net-misc/proxychains-4.8.1 fails to establish a tunnel for Kmail when launched with kdeinit4. It still works fine with konqueror, but will not work with kdepim-meta-4.4.11.1-r1 and Kmail-1.13.7, or Knode-4.4.11.1 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. '/usr/bin/proxychains kdeinit4' 2. Launch kmail 3. Try to connect to a mailserver Actual Results: Kmail hangs and will not connect. netstat does not show any connections being set up by kmail and the ssh proxy server shows no outgoing connections to the IMAP4 server. Other KDE applications e.g. konsole will not connect either, unless called individually with proxychains; i.e. 'proxychains konsole' works, but launching konsole after 'proxychains kdeinit4' doesn't. Strangely, Konqueror-4.14.3 works fine connecting through the tunnel. Other non-KDE browsers like firefox work fine when launched separately with proxychains. Cancelling the proxychains kdeinit4 incantation and closing the terminal does not release Kmail, nor is closing Kmail and restarting it. Expected Results: Previous stable version worked fine. I expect kmail to be able to connect via the tunnel, after launching 'proxychains kdeinit4' as it was doing until recently. Please let me know if you can confirm this problem, if there is anything else I could try, or you need more information. -- Regards, Mick
Tried the same on a different box with Kmail2. Proxychains failed to set up a tunnel to connect to an IMAP server. Kmail2 ignored proxychains and tried to connect directly to the mailserver from the local machine. -- Regards, Mick
I filled a version bump request due to CVE-2015-3887: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=550936 I will test and confirm if this problem remains when the 4.9 version is pushed to the main tree. Regards, -- Mick
4.10 is in the tree.
(In reply to Tim Harder from comment #3) > 4.10 is in the tree. Thank you Tim, I just tried 4.10 and it fails to set up a tunnel when called as: proxychains kdeinit4 Other programs like mutt have no problem getting out through the tunnel. So I'm assuming this is something to do with kdeinit4 ... :-/
Gents, I just checked with proxychains-4.7 from the attic. I used the proxychains-4.8.1-makefile.patch, I hope that's OK. It fails to connect through the tunnel in the same fashion. So it probably has something to do with changes introduced on kde. If this is true, then the title of this bug is incorrect. -- Regards, Mick
I doubt that this is a packaging issue so please report this to upstream.
