Furthermore, as OpenSSL symbols aren't versioned, this will lead to
random crashes if a binary ends up being linked to both version, won't
it?

308 bugs are too many.
Starting from next week send a few warning emails to the maintainers,
then we will see.

Next time, please give us at least a three-days advance warning...

Is there any chances of versioning openssl symbols properly?

I am not asking for 0.9.7 and 0.9.8 to coexist (although versioned symbols
would make that trivial), but PLEASE version the symbols.

Suggested version tag: OPENSSL_0_9_8

this seems to me like something that would qualify as a "significant
transition", and i'm wondering why this was not announced ahead of time?
i don't think it's good practice to upload anything that breaks over
300 packages in debian without at least some preliminary
announcement/discussion.

and furthermore, there are some of us who have been quietly waiting for
things to settle down from the previous major transitions before doing
our own, at the request of the release team.


sean

ps - i'd also like to second the request for symbol versioning.

Sure. As long as it is versioned and the version changes with the ABI, I
will be very happy :-)

I'm only following d-d-a, -private, and -devel, but that only partly,

minor point, but in the name of consistency could we use version tags of
the form OPENSSL_0.9.8, matching e.g. GLIBC_2.0 , etc.

You are right - as so often.

People are still required to speak with the release team first. But some
people prefer to make all of our life harder then necessary.

Please again: If someone wants to make any transition, please speak
*first* with the release team. Do not just assume you can upload just
anything. We really want to finish the c++-abi-transition first.



Cheers,
Andi

Oh crap!

OpenSSL *must* version its symbols, it is the kind of lib that ends up
linked to libs that end up linked into other libs or even worse, end up in
nsswitch modules and thus shadow-linked to every dang thing in the system.

Sorry for that. I missed the message about not doing library
transitions. My fault. But I also do not really understand why so many
packages need to be rebuild since libssl0.9.7 will be in the archive
too. We had the same scheme with libssl0.9.6 and libssl0.9.7. Sarge
released with some packages still linked against libssl0.9.6. Only the
new to build packages link against the new library.

I however understand the problem with different libraries linked against
different versions of openssl. But I don't think that versioning the
symbols in Debian alone would be such a good idea. Than we would be
incompatible with other distributions. All LSB connected distros should
do it the same way.

Release team: If you think it would be the right thing to remove openssl
0.9.8 from sid, feel free to do it. I did the update, because a lot of
people bugged me about the new version and upstream only recommends this
version. It also closes a grave security bug.

Hm, that wasn't listed in the changelog. Anyway, there hasn't been a security
advisory about openssl recently, did you backport a patch to the sarge version
(and prefereably also, to the woody version) and informed the security team? I
noticed you just requested help for maintaining openssl, so I can imagine that
it's been hard to find to come up with a patch, but it would at least be
beneficial to at least document such security issues, by informing security
team, filing an RC bug on your own package, and mentioning the CVE ID (or at
the very least, a short description of the bug fixed) in your changelog entry.

Thanks,

Christoph is probably referring to CAN-2005-2946 and bug #314465, which is about
the fact that MD5 is the default digest algo in openssl.
This bug has an inflated severity, it's not overly urgent. There have been several
collision attacks on MD5 (i.e. you can create a foo/bar pair, which share a
common hash), but no second preimage attacks have been demonstrated so
far (i.e. creating a bar, which shares a hash with a given foo).
Several exploits have been derived from the basic collision attacks, though, (google
for Kaminski or Daum/Lucks for some cool demonstrations), but it's not as grave
as it might appear. Upgrading to SHA-1 is still a good idea, of course, but no
need to break things more than necessary.

Cheers,
Moritz

Well, only in one direction if I remember my versioning rules correctly.
Consider the following cases:
* binary built against unversioned libssl from other distro, running with
versioned libssl on Debian
Breaks because it can't find the symbols.
* binary built against versioned libssl on Debian, running with unversioned
libssl on other distro
Works, because if it can't find a versioned symbol, it tries the unversioned
symbol.

This can be fixed even more by keeping available one version of libssl with
unversioned symbols, and versioning the symbols on all other versions. Then
binaries from other distros will work as long as the unversioned-symbol
version is available (and compatible, of course).

At least in my testing, binaries built against an unversioned library work
fine with a versioned library. Maybe I wasn't testing properly?

You are correct, they work just fine. DEPENDING on the version of ld.so,
you might get a helpful warning, but that's about it.

Yes, but to public knowledge they're only feasible with government grade
hardware, while MD5 is subject to attacks with much lower complexity.

There might be an AES-like competition for the next-gen hash in 2006, but
I'm not sure if it has been decided yet.

I am going to hold out and wait at least a week. I want to know what the
release team will do re. 0.9.8.

PLEASE, let's take the opportunity to enable symbol versioning. That way,
there will NOT be any need for a new transition when 0.9.9 is out.

It is documented in bug #314465. But it is not really a bug which you
can fix by backporting. It's about MD5 hashes being insecure. I talked
with upstream about the issue and follow their arguments:

>The default digest in 0.9.8 and the cvs head is SHA-1
>(we didn't change 0.9.7 as we didn't want to break existing
>implementations depending on the default digest being MD5).

The bug had been release critical and has the security tag. I downgraded
it to get the last 0.9.7 version into testing before uploading 0.9.8.

Upstream might want a foolproof way to detect whether it should version
symbols or not (I suspect that when using libtool this is a no brainer: tell
libtool to version, and if the platform can't version, it should simply
ignore the request).

Debian can and often does lead the other distros re. versioned symbols. It
is very troubling that openssl is still unversioned, and thus we have to
transition a lot of packages every time a new openssl hits the archive, OR
risk segfaults everywhere.

We're already doing it for libpng, as no one else seemed interested in
properly version the symbols. There haven't been any issues reported so

There is nothing one can stop anymore. It will be tied with the

Actually, as long as the dynamic linker understands versioned symbols,
either combination works. If an unversioned symbol is found it as
matched against the oldest version available. Not always right
ofcourse, but no worse than without versioning.

The problem would be if two different groups go and version the
symbols in a different way (OPENSSL_0.9.8 vs OPENSSL_0_9_8). But as
long as we're the only people versioning, there's no problem. If it
becomes an issue we can add their version names to our libraries.

I will repeat myself once: just hunt down and email the openssl maintainers
for: SuSE, RH/Fedora, Mandriva, Gentoo, plus upstream, with the explanation
of why we versioned the symbols and the patch (and YES, I can write the
explanation if anyone needs it).

They won't set a different symbol if you use something that Solaris will
also accept (upstream) or that looks sane (other distros). Probably most
will apply the patch.

Information about Solaris is easy to find, and appears to be exactly the
same as what is done in Linux, other than they have preferred namespaces:
http://www.usenix.org/publications/...rowndavid_html/

Other distros will soon notice (and there is no reason why you can't email
them directly, either) when the biggest ones start versioning symbols, and
the next edition of the LSB will pick it up if all major players deployed
it.

Well, it's not that MD5 is secure in 0.9.8, it's just that the default hash
has been changed. So changing /etc/openssl.cnf's "default_md = md5" to
"default_md = sha1" would have the same effect, as sha1 is already present
in 0.9.7; only the more complex SHA variants have been introduced in 0.9.8.

What ever happened to libpng upstream's bizarre plan to hand-mangle symbol
names in lieu of versioning? If they're not doing that, then someone
(like... the maintainer ;) should bludgeon them into accepting a patch for
real symbol versioning...

How? I don't see any openssl097 source package in the archive, only openssl
and openssl096. If it is your intention to upload an openssl097 source
package, please do so ASAP (preferably *before* libssl0.9.7 is removed from
unstable via rene!), and please tell maintainers that they should *not* be
transitioning to libssl0.9.8 at this time. There are probably many packages
that can safely be migrated to libssl0.9.8, but there are a large number of
other packages, which no one has made a list of, which will have a cascade
effect on segfaults related to other transitions if they are rebuilt now
against a libssl0.9.8 that doesn't have versioned symbols.

We would be only unidirectionally incompatible with other distros, in the
same way that we would be incompatible distros that shipped an older version
of libssl0.9.8 which was missing a newly-added symbol but was otherwise
ABI-compatible.

> All LSB connected distros should do it the same way.


Yes, they certainly should. Maintainers that implement versioned symbols
for libraries are always encouraged to submit patches upstream.

I don't think it makes much sense to remove the package from sid once it's
been uploaded, but please see above for my concerns on how we handle this
going forward.

They're planning to do that for the next major libpng version only. At
the time the patch was included in Debian, neither upstream nor other

I have a better idea, then; how about if they just never have new major
versions of libpng, ever again? The last two soname changes were in fact
total bullshit, and judging by past events I can see them using symbol
versioning as an *excuse* to change an soname, which would be the most
ironically counterproductive option available to them...

Or, for something that has a modicum of chance of png upstream accepting,
why not telling us (d-devel) about a supposed upcoming version change a week
before they release it, so that we can tell them they are smoking crack and
fix the error before it hits the wild if that's the case?
