors ==

There are three important mitigating factors.

* First, in an examination of a Fedora 10 system, many services contained
explicit  rules under the "default" context. These deny rules did (and
continue to) operate as expected.

* Second, an increasing trend has been for core system services to use
PolicyKit, or otherwise do security checks on the service side.  Any system
which relies on PolicyKit is unaffected by this flaw.

* Third, the SELinux DBus support is not affected by this flaw.

Now, as mentioned above this fix is partial.  DBus has two kinds of policy
permissions, send and receive.  Generally speaking, the send side permission is
much more important.  However, DBus has supported receive side permissions for
a few reasons, among those are:

* Ensuring signals containing sensitive data aren't visible by unexpected
processes.  Suggested fix: Do not put sensitive data in DBus signals; use
targeted method calls.

* A way for processes to "second-pass" filter messages before they reach their
C code.  Suggested fix: Something like PolicyKit (or just manual service-side
permission checks) remain a better way to do this.

For compatibility reasons, this release only fixes the send-side permission
check, and not receive.  A greater number of services will need to be updated
for a future tightening of the receive permission.

We are as yet unsure when (and in fact, if) the receive permission will be
tightened in the DBus 1.2 stable branch.  We will gather information about any
affected programs and make a final determination at in the near future.

== Conclusion Summary ==

* Add explicit  rules under the default policy if this is applicable to
your service (i.e. not using PolicyKit or similar)
* Do not put sensitive information in signals

== Thanks ==

Thanks to Joachim Breitner for the initial report and proposed patch, Tomas
Hoger for the current fix, and others for their assistance with this issue.

[Bug 306362] Re: Default D-Bus system bus policy is allow

2008-12-08 Thread Scott James Remnant
This change is known to break many of the existing D-Bus services, most
notably Avahi, PolicyKit and PackageKit.  It's also believed to break
signals.

While upstream figure out what to do about that, we've looked into the
actual effect of the problem.

The most concerning system bus service would be system-tools-backend,
however that has explicit  rules, so should not be affected.

Other pieces already use PolicyKit.

Thus we're happy that there's no significant exploit here, and that
there is too great a risk for breaking existing services with the
current patch.  We'll make an upload as soon as the situation is clear.

[Bug 306362] Re: Default D-Bus system bus policy is allow

2008-12-09 Thread Scott James Remnant
A new release of DBus is now available:

http://dbus.freedesktop.org/dbus/releases/dbus-1.2.8.tar.gz
SHA1: f6a5215b1eb6fee17821beb22f2e934ad383bfbe

This release is a continuation of work on:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18229

== Overview ==
I think we're finally arriving at general consensus for where the line
for bugs in the core is versus in external programs for this issue.

DBus 1.2.8 has one behavioral change, which is to allow all signals by
default on the system bus. There is also a documentation update for
the system bus:

"Currently, the system bus has a default-deny policy for sending method calls
and owning bus names.  Everything else, in particular reply messages, receive
checks, and signals has a default allow policy."

There are two major things to be aware of, in order of importance:

== Services ==
Now, corresponding with this issue, some services must be updated.  A
tracking bug has been created:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18980

The above bug is for services which fail with the policy for DBus
1.2.8 (i.e. not 1.2.6).

== 
Besides services which must be updated to work, there are also
services whose config breaks *other* services or introduces erroneous
permissions.  This kind of flaw is really the fault of the policy
language - it's incredibly easy to introduce these kinds of flaws.  In
general, every rule in a system.d/foo.conf should include
"send_destination".  If it doesn't, it's almost certainly a bug.

The most insidious is this one:


  


Effectively, this will deny all messages sent with no interface - even
those *not sent to your service* - as occurs when using e.g. Python
and not using the dbus.Interface cast.  The correct rule looks like
this:


  


Bottom line - use send_destination in *every* rule unless you know
explicitly what you're doing, and avoid putting two services in the
same process (if you do, use PolicyKit).

[Bug 306362] Re: Default D-Bus system bus policy is allow

2008-12-09 Thread Scott James Remnant
Here's the technical summary:

The D-Bus protocol is made up of messages, the basic types of which are
"method call", "reply", "error" and "signal".

Messages are policy-checked by the bus daemon.  To be allowed, the
message must past both the "send" rules (for the client) and the
"receive" rules (for the service).

A method call is thus two messages: the "method call" sent from the
client to the service, and a "reply" or "error" sent back from the
service to the client.  The client must have permission to send the
"method call", and receive both "reply" and "error".  The service must
have permission to receive the "method call", and send both "reply" and
"error".

A signal is a signal message: the "signal" is sent from a service to
clients.  The service must have permission to send the "signal".  The
clients must have permission to receive the "signal".

--

Policy is specified by a series of  and  rules for
particular policy contexts (default, by user, etc.), and is in the
/etc/dbus-1/system.conf file and the various service
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/*.conf files.

The daemon simply concatenates the rules, it doesn't distinguish that a
certain file comes from a certain service, etc.  Remember that: it's
important.

Since every message is checked for both send *and* receive, in practice,
you only need to test one side of this.  The standard so far has been to
allow clients to send the message to you:

Here's an example for a typical service, this example is pastable:

  

  

  

  

This allows the "root" user to own the "com.ubuntu.RoomService" bus
name; and allows any user to send method calls to it.

If you wanted to restrict some method calls, you might do something
like:

  


  

  


  

Note that we explicitly qualified the deny with a "send_destination";
otherwise we'd have denied the EvictGuest method call to *any* service,
not just our own - which might be a different interface, or a different
service entirely.

There is a case for using receive policy rules, restricting who can
receive signals (which are otherwise allowed).  For example, to only
allow root to receive a signal:

  


  

  


  

ie. root can own the bus name, and can receive signals from RoomService;
everyone else can send method calls to RoomService but cannot receive
signals from it.

Again note that we qualify with the sender, we don't want to deny
signals from other services.

--

The above assumes that the default System Bus policy is:

 * deny owning a bus name
 * deny sending method calls
 * allow sending a reply to a method call, an error return
 * allow sending a signal
 * allow receiving all messages

Which is the default as of 1.2.8.

The first three points are probably non-controversial, it requires
services to allow themselves to own a bus name, to allow clients to send
the method calls - but doesn't require that they allow themselves to
send a reply to those method calls.

The fourth and fifth are suggested because services have not been
particularly careful about allowing clients to receive their signals or
messages to date, and prevents breaking their configuration.

It's actually not possible to allow/deny sending a particular signal,
because you can't match the sender, instead you would allow/deny
receiving the signal.

A worry is that the default policy permits anyone to forge signals, with
only the bus name being different - and relies on clients carefully
checking the bus name.  The standard dbus_message_is_signal() method
call does not check the bus name.

[Bug 306705] [NEW] No permission to call method (dbus 1.2.8)

2008-12-09 Thread Scott James Remnant
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: screen-resolution-extra

The supplied D-Bus system bus configuration does not contain any policy
to allow communication with the exported objects.  Thus this only works
because of a security flaw in D-Bus, fixed in 1.2.6/8.

[Bug 306716] [NEW] D-Bus policy wrong

2008-12-09 Thread Scott James Remnant
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: eggcups

The included D-Bus policy, even when patched, is wrong:

 * send_interface without send_destination applies to all services on the bus, 
since the destination itself is allowed, this extra rule is not needed
 * defaults already deny ownership and sending, so the default context is 
unnecessary

The shipped D-Bus policy (in bluez.conf) is wrong:

 * send_path without send_destination allows for all services, since the

We don't derive our packaging from Debian; our udev packages are based
on upstream.  If the patch is accepted there, that's ok - but otherwise
you need to update multipath-tools (which should probably use libudev

[Bug 296710] Re: warning: ehci_hcd loaded AFTER uhci_hcd and ohci_hcd

2008-11-19 Thread Scott James Remnant
My opinion is that this is a kernel bug that the order matters at all.

ehci_hcd is the USB 2.0 HC driver.

ohci_hcd and uhci_hcd are the older USB 1.0 drivers.

Now imagine this scenario:

 * a laptop with only USB 1.0 Host Control Devices is booted

 * we'll only load ohci_hcd/uhci_hcd because those are all we need

 * hours/days/weeks later, the laptop owner plugs in a pccard that
provides a USB 2.0 interface

 * we now load the ehci_hcd driver, and get that kernel warning

There's no way to guarantee module ordering, because there's no way to
guarantee that the USB 2.0 hardware is even connected at the point we
discover USB 1.0 hardware.

I'd therefore suggest there is no way to correct this in userspace.

The kernel should not be so stupid as to require a module ordering.

And arguable, those three drivers should be built in to the kernel
anyway, then it can worry about it!

Access to system devices is provided through the HAL or DeviceKit
interface.  Permission to access is managed through the PolicyKit layer,
where the D-Bus system bus service providing the device access
negotiates privilege with the application requesting it.

I don't agree.

Adding a PolicyKit authorization to use RDMA devices is not practically
any harder than adding a group; in fact, maintenance-wise it's
substantially easier.

HAL may then be used to apply an ACL to the devices automatically if you
want raw library aaccess.

Right ;-)

getty only functions when in TEXT mode on the console, gdm only
functions when in RAW/GRAPHICS mode.

One neat advantage to leaving getty on tty1 is that, while it won't be
affected by gdm running over the top of it, if gdm were to exit
(repeated X.org crash, etc.) - there's a getty waiting for you on the
console.

(at least, that's what my testing suggests)

It's certainly not one we support; most of the boot process

That's incorrect.

There is a link between these packages.

autoconf -Recommends-> automake -Depends-> autotools-dev

thus they will be installed together in "all but unusual" situations.

[Bug 321727] Re: Incorrect automake, aclocal path variables in autoreconf script

2009-01-27 Thread Scott James Remnant
(This can also happen if you have manually configured the automake
symlink in the past to a version that you've since removed - U-A doesn't
put it back to the next best, it just removes the link)

[Bug 189375] Re: "Use of uninitialized value" with "--remove" and non-existent link in /usr/bin

2009-01-27 Thread Scott James Remnant
This is evidence of a much deeper bug.

The patch simply removes the warning - it doesn't fix the fundamental
problem

[Bug 321658] Re: setting permissions by group does not work

2009-01-27 Thread Scott James Remnant
Could you attach the results of udevadm test anyway (without the :-), so
we know which is overriding - other people will surely run into this

This makes no sense.

You say that /var/tmp had 1755 permissions, and you set them to 1755?

/var/tmp's default permissions are 1777, and I've just confirmed that
this is correct with a fresh install of hardy.

I assume you've found a problem with the unofficial eee variant, so you
should report this to them.
