KamionKeybuk: certainly some nCipher people are a bit worried about the whole thing ...01:13
Keybukodd really, algorithms like that are only useful until their broken; and it's inevitable that they'll be broken eventually01:14
mdzthat's true of all known cryptosystems, no?01:14
Kamionyeah, MD5 has been rather extensively deployed in all sorts of places though01:16
Kamionno preimage attacks though, at least, which is something01:16
Kamionbut it's not such a big deal for things like the Debian archive01:17
Kamionthe adversary would also have to be able to upload to Debian/Ubuntu in order to do anything with a collision attack, and at that point they can exploit the system anyway01:17
mdzor get an upload sponsored01:18
Kamion(a binary-only upload ...)01:18
mdzwhy binary-only?01:18
mdztheoretically if they were clever enough they could produce a source package collision, no?01:18
Kamionreference to le flamewar du jour01:18
Kamionwhen sponsoring I generally rebuild the source package from the unpacked source tree, and gzip contains timestamps01:19
Keybukplus we carry/verify md5+size, rather than just md5 ... which has got to make colliding harder ?01:20
KamionI'm not sure that's really true01:20
Kamion(intuitive though it seems001:20
Kamion)01:20
Kamionconstructing meaningful collisions of gzipped data is probably a lot harder than constructing meaningful collisions of uncompressed data though01:21
KeybukI don't really know, it could be that the collision is more likely to be the same size for all I know :p01:21
mdzthe example collision data was of equal size01:21
mdzyeah, was thinking about the gzip case01:22
mdzseems hard with embedded checksums01:22
KamionI think with the way the hash algorithm works it's a lot easier to construct a collision by taking one piece of data and twiddling a few bits01:23
Keybuknot to mention generating a collision where X is useful for a user and Y for a hacker <g>01:23
Kamionif you look at the example collisions they're almost identical save for a few bits01:23
Keybukthen again, I suppose noop->jmp is just a bit-twiddle01:23
Kamion"/usr" -> "/tmp" isn't that far01:24
Kamionor whatever01:24
hrdwrbobbut there's the likelihood of a twiddle that is useful/bad/whateever colliding01:25
hrdwrbobit's pretty slim01:25
hrdwrbobit's not 001:25
Keybukor more clever, if you could generate a source package which produced a binary guaranteed to have an md5 equal to a collision you've pre-prepared01:25
Kamionbinary .deb => control.tar.gz + data.tar.gz => timestamps01:27
Kamionnot clear that's possible in Debian01:27
Kamion(as stated, at least)01:27
Keybukyou've sufficient control over those it is01:27
bdaleKamion: question from right field.  for apt-secure, is there a particular tool typically used to generate the detached signatures, or is gpg typically scripted directly?01:28
Kamionhm, yes, debian/rules gets to run gzip, ok01:28
Keybukit wouldn't stand much scrutiny, but then half the sponsors don't bother01:28
hrdwrbobyou still have to be GOOD01:28
Kamionbdale: have to say I'm not sure, mdz would be your man01:28
bdalemdz: dude...01:28
=== bdale is giving a talk in a few hours on trust issues in Debian, and wants to get the facts right
bdaleprincipal objective is to tell folks how to get this right when they're building small repositories for locally generated packages01:30
Kamionnow, if it were me, I'd hack debsign, but ...01:35
KamionPackage: debsigs01:35
KamionDescription: applies cryptographic signatures to Debian packages01:36
Kamion debsigs is a package that allows GPG signatures to be embedded inside Debian01:36
Kamion packages.  These signatures can later be verified by package retrieval and01:36
Kamion installation tools to ensure the authenticity of the contents of the01:36
Kamion package.01:36
Kamionis that the standard approach? not sure01:36
mdzbdale: here01:36
mdzbdale: it's just a simple detached signature of Release01:36
bdalemdz: ok, cool.  any particular words of wisdom to add if I'm telling folks how to do this?  is apt-ftparchive the cool tool, I've always just used dpkg-scanpackages and dpkg-scansource ...01:37
mdzbdale: yes, apt-ftparchive is the way to go01:37
mdzbdale: it can generate Release files as well01:37
bdaleright.  ok, I'll go update that slide.  01:37
bdaleany known big problems with running apt 0.6 from experimental, or is it all as good as it seems?01:38
mdzbdale: you'll probably want to do a slide on apt-key as well01:38
mdzbdale: the biggest problem, as usual with these things, is key management01:38
bdalemdz: yes.  what's the right url for the current archive key to give folks?01:38
mdzif all you're doing is pointing at Debian, it ships with that key and it Just Works01:38
bdaleah, ok01:38
bdale"it" in this case is the 0.6 versions of the apt package?01:38
mdzyes01:40
bdalek01:40
mdzyou can get the key via http somewhere, but I don't know the URL offhand and as I recall, it's buried somewhere on d.o01:40
bdaleno worries, if it's in the package (I couldn't recall), that's fine01:40
Kamionelmo: any chance of byhand processing of debian-installer/amd64, so that I can test the required debian-cd changes?01:40

bdalegah, xchat substitution strikes again...02:12
mdzbdale: you are pointing at an archive with a Release file signed by a key that you haven't told apt to trust02:13
mdzit only trusts the Debian key by default02:13
bdalemdz: well, that ought to be the current Debian unstable Release file...02:13
Kamionmdz: works for me; do you just mean the way aptitude won't install anything if one piece of the task is uninstallable?02:13
mdz30B34DD5 is the current Debian one02:13
=== bdale goes to figure out what's wrong
mdzKamion: oh, so it's just fallout from the evolution-* uninstallability then?02:14
Kamionmdz: well, when I do it using aptitude by hand then I get evolution1.5 installed, so I guess so02:14

pittimdz: I looked at your patches, looks good.08:24
pittimdz: but why do you think snprintf is better than strncat?08:24
pittimdz: printf is quite expensive and has a lot more code than strncat, doesn't it?08:25
fabbionedaily is broken... evo needs to be fixed08:32
fabbionejdub: are you going to fix it???08:33
mdzpitti: snprintf operates in terms of the available storage08:41
mdzpitti: while strncat requires that you calculate it08:41
mdzso snprintf is less error prone08:41
pittimdz: okay; I already incorporated the fixes; I will also restrict it to the plugdev group in today's upload08:42
mdzok08:42
pittimdz: if we leave mount/umount unrestricted this does not really fulfill the SecurityPolicy because all users still can mount CD-ROMS (with are in fstab)08:42
pittimdz: s/with/which/08:42
mdzpitti: can't we stop adding CD-ROMs to fstab if we use pmount?08:43

Kamionyes, I've noticed those, I transcribed them once02:37

Kamionjoeyh and I think it's something to do with the debconf database not being set up properly yet, but we aren't sure02:37
Kamionit's hard to catch because at least four of them go away after base-config runs :(02:38
Kamionshould the pop-up text on the Help button say "Get help with Ubuntu" rather than "Get help with GNOME"?02:39
fabbioneKamion: ok..02:39

Kamionyou get the first error if you invoke 'base-config new' again, but not the others02:42
fabbioneweird02:44
fabbionebut it's the first time i notice them02:44
Kamionpresumably because it's set up the debconf database by after that02:44
Kamionoh, it's been there for some time, I've seen it ...02:44
Kamionok, so at least the first one is from debconf-copydb02:45
Kamionaha, removing /var/cache/debconf/* reawakens the errors02:45

SleepBoBWe (and Thomson) have (as far as we can determine, of course) unavoidable patent rights on Layer-3 encoding and decoding. We just are not enforcing the decoder rights on decoders which are software only and have been written by some freeware author (i.e. are freeware). Please understand that this sentence does not mean that I give an implied decoder license to everybody writing freeware code, I am not in the formal position to do this.04:15

mdzpitti: ah08:16
pittimdz: one thing that could help comes with kernel 2.6.808:16
mdzpitti: have you tested the 2.6.8 kernel yet?08:16
pittimdz: there are now files /sys/block/whatever/removable :-)08:16
mdzI posted information to the sounder list08:17
pittimdz: not the ubuntu one; is there already a ppc build?08:17
pittimdz: I currently run upstream08:17
pittimdz: we could extend the policy of pmount: if removable exists and contains 1, we could allow the pmount. What do you think?08:17
mdzpitti: no, the powerpc build is not available yet08:18
pittimdz: but eventually we will ship 2.6.8 with warty, will we?08:18
pittimdz: the problem is that for finding this removable file, a lot of new code had to go into pmount since then it needs to recursively scan the whole /sys/block hierarchy08:19

Kamionah, right, that's normal archive bitrot09:20

npmccallumKamion: pmount just wraps mount, so long as you are a. root or b. have the device in fstab it should be fine09:24
npmccallumKamion: pmount also gives you other priviledges, like mounting removeable non-fstab devices as non-root09:25
Kamionnpmccallum: that's not my point at all09:26
Kamionas previously mentioned, if you change the dependencies of packages in Base you have to tell me so that I can update debootstrap and debian-cd, otherwise CD images break.09:26
Kamionand you probably ought to get an ack from mdz for that, since he seemed unsure about moving pmount to Desktop ...09:27
Kamionhence why I asked after I spotted the changelog entry :-)09:27
Kamionalso, I wonder if this will break the udeb09:28
Kamionsince there's no pmount in d-i09:28
Kamionperhaps the location of umount should be made a #define so that it can be different in the .deb from in the .udeb; at any rate, I think it needs discussion ...09:29

KeybukDeviceAdded, udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usbif_usb_4cb_100_1000_-1_Y-248^^^^^011116XFJX0017001826_010:04
Keybukbut nothing on the system dbus10:04
mdznpmccallum: all hail hal10:04
=== npmccallum quotes mdz and forwards it to the utopia list
npmccallumKeybuk: check out hal-device-manager -- does it have the right properties of something mountable?10:05
Keybuknpmccallum: how do I tell?10:06
pittinpmccallum: I did that. I just get the kernel notifications of the new device, but dbus-monitor does not print anything10:06
mdznpmccallum: if hal were lying about something, it couldn't cause gvm to do anything untoward, could it?10:07
pittinpmccallum: but I do see a node "OTI-6803 Flash Disk" (the device) which has one child "Flash Disk" which has a block.device property (/dev/sda)10:07
mdzit seems like hal is pretty gullible10:07
npmccallumKeybuk: block.is_volume, block.storage_device, info.capabilities = *block volume*10:07
Keybukdoesn't have any of those10:07
pittimdz: that's why pmount has to do its own checks, we cannot trust hal since users can overwrite all properties10:07
Keybukdoesn't even have an info.capabilities10:07
mdzpitti: right, but gvm listens directly to hal10:08
npmccallumKeybuk: that may be the problem, perhaps hal isn't aware of your devices10:08
Keybuknpmccallum: it's got a name for it10:08
pittimdz: I know, but even if hal tries to fool gvm, gvm cannot mount invalid devices10:08
mdzKeybuk: I think it gets the name as a string from sysfs10:08
Keybukmdz: the string's different10:08
mdzpitti: yes, it can't fool pmount, but gvm itself runs as a user, and so one user could forge information in hal which could be acted upon by another user automatically10:09
mdzpitti: I'm not sure what other actions might be taken by gvm apart from calling pmount10:09
npmccallumKeybuk: it may get the string from the device itself10:09
mdzthis issue isn't specific to our modifications10:09
pittimdz: that's the problem. hal must not be trusted10:09
npmccallumKeybuk: though, I'm not sure10:09
Keybuksyndicate scott% cat /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1/1-1:1.0/host4/4:0:0:0/model10:10
KeybukFinePix 1400Zoom10:10
npmccallumpitti: hal (as it stands now) is very naive10:10
pittinpmccallum: must block.is_volume be 1 to be recognized by gvm? The property exists, but it is 0. Can this be the cause?10:10
npmccallumpitti: yes probably10:10
Keybukhal has "FinePix 1300 / 1400 / 4700 Zoom digital camera"10:10
pittinpmccallum: but it has the correct block.major and block.minor property values10:10
pittinpmccallum: info.capabilities is "block storage"10:11
npmccallumpitti, Keybuk: if block.is_volume < 1 i don't think gvm will mount it, let me check10:11
Keybuknpmccallum: there is no block.is_volume key10:11
pittiKeybuk: is this an USB stick?10:12
Keybukpitti: it's a digital camera that appears as a usb storage device10:12
pittiKeybuk: should work as well...10:12
pittiKeybuk: what's your info.capabilities?10:13
npmccallumKeybuk, pitti, mdz: if a device does not have block.is_volume = 1 (or doesn't have block.is_volume at all), gvm ignores it10:13
mdznpmccallum: right, but anyone can change that, can't they?10:13
pittinpmccallum: can we extend this to look at info.category or info.capabilities?10:13
Keybukpitti: that key doesn't exist10:13
Keybuknpmccallum: ok, so how do I fix hal?10:13
mdznever mind, different issue10:13
pittimdz: we should really only regard the hal information as hints10:15
npmccallumhal will have to be made aware of your device, have you guys tried the newest hal (either from debian or from cvs)?10:15
pittinpmccallum: as I already said, 0.2.97 is even a regression10:15
pittinpmccallum: whereas the Warty hal properly recognizes my USB stick, the sid version does not any more10:15
pittiKeybuk: do you have storage.drive_type10:16
pittiKeybuk: ?10:16
Keybuknope10:16
pittiKeybuk: do you actually have a proper volume node as a child of the actual device node?10:17
jdubhey hey hey10:17
npmccallumpitti: I believe that hal requires a partition table (it sounds like your device doesn't?)10:17
Keybukpitti: well, there's a /dev/sda110:17
sabdflmdz, pitti: I'm in group plugdev, it's still not working.10:17
=== jdub wakes up in a place he didn't think he went to sleep...
pittisabdfl: what do you use for testing?10:18
pittisabdfl: i. e. what kind of device?10:18
pittijdub: good morning! :-)10:18
npmccallumpitti: the storage.xxxx properties are only for the master device, (ie. /dev/hda) you don't get those entries in specific volumes (ie. /dev/hda1)10:18
pittinpmccallum: so maybe we could use the master device if no partitions are present?10:19
pittinpmccallum: if we drop CD-ROMs from fstab in the future (probably not for Warty any more), this must work anyway10:19
=== ploum [~ploum@191-225.242.81.adsl.skynet.be] has joined #ubuntu
npmccallumpitti: the real place this needs to change is in hal10:22
npmccallumpitti: not gvm10:22
npmccallumpitti: hal already handles cdroms seperately10:22
pittinpmccallum: okay. but how is hal supposed to handle that? Do the check if no partitions are present, and if not, set block.is_volume to 1?10:23
Keybukhrm, hal in unstable isn't any better10:23
Keybukwhat I don't get is why it it doesn't understand that its a storage device seeing as it's reacting to the hotplug scsi thingy10:23
pittiKeybuk: unstable's hal is even worse, it still runs as root10:24
=== MacRohard is now known as SNICKSERVUCKZ
pittiKeybuk: does your camera have partitions?10:25
npmccallumpitti: it can't do that because you may insert a device without any paritions on it or without direct access and it would still have block.is_volume = 1 (though you can't mount it)10:25
Keybukyeah, one10:25
npmccallumpitti: we actually need to profile these devices within hal10:25
pittinpmccallum: I thought only partitions get is_volume=1?10:26
=== SNICKSERVUCKZ is now known as MacRohard
npmccallumpitti: I believe cdroms get it as well10:26

pittinpmccallum: does it really hurt to try mounting the whole device if no partitions are present? If there's no filesystem, the mount will just fail10:27
pittinpmccallum: BTW, Warty's hal cannot detect file systems any more, I deprived it from group 'disk'10:27
=== pitti wishes that gvm would respond directly to hotplug events
