Bug#849400: debian-installer: LUKS on rootfs and boot

2017-09-26 Thread Julian 1
I am affected by this as well.

Googling shows shows people experimenting with workarounds - creating an
additional unencrypted /boot partition independent of the unencrypted EFI
partition.

This is overly complicated when the subsequent install workflow already
does the correct thing - in creating a /boot partition and
kernel/initrd/grub on the EFI parition.

One just needs to be able to hint that the EFI/fat32 parition will be used
for /boot, or else simply let the user 'continue' the installation, rather
than have both 'go-back' and 'continue' return to the same menu.

I got no answer here, so I'm starting on my own, as stated above:
trying to recruit new translators for languages which are badly outdated.

Source: busybox
Version: 1:1.22.0-9
Severity: normal
Tags: security upstream patch

Hi,

the following vulnerability was published for busybox. The config
CONFIG_NTPD is not enabled by default, so this only would affect
rebuild packages. It is thus marked unimportant in the
security-tracker. Opened the bug to track the issue in BTS.

CVE-2016-6301[0]:
NTP server denial of service flaw

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.

For further information see:

This was fixed in the recent upload to unstable/sid which already
migrated to testing/buster. Since the ntpd module is not enabled in
Debian's busybox build, it's basically a change in unsued sources that
wasn't worth being mentioned in the changelog. For the same reason this
will not be handled in (old){0,2}stable.

Now closing.

Christoph

Comments/Problems:

Installing base system only and ssh-server went basically fine, but the system 
was not
bootable upon the process. Instead I had to edit the grub-entry manually and 
change the
linux-root from /dev/sdc5 --> /dev/sdb5 becuase, the USB-key from which the 
installer ran
was removed, as recommended, and thus the device-name of the filesystem-root 
changed.

This made the system bootable permanenty, without editing grub-command-line 
every time:

root@debian:/etc/grub.d# grub-mkdevicemap
root@debian:/etc/grub.d# man grub-mkdevicemap
root@debian:/etc/grub.d# ls /boot/grub

True.
I decided to structure it very similar, but avoid the copy.

That is what I meant.
It would be neat using just console=${console}, but the console variable
in u-boot is set to
console=console=ttyS0,115200useNandHal=single
which is not nice style.
So I hardcoded it  now.

Ack.
After regenerating my initrd, I managed to boot with cmdline:
console=ttyS0,115200n8 quiet
