CVE-2018-13112

Current Hyperbola version is 4.2.6

Description:

Additional info:
* 0.9.10-2.hyperbola2

Steps to reproduce: Flatpak gives access to interesting features for the deployment of applications, but in fact it also gives access to proprietary applications like Skype (https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.skype.Client), Steam (https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.valvesoftware.Steam) and many more. So it should be checked if this should be part of the repositories within an open, libre distribution. In my point of view this violates the freedom of users, because there can be not tolerance about intolerance even regarding this.

Description:

I may be wrong for I did not migrate to 0.3 as of yet, but I think that `msmtp` has been forgotten and needs to be recompiled with `libressl`.

Please remove this report if I am mistaken.

Hello,

I’m unable to print some pdfs on my Hyperbola 3.0 system.
Some background :

cups is installed, service enabled and working
system-config-printer is installed and my printer has been correctly added.

I can print most pdfs and text files but recently with a pdf, it fails to print it.* And system-config-printer returned the following error (see capture) :

Printer "EPSON XP-620-Series" requires the '/usr/lib/cups/filters/epson-escpr-wrapper' but it is not currently installed.

Currently, “epson-escpr-wrapper” is installed but it is in :

/usr/libexec/cups/filters/epson-escpr-wrapper

Looking at source code of system-config-printer, it expects that wrapper to be installed in “/usr/lib/” so I tried to symlink that “epson-escpr-wrapper” to “/usr/lib/cups/filters” but it doesn’t work..

*With a Debian system and the exact same configuration, the “problematic” pdf prints just fine so it is not an issue with the pdf.

About that distro, Elementary OS is semi-libre/free, Ubuntu based, long term support, but does not comply with the GNU Free System Distributibution Guidelines (FSDG). To either rebrand or remove existing non-FSDG compliant distro icon files.

The following affected files are present in this list:

• /usr/share/icons/elementary/places/16/distributor-logo.svg
• /usr/share/icons/elementary/places/24/distributor-logo.svg
• /usr/share/icons/elementary/places/32/distributor-logo.svg

I’m writing here about the package Conky. It is the useful widget of system monitor into your desktop, but there are some serious issues:

Config variables

• distribution outputs the string “Arch Linux” instead of “Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre”.
• eve requires users to use API for non-libre/free video game EVE Online, and should be removed.
• All Beep Media Player (BMPx) related variables (including bmpx_album, bmpx_artist, bmpx_bitrate, bmpx_title, bmpx_track and bmpx_uri) are obselete and useless, and should be removed because the package BMPx isn’t present on Arch and Hyperbola official repositories but Arch User Repository (AUR).
• [For Milky Way version 0.4.x only] All PulseAudio related variables (including if_pa_sink_muted, pa_sink_volume, pa_sink_volumebar, pa_sink_description, pa_card_name and pa_card_active_profile) are no longer used, and should be removed due replaced the default audio server with sndio.

Manual

• Contains non-FDSG compliant distros.
• Contains vague terminology.
• Requires users to use API for non-libre/free weather network service(s) (including The Weather Channel).

osdbattery is (probably) useless and broken so Conky did compete because It is still unmaintained and unsupported over 14 years ago (last released version 1.4 on August 23, 2005), and should be removed per anti-abandonware rule at the packaging guidelines.

Also, the default config file contains non-libre/free Microsoft font Verdana as X11 font format property in font variable.

I know that upgrading Qt is not a trivial task, but would it be possible to do this anyway? Qt 5.8 has issues that other versions do not have. See for example the discussion here about Projecteur, a very useful tool. Hyperbola seems to be the only Linux distribution unable to run it, just because of Qt 5.8:

https://github.com/jahnf/Projecteur/issues/26

The current version of BleachBit needs to be adapted so it can clean the new .cache/hyperbola/ directory.

Qualys Security Advisory

LPE and RCE in OpenSMTPD’s default install (CVE-2020-8794)

in OpenSMTPD's (and hence OpenBSD's) default configuration. Although
OpenSMTPD listens on localhost only, by default, it does accept mail
from local users and delivers it to remote servers. If such a remote
server is controlled by an attacker (either because it is malicious or
compromised, or because of a man-in-the-middle, DNS, or BGP attack --
SMTP is not TLS-encrypted by default), then the attacker can execute
arbitrary shell commands on the vulnerable OpenSMTPD installation.

OpenSMTPD server (which accepts external mail) and send a mail that
creates a bounce. Next, when OpenSMTPD connects back to their mail
server to deliver this bounce, the attacker can exploit OpenSMTPD's
client-side vulnerability. Last, for their shell commands to be
executed, the attacker must (to the best of our knowledge) crash
OpenSMTPD and wait until it is restarted (either manually by an
administrator, or automatically by a system update or reboot).

Description: Since the migration to xenocara there seems to be a bug with applications using GTK-2. From time to time there are crashes with assertion `!xcb_xlib_threads_sequence_lost’.

Looking into this a little bit more deep there are also other distributions affected and this is an upstream-bug. But the concrete situation is not that easy, while it could be also part of the library libX11 itself. Looking therefore here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcmanfm/+bug/1782984

Affected are for example LXDE in general, icedove, iceweasel and many more!

There is only the source code of the client available and since years nothing more happened. With keybase joining “Zoom” nothing more seems to happen. Look also here in the forum: https://forums.hyperbola.info/viewtopic.php?id=368

Description: Problem with execution of “pacstrap /mnt base base-devel syslinux” from 0.3.1-chroot ISO-image with modified pacman.conf and mirrorlist for testing. There are errors for the packages “libxcrypt” and “man-pages” as both have “/usr/share/man/man3/crypt.3.gz” and “/usr”share/man/man3/crypt_r.3.gz” included.

from the, forums I have heard you plan to base your new iceweasel version from basilisk when firefox switches to web extensions completely. I am concerned about this because noscript and many other addons will no longer support legacy after this point...

I really think you are doing a disservice if you do this. I think we should personally fix the leaks that mozilla makes, the way trisquel 8 does it. I have heard they know how to fix those leaks. Or, another way forward would be to find a way that involves forking firefox esr 60 and correcting the bugs with the help of tcpdump.

Its madness to fork from basilisk because without noscript webextensions and other such addons, any benefits you get will be very small compared to what you have lost in the process.

I doubt you want to have two different versions of iceweasel esr, one that is with webext and one without. But please don’t try to use basilisk as the base for iceweasel.

I really think its a bad idea long term. Do I dislike mozilla’s new plan? Yes... of course. But do I think using basilisk will solve it? Not unless mozilla angers enough people to make their addons for basilisk instead... Which I really, really doubt very highly.

Please hear this request and don’t just close it. Rather, instead discuss it for a long time. Without noscript, firefox is immensely insecure. And Firefox’s legacy noscript version will die in the future. In the NEAR FUTURE I MIGHT ADD

Of course, there are other firefox addons I want that are webext. So yeah... Nano Adblocker, Privacy Settings, Privacy Possum/Privacy Badger, Viewtube, Decentraleyes to name a few.

I tried using Iceweasel-UXP pre-release, but I’m unable to set any different font, size and encoding, and search any words/characters within page.

Description:

I have tried all combinations, but despite “noauto” specified in /etc/fstab all devices get mounted at boot.

Who can help me, not to mount a device during boot?

recaptcha is not working on webchat.freenode.net (and probably other websites) with iceweasel-uxp (was working fine with iceweasel-esr)

https://framapic.org/ZdvYH2JCM39J/HFDSI7z0hXvS.png

Description:

-Tabs don’t have X on the right to close it.
-Download window has an issue on font.

Note: the font is smaller on Tab description and overal it is nice

Additional info:
* package version(s): iceweasel-uxp 52.9.0_20180601-8

Steps to reproduce:

Description:

glom cannot run without libgda, so it should depend on libgda package

Description:

Since the latest update of openrc, I am under the impression that the scripts in /etc/local.d are not executed anymore upon boot or shutdown. rc.log shows nothing though.

Additional info:
* openrc 0.28-18

Steps to reproduce:

Write a dummy script which says hello in /etc/local.d, make it executable and see that it is discarded.
