[PATCH 0/1] LP#1002388 -- postinst symlink failures

Andy Whitcroft — 2012-05-25T16:34:27

We have been seeing a number of postinst failures related to symlinks
not being handled correctly.  Sadly the postinst has the same messages in
multiple places so it is hard to even know which bits are being exercised.
Fix up all the errors so that they report their line number in the output
to make this more diagnosable.  Note this is _not_ a fix for the issue
mearly debug to try and help find the issue.

Proposing for SRU to precise.

PPA Kernel install and module compile error

Daniele Elia — 2012-05-24T17:48:02

Hi all,
I need to install kernel 3.3 or 3.4 because the default kernel in use by
ubuntu 12.04 doesn't work very well in my laptop; I've a big problem about
headphone jack; if I put the jack in, speaker and headphone sound both.

I've tried kernel 3.3.7 from mainline ppa, I've installed generic headers,
all headers and image (i386) and my headphone now work correctly but I
cant't compile nvidia module or virtualbox module or vmware module, always
it's end with kernel Ops (crash) ... I don't know why, I've tried also 3.4
or 3.3.6 and 3.3.5 and always in modprobe it finish with ops.

Am I missing something ?

Thank's

Daniele

Precise SRU, [PATCH 0/12] CONFIG_DSA=m, 12 patches

Tim Gardner — 2012-05-24T21:05:14

Sometimes I hate git send-email.

http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1004148

The DSA transport is experimental. By policy it should not be built-in. 
The dependent hardware modules in drivers/net/dsa will load the 
transport as a result of udev probing. Finally, this is pretty esoteric 
and rare hardware, so is unlikely to cause any issues with a normal 
desktop or server.

eth_type_trans() will use these functions if DSA is enabled, which
blocks building DSA as a module.

[precise] SRU: UBUNTU: SAUCE: dell-laptop: rfkill blacklist DellXPS 13z, 15

Kamal Mostafa — 2012-05-24T18:49:46

SRU Justification [precise]:

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/901410

Impact: Prevents using WiFi without Bluetooth, or vice-versa.
Fix: Patch adds two Dell laptop models to rfkill blacklist table;
affects only those models.
Testcase: Disable Bluetooth via the indicator icon; verify that WiFi
continues to operate.

This patch is being carried in quantal as UBUNTU SAUCE.  Please
cherry-pick from quantal into precise as SRU:

On Dell XPS 13z (L321X) and 15z (L502X), switching off Bluetooth also
disables wifi due to improper improper BIOS interaction with dell-laptop.
Add those models to the rfkill blacklist.

[PATCH 0/1] [CVE-2012-2319] hfsplus: Fix potential buffer overflows

Brad Figg — 2012-05-24T03:21:55

Following this cover-letter is a single patch that applies the same CVE
fix to the xen and openvz sections of the Hardy git tree.

CVE-2012-2319

Commit ec81aecb2966 ("hfs: fix a potential buffer overflow") fixed a few
potential buffer overflows in the hfs filesystem.  But as Timo Warns
pointed out, these changes also need to be made on the hfsplus
filesystem as well.

[PATCH 0/1x2] [CVE-2012-2313] dl2k: Clean up rio_ioctl

Brad Figg — 2012-05-23T15:51:49

Following this email are two emails with the actual patch. The first
of the two is a clean cherry pick from upstream and it apples to
Precise. The second patch is a very slight 'backport' of the same
commit which applies to all other supported kernels.


CVE-2012-2313

The dl2k driver's rio_ioctl call has a few issues:
- No permissions checking
- Implements SIOCGMIIREG and SIOCGMIIREG using the SIOCDEVPRIVATE numbers
- Has a few ioctls that may have been used for debugging at one point
  but have no place in the kernel proper.

This patch removes all but the MII ioctls, renumbers them to use the
standard ones, and adds the proper permission check for SIOCSMIIREG.

We can also get rid of the dl2k-specific struct mii_data in favor of
the generic struct mii_ioctl_data.

Since we have the phyid on hand, we can add the SIOCGMIIPHY ioctl too.

Most of the MII code for the driver could probably be converted to use
the generic MII library but I don't have a device to test the results.
