Subject: ecasound: manpage contains garbage

Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2008 18:20:35 +0300

Package: ecasound
Version: 2.5.2-1
Severity: normal

/usr/share/man/man1/ecasound.1.gz contained a valid manpage
in 2.4.6.1-2, but in 2.5.2-1 it got some first part consisting
of HTML making it unusable.

reassign 499421 yodl
severity 499421 serious
thanks

Hi,

yodl2xxx has the following snippet, which makes yodl share same file
if the username is the same. This assumption breaks when parallel
build is ran, which results in broken manpages containing parts of
HTML and so on.

This is not a good idea security-wise, since it makes the filename
predictable.  Can't we use one of the tempfile shell calls?



# See if there's a (need to use the) post-processor.
if [ -s ${tmpdir}/yodl-${USER}${unique}.idx ] ; then
    run $YODLPOST ${tmpdir}/yodl-${USER}${unique}.idx \
        ${tmpdir}/yodl-${USER}${unique} $output
else
    chat "No post-processing required for this $FORMAT conversion"
    run mv ${tmpdir}/yodl-${USER}${unique}  $output
fi

Dear Junichi and Adrian,

Thanks for filing the Yodl bug report. You have a valid point (and I must
admit I never considered that somebody might run yodl as the same user in
parallel runs...). I also think that the problem is less severe than `serious'
since the yodl2whatever script provides options allowing for this situation.

Nevertheless, while I prepare a more elegant way to handle the problems you
reported I suggest you use the options provided by yodl2whatever.

Here are some considerations:

By default the user name is used in the tmp files to prevent the tmp directory
from getting clobbered by all kinds of leftovers from earlier runs. Although
that file is intended for consumption by yodlpost sometimes it's read by
humans as well. But that's the exception so it's probably more useful to
remove it by default.

Currently, the yodl2whatever script provides the --unique flag, which *will*
create a unique filename (but the file will outlive the yodl run, so you'll
have to do some cleaning up, I guess). In addition, the --tmp=<path> option
is provided, so you could define different locations for, e.g., a man-page run
and a html-run like this:

For the man-page run:
        yodl2man --tmp=/tmp/adrian/man manpage.yo
or
        yodl2man --unique --tmp=/tmp/adrian/man manpage.yo

and for the html-document:
        yodl2html --tmp=/tmp/adrian/html htmlpage.yo
or
        yodl2html --unique --tmp=/tmp/adrian/html htmlpage.yo

I hope this reply solves the acute problem. If not, expect a new yodl release
in a few days.

Thanks again for the report,
Cheers,

Hello Junichi,

A new version of yodl has been uploaded to unstable to address bug #499421.
 The new version now uses has removed the --unique-output option.

We have checked all other packages that build-depend on yodl and ecasound2.2
is the only one using this patch.

Would you be willing to update debian/patches/00list in ecasound2.2 to
remove 09_mangen_modify so it will build against the newest version of yodl?
 Or would you be opposed to an NMU that included only this change?  We would
like for yodl-2.13.1 to be considered for lenny.

Thank you,
Tony Mancill
