Description David Walser 2014-02-18 19:40:10 CET
Fedora has issued an advisory on February 1:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/package-announce/2014-February/128409.html

They fixed the issues by upgrading to 7.1.8 (which fixes CVE-2014-0037) and adding an additional patch (which fixes CVE-2014-0079):
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/zarafa.git/tree/zarafa-7.1.8-nullptr.patch?h=f20

Mageia 3 and Mageia 4 are also affected.

Comment 1 Oden Eriksson 2014-02-19 09:52:47 CET
Would it work to backport zarafa-7.1.8-2.mga5.src.rpm to mga3 and mga4?

Comment 2 David Walser 2014-02-19 15:12:28 CET
I'd have no objection, and it would certainly seem the easiest thing to do, especially given CVE-2014-0037.  I'd like to hear from the maintainer on this, since this package actually has a maintainer who's good about staying on top of his packages, but I haven't seen Thomas in a while, which is unusual.  Maybe give him a few days to respond and go ahead with it if he doesn't?  I guess the biggest problem is that these are critical vulnerabilities so we shouldn't wait too long.  Personally I know nothing about this package, but if you do and you feel comfortable with updating it, I'd say go for it.
Comment 4 David Walser 2014-02-19 18:02:47 CET
That's cool.  Might as well backport it then.

Thomas says he'll address this at the end of the week.  He's on vacation.

Comment 6 Thomas Spuhler 2014-02-24 05:15:33 CET
I have updated cauldron, maga3 and mga4.
Mage3 and mga4 zarafa have versin 7.1.8 in updates testing (svn 44004)
zarafa's website states for svn44004:
ZCP 7.1.8 final-R1 [44004]
===============================
This release is an emergency release. The main focus of this release is the menory leak in the Zarafa-search service. This issue has been address by this release. Alongside we also included two other fixes.

=== Backend ===
ZCP-12062	Search memory leak introduced in 7.1.8
ZCP-12019	Dagent creates much more fallback deliveries than in 7.1.7

=== Archiver ===
ARCH-333	Za-aclsync and za-aclset utilities are broken and give tracebacks.

This version fixes all issues in the description. I haven't done any testing. I never used this program. I think I originally imported it because it was a (build) "Requires" for a package which I used. We may need to rebuild that package as well. Is there wa way to find a package that has a Buildrequires for one of the provided zarafa packages of the list below:

zarafa-webaccess-7.1.8-1.mga5.noarch.rpm

Comment 7 David Walser 2014-02-24 14:00:33 CET
Only php-mapi and python-MAPI have the library as a runtime dependency, so it's probably just those.  Since the major number of the library hasn't changed, they *shouldn't* need to be rebuilt.

Advisory:
========================

Updated zarafa packages fix security vulnerabilities:

Robert Scheck discovered multiple vulnerabilities in Zarafa that could
allow a remote unauthenticated attacker to crash the zarafa-server
daemon, preventing access to any other legitimate Zarafa users
(CVE-2014-0037, CVE-2014-0079).

Oh, the mapi packages are from this SRPM.  The Sophie bot says nothing BuildRequires libzarafa-devel.

First time we've tested this one, there are some packaging issues.

Comment 11 David Walser 2014-02-25 12:37:39 CET
This is strange.  Taking a quick look at the Cauldron spec, the common package has the appropriate useradd macro in %pre, and the other packages Require the common package, so the zarafa user should exist.  It would be nice to see it using the appropriate service macros instead of calling service and chkconfig directly, but that's a different issue.
Comment 12 Thomas Backlund 2014-02-25 15:05:29 CET
the other packages would need to have Requires(pre) on the common package so it's ensured to be installed before all other packages, otherwise it will just depend on pure luck how the transaction ordering goes

Unless there's a dependency loop, if it's required, it should be installed first.  Requires(pre) is for things that are needed specifically by %pre scriplets.
Comment 14 David Walser 2014-02-25 16:54:23 CET
And indeed zarafa-common is installed first, but even it's complaining about user zarafa not existing, and it's the one creating it.

I think this is what's happening.  %pre common has:
%_pre_groupadd %{name}
%_pre_useradd %{name} %{_localstatedir}/lib/%{name} /sbin/nologin

As you can see in Claire's output, it complains that *group* zarafa already exists.  I think at that point, it's failing the %pre scriplet and not even running the useradd command.  Furthermore, useradd -U (which pre_useradd uses) creates a group by the same name as the user it's creating, so the pre_groupadd call *should not be needed.*  I think the solution is to remove it.
Comment 15 Thomas Spuhler 2014-02-25 19:57:16 CET
I am glad to remove it if this is what is needed. Strangely, it has been there since importing the package from Mandriva and maybe long before.
Is anybody actually using it or should we drop it in mga5?

I made this change in Cauldron and will test it as soon as it appears on the mirrors. Fedora has a different approach that may work better. I will test that locally, but it will take about 3 hours to build on my vbox.
Comment 17 David Walser 2014-02-25 21:30:00 CET
Thomas, this commit is wrong:
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/zarafa/current/SPECS/zarafa.spec?r1=597152&r2=597158

You lost the "%pre common" so now the code is being run in the build system in %install.

Also, you should just leave the Mageia %_pre_useradd macro rather than doing it Fedora's way.

Send a message to the dev mailing list.  If nobody is interested in it and you don't want to maintain it anymore, we can drop it.
Comment 19 David Walser 2014-02-26 00:49:50 CET
Thomas has fixed this for Mageia 3 and Mageia 4.  I assume he'll fix Cauldron shortly.

Updated SRPMS:
zarafa-7.1.8-1.1.mga3.src.rpm
zarafa-7.1.8-1.1.mga4.src.rpm

I removed %_pre_groupadd %{name} and the pacakge is now in upgrade testing with subrel 1

Agree but %_pre_groupadd macro should be fixed.

Fixed how?  I believe it does what it's intended to do, it just isn't meant to be used for the type of case it was being used in this package.  Maybe it shouldn't barf if the group already exists though.

Nope. "Requires" only guarantees same transaction, not ordering

Normally yes, 
but we also use it to notify urpmi of wanted transaction order.

So I guess jbj, the author of RPM doesn't know what he's talking about then.

That's not a zarafa issue, apparently that's how our standard macros work.

Testing complete on Mageia 3 i586. Confirmed that a clean install now does
create the user properly.

After editing /etc/zarafa/server.cfg to add the mysql root password, the
