Message #00338
[Merge] ~seb128/apport:desktop-installer-fixes into apport:main
Sebastien Bacher has proposed merging ~seb128/apport:desktop-installer-fixes into apport:main.
Commit message:
Fix some issues in the hook for ubuntu-desktop-bootstrap (lp: #2072751)
Requested reviews:
Apport upstream developers (apport-hackers)
Related bugs:
Bug #2067775 in apport (Ubuntu): "subiquity package-hook is outdated"
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/2067775
Bug #2072751 in apport (Ubuntu): "The ubuntu-desktop-bootstrap hook isn't working"
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/2072751
For more details, see:
https://code.launchpad.net/~seb128/apport/+git/apport/+merge/469203
Report example submitted with the edited hook
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-desktop-provision/+bug/2072749
Note that we want to get that SRUed to Noble before 24.04.1 because we need to fixed hook on the ISO for users to be able to report installer bugs correctly (a SRU was just uploaded, maybe we can do another upload to include that change?)

+
+ * New upstream release:
+ - SECURITY FIX: Restrict a report's CrashDB field to literals.
+ Use ast.literal_eval() instead of the generic eval(), to prevent
+ arbitrary code execution from malicious .crash files. A user could be
+ tricked into opening a crash file whose CrashDB field contains an
+ exec(), open(), or similar commands; this is fairly easy as we install a
+ MIME handler for these. Thanks to Donncha O'Cearbhaill for discovering
+ this! (CVE-2016-9949, LP: #1648806)
+ - SECURITY FIX: Fix path traversal vulnerability with hooks execution.
+ Ensure that Package: and SourcePackage: fields loaded from reports do
+ not contain directories. Until now, an attacker could trick a user into
+ opening a malicious .crash file containing "Package:
+ ../../../../some/dir/foo" which would execute /some/dir/foo.py with
+ arbitrary code. Thanks to Donncha O'Cearbhaill for discovering this!
+ (CVE-2016-9950, LP: #1648806)
+ - SECURITY FIX: apport-{gtk,kde}: Only offer "Relaunch" for recent
+ /var/crash crashes.
+ It only makes sense to offer relaunching for crashes that just happened
+ and the apport UI got triggered on those. When opening a .crash file
+ copied from somewhere else or after the crash happened, this is even
+ actively dangerous as a malicious crash file can specify any arbitrary
+ command to run. Thanks to Donncha O'Cearbhaill for discovering this!
+ (CVE-2016-9951, LP: #1648806)
+ - backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: provide a fallback method if using zgrep
+ to search for a file in Contents.gz fails due to a lack of memory.
+ Thanks Brian Murray.
+ - bin/apport-retrace: When --core-file is used instead of loading the core
+ file and adding it to the apport report just pass the file reference to
+ gdb.

+
+ * New upstream release:
+ - SECURITY UPDATE: When /proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable is enabled, crashing a
+ program that is suid root or not readable for the user would create
+ root-owned core files in the current directory of that program. Creating
+ specially crafted core files in /etc/logrotate.d or similar could then
+ lead to arbitrary code execution with root privileges.
+ Now core files do not get written for these kinds of programs, in
+ accordance with the intention of core(5).
+ Thanks to Sander Bos for discovering this issue!
+ (CVE-2015-1324, LP: #1452239)
+ - SECURITY UPDATE: When writing a core dump file for a crashed packaged
+ program, don't close and reopen the .crash report file but just rewind
+ and re-read it. This prevents the user from modifying the .crash report
+ file while "apport" is running to inject data and creating crafted core
+ dump files. In conjunction with the above vulnerability of writing core
+ dump files to arbitrary directories this could be exploited to gain root
+ privileges.
+ Thanks to Philip Pettersson for discovering this issue!
+ (CVE-2015-1325, LP: #1453900)
+ - apportcheckresume: Fix "occured" typo, thanks Matthew Paul Thomas.

+
+ * New upstream release:
+ - setup.py: Build java module with "-target 1.5" option, so that you can run
+ it with OpenJDK 6 even if you build with OpenJDK 7.
+ - report.py, add_proc_info(): Show if $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is set.
+ - Add apport/crashdb_impl/debian.py: Initial crash database implementation for
+ the Debian BTS. Add configuration for it to etc/apport/crashdb.conf. Thanks
+ Ritesh Raj Sarraf!
+ Note that in the Ubuntu packaging branch crashdb.conf is not changed, as
+ we do not need the Debian BTS and this would otherwise be Feature Freeze
+ matter.
+ - test_python_crashes.py: Robustify "$PYTHONPATH in ProcEnviron" check.
+ - Updated translations from Launchpad.
+ * data/package-hooks/source_linux.py: Stop collecting ACPI data, not
+ needed/desired for most bug reports according to Colin King.
+ * debian/tests/control: Add at-spi2-core dependency, otherwise the GTK test
+ will fail to connect to org.a11y.Bus.

+ - REThread.py: Fix re-raising of exceptions in Python 3. Thanks Martin
+ Packman! (LP: #1024836)
+ - apport-retrace: Keep compressed CoreDump from .crash files instead of
+ uncompressing them into memory. This dramatically reduces memory usage.
+ (LP: #981155)
+ - Add an apport.memdbg() function which prints out current memory usage if
+ APPORT_MEMDEBUG is set. Annotate apport-retrace with it.
+ - hookutils.py: Allow specifying a list of profile names when using
+ attach_mac_events(). Thanks Marc Deslauriers.
+ - hookutils.py, attach_root_command_outputs() and root_command_output():
+ Drop usage of sudo, kdesudo, and gksu, and replace with pkexec. For
+ attach_root_command_outputs(), use a wrapper and proper .policy file
+ which explains the action and works under every environment; thus
+ attach_root_command_outputs() is preferred over root_command_output()
+ now, as it provides a better user experience.
+ - Package hooks which want to send the report to a different crash
+ database than "default" can now also give the database specification
+ itself in the "CrashDB" field, not just the DB name. With this, packages
+ do not need to ship a separate /etc/apport/crashdb.conf.d/ file. Please
+ see doc/package-hooks.txt for details. (LP: #551330)
+ - report.py, add_hooks_info(): If reporting against a package/program in
+ /opt, also search for package hooks in the corresponding /opt directory.
+ This allows such hooks to define a custom crash database and thus report
+ bugs against their own project instead of against the distribution.
+ (LP: #1020503)
+ * debian/rules: Call dh_install with --list-missing, and ignore .pyc and

+ * New upstream release. Changes since our previous snapshot:
+ - Add new "RecoverableProblem" report type for problems which the
+ application can handle, but still wishes to notify the user and send a
+ problem report about. As an example, the application may wish to notify
+ the user because handling the error resulted in degraded functionality.
+ The user interface may fail to load items, or the action just performed
+ may not return any data. Applications call
+ /usr/share/apport/recoverable_problem with a string of arbitrary
+ NUL-separated key/value pairs that are added to the report. Thanks Evan
+ Dandrea!
+ - launchpad.py: Fix setting of 'Medium' importance on duplicate checking.
+ - apport-retrace: Fix StacktraceSource generation for relative --cache
+ paths.
+ - crashdb.py, check_duplicate(): Do not try to mark a bug as duplicate of
+ itself. This can happen when re-processing a previously retraced bug.
+ - apport-retrace: Fix UnicodeDecodeError when encountering a non-ASCII
+ source code file and running under a non-UTF-8 locale.
+ * debian/control: Add libc6-dbg build dependency, to ensure that the

+ and whether the processes for those are running. This helps to determine

+ * New upstream release:
+ - launchpad.py: Rework test suite to not use Launchpad's +storeblob
+ facility at all any more. It almost never works on staging and is
+ horribly slow. Fake the bug creation from a blob by manually creating
+ the comment and attachments ourselves, and just assume that storeblob
+ works on production. Also change the structure to allow running every
+ test individually.
+ - crash-digger: Add --crash-db option to specify a non-default crash
+ database name. (LP: #1003506)
+ - apport-gtk: Add --hanging option to specify the process ID of a hanging
+ application. If the user chooses to report this error, apport will
+ terminate the pid with SIGABRT, otherwise it will send SIGKILL. The
+ normal core pipe handler will be used to process the resulting report
+ file, with a .hanging file in /var/crash to separate these from regular
+ crashes.
+ - apport: Also treat a binary as modified if the /proc/pid/exe symlink
+ does not point to an existing file any more. (LP: #984944)
+ - Fix PEP-8 violations picked up by latest pep8 checker.
+ - ui.py: Do not ignore certain exceptions during upload which are not
+ likely to be a network error.
+ - launchpad.py: Recongize Launchpad projects for bug query and marking
+ operations. (LP: #1003506)
+ - packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Fix get_source_tree() to work with apt sandboxes.
+ - apport-retrace: Turn StacktraceSource generation back on, now that it
+ works with the current sandboxing.
+ - launchpad.py: Ensure that upload chunk size does not underrun.

+ - apport_python_hook: Fix UnicodeEncodeError crash with Python 2 for

+ after quoting, to avoid that the quoting causes them to become too long.
+ (LP: #968070) This also uncovered that known() did not actually find any
+ signature which contained an URL-quoted character, therefore breaking
+ client-side duplicate checking in a lot of cases. Double-quote the file
+ name now, as urlopen() unquotes it.
+ - Add a new crash database option "problem_types" and a CrashDatabase
+ method "accepts(report)". This can be used to stop uploading particular
+ problem report types to that database. E. g. a distribution might decide
+ to not get "Crash" reports any more after release. Document the new
+ option in doc/crashdb-conf.txt.
+ - ui.py: Do not upload a report if the crash database does not accept the
+ report's type. This behaviour is not really correct, but necessary as
+ long as we only support a single crashdb and have whoopsie hardcoded.
+ Once we have multiple crash dbs, we need to not even present the data if
+ none of the DBs wants the report. See LP #957177 for details.
+ (LP: #968121)
+ - ui.py: Do not short-circuit information collection if report already has
+ a "DistroRelease" field, as the GUIs add that in some cases. Check for
+ "Dependencies" instead. This fixes information collection for kernel
+ problems (which now has a full GTK GUI test case). (LP: #968488)

+ - launchpad.net: When sending retraced results back to the bug report,
+ update the topmost function in the bug title. (LP: #869970)
+ - report.py, add_gdb_info(): Add a new field "StacktraceAddressSignature"
+ which is a heuristic signature for signal crashes. This should be used
+ if crash_signature() fails, i. e. the Stacktrace field does not have
+ enough symbols. This can be used to check for duplicates on the client
+ side, provided that the crash database server supports querying for
+ these. Do not expose this field when uploading to crash databases
+ though, as it can be recomputed from the already existing information
+ (ProcMaps and Stacktrace) and thus would just clutter the reports.
+ - crashdb.py: Add a table "version" with the database format version. Add
+ automatic upgrading to the most current format.
+ - crashdb.py: Put address signatures from reports checked with
+ check_duplicate() into the duplicate database, so that implementations
+ of known() can check for these.
+ - dupdb-admin: Add "publish" dupdb-admin command which exports the
+ duplicate database into a set of text files suitable for WWW publishing.
+ - crashdb.py: Add new method "known(report)" which can be implemented to
+ check if the crash db already knows about the crash signature. If so,
+ the report will not be uploaded, and instead the user will be directed
+ to the existing report URL (if available), similar to bug patterns. The
+ default implementation checks this format, if the crash database is
+ initialized with a "dupdb_url" option pointing to the exported database.
+ - launchpad.py: Override known() to check if the master bug is actually
+ accessible by the reporter, and is not tagged with "apport-failed-retrace"
+ or "apport-request-retrace"; otherwise file it anyway.
+ - crash-digger: Add --publish-db option to conveniently integrate
+ duplicate DB publication (similar to dupdb-admin publish) into retracer
+ setups.
+ - launchpad.py: Attach updated stack traces from a duplicate to the master
+ bug if it failed retracing previously or has an "apport-request-retrace"
+ tag. (LP: #869982)

+ "Kernel". (LP: #664378)

+ * data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: generate a DuplicateSignature tag for

+
+ [ Martin Pitt ]
+ * New upstream release:
+ - Completely rework apport-retrace to use gdb's "debug-file-directory" and
+ "solib-absolute-prefix" settings and only unpack the necessary packages
+ in a temporary directory. This makes it possible to use it in a running
+ system without actually touching installed packages, does not need any
+ root privileges, and stops the requirement of using chroots with
+ fakechroot and fakeroot. This is a lot easier to maintain and use, and a
+ lot faster, too. As a consequence, drop the chroot module, and update
+ crash-digger accordingly. See "man apport-retrace" for the new usage.
+ It is now also easier to port to other packaging backends, as a lot of
+ the common logic moved out of the packaging API;
+ packaging.install_retracing_packages() got dropped in favor of the
+ simpler packaging.install_packages(). (LP: #832740)
+ - launchpad.py: When searchTasks() times out, exit with 99 as this is a
+ transient error.
+ - crash-digger: Intercept OverflowError from downloaded compressed
+ attachments.
+ - crash-digger: Show how many bugs are left in the pool with each new
+ retrace.
+ * Drop debian/local/apport-chroot and manpage, and ubuntu-fat-chroot. These
+ are obsolete now with the new apport-retrace.
+ * Drop debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: Most of it is obsolete now,
+ setting up a retracer merely needs an lp:apport checkout and creating an
+ apt sources file, we don't need a script for that any more.

+ - Update all copyright and description headers and consistently format

+ that details about package installation failures were not shown before
+ sending them, which is fixed now.
+ - test/hooks: Do not try to add hook information to kernel_crashdump test

+
+ * New upstream release:
+ - Add a mode for updating an existing problem report to ui.py
+ (-u/--update). This is similar to the Ubuntu specific "apport-collect"
+ tool, but implemented the right way now: In particular, this has access
+ to the UI and thus can use interactive hooks (LP: #385811) and show you
+ what is being sent for confirmation/cancelling (LP: #371827)
+
+ - apport-bug: If invoked as "apport-collect" or "apport-update-bug" (i. e.
+ through a symlink), run apport in update mode (-u <number>). This
+ provides a convenient no-options command line program. Please note that
+ setup.py does not currently install such a symlink. Update the
+ apport-bug manpage accordingly.
+
+ - launchpad.py: Use new login_with() to clean up code, and specify allowed
+ access levels (WRITE_PRIVATE is the only sensible one anyway).
+ (LP: #410205)
+
+ - New hookutils functions:
+ + xsession_errors (match lines from ~/.xsession-errors)
+ + shared_libraries (determine which libraries a binary links with)
+ + links_with_shared_library (test if a binary links with a particular
+ library)
+
+ - New CrashDatabase API: get_affected_packages(), can_update(), is_reporter()
+
+ - Rename CrashDatabase.update() to update_traces().
+
+ - Add CrashDatabase.update() for adding all new fields of a report. This is
+ primarily useful for collecting local standard and package hook data for an
+ already existing bug report which was not filed through Apport. This checks
+ can_update()/is_reporter() if the user is eligible for updating that
+ particular bug. (LP: #485880)

+ argument "do what I mean" mode. This is an improved version of Ubuntu's
+ "ubuntu-bug" script.

+ point out that apport-gtk and apport-kde share the same CLI.
+ - setup.py now installs apport-{gtk,kde} into $prefix/share/apport/, they
+ are not supposed to be called directly. This also reflects the path

+ "kernel_crashdump", "apport", or "apportcheckresume" into

+

+ - upload(): If we have an Ubuntu bug, mark it as private and only
+ subscribe 'apport' (the 'Apport retracing service' user).
+ - Add function _subscribe_triaging_team() which subscribes
+ ubuntu-crashes-main for source packages in Ubuntu main or restricted, or
+ ubuntu-crashes-universe for other packages. It does not touch non-Ubuntu
+ bugs, since these are not marked private by default and are outside of
+ the scope of this spec.

+ - Note: This entire spec is a gross hack, and Ubuntu derivatives do not
+ benefit from it at all. We have to live with this until LP grows a real
+ crash database.

+ New feature: fakechroot support for apport-retrace
+
+ * bin/apport-retrace:
+ - Simplify program design and throw away the complicated debug symbol
+ sandbox generation, along with the -d and -C options. Instead, directly
+ install the missing packages and ddebs with apt. This makes the tool more
+ suitable for running in chroots and has often been requested anyway.
+ - Add option -u/--unpack-only which causes additionally installed packages
+ to be unpacked without being configured and purged again after
+ retracing. This allows apport-retrace to work under fakechroot and has
+ the nice side effect of speeding up package installation (we do not care
+ about configuration for retracing anyway).
+ * man/apport-retrace.1: Update description for the new behaviour, drop
+ documentation of the -d and -C options, and add documentation of -u.
+ * Add apport/chroot.py: Class for representing and working with chroots;
+ this uses the fakeroot and fakechroot libraries when being called as
+ non-root.
+ * Add bin/apport-chroot: CLI frontend for doing various things with
+ chroots (including fakeroot/fakechroot support from the Chroot class). For
+ now, this implements:
+ - create a chroot (tarball or directory)
+ - dist-upgrade a particular or all chroots
+ - apport-retrace a bug or Apport report file
+ * setup.py: Ship apport-chroot in scripts directory.
+ * Add a new package apport-retrace which ships apport-retrace and
+ apport-chroot and carries all the heavier dependencies (binutils,
+ python-launchpad-bugs, python-apt, etc.). Drop the latter two dependencies
+ from the apport package. This allows us to install the apport-retrace
+ package in fakechroots (not possible with apport itself) and avoid
+ unnecessary dependencies on normal desktop installations.

+ - Add --verbose option and be quiet by default.
+ - Read ProcMaps for additional library dependencies, to also catch

+ - Set correct debug file directory when starting an interactive gdb
+ session with -g.
+ * Add gtk/apport-gtk.desktop.in: Desktop file for calling apport-gtk in
+ 'file a distro bug' mode, to be displayed in gnome-panel's System menu
+ (see bug-reporting-tool spec). Also add a Makefile to do the

+ * setup.py, debian/apport.install: Ship package_hook.

+
+ New feature: Maintain a per-binary blacklist to inhibit apport crash reports
+ until the binary changes. Closes: LP#79408
+
+ * apport/report.py: Add new Report methods check_ignored() and mark_ignore()
+ to check for/set ignore list entries. Add test cases.
+ * apport/ui.py: Add another return value of ui_present_crash() to specify
+ whether or not to blacklist the current crash's executable. Check workflow

+ * gtk/apport-gtk{,.glade}: Add a blacklist checkbox to the crash

+ * bin/apport: Do nothing if the current crash is blacklisted.

+
+ Bug fixes:
+
+ * gtk/apport-gtk: Fix return code for restarting the application ('reopen' ->
+ 'restart'). Closes: LP#81422
+ * test-apport: Adapt to new core_pattern kernel interface mode:
+ - Check core_pattern instead of the obsolete crashdump sysctl to determine
+ whether or not apport is running.
+ - Give apport max. 10 seconds to complete. The current kernel reaps the
+ crashed process as soon as writing the core dump to the pipe is
+ finished, but apport still needs to write the report file.
+ - Do not EXFAIL the test for crashes in nonwriteable cwd any more, since
+ it is now supposed to work (we do not write a core dump to the disk any
+ more).
+ * run-tests, use-local: Adapt to new core_pattern kernel interface.
+ * apport: Improve logging of exceptions, include environment variables.
+ * apport/report.py test suite: Use gdb to generate a test core dump, do not
+ rely on kill(SIGSEGV) and the kernel to do it (since we now use a pipe in
+ core_pattern).
+ * backends/packaging-dpkg.py: Fix return value of get_modified_files() if
+ dpkg .list file is missing.
+ * apport/report.py, add_package_info(): Do not produce stray empty lines for
+ uninstalled alternative dependencies.
+ * apport/report.py: Fix test_add_gdb_info_script() to not leave behind a
+ stray gzip process which randomly blocks stdin. Closes: LP#78421
+ * backends/packaging-dpkg.py: Do not read the dpkg status in the
+ constructor, but lazily initialize it when actually calling a query
+ function. This avoids imposing the dpkg-query overhead for programs that
+ import the apport package without doing package queries (such as any
+ Python program under Ubuntu, due to the Python crash hook).
+ * apport/ui.py, create_crash_bug_title():
+ - Do not crash on an empty StacktraceTop. Closes: LP#81677
+ - Do not mention an unknown function name ('??') in the bug title;

+ at all.
+ - Add test cases for these situations.
+ * apport/report.py, _get_ignore_dom(): Do not throw an error for an empty
+ ignore list file.
+
+ Code cleanups:

+ * apport/report.py test suite: Refactorize generation of test crash program
+ and core dump generation.
+ * Consistently use 'in'/'not in' instead of find() for substring searches.

+ accessed at apport.packaging instead of apport.packging.impl.

+ Some more 'Need for Speed' optimizations:
+
+ * backends/packaging-dpkg.py, _check_files_md5(): Also accept a md5sum
+ string in addition to a md5sum file.
+ * backends/packaging-dpkg.py, get_modified_files(): Compare package file's
+ ctime and mtime against the package list file's mtime and only md5sum the
+ files that are newer. This drastically reduces the amount of md5suming
+ (usually to zero) and thus speeds up the information collection.
+ * backends/packaging-dpkg.py: Use a single hackish 'dpkg-query --show *'
+ as a portable variant of 'cat /var/lib/dpkg/status' to pre-fill the status
+ cache with all packages instead of calling dpkg -s on every single package
+ we query. This changes the time for figuring out dependencies and their
+ versions from 'unbearable for many packages' to 'barely noticeable'.
+
+ New feature: per-package apport hooks to collect additional information:

+ appropriate test cases. This provides per-package hooks for apport.
+ * apport/ui.py: Call add_hooks_info() in the information collection thread.

+ * apport/report.py: Add some more test cases for _check_interpreted() for

+ * apport/python_hook.py: Check for a correct ExecutablePath in

+ * apport/python_hook.py: Use fileutils.likely_packaged() instead of
+ checking for /tmp and home, so that we ignore stuff in /usr/local, too.
+ Closes: LP#81244
+ * apport/python_hook.py: If we figure out an ExecutablePath which is not

+ * gtk/apport-gtk: Do not show any dialogs any more when filing a bug.

+ implementations. This both makes it easy to write more frontends like Qt
+ or CLI, and also makes the code automatically testable. Add an extensive
+ testsuite.
+ * run-tests: Add ui.py testsuite.
+ * gtk/apport-gtk: Port to ui.py's UserInterface (which means moving 1/3 of
+ the code into the new ui_*() methods and throwing away the rest).
+ * Add apport/REThread.py: Enhanced threading.Thread class that can propagate

+ * gtk/apport-gtk: Use pgrep with -u instead of pidof for testing whether the

+ - Add missing close() call in init_error_log().
+ - Do not catch SystemExit in the final catch-all-and-log clause (will
+ become important once we switch to master/slave processes).
+ - Clean up handling of temporary files.
+ - Log successful report creation with file and package name, to ease
+ debugging.
+ - transitive_dependencies(): Do not break on pure virtual dependencies
+ (like perl-api-XXX).
+ * Add debian/apport.default: Default file to disable apport entirely and to
+ change the maximum size of kernel created core dumps.
+ * debian/apport.init: Evaluate new default file.

+apport (0.10) edgy; urgency=low
+
+ * apport-gtk: Show report file size in bug report window.
+ * apport: Correctly handle relative paths to core dumps (use crashed
+ process' cwd).
+ * Fix the GPL URLs in source file's copyright comments.
+ * debian/apport.cron.daily: Add -mindepth 1 to find commands to avoid
+ attempting to remove the /var/crash/ directory. Closes: LP#55107
+ * problem_report.py:
+ - Fix precise whitespace handling in continuation lines, add selftest.
+ - Add selftest for reading a report, modifying fields, and writing it
+ back.
+ - Fix writing back binary data, adapt test suite to check it.
+ - Fixed ProblemReport.load() to clean up old data, added selftest.
+ - Restructure class to inherit from IterableUserDict and throw away all
+ the now obsolete dictionary wrapper methods.
+ * debian/apport.init: Add colon to description to make output less
+ confusing.
+ * Add apport-retrace and install it into apport: This tool takes a crash
+ report and refreshes the stack traces in it. This is particularly useful
+ if debug symbols are installed now, but haven't been at the time the crash
+ occured.
