* [gentoo-dev] Regarding long delays on GLSA generation

Was looking to existing gedit bug reports and I found:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=257004

That is only one more example of a really old bug report still opened
and waiting for a GLSA. Was wondering what really causes this long
delays, can't GLSA be done automatically? Would a GLSA even have any
sense for cases like this (after 5 years)

Thanks for your help

Nope. But we do make constant refinements to speed up the process.

Yope. (I've answered this questions a trillion times by now, so care to

Not sure what you wanted to achieve by sending this email. Posting
$old_bug assigned to a specific team to -dev to point fingers at them is
just lame, as I'm pretty sure there's bug skeletons in every team's closet.

Appreciatively of your appreciation of our efforts,
Alex

Oops, didn't send to @-dev.

What I want to achieve is to try to get this problem solved, I don't
think has any sense to have pending GLSA bugs waiting for ages (yes,
ages), I see this for really a lot of packages, the pointed one was only
one example, but there are many more (like glib, dotnet stuff...)

Regarding sending this to the whole list (well, I don't understand why
people in security team want to not get gentoo-dev ML involved), I
simply did that as I though maybe some help/suggestions could be needed
taking care clearly the security team is not able to fix this situation
for really a long time and, hopefully, some other people could help with
their effort and ideas to fix this long standing issue.

The issue is still present even if we don't talk about it and keep
simply ignoring all bug reports assigned to security and accumulating
for years. The idea is to try to solve the situation, not to point to
you, I didn't pointed to you, you will know why do you feel offended
about this.

From my perception, the security team in recent months has gone
through great lengths to improve the process and to work on the
backlog of old security bugs. AIUI, this *is* getting fixed, it just
takes some time to fix it properly.

Cheers,

Dirkjan

[Bah, the touchpad]

I was referring the, until know, I was simply ignoring that bug reports
but I thought that maybe more could be done to fix the situation

Your message is profoundly lacking any proposed solutions, however it
does contain plenty of complaining. That's not a good way to solve problems.

Assuming that posing to -dev generates magical help or solutions is
quite naive. You're not the first one to post here, but and you're
certainly not the first one whose message didn't help in the slightest.
Thanks for trying though.

As others on the list have noticed, we are working on fixing things.
Your diagnosis of us being 'clearly' unable to do so is quite
unsubstantiated. You should understand that we can't just make a bug
pile gathered over years disappear in one day.

Noone's offended here. I'm just saying your email doesn't serve a
purpose. If a -dev post was the solution, we'd have it by now. If you'd
like to help in a way we actually think is useful, we'd be glad to have
you fill one of our staffing needs posted or to engage in the
discussions we have on the -security list and on IRC.

Then, how are you finally going to fix this? Only for knowing, I still
was seeing some delays and, then, I though situation was not improved.
For example, since this year started, I have only seen 8 GLSAs filled:
http://www.gentoo.org/security/en/glsa/

Then, I thought something was still wrong as that rate didn't seem
enough to me for handling upcoming security issues and the really old
ones. Also, if you that 8 GLSAs, you will see the only one that has been
done in a fast way is the ntp one, the other 7 took months (or years) to
be handled.

Then, instead of blaming on how should I have asked for clarification on
this (well, looks like the main topic here is that I have asked about
this in ML instead of the real problem :O), I think you should focus on
explaining how are you fixing this problem. I have been long time
wondering about this because:
1. I usually get lots of bugs from alias I am a member whose we go fast
bumping, calling for stabilization and dropping vulnerable versions and,
the, the bugs get stalled.
2. Once of the machines I maintain would benefit from being able to use
glsacheck to only update vulnerable packages as not always have enough
time for updating the full world

Thank you for finally showing interest in anything we do. Here is how we
are 'finally' going to fix this.

Er, we're 18 days in…

You shouldn't look at this purely by the numbers, you should see that we
have now again a steady stream of advisories going not. No gaps like
from 2013-01 to 2013-07. That is largely the effort of the
recently-joined members.

So you observed correctly there's still plenty of delays. There are
three parts to an advisory that take time:
- Drafting: Collecting information, linking references, getting package
versions done right (slots are a huge pain still).

- Reviewing: Our current process asks for two independent positive
reviews from other team members before an advisory can be sent.

- Sending: The original author gets a .txt to email and have to check in
the .xml to CVS.

Going through these three steps requires at least three people, and the
(group of) people whose action is required shifts twice. That overall
process is spot #1 we are planning to improve. The current plan contains
requiring only one review and the reviewer sends the advisory directly.
So we go from author -> reviewer 1 -> reviewer 2 -> author to just
author -> reviewer.

Concerning the single steps here are other measures:
- Drafting: Implement a new GLSA format to
  * reduce the amount of editorial text written by us
  * support slots (makes specifying vulnerable ranges in slotted package
    much easier)
  * (cleanup old stuff no longer needed)

- Reviewing: Reduced editorial text means less to review.

- Sending: We want to improve our tooling to automatically send
advisories and push them to a git repository.

The new GLSA format was up for review on -security last week. Next up
will be getting it specified formally, implemented in our tooling,
glsa-check and a new security.g.o frontend. [1]
Then, we can adopt the new workflow.

Your original email didn't reflect actual interest in the details. Now
that we've established you do care, I hope my explanations helped you
out there.

This looks a nice improvement indeed :)

That looks interesting as doing all the draft manually is really a huge
work (with leads to not so enhancement). I am unsure how will the
cleanup be done, as soon as the portage tree doesn't break (due some
other package requiring the old buggy version), why are not all devs
allowed to drop (or, at least, hardmask if needed for some base-system
package :/) the vulnerable versions? Looks like currently security team
waits for maintainers to do that, I try to do it fast but maybe will
take much more time in other situations. I think this could be improved
if other people like security team members or the last one stabilizing
the fixed version could do the cleanup too.

Also, currently looks like, when we (maintainers) get asked to bump the
package fixing it, we tend to wait for security team members to CC
arches, maybe the maintainers could do that directly to gain a bit of
time.

They helped for sure :) and I appreciate them, I simply thought nothing
was being worked out as I explained in previous mail (I was still saying
long delays)

We prefer that the maintainers do the drop in case there's some dependency situation we're not aware of, but we will drop if maintainers are unresponsive.

By all means, maintainer should be the one to call for the stable. It's your package, I cannot think of any situation where security would not want the maintainer to do that.
