[Bug 1877844] Re: [SRU] data corruption issue in all versions before 1.1.11

 

xenial 16.04: upgrade from the current 1.0.12 to 1.0.13-0ubuntu1.16.04.1 (a.k.a. stock 1.0.13 + this fix cherry-picked from 1.0 maint branch)
bionic 18.04: upgrade to 1.1.14-2ubuntu18.04.1 (sorry, just the versioning in changelog was wrong!)
focal 20.04: upgrade to 1.1.14-2ubuntu20.04.1

I fixed the changelog, changed from 20 to 18 and reuploaded to bionic
(and uploaded the focal version too)

** Changed in: borgbackup (Ubuntu Focal)
       Status: Fix Released => Confirmed

** Changed in: borgbackup (Ubuntu Focal)
       Status: Confirmed => In Progress

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]
  * Data is corrupted on some specific conditions

  [ Regression Potential ]
  * Really low, the package has an autopkgtestsuite that runs thousand of tests, and the fix is since one year part of upstream code

  [ Other info ]
  Per the "important notes" section of the borg docs:

  https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/changes.html

  "Pre-1.1.11 potential index corruption / data loss issue
  A bug was discovered in our hashtable code, see issue #4829. The code is used for the client-side chunks cache and the server-side repo index.

  Although borg uses the hashtables very heavily, the index corruption
  did not happen too frequently, because it needed specific conditions
  to happen.

  Data loss required even more specific conditions, so it should be rare
  (and also detectable via borg check). [..]"

  Theoretically affects all Ubuntu releases before 20.04 (focal.)

  I know this is a universe package, but if anyone was up for an SRU
  that would be fantastic..
