[Bug 1441388] Re: numactl crashes with segfault

2015-06-04 Thread Daniel J Blueman
I have tested both the 14.04 and 14.10 packages [1], and they work
great.

Splendid work, Chris!

2015-04-07 Thread Daniel J Blueman
A CVE hasn't been assigned.

Presumably an attacker could manipulate the environment before an
application's libnuma call to have the uninitialised pointer point to
information in memory they'd like to extract, or cause a denial.

If an application that gained privileges (capabilities, setuid etc) uses
libnuma, this may allow access to move privileged data.

That said, probably it would only be libvirt:

$ apt-cache rdepends libnuma1
libnuma1
Reverse Depends:
  libvirt0
  libvirt-bin
  libhwloc5
  libvirt0
  libvirt-bin
  libnuma1:i386
  libnuma1:i386
  crafty
  rt-tests
  procenv
  numactl
  libhwloc5
  libvirt0
  libvirt-bin
  libnuma-dev
  libnuma-dbg
  irqbalance

[Bug 1441388] [NEW] numactl crashes with segfault

2015-04-07 Thread Daniel J Blueman
Public bug reported:

numactl sometimes crashes when enumerating hardware:

root@node1:~# numactl --hardware
available: 648 nodes (0-647)
Segmentation fault

Further analysis shows that libnuma is using an uninitialised pointer,
which value depends on program layout. When layout is sufficiently
different, the pointer is non-NULL and the library parses the data
pointed to as a bitmap, crashing.

Therefore, it is possible to leverage this in an exploit.

I have fixed the issue upstream:
https://github.com/numactl/numactl/commit/6a7c2cf3f00e32082a1ada300cc585740e2b4bbd

** Affects: numactl (Ubuntu)
 Importance: Undecided
 Status: New

[Bug 40189] Re: autofs needs to be restarted to pick up some shares

2009-11-10 Thread Daniel J Blueman
This bug is still at large in Ubuntu 9.10, as observed on the desktop
x86-64 variant.

This may not be reproducible with 'static' configurations where the
automount tables are configured in files, but when they are specified in
nsswitch.conf as 'automount: ldap', this fails to initialise -
restarting the autofs service is needed.

If needed, let me know what area of detail is required to reproduce
this.

[Bug 74164] Re: Request ntp-servers by default

2009-03-24 Thread Daniel J Blueman
I can confirm this works as expected with the updated dhcpd3-common and
-client packages from Jonathan's PPA - the DHCP lease now has the 'ntp-
servers' option [1], consequently NTP has picked it up [2].

What else do we need to move this to the next step?

[Bug 74164] Re: Request ntp-servers by default

2009-03-23 Thread Daniel J Blueman
Re-testing this situation on jaunty alpha 6 in an enterprise environment
with a Microsoft DHCP server, it's still not addressed.

The situation is therefore, one of:
 - NTP syncs to ntp.ubuntu.com and silently maintains a constant offset from 
our local timeserver
 - NTP tries to sync to ntp.ubuntu.com, but is blocked by our firewall (the 
case here), and time silently diverges

I feel this is more important than 'wishlist' though.

[Bug 234302] Re: ipmitool console session crashed with SIGSEGV

Hi Chuck,

I tested your PPA's 'ipmitool_1.8.8-3.1ubuntu1~ppa1_amd64.deb' package
on intrepid 8.10 amd64, and found that when I enter SOL mode [1], no
further input is accepted.

The same test with ipmitool 1.8.9-1 (in the repos) works fine. Let me
know for further testing...

This is the 'none' cipher patch:

Since security is so critical, perhaps we should defer judgement to the
OpenSSH mailing lists?

[Bug 54180] Re: [rfe] sshd ought to support 'none' cipher

2008-11-11 Thread Daniel J Blueman
Problem is that SSH performance is still 10-30x slower with encryption.
On a 3.6GHz Intel Penryn with plenty of memory bandwidth [1], we see
around 67MB/s - 109MB/s [2]. Moving from 'secret' aes-128-cbc (the
default) to 'top-secret' aes-256-cbc (the most secure) is almost free.

Moving from MD5 hashing reduces performance too [3].

[Bug 74164] Re: Request ntp-servers by default

Incidentally, we should be requesting 'nis-servers' too, in case that
needs to be configured for the environment, eg where on a different
network segment, thus broadcasting for it won't find it.

Indeed it is true - we don't need 'default ntp-servers xyz' in
/etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf, since the defaults in /etc/ntp.conf will be
used, as /etc/ntp.conf.dhcp won't be created. That's half the changes
then...

[Bug 74164] Re: Request ntp-servers by default

2008-05-24 Thread Daniel J Blueman
The fix for this, and obvious intended behaviour is:

 - add 'ntp-servers' to the 'request' directive in /etc/dhcpd3/dhclient.conf
 - add 'default ntp-servers 91.189.94.4' (ntp.ubuntu.com) to 
/etc/dhcpd3/dhclient.conf

I confirm that where the DHCP server doesn't pass the 'ntp-servers'
option, the default is used and written to /etc/ntp.conf.dhcp, which is
then used by ntpd (and otherwise).

It would clearly be more ideal to use 'ntp.ubuntu.com' rather than it's
IP address, but it is the lesser of the two evils, since firewalls may
prevent contacting external NTP servers, causing clock drift and
subsequent NFS issues (eg with 'make'). For this reason, I request that
this report is escalated to a bug, rather than wishlist.

This is readily reproducible with Ubuntu 8.04 HH with stock
installation, and dhcp3-client 3.0.6.dfsg-1ubuntu9.
