Description Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2022-10-01 22:37:19 UTC
Noticed by Ionen. Not clear yet if the packages are to blame, Portage, or bash 5.2. Needs (currently masked) bash 5.2 to reproduce.

[22:04:59]  <+ionen> there was the weird thing where it enables extglob if the ebuild has a statement like: echo $(usex test $(usex test $(usex test))) and then you get a QA notice about changed shopt
[22:05:25]  <+ionen> not that it cause real problems
[22:05:53]  <+ionen> I could never reproduce outside ebuilds, I assume portage's usex is related

Comment 2 kfm 2022-10-02 06:08:36 UTC
Hi Sam. Unsurprisingly, it is a bug in bash. I am attaching a reproducer.

With BASH_COMPAT=50 in effect, it takes 3 levels of comsub nesting for extglob to be unexpectedly enabled in bash-5.2 at all levels, including that of the initial shell, despite never having requested that it be enabled. Further, test #3 demonstrates - as had already been reported for 5.2-rc3 - that BASHOPTS no longer reliably indicates whether extglob is enabled (shopt is being truthful).

It was implied by upstream that the issues with 5.2-rc3 could be addressed with "an easy fix", which struck me as being rather blasé at the time. I had the distinct feeling that this wouldn't be the end of it.

bash-5.2-compat-extglob-comsub.patch

This is the patch posted by Chet on the bug-bash list, regenerated so as to be a unified diff and to apply to the 5.2 release without fuzz. I tested it on top of 5.2_p2 and could find no fault with it.
Comment 6 kfm 2022-10-07 00:03:23 UTC
I spoke too soon. While the patch is probably sufficient for this particular bug to be closed, the >=5.2-rc3 parser remains buggy. I have posted a response that goes into further detail: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2022-10/msg00029.html.

This is a backport of commit 22f21b760ed90eb77c3756e6ccf39b73c84f532a from the devel branch. It is intended to be applied to 5.2.2, with -p0. It addresses the issue discovered by Ionen, along with the issue mentioned by comment #6.

Thanks. I should add that I inadvertently included an unrelated fix, though it's a valid one. Specifically, the hunk that touches subst.c addresses an issue with braced parameter expansion, reported at https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2022-10/msg00022.html. I suppose that could be split out into a separate patch at some point.

Thanks for your help overall in this. It is very much appreciated.

FYI: I'm intending to wait a bit longer given the recent churn, but my intention is to unmask Bash 5.2 & readline 8.2 probably in a week or so unless someone has strong objections or another bug pops up.

That seems reasonable. Note that, in principle, 5.2 will be a bit slower for portage. That's because BASH_COMPAT=50 now disables the optimisation implemented in 5.1, whereby here documents and here strings can avoid the use of temporary files for payloads shorter than PIPE_BUF. It's probable that no one will notice but I mention it on the off chance that you do.
Comment 15 Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2022-11-08 08:44:06 UTC
kerin notes that one of the patches (I think) doesn't survive in the latest patch release to 5.2_p9. We're going to wait until _p9 is officially announced and then ask upstream if they plan on backporting it.

    app-shells/bash: backport another extglob fix
    
    It's still not sufficient but with this in on top of _p9, it's very
    clear what the remaining issues are then, rather than me at least
    trying to remember exactly what's broken still as the saga continues.
    
    It is still not enough to unmask as there's still one extglob
    issue remaining (and this came up pretty early as far as testing
    goes). I don't see us being able to expose Bash 5.2 to users
    for a while yet.

As far as I can tell, 5.2_p12 adequately addresses this issue. The initially reported comsub nesting bug no longer occurs (I tested up to 100 levels), nor does the bug referenced by comment 6.

    profiles: unmask Bash 5.2 and Readline 8.2
    
    There's still a few issues - their presence is subideal, but there's
    no specific regressions wrt Gentoo usage now, and they're things
    to take to upstream (and lobby them over) if it's a problem.
    
    That is, there's some changes in behaviour the Bash community is
    understandably not happy about, but there's nothing concrete which
    upstream would agree is a bug as things stand.
