Jia Tan d4674dfbb7 xz: Avoid a compiler warning in progress_speed() in message.c.
This should be smaller too since it avoids the string constants.

Lasse Collin 6930f14733 Windows: Fix mythread_once() macro with Vista threads.
Don't call InitOnceComplete() if initialization was already done.

So far mythread_once() has been needed only when building
with --enable-small. windows/build.bash does this together
with --disable-threads so the Vista-specific mythread_once()
is never needed by those builds. VS project files or
CMake-builds don't support HAVE_SMALL builds at all.

Lasse Collin 01744b280c xz: Fix --single-stream with an empty .xz Stream.
Example:

    $ xz -dc --single-stream good-0-empty.xz
    xz: good-0-empty.xz: Internal error (bug)

The code, that is tries to catch some input file issues early,
didn't anticipate LZMA_STREAM_END which is possible in that
code only when --single-stream is used.

Lasse Collin a3e4606134 xz: Fix decompressor behavior if input uses an unsupported check type.
Now files with unsupported check will make xz display
a warning, set the exit status to 2 (unless --no-warn is used),
and then decompress the file normally. This is how it was
supposed to work since the beginning but this was broken by
the commit 231c3c7098, that is,
a little before 5.0.0 was released. The buggy behavior displayed
a message, set exit status 1 (error), and xz didn't attempt to
to decompress the file.

This doesn't matter today except for special builds that disable
CRC64 or SHA-256 at build time (but such builds should be used
in special situations only). The bug matters if new check type
is added in the future and an old xz version is used to decompress
such a file; however, it's likely that such files would use a new
filter too and an old xz wouldn't be able to decompress the file
anyway.

The first hunk in the commit is the actual fix. The second hunk
is a cleanup since LZMA_TELL_ANY_CHECK isn't used in xz.

There is a test file for unsupported check type but it wasn't
used by test_files.sh, perhaps due to different behavior between
xz and the simpler xzdec.

Lasse Collin 0b5e8c7e07 xz: Clarify the man page: input file isn't removed if an error occurs. 2022-11-11 13:30:44 +02:00
Lasse Collin 23b7416d5b xz: If input file cannot be removed, treat it as a warning, not error.
Treating it as a warning (message + exit status 2) matches gzip
and it seems more logical as at that point the output file has
already been successfully closed. When it's a warning it is
possible to suppress it with --no-warn.

Lasse Collin 5daa40454b tuklib_cpucores: Use HW_NCPUONLINE on OpenBSD.
On OpenBSD the number of cores online is often less
than what HW_NCPU would return because OpenBSD disables
simultaneous multi-threading (SMT) by default.

Jia Tan 166431e995 liblzma: Add dest and src NULL checks to lzma_index_cat.
The documentation states LZMA_PROG_ERROR can be returned from
lzma_index_cat. Previously, lzma_index_cat could not return
LZMA_PROG_ERROR. Now, the validation is similar to
lzma_index_append, which does a NULL check on the index
parameter.

Jia Tan 4ed5fd54c6 liblzma: Fix copying of check type statistics in lzma_index_cat().
The check type of the last Stream in dest was never copied to
dest->checks (the code tried to copy it but it was done too late).
This meant that the value returned by lzma_index_checks() would
only include the check type of the last Stream when multiple
lzma_indexes had been concatenated.

In xz --list this meant that the summary would only list the
check type of the last Stream, so in this sense this was only
a visual bug. However, it's possible that some applications
use this information for purposes other than merely showing
it to the users in an informational message. I'm not aware of
such applications though and it's quite possible that such
applications don't exist.

Regular streamed decompression in xz or any other application
doesn't use lzma_index_cat() and so this bug cannot affect them.

Lasse Collin 976f897bbb liblzma: Stream decoder: Fix restarting after LZMA_MEMLIMIT_ERROR.
If lzma_code() returns LZMA_MEMLIMIT_ERROR it is now possible
to use lzma_memlimit_set() to increase the limit and continue
decoding. This was supposed to work from the beginning but
there was a bug. With other decoders (.lzma or threaded .xz)
this already worked correctly.

Lasse Collin 974186f7cd xzgrep: Fix compatibility with old shells.
Running the current xzgrep on Slackware 10.1 with GNU bash 3.00.15:

    xzgrep: line 231: syntax error near unexpected token `;;'

On SCO OpenServer 5.0.7 with Korn Shell 93r:

    syntax error at line 231 : `;;' unexpected

Turns out that some old shells don't like apostrophes (') inside
command substitutions. For example, the following fails:

    x=$(echo foo
    # asdf'zxcv
    echo bar)
    printf '%s\n' "$x"

The problem was introduced by commits
69d1b3fc29 (2022-03-29),
bd7b290f3f (2022-07-18), and
a648978b20 (2022-07-19).
5.2.6 is the only stable release that included
this problem.

Thanks to Kevin R. Bulgrien for reporting the problem
on SCO OpenServer 5.0.7 and for providing the fix.

Lasse Collin f94da15120 liblzma: lzma_filters_copy: Keep dest[] unmodified if an error occurs.
lzma_stream_encoder() and lzma_stream_encoder_mt() always assumed
this. Before this patch, failing lzma_filters_copy() could result
in free(invalid_pointer) or invalid memory reads in stream_encoder.c
or stream_encoder_mt.c.

To trigger this, allocating memory for a filter options structure
has to fail. These are tiny allocations so in practice they very
rarely fail.

Certain badness in the filter chain array could also make
lzma_filters_copy() fail but both stream_encoder.c and
stream_encoder_mt.c validate the filter chain before
trying to copy it, so the crash cannot occur this way.

Jia Tan 72e1645a43 liblzma: lzma_index_append: Add missing integer overflow check.
The documentation in src/liblzma/api/lzma/index.h suggests that
both the unpadded (compressed) size and the uncompressed size
are checked for overflow, but only the unpadded size was checked.
The uncompressed check is done first since that is more likely to
occur than the unpadded or index field size overflows.

Lasse Collin 31d80c6b26 liblzma: Vaccinate against an ill patch from RHEL/CentOS 7.
RHEL/CentOS 7 shipped with 5.1.2alpha, including the threaded
encoder that is behind #ifdef LZMA_UNSTABLE in the API headers.
In 5.1.2alpha these symbols are under XZ_5.1.2alpha in liblzma.map.
API/ABI compatibility tracking isn't done between development
releases so newer releases didn't have XZ_5.1.2alpha anymore.

Later RHEL/CentOS 7 updated xz to 5.2.2 but they wanted to keep
the exported symbols compatible with 5.1.2alpha. After checking
the ABI changes it turned out that >= 5.2.0 ABI is backward
compatible with the threaded encoder functions from 5.1.2alpha
(but not vice versa as fixes and extensions to these functions
were made between 5.1.2alpha and 5.2.0).

In RHEL/CentOS 7, XZ Utils 5.2.2 was patched with
xz-5.2.2-compat-libs.patch to modify liblzma.map:

  - XZ_5.1.2alpha was added with lzma_stream_encoder_mt and
    lzma_stream_encoder_mt_memusage. This matched XZ Utils 5.1.2alpha.

  - XZ_5.2 was replaced with XZ_5.2.2. It is clear that this was
    an error; the intention was to keep using XZ_5.2 (XZ_5.2.2
    has never been used in XZ Utils). So XZ_5.2.2 lists all
    symbols that were listed under XZ_5.2 before the patch.
    lzma_stream_encoder_mt and _mt_memusage are included too so
    they are listed both here and under XZ_5.1.2alpha.

The patch didn't add any __asm__(".symver ...") lines to the .c
files. Thus the resulting liblzma.so exports the threaded encoder
functions under XZ_5.1.2alpha only. Listing the two functions
also under XZ_5.2.2 in liblzma.map has no effect without
matching .symver lines.

The lack of XZ_5.2 in RHEL/CentOS 7 means that binaries linked
against unpatched XZ Utils 5.2.x won't run on RHEL/CentOS 7.
This is unfortunate but this alone isn't too bad as the problem
is contained within RHEL/CentOS 7 and doesn't affect users
of other distributions. It could also be fixed internally in
RHEL/CentOS 7.

The second problem is more serious: In XZ Utils 5.2.2 the API
headers don't have #ifdef LZMA_UNSTABLE for obvious reasons.
This is true in RHEL/CentOS 7 version too. Thus now programs
using new APIs can be compiled without an extra #define. However,
the programs end up depending on symbol version XZ_5.1.2alpha
(and possibly also XZ_5.2.2) instead of XZ_5.2 as they would
with an unpatched XZ Utils 5.2.2. This means that such binaries
won't run on other distributions shipping XZ Utils >= 5.2.0 as
they don't provide XZ_5.1.2alpha or XZ_5.2.2; they only provide
XZ_5.2 (and XZ_5.0). (This includes RHEL/CentOS 8 as the patch
luckily isn't included there anymore with XZ Utils 5.2.4.)

Binaries built by RHEL/CentOS 7 users get distributed and then
people wonder why they don't run on some other distribution.
Seems that people have found out about the patch and been copying
it to some build scripts, seemingly curing the symptoms but
actually spreading the illness further and outside RHEL/CentOS 7.

The ill patch seems to be from late 2016 (RHEL 7.3) and in 2017 it
had spread at least to EasyBuild. I heard about the events only
recently. :-(

This commit splits liblzma.map into two versions: one for
GNU/Linux and another for other OSes that can use symbol versioning
(FreeBSD, Solaris, maybe others). The Linux-specific file and the
matching additions to .c files add full compatibility with binaries
that have been built against a RHEL/CentOS-patched liblzma. Builds
for OSes other than GNU/Linux won't get the vaccine as they should
be immune to the problem (I really hope that no build script uses
the RHEL/CentOS 7 patch outside GNU/Linux).

The RHEL/CentOS compatibility symbols XZ_5.1.2alpha and XZ_5.2.2
are intentionally put *after* XZ_5.2 in liblzma_linux.map. This way
if one forgets to #define HAVE_SYMBOL_VERSIONS_LINUX when building,
the resulting liblzma.so.5 will have lzma_stream_encoder_mt@@XZ_5.2
since XZ_5.2 {...} is the first one that lists that function.
Without HAVE_SYMBOL_VERSIONS_LINUX @XZ_5.1.2alpha and @XZ_5.2.2
will be missing but that's still a minor problem compared to
only having lzma_stream_encoder_mt@@XZ_5.1.2alpha!

The "local: *;" line was moved to XZ_5.0 so that it doesn't need
to be moved around. It doesn't matter where it is put.

Having two similar liblzma_*.map files is a bit silly as it is,
at least for now, easily possible to generate the generic one
from the Linux-specific file. But that adds extra steps and
increases the risk of mistakes when supporting more than one
build system. So I rather maintain two files in parallel and let
validate_map.sh check that they are in sync when "make mydist"
is run.

This adds .symver lines for lzma_stream_encoder_mt@XZ_5.2.2 and
lzma_stream_encoder_mt_memusage@XZ_5.2.2 even though these
weren't exported by RHEL/CentOS 7 (only @@XZ_5.1.2alpha was
for these two). I added these anyway because someone might
misunderstand the RHEL/CentOS 7 patch and think that @XZ_5.2.2
(@@XZ_5.2.2) versions were exported too.

At glance one could suggest using __typeof__ to copy the function
prototypes when making aliases. However, this doesn't work trivially
because __typeof__ won't copy attributes (lzma_nothrow, lzma_pure)
and it won't change symbol visibility from hidden to default (done
by LZMA_API()). Attributes could be copied with __copy__ attribute
but that needs GCC 9 and a fallback method would be needed anyway.

This uses __symver__ attribute with GCC >= 10 and
__asm__(".symver ...") with everything else. The attribute method
is required for LTO (-flto) support with GCC. Using -flto with
GCC older than 10 is now broken on GNU/Linux and will not be fixed
(can silently result in a broken liblzma build that has dangerously
incorrect symbol versions). LTO builds with Clang seem to work
with the traditional __asm__(".symver ...") method.

Thanks to Boud Roukema for reporting the problem and discussing
the details and testing the fix.

Lasse Collin 63e3cdef80 xz: Make --keep accept symlinks, hardlinks, and setuid/setgid/sticky.
Previously this required using --force but that has other
effects too which might be undesirable. Changing the behavior
of --keep has a small risk of breaking existing scripts but
since this is a fairly special corner case I expect the
likehood of breakage to be low enough.

I think the new behavior is more logical. The only reason for
the old behavior was to be consistent with gzip and bzip2.

Thanks to Vincent Lefevre and Sebastian Andrzej Siewior.

Lasse Collin 9055584be0 xzgrep man page: Document exit statuses. 2022-07-24 11:38:19 +03:00
Lasse Collin 57e1ccbb7c xzgrep: Improve error handling, especially signals.
xzgrep wouldn't exit on SIGPIPE or SIGQUIT when it clearly
should have. It's quite possible that it's not perfect still
but at least it's much better.

If multiple exit statuses compete, now it tries to pick
the largest of value.

Some comments were added.

The exit status handling of signals is still broken if the shell
uses values larger than 255 in $? to indicate that a process
died due to a signal ***and*** their "exit" command doesn't take
this into account. This seems to work well with the ksh and yash
versions I tried. However, there is a report in gzip/zgrep that
OpenSolaris 5.11 (not 5.10) has a problem with "exit" truncating
the argument to 8 bits:

    https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=22900#25

Such a bug would break xzgrep but I didn't add a workaround
at least for now. 5.11 is old and I don't know if the problem
exists in modern descendants, or if the problem exists in other
ksh implementations in use.

Lasse Collin 6351ea1afb xzgrep: Make the fix for ZDI-CAN-16587 more robust.
I don't know if this can make a difference in the real world
but it looked kind of suspicious (what happens with sed
implementations that cannot process very long lines?).
At least this commit shouldn't make it worse.
2022-07-24 11:38:19 +03:00
Lasse Collin 2c1ff2ed6b xzgrep: Use grep -H --label when available (GNU, *BSDs).
It avoids the use of sed for prefixing filenames to output lines.
Using sed for that is slower and prone to security bugs so now
the sed method is only used as a fallback.

This also fixes an actual bug: When grepping a binary file,
GNU grep nowadays prints its diagnostics to stderr instead of
stdout and thus the sed-method for prefixing the filename doesn't
work. So with this commit grepping binary files gives reasonable
output with GNU grep now.

This was inspired by zgrep but the implementation is different.

Lasse Collin 4a61867a87 Scripts: Use printf instead of echo in a few places.

2022-07-24 11:38:19 +03:00
Lasse Collin 0e222bf7d7 xzgrep: Add more LC_ALL=C to avoid bugs with multibyte characters.
Also replace one use of expr with printf.

The rationale for LC_ALL=C was already mentioned in
69d1b3fc29 that fixed a security
issue. However, unrelated uses weren't changed in that commit yet.

POSIX says that with sed and such tools one should use LC_ALL=C
to ensure predictable behavior when strings contain byte sequences
that aren't valid multibyte characters in the current locale. See
under "Application usage" in here:

https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/sed.html

With GNU sed invalid multibyte strings would work without this;
it's documented in its Texinfo manual. Some other implementations
aren't so forgiving.

Lasse Collin 62c1d2bc2d xzgrep: Fix parsing of certain options.
Fix handling of "xzgrep -25 foo" (in GNU grep "grep -25 foo" is
an alias for "grep -C25 foo"). xzgrep would treat "foo" as filename
instead of as a pattern. This bug was fixed in zgrep in gzip in 2012.

Add -E, -F, -G, and -P to the "no argument required" list.

Add -X to "argument required" list. It is an
intentionally-undocumented GNU grep option so this isn't
an important option for xzgrep but it seems that other grep
implementations (well, those that I checked) don't support -X
so I hope this change is an improvement still.

grep -d (grep --directories=ACTION) requires an argument. In
contrast to zgrep, I kept -d in the "no argument required" list
because it's not supported in xzgrep (or zgrep). This way
"xzgrep -d" gives an error about option being unsupported instead
of telling that it requires an argument. Both zgrep and xzgrep
tell that it's unsupported if an argument is specified.

Add comments.

Lasse Collin ff54b557fe liblzma: Add optional autodetection of LZMA end marker.
Turns out that this is needed for .lzma files as the spec in
LZMA SDK says that end marker may be present even if the size
is stored in the header. Such files are rare but exist in the
real world. The code in liblzma is so old that the spec didn't
exist in LZMA SDK back then and I had understood that such
files weren't possible (the lzma tool in LZMA SDK didn't
create such files).

This modifies the internal API so that LZMA decoder can be told
if EOPM is allowed even when the uncompressed size is known.
It's allowed with .lzma and not with other uses.

Thanks to Karl Beldan for reporting the problem.
2022-07-24 11:36:56 +03:00
Lasse Collin bb66a98ded xzgrep: Fix escaping of malicious filenames (ZDI-CAN-16587).
Malicious filenames can make xzgrep to write to arbitrary files
or (with a GNU sed extension) lead to arbitrary code execution.

xzgrep from XZ Utils versions up to and including 5.2.5 are
affected. 5.3.1alpha and 5.3.2alpha are affected as well.
This patch works for all of them.

This bug was inherited from gzip's zgrep. gzip 1.12 includes
a fix for zgrep.

The issue with the old sed script is that with multiple newlines,
the N-command will read the second line of input, then the
s-commands will be skipped because it's not the end of the
file yet, then a new sed cycle starts and the pattern space
is printed and emptied. So only the last line or two get escaped.

One way to fix this would be to read all lines into the pattern
space first. However, the included fix is even simpler: All lines
except the last line get a backslash appended at the end. To ensure
that shell command substitution doesn't eat a possible trailing
newline, a colon is appended to the filename before escaping.
The colon is later used to separate the filename from the grep
output so it is fine to add it here instead of a few lines later.

The old code also wasn't POSIX compliant as it used \n in the
replacement section of the s-command. Using \<newline> is the
POSIX compatible method.

LC_ALL=C was added to the two critical sed commands. POSIX sed
manual recommends it when using sed to manipulate pathnames
because in other locales invalid multibyte sequences might
cause issues with some sed implementations. In case of GNU sed,
these particular sed scripts wouldn't have such problems but some
other scripts could have, see:

    info '(sed)Locale Considerations'

Lasse Collin b8f667fe0c liblzma: Check the return value of lzma_index_append() in threaded encoder.
If lzma_index_append() failed (most likely memory allocation failure)
it could have gone unnoticed and the resulting .xz file would have
an incorrect Index. Decompressing such a file would produce the
correct uncompressed data but then an error would occur when
verifying the Index field.

Lasse Collin 068a6e3286 liblzma: Make Block decoder catch certain types of errors better.
Now it limits the input and output buffer sizes that are
passed to a raw decoder. This way there's no need to check
if the sizes can grow too big or overflow when updating
Compressed Size and Uncompressed Size counts. This also means
that a corrupt file cannot cause the raw decoder to process
useless extra input or output that would exceed the size info
in Block Header (and thus cause LZMA_DATA_ERROR anyway).

More importantly, now the size information is verified more
carefully in case raw decoder returns LZMA_OK. This doesn't
really matter with the current single-threaded .xz decoder
as the errors would be detected slightly later anyway. But
this helps avoiding corner cases in the upcoming threaded
decompressor, and it might help other Block decoder uses
outside liblzma too.

The test files bad-1-lzma2-{9,10,11}.xz test these conditions.
With the single-threaded .xz decoder the only difference is
that LZMA_DATA_ERROR is detected in a difference place now.

with these filters the API says it must never be NULL. It is
good to do these checks anyway.

Lasse Collin d8b294af03 liblzma: Use _MSVC_LANG to detect when "noexcept" can be used with MSVC.
By default, MSVC always sets __cplusplus to 199711L. The real
C++ standard version is available in _MSVC_LANG (or one could
use /Zc:__cplusplus to set __cplusplus correctly).

Fixes <https://sourceforge.net/p/lzmautils/discussion/708858/thread/f6bc3b108a/>.

Thanks to Dan Weiss.

Lasse Collin 8d0fd42fbe xzless: Fix less(1) version detection when it contains a dot.
Sometimes the version number from "less -V" contains a dot,
sometimes not. xzless failed detect the version number when
it does contain a dot. This fixes it.

Thanks to nick87720z for reporting this. Apparently it had been
reported here <https://bugs.gentoo.org/489362> in 2013.

Lasse Collin 6e2cab8579 xz: Document the special memlimit case of 2000 MiB on MIPS32.

Ivan A. Melnikov 95806a8a52 Reduce maximum possible memory limit on MIPS32
Due to architectural limitations, address space available to a single
userspace process on MIPS32 is limited to 2 GiB, not 4, even on systems
that have more physical RAM -- e.g. 64-bit systems with 32-bit
userspace, or systems that use XPA (an extension similar to x86's PAE).

So, for MIPS32, we have to impose stronger memory limits. I've chosen
2000MiB to give the process some headroom.

Lasse Collin d655b8c9cb Scripts: Fix exit status of xzgrep.
Omit the -q option from xz, gzip, and bzip2. With xz this shouldn't
matter. With gzip it's important because -q makes gzip replace SIGPIPE
with exit status 2. With bzip2 it's important because with -q bzip2
is completely silent if input is corrupt while other decompressors
still give an error message.

Avoiding exit status 2 from gzip is important because bzip2 uses
exit status 2 to indicate corrupt input. Before this commit xzgrep
didn't recognize corrupt .bz2 files because xzgrep was treating
exit status 2 as SIGPIPE for gzip compatibility.

zstd still needs -q because otherwise it is noisy in normal
operation.

The code to detect real SIGPIPE didn't check if the exit status
was due to a signal (>= 128) and so could ignore some other exit
status too.
