Oh, btw, I have upgraded manually.. Couldn't let the services be down since there was an exploit out for the version I was running... I'd assume net-mail/courier-imap wasn't in your world file, or a dep of a world file entry... been doing --oneshot or /path/to/ebuild at all? hmm, I definatly never have done an "one-shot" since I haven't heard about it before. I've did a lot of things to get my server to work like it should really, since courier first refused to check mail at all.. But it seems in the end I forced it with: 1090864443: *** emerge /usr/portage/net-mail/courier-imap/courier-imap-3.0.2-r1.ebuild trance log # grep imap emerge.log | grep -A 1 "\*\*\*" 1089884705: *** emerge net-mail/courier-imap 1089885011: >>> emerge (4 of 4) net-mail/courier-imap-3.0.2 to / -- 1089910632: *** emerge search courier-imap 1089910657: *** emerge search courier-imap 1089910682: *** emerge search courier-imap 1089912052: *** emerge unmerge courier-imap 1089912067: *** emerge unmerge courier-imap 1089912072: === Unmerging...

I'd bet it's not there :) trance edb # grep courier /var/cache/edb/world net-mail/courier-imap Please don't use -U. Try with -u instead. Try what?? if you had read the gentoo emerge log ... and my msg's you'd see that I have forcible upgraded it.. Still doesn't change the fact that it didn't show when one do emerge -up/-Dup/-DUup world :( I can't downgrade and test again. As the system is running mail in the open. And I dont want to be running a vuln service. It sounds like courier-imapd was in fact not in the world file, but the manual upgrade added it in. If you ever come across the problem again, please provide all the information that was asked for here before you upgrade. This seems to be the case yet again with tons of stuff really. I just reinstalled one of my systems and found the following to be happening: when emerging something with dependenices the dependencies dont get added to the world file: vision root # emerge -pv samba These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

Seems to me that emerge skips adding dependencies to the world file... The dependencies are not meant to be added to the world file. The world file only contains what you care about - ie what you explicitly emerge. not a bug so if something is dependant on for instance zlib... And zlib gets an remote exploitable hole or openssl does... since noone ever emerge'd openssl or zlib directly.. emerge -up world will never show that there are updated packages for the exploitable installed libs.. lovely... not a bug, just a gapping security hole... gotta love your logic guys :-( ... emerge -up world didn't show my courier-imap as being upgradeable thus left my system open for exploitation for weeks.. and it's not a bugs.. mm yes.. logic.. You want to learn about --deep and GLSAs glsa-check. If you really want to know about security updates, you can subscribe to gentoo-announce as well. Until glsa-check is integrated into emerge, knowing that an upgrade is available is just as useless. Please read my initial posting on this bug.. what did I use.. -D which means iirc --deep... mm yes... Guess I allready knew that. and yes.. I did get the bugtraq reports on it. Doesn't mean people will think that if emerge doesn't tell them there's an upgrade, that they will go emerge -s and search for it themselves... And as said before, that implies that net-mail/courier-imap was not part of world. |
