[Bug 512110] Re: gssd regression, "Program lacks support for encryption type"

2010-05-06 Thread J. Bruce Fields
"the NFS folks have have multiple years to implement something stronger than 
DES. Unlike with
OpenAFS, the protocol has been quite clear; it's purely a matter of writing 
code."

Yeah, the code is finally merged for 2.6.35, but that took longer than
it should.  (If you know anyone interested in funding NFS security
work)

"We're adding an API to krb5 to fix this for OpenAFS. Because of the way
the API is constructed, it's very difficult for GSSD to actually call
it."

Do you have a pointer to the details?

[Bug 503467] [NEW] vmbuilder default account not well-documented

2010-01-05 Thread J. Bruce Fields
*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

Binary package hint: python-vm-builder

I created a new kvm guest using vmbuilder (following, if I remember
correctly, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/CreateGuests and/or
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JeOSVMBuilder), put it on the net
without noticing that it had created a default account (with user and
password both "ubuntu") and promptly got hacked by somebody running an
ssh scanner.  (I never needed a default account myself since I depended
on the --ssh-key option to log me in to the new guest.)

OK, my mistake: something as simple as "ls /home" would probably have
been enough to alert me to the problem; and
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JeOSVMBuilder does mention the default
at some point (though not very prominently).

In my defense: vmbuilder appeared to be the preferred way to create kvm
guests from the commandline, and it's somewhat surprising that it would
by default create guests that were unsafe to put on the network.

Since this appears to be a property of one of the included templates,
not of vmbuilder itself, I'm not sure where this is best documented.

The ideal might be if vmbuilder could warn the user about the default
and require positive confirmation before proceeding ("are you sure you
want this (y/n)?").

** Affects: vm-builder (Ubuntu)
 Importance: Undecided
 Status: New

** Visibility changed to: Public

[Bug 313575] Re: VMBuilder/vm.py crash on an alpha char in numeric constant

2009-10-01 Thread J. Bruce Fields
By trial and error I found a minimal commandline that would reproduce
the problem for me was: "vmbuilder kvm ubuntu --ip=141.212.112.9"
