Package management quirks

I am running kernel 5.12.10
Using drakrpm, I uninstalled cpupower 5.12.10, and selected for install the 5.10.43 variants.
Problem: it wants to install the "-latest" packages of *5.12.10* :

- cpupower-5.10.43-1.mga8.x86_64
- kernel-desktop-5.10.43-1.mga8-1-1.mga8.x86_64
- kernel-desktop-devel-5.10.43-1.mga8-1-1.mga8.x86_64
- kernel-desktop-devel-latest-5.12.10-2.mga8.x86_64
- kernel-desktop-latest-5.12.10-2.mga8.x86_64
- virtualbox-kernel-5.10.43-desktop-1.mga8-6.1.22-1.6.mga8.x86_64

Possible workaround: manually deselect the "-latest" packages
But I did not execute that, instead I disabled any backport repos and started drakrpm again:

When I select kernel-desktop-5.10.43-1.mga8, it asks to install:
- cpupower-5.12.8-1.mga8.x86_64
- kernel-desktop-5.12.8-1.mga8-1-1.mga8.x86_64
- kernel-desktop-latest-5.12.8-1.mga8.x86_64

Which is insane as they are not in an enabled repo.
It may matter this system have *had* them installed ?
 - uninstalled them before this post (after successful test of 5.12.10)

$ LC_ALL=C urpmq cpupower-5.12.8-1.mga8
No package named cpupower-5.12.8-1.mga8

( and to compare: 
$ LC_ALL=C urpmq cpupower-5.10.43-1.mga8
cpupower
 )

So why do drakrpm want to install 5.12 packages?? They are 
a) for wrong kernel version, and 
b) from a (configured but) not enabled repo.

I am leaving it here for a while if someone want me to try something.

While drakrpm shows all of the versions available, it uses just the package
name when installing, so always gets the latest version and the default arch.

To install a specific version urpmi must be used.

I try using drakrpm as that is probably what most users use...

In this second attempt i selected packages in different order, and it decided to install 5.12.8 in addition to the 5.10.43 packages i selected (i guess the -latest packages triggered that), I let it proceed and it succeeded.

  * But sure it must be a bug that drakrpm use a non active repo! *
In the menu there is a link to the media manager where repos can be enabled and disabled but then that is not obeyed!

After I let it install per above I uninstalled the 5.12.8 packages (including kernel-*-latest), and installed cpupower 5.10.43.  Using drakrpm.

Will return later with test results.

I have no idea what "pae" is

So a regression, as it did not complain before update.

> I have no idea what "pae" is

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension

In VirtualBox Settings -> System -> CPU there is a checkbox for PAE

@wilcal: "pae" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension

The default VirtualBox 32-bit cpu emulates earlier 32-bit models, without things like pae and sse2. These virtual cpus only work with our "kernel-desktop586." 

You installed "kernel-desktop," which is for newer 32-bit cpus, like the P4. You need to remove that and install "kernel-desktop586."

Mga8-64 OK here

Ah yes i believe Thomas A is correct on the kernel i586 version

I guess as usual Thomas B will decide when there is enough tests and validate, and we need an advisory, then pushed before this update is fixed... ;)

Here you installed the i686 optimized one... on unsupported hw

> Here you installed the i686 optimized one... on unsupported hw

It may be important to note that when I installed this clint about a week ago
I just used the i586 XFCE Live-DVD ISO and just let it default to whatever
kernel it choose itself. Which on the third update of the kernel resulted
in the error. Probably something that a user will rarely encounter.
But still a wrinkle none the less.

You mean it automatically selected the wrong kernel as update?

Switched from the linus kernel, which had been running without problems for 24 hours.
Kernel: 5.10.43-desktop-1.mga8 x86_64
10-Core Intel Core i9-7900X [MT MCP]
NVIDIA GP102 [GeForce GTX 1080 Ti] driver: nvidia v: 460.84

NFS shares mounted automatically.  Other network operations work.
Virtualbox runs 32-bit and 64-bit clients successfully.
Common desktop applications run OK.
Stress tests OK.
Video with vlc, pulseaudio and bluetooth audio working.

> You mean it automatically selected the wrong kernel as update?

If PAE is defaulted to be set off when you install from the Live-DVD
the installed kernel appears to be kernel-desktop-5.10.43-1.mga8-1-1.mga8.i586
I'm going to run some testing here today with PAE off and on to see which
kernel is installed.

Here's whats listed in the boot menu after install and update:

5.10.43-desktop-1.mga8
5.10.41-desktop-1.mga8
5.10.16-desktop-1.mga8

But here's what the Live-DVD looks like when booted live and not installed:

PAE/NX off (default)
LiveDVD: 5.10.16-desktop586-1.mga8

PAE/NX on
LiveDVD: 5.10.16-desktop586-1.mga8

Kernel: 5.10.43-desktop-1.mga7 x86_64
Quad Core: Intel Core i7-4790 type: MT MCP
NVIDIA GM204 [GeForce GTX 970] driver: nvidia v: 460.80
Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet 
  driver: r8169 

Mate desktop running fine.  NFS shares already mounted after reboot.
Sound and video OK.  Virtualbox running well.

> when you install from the Live-DVD

The Live installer more or less copies its content *) to the target, and it has the more compatible kernel.

*) including any settings, changes and updates made, user files added...

  This kernel update is based on upstream 5.10.43 and fixes atleast the
  following security issues:

  The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and
  WPA3) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that received
  fragments be cleared from memory after (re)connecting to a network. Under
  the right circumstances, when another device sends fragmented frames
  encrypted using WEP, CCMP, or GCMP, this can be abused to inject arbitrary
  network packets and/or exfiltrate user data (CVE-2020-24586).

  The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and
  WPA3) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that all fragments
  of a frame are encrypted under the same key. An adversary can abuse this to
  decrypt selected fragments when another device sends fragmented frames and
  the WEP, CCMP, or GCMP encryption key is periodically renewed
  (CVE-2020-24587).

  The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and
  WPA3) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that the A-MSDU
  flag in the plaintext QoS header field is authenticated. Against devices
  that support receiving non-SSP A-MSDU frames (which is mandatory as part
  of 802.11n), an adversary can abuse this to inject arbitrary network
  packets (CVE-2020-24588).

  An issue was discovered in the kernel. An Access Point (AP) forwards EAPOL
  frames to other clients even though the sender has not yet successfully
  authenticated to the AP. This might be abused in projected Wi-Fi networks
  to launch denial-of-service attacks against connected clients and makes
  it easier to exploit other vulnerabilities in connected clients
  (CVE-2020-26139).

  An issue was discovered in the kernel ath10k driver. The Wi-Fi
  implementation does not verify the Message Integrity Check (authenticity)
  of fragmented TKIP frames. An adversary can abuse this to inject and
  possibly decrypt packets in WPA or WPA2 networks that support the TKIP
  data-confidentiality protocol (CVE-2020-26141). 
  
  An issue was discovered in the kernel ath10k driver. The WEP, WPA, WPA2,
  and WPA3 implementations accept second (or subsequent) broadcast fragments
  even when sent in plaintext and process them as full unfragmented frames.
  An adversary can abuse this to inject arbitrary network packets independent
  of the network configuration (CVE-2020-26145).

  An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 5.8.9. The WEP, WPA, WPA2, and
  WPA3 implementations reassemble fragments even though some of them were
  sent in plaintext. This vulnerability can be abused to inject packets and/
  or exfiltrate selected fragments when another device sends fragmented
  frames and the WEP, CCMP, or GCMP data-confidentiality protocol is used
  (CVE-2020-26147).

  A use after free vulnerability has been found in the hci_sock_bound_ioctl()
  function of the Linux kernel. It can allow attackers to corrupt kernel
  heaps (kmalloc-8k to be specific) and adopt further exploitations
  (CVE-2021-3573).

  There is a null pointer dereference in llcp_sock_getname in net/nfc/
  llcp_sock.c of the Linux kernel. An unprivileged user can trigger this bug
  and cause denial of service (CVE-2021-3587).

  There is a guest triggered use-after-free in Linux xen-netback. A malicious
  or buggy network PV frontend can force Linux netback to disable the
  interface and terminate the receive kernel thread associated with queue 0
  in response to the frontend sending a malformed packet. Such kernel thread
  termination will lead to a use-after-free in Linux netback when the backend
  is destroyed, as the kernel thread associated with queue 0 will have already
  exited and thus the call to kthread_stop will be performed against a stale
  pointer. A malicious or buggy frontend driver can trigger a dom0 crash.
  Privilege escalation and information leaks cannot be ruled out.
  (CVE-2021-28691 / XSA-374).

  Other fixes in this update:
  - bpf: Forbid trampoline attach for functions with variable arguments
  - bpf: Add deny list of btf ids check for tracing programs
  - net/nfc/rawsock.c: fix a permission check bug
  - proc: Track /proc/$pid/attr/ opener mm_struct
  - RDS tcp loopback connection can hang
