Re: [Cooker] 9.2 ISOs has been sent
There is a thread on the club announcement that says that the final iso's will not be released to club members and contributers until Oct. 15? An that it will be via bit torrent? Is this true? Why so long? Why bit torrent? When and where will the contribs be released? On September 24, 2003 04:32 am, Warly wrote: Which means that if no major critical bugs are found in the next few days, it will be considered as final. Thanks to all who have participated in 9.21, the mandrake linux distribution is becoming more and more a community project, and I am really happy with that. When we will be sure these ISOs are really final, that is to say by the end of next week, club members and contributors should have exclusive access to the download edition ISOs. For others ISOs will be freely available worldwide by the end of october.

[Cooker] [Mandrake 10] Replacing proftpd by pureftpd ?
apparently, a lot of security flaws have been discovered in proftpd, and some people say there could be a lot other ones (like in wu-ftpd). What about repacing proftpd by pureftpd in the next Mandrake release, as the defaukt ftp server ? It is easy to install and has a reputation to be very secure. WDYT ? Eric

[Cooker] Post 9.2 urpmi security suggestion/question
History.. A couple years ago I left MSWormOS behind, and jumped to Mandrake Linux. Back on Lose98, everything effectively ran as root. Since switching, I've been a good boy and learned NOT to run stuff as root, except where necessary. With that in mind, I've become increasingly uncomfortable running urpmi, downloads and all, from root. I don't surf the web as root, and for good reason, I expect most will agree. I understand the need for root for the installation steps, but why must the files be downloaded as root? That seems like far less than a secure solution, from here. Having been on this list a bit over a full release cycle now, I've waited for this to come up, as I was SURE I was missing something obvious and if I just kept quite someone else would raise the issue and I'd be able to learn.. However, that hasn't happened, and at the expense of looking foolish for overlooking the obvious, I'm now raising the issue, as I'm becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the current situation. Looking over the current situation, with urpmi requiring root, while some other safer functions such as urpmq are available for use as a user, and with what I've managed to understand from other packages and what runs as root and what doesn't in the rest of the distrib, I've come up with a proposed solution, that of running only the install functions as root, with the rest of the procedure, particularly the downloads, handled as an ordinary user. 1) Split urpmi into two different steps. A normal user privileged step would query the rpmdb for current versions, figure out the updates available, and download them. A second step requiring root would then do the actual installs. 2) Create an urpmi user account to execute the first step and own the local hdlists, config files, and caches. This would keep update functionality separate and prevent possible security issues with basically everything else the (human) user might be running having access to the updates in process, if this step were to be handled by a normal user account operating non-core and possibly not completely trusted applications. 3) Set up the rest of the urpm* family (.update, .add/remove-media, etc.) to use the same user. 4) Set up the main urpmi script such that when invoked as it is now (must be root) it runs urpmi-user portion first, waiting for it to complete, then runs the root-user portion. Discussion: Some may argue that this won't provide any more security anyway, as any interference could just be done to the downloaded packages instead. While this might be true as far as the package data itself goes, it doesn't see the larger possibilities for mischief. 1) If there exists a vuln in curl or wget, it might be possible to trigger arbitrary execution of code with a specially designed packet inserted into the d/l stream. It's possible a third party could insert this, so it wouldn't have to be the ideally trustworthy mirror server. Should this occur, it'd be far better for said execution to run as an unprivileged user than as root itself. 2) Packages are now for the most part signed, such that direct interference with them would be detectable. Thus, that's less possible, as would be interference with them from an execution vuln in ordered to get more privileges during the install phase. 3) That has the effect of limiting security issues to (1), arbitrary code execution during the d/l, which as I said, is far better limited to a non-privileged user than running as unrestricted root. I still have a difficult time believing I'm the first one to see this, which means I'm probably missing something obvious. However, in contemplating this issue, I haven't stumbled upon it in several months, so either this is the better security solution I believe it to be (and is as practical to implement as I suppose it should be), or it's going to take someone else to explain to me what I am missing. g In either case, here's the suggestion, for what it's worth. It's pretty much the beginning of a new development cycle, so probably as good a time as it gets, to post this. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.

http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5942 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-25-09 12:29 --- Ah... this is what happened: * the partition hda5 was created as the root partition * all pre-existing partitions number 5 and up were incremented in number * swap was allocated at the end, at hda11 (see also my bug report #5943) * /usr was allocated at the end, at hda12 Now, am I mistaken, or is it plain weird that the root partition was created as the first extended partition? Shouldn't it have been at the end, along with the other partitions? Its sequence number does not matter much, at best its physicial location, right? Please note that hda5, hda11 and hda12 share space that was acquired from hda2, and that lies outside the region of the extended partition. It works, but it scares me somewhat. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. --- Reminder: --- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: I just installed MDK 9.2-rc2 on a system with more Linux and Windows partitions on it.

Diskdrake correctly allocated new partitions and even worked close-to-intuitive, but it did manage to renumber partitions 5 and up, so that other installations got frustrated. I suppose it was the intention to avoid that, having seen that the new partitions are allocated high-end numbers (hda11, hda12).

a lot is wrong.. one was found, and it only can be exploited if someone
can put a certain type of file on the site so they can download it again (to
exploit the whole). One hole.
There have been some in the past, yes, but hey... we're still shipping
openssh and sendmail, aren't we? =)
I think proftpd is a good ftp server. pure-ftpd is good too, but if you
want secure, let's use vsftpd only. Can't get anymore secure than that.

I've tried to upgrade from initscripts-7.06-31mdk.i586.rpm to initscripts-7.06-32mdk.i586.rpm by running: urpmi --auto-select in a KDE Konsole window After the package downloaded, XFree86 and KDE were suddenly killed and I was dropped to runlevel 3 login screen. After login, I noticed that the package Initscripts was not installed (neither the older nor the newer package...). As a consequence, I was left without network too (and /etc/init.d/network was missing...). [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# runlevel unknown [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# ping 212.11.15.37 network unreachable Luckily I configured and alias urpmi=urpmi --noclean, so I found the package under /var/cache/urpmi/rpms and installed initscripts-7.06-32mdk.i586.rpm. However, /etc/inittab now contained the line id:3:initdefault: while before the upgrade the default runlevel was 5... -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I used the split my Windows partition option to split hda2 among Windows and MDK. There was no hda3, but hda4 was extended and had several more partitions. Diskdrake correctly allocated new partitions and even worked close-to-intuitive, but it did manage to renumber partitions 5 and up, so that other installations got frustrated. I suppose it was the intention to avoid that, having seen that the new partitions are allocated high-end numbers (hda11, hda12).
