[Bug 1960822] Re: calibre bug 1960822
calibre does not advertise handling for any ofthose file formats. I suggest you uninstall the distro based calibre and install the official binary from https://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux I have no idea what the ditro package does.

[Bug 1786617] Re: setupterm doesn't find terminfo entry in non-standard database location
Oh and reading the original bug report posted against tmux, this problem is most likely caused because the OP is running tmux in client server mode and the server runs in an environment different from the client (at machine startup). infocmp can find the kitty terminfo because kitty sets the TERMINFO env var to point to its terminfo deifnition file. That env var is likely not present in the environment in which the tmux server is started.

The pocketbook 602/901/902 and 903 share the same usb ids. Dont ask me why pocket book is stingy with usb ids. So they have the same driver in calibre. As for the main memory and card being swapped, calibre assumes that the drive with the lower disk number is the main memory.

[Bug 885027] Re: calibre bug 885027
As I have already said, in a previous response, I would be delighted if someone developed a zero config library that worked across linux distributions and BSDs to mount USB devices. What's needed is that it allow: 1) The mounting of any USB block device identified by device node to a mountpoint under /media 2) ejecting of any USB block device and the removal of the corresponding mountpoint under /media 3) It needs to be embeddable in a self contained distribution like calibre. In particular this means it must not require the application developer to tweak it, as such tweaking introduces the possibility of security holes. However, let me emphasize that these functions are already performed adequately in modern linux distributions by udisks. An implementation of such a library in python has been present in calibre in udisks.py for years. This reduces the incentive of people to work on a solution approporiate to older distributions. That is regrettable, but unavoidable. Personally, I doubt any such library will ever be developed. Given the difficulties of dealing with paths securely, the easiest route to developing it, via calls to mount and eject is closed. Which means you would essentially have to re-implement mount and eject with additional logic to allow unprivileged users access to certain classes of device. That is a huge task. At this point, people on older distributions will just have to manage their devices manually. I have taken my best shot at it, and failed. Someone else is more than welcome to pick up the gauntlet. A library like this has to be self contained, so development of it should not be part of a larger project like calibre. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/885027 Title: SUID Mount Helper has 5 Major Vulnerabilities To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/calibre/+bug/885027/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@preston: Well, let me say that if I was the one that first showed attitude, I apologize. But you have to remember that I do *all* calibre bug triage (besides doing a large part of the developement). I get to deal with lots of bug reports from people, the vast majority of which are dubious at best. In Jason's original post, only one of his five flaws seemed serious to me (the one he attached an exploit for), so that is the one I fixed. It turned out I was wrong about the mount exploit, but, from my perspective, I don't know Jason from Adam, and he has to convince me of the seriousness of his claims, merely saying they are serious is something I will ignore, from long and exhausting experience. When he did prove its seriousness to me, I tried to fix it, as best I could. You may well ask why I didn't just take his advice and abandon the mount helper. For me to do something that drastic, I must be convinced it is indeed the best course possible.

@Rosenberg: Yes, I have.

You can actually do something as simple as replacing it with a bash script that always returns an error code and does nothing else. Add udisks as a calibre dependency and calibre will automatically use udisks via DBUS when available. This will, of course, break for those users for whom udisks doesn't work for whatever reason. Whether that is a large fraction of Gentoo users or not, only you can judge. This discussion really applies only to the calibre binary download, which does no dependency resolution and is intended to *work out of the box* on a huge variety of linux systems.

[Bug 885027] Re: calibre bug 885027
I've already committed a fix for symlinks in /dev, maybe you missed my last comment. pmount will not work, I have told you why it will not work. I am not going to repeat myself. Let's recap: First note that unprivileged users cannot create symlinks in /dev on any well designed system. So symlink attacks are not actually possible, nonetheless, I have already removed the possibility of using symlinks under /dev. calibre-mount-helper currently allows an unprivileged user to: 1) Delete empty directories only under /media. I see absolutely nothing wrong with that. 2) Mount anything under /dev to anything under /media. Again I see nothing wrong with that, outside of highly system specific scenarios. Feel free to post a general purpose exploit, if you can come up with one, I can always fix it. 3) Unmount anything under /media 4) Create empty directories anywhere on the system. This can be fixed, with some effort, but I am not yet convinced it is an actual vulnerability. *) Something else courtesy of a bug. If such a thing exists, point it out and I will fix it. Just a note about all the histrionics around "critical" security exploits. calibre is designed to run mainly on end user computers (single user, typically a desktop or a laptop). On such a machine if a malicous program can run with user privileges it already has access to everything that actually matters on the system, namely the user's data. Privilege escalation would be useful only in trying to hide the traces of the intrusion. The damage is already done. Undoubtedly there are plenty of scenarios where that is not true, but the fact remains that for the vast majority of calibre users, this is a non issue.
