From deisenst at gtw.net Fri Jun 2 07:41:07 2006 From: deisenst at gtw.net (David Eisenstein) Date: Fri, 2 Jun 2006 02:41:07 -0500 (CDT) Subject: [Fedora-mentors-list] [Legacy] Mentoring for vulnerability bug tracking -- kernel, and general Message-ID: Hi, (Please forgive me for cross-posting, but I thought I'd post this question to all the relevant groups I could think of. Please let me know if I am committing a cross-posting felony here. :) ) I am in the process of mentoring someone to help them learn how to do vulnerability tracking for Fedora Legacy. This evening, we were looking at doing that for the kernels. We quickly got confused, though, because we weren't sure how to go about making sure we only report issues into Bugzilla that would be relevant kernel issues for Fedora Legacy at this time. One complicating factor here is that we in Legacy don't necessarily release kernels in any kind of lock-step with what either Fedora Core or Red Hat Enterprise Linux does, so the issues we have to fix are a different subset of issues than what is reported in any given RHSA or FEDORA release announcement. And even if we did release kernels in lockstep, no doubt there would still be differing CVE's per distro. (For those of you not familiar with Legacy processes: we normally put multiple CVE issues [maybe as many as dozens of CVE's] into a single bugzilla report for a given .src.rpm component; and we also put multiple distros in a given bugzilla ticket as well, using a "Version" tag of "unspecified" and tracking what distros are being worked on and their statuses via the use of Status Whiteboard entries. For more information about this, you can refer to , and the most recent completed Legacy kernel bug is here in case you're interested: .) I started to suggest to my mentee this method: Have a look at the latest release announcements from Fedora Legacy for the kernels that we maintain, and then look for issues in the usual places (e.g., those resources listed in ) that have come up since we released our latest security-fixed kernels. That would provide a list of CVE's to then put in a new Bugzilla ticket or add to an already-existing ticket that would likely be relevant. But is this enough? Does this method sound workable to you? Are we missing something? Do you have you have some better ideas how to track kernel vulnerabilities to get those vulnerabilities properly listed in a Bugzilla ticket to be worked on? A more general question is this: How do we in Fedora Legacy track vulnerabilities and make sure that we are aware of all the relevant vulnerabilities for the packages that we maintain, and haven't missed something? The fedora-security-list and Josh Bressers are using audit files to track all relevant security vulnerabilities for their sets of packages, which are kept in CVS here, but we here in Fedora Legacy haven't started using this kind of tool yet. Is it time for us to start doing so? If so, are any of you interested in forming some kind of vulnerability tracking team and getting started on such list(s) for the products we maintain? Thanks much in advance!

It seems to me that whatever system used by the Fedora Security Team should be adopted by Fedora Legacy after discussion with the relevant contributors.

What you pasted looks good, but it's incomplete. If your example is a portion of an RPM .spec file, would you attach that .spec file in a return email? That will help in analysis. In my experience with the "black art" of RPM packaging, the best way I have found to learn about it is to read RPM .spec files and to play with rpmbuild on already-existing packages made by Red Hat or others. Perhaps what you are trying to do here is a similar kind of Python packaging that is done in the python-chm library & script in Fedora Extras? I am enclosing the spec-file from "python-chm-0.8.2-2.fc5.src.rpm" from FC5 extras. Maybe it will help to study it a little bit -- or even download that .src.rpm and play with it a bit. Gnochm from FC5 extras might also be helpful to look at. You may also wish to look around on http://www.rpm.org/ -- they have an RPM FAQ as well as the "Maximum RPM" text which may help explain some more. I believe talks more about your specific question. Hope this helped, Marc.

I believe talks > > more about your specific question. As requested. I basically 'cheated' as such. I didn't list out every single file. I just used the generic '*' in the directory. I'm at the point now where I need to attach that bash script. However the bashscript is encompassed into an install file in the source. I've extracted the important bits into a bash script file which needs to be placed in /usr/bin/ so that it'll pass the command of python -OO /usr/share/rufus.py. As with the desktop file I've put it into the SOURCES folder. However reading the howto I've passed %setup -T 2 0 to try and get the source unpacked then to add the file into the folder however. I seem to get errors which is understandable. Any pointers? One of the things I couldn't find is examples of adding additional files that are not included in the actual source but not a patch. I'll have a look through all the info thats been posted and thanks for all the help thus far. In a conceptual situation. This has an MIT license and in so doing its got about 3-4 license files what is the situation with this. What I've done is allocated them as docs as you can see. They sometimes overlap however this program has had numerous different developers and also because it uses the bittorrent 1 files it has that license as well. It also has GPL licensed icons/pictures. Is that the right thing to do? I obviously don't want to mess up that section which is important to the developers. It's just with all the different licenses in it I don't know whether to base the license as MIT/GPL . Thanks so much for the information.

I am currently doing my MS in Mechanical Engineering at Univ of Missouri Rolla. I have good programming experience and can program in C, C++, Perl and Java. As a part of my work as a Graduate Research Assitant with the Dept. of Elec. Engg I administer a 4 node cluster running Fedora core 4. I currently work with PVM and MPI for programming parallel image processing applications. I am interested in helping out with the fedora-triage (bugzapper) project. Kindly tell me how I can start. I have looked at the triage guidelines page and will participate with the group next friday. If there is something I should know. Kindly mail me. Thanks, Shivakar P.S.: This is the same mail I sent to Rahul Sundaram, and got no reply. Maybe he is busy. The thing is I believe that when someones hands are itching for work, you gotta give him some work before the itching stops for high productivity (just kidding!!).
