[PATCH v4] v2v: don't fail when virtio-win does not have qemu-ga

by Richard W.M. Jones

This is why I shouldn't program before lunchtime ... v2 & v3 omitted gettext (‘f_()’) annotations around the warning and error strings. Fixed in this version. My cover letter for v2 still applies here. Rich.

[PATCH v2] v2v: don't fail when virtio-win does not have qemu-ga

by Richard W.M. Jones

This is my version of this patch which I think improves it in a number of ways. Firstly instead of having the bare boolean parameter ‘ok_if_missing’ we pass in the function we want to call along the directory missing path. This change then allows us to print a more useful error or warning message given the context of the call, and the new message is actionable too, so the user knows what has to be done to correct the problem. The other changes are all whitespace. This is only compile tested, please see if it fixes the problem in the slow tests. Rich.

[PATCH] v2v: don't fail when virtio-win does not have qemu-ga packages

by Tomáš Golembiovský

It should not be error to use virtio-win ISO that does not have Linux packages of QEMU Guest Agent. Only oVirt/RHV guest tools ISO has such packages now. Regular virtio-win ISO does not have them and maybe never will.

nbdkit low priority security fix: TLS connections cause memory leak

by Richard W.M. Jones

As you may have seen if you've been following discussions on the mailing list, we discovered a low priority security problem with nbdkit's handling of TLS connections. If TLS is enabled without either client certificate validation or PSK, untrusted clients can connect, negotiate the TLS handshake, disconnect and leak about 14K of memory each time. So after tens of thousands to millions of connections you can leak a substantial amount of memory, likely resulting in nbdkit crashing, thus a denial of service attack. TLS is enabled by default only if certificates are available. Both client certificate validation and PSK are disabled by default. So the server can default to being vulnerable once you've created certificates, although it is probably not vulnerable in out of the box configurations because I don't know any Linux distro which is automatically creating TLS certs for nbdkit. The upstream fix is: https://github.com/libguestfs/nbdkit/commit/baf10918f94b84185a27b4bb81cf3... This has been backported to all stable branches, and is also available in the following released versions: nbdkit >= 1.9.4 nbdkit >= 1.8.2 nbdkit >= 1.6.4 nbdkit >= 1.4.4 nbdkit >= 1.2.8 all available here: http://download.libguestfs.org/nbdkit/ I'm making updated packages available for Fedora now.

[PATCH nbdkit 0/4] Multiple valgrind improvements and possible security fix.

by Richard W.M. Jones

I worked out why valgrind wasn't being applied to nbdkit when run by many of the tests (patches 1-2). Unfortunately I'm not able to make it actually fail tests when valgrind fails. Although the situation is marginally improved in that you can now manually examine the *.log files and find valgrind failures that way. Also adds valgrinding of the Python plugin (patch 3). Along the way I found that when we create a TLS session object we never free it, which is a bit of a problem (although easy to fix - patch 4). I'll need to backport this fix to every stable branch. It's not clear how exploitable this is -- it's my feeling that you'd need to open millions of TLS sessions which would take forever, and the result would only be a denial of service as nbdkit runs out of memory and crashes.

[PATCH nbdkit v3] common: Move shared bitmap code to a common library.

by Richard W.M. Jones

v2: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2018-December/msg00039.html v2 -> v3: - Fix all the issues raised in Eric's review. - Precompute some numbers to make the calculations easier. - Calculations now use bitshifts and masks in preference to division and modulo. - Clear existing bits before setting (which fixes a bug in the cache filter). Rich.

[PATCH nbdkit v2] common: Move shared bitmap code to a common library.

by Richard W.M. Jones

This is exactly the same as v1: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2018-December/msg00004.html except that it now frees the bitmap on unload (which the old code did not - there was always a memory leak). Rich.

[supermin PATCH v2 0/3] Better handle no config files

by Pino Toscano

This is a "merge" of two previous series: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2018-December/msg00015.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2018-December/msg00020.html The goal is to handle better situations like: - empty file in the appliance directory - no config files available in the packages to include in an appliance Compared to the two series, the changes are: - patch #1 has a mention of a reproducer in the commit message - patch #3 changed approach, from "create really empty" to "not create at all" Pino Toscano (3): build: ignore empty files prepare: keep config_files available for longer prepare: do not create base.tar.gz with no config files src/mode_build.ml | 7 +++- src/mode_prepare.ml | 83 +++++++++++++++++++++++++-------------------- 2 files changed, 52 insertions(+), 38 deletions(-) -- 2.17.2
