https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=228018 Summary: Audit backlog can cause kernel lockup Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: RC 5 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jjohansen(a)novell.com QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Apparmor when using the audit subsystem can overload the system with audit events causing the kernel to lockup (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=221567) If apparmor is patched to not use the audit system, or the audit subsystem is not running (rcaudit stop) the kernel will not lockup. The system can be overloaded as described in #221567 if the netstat profile is loaded. It can also be overloaded doing the following load the following profile into apparmor (apparmor_parser -r < ) /bin/foobash { #include <abstractions/base> #include <abstractions/bash> #include <abstractions/nameservice> capability dac_override, capability sys_ptrace, /** ixr, /dev/tty rw, /proc/** rw, /bin/foobash mr, } > ln /bin/bash /bin/foobash > foobash > for ((i=1; i<100; i++)); do for f in /proc/[0-9]*/fd/* ; do \ ls $f 2>/dev/null 1>/dev/null & done ; done or netstat can be used > for ((i=1; i<100; i++)); netstat -tupaen & done the number of iterations actually needed to overload the system will vary based off of machines memory and speed. I have not been able to generate a backtrace as sysrq is unresponsive. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

[Bug 207637] New: kernel-debug is symlinked as /boot/vmlinuz when installed

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=207637 Summary: kernel-debug is symlinked as /boot/vmlinuz when installed Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Alpha 4 plus Platform: All OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: rschiele(a)gmail.com QAContact: qa(a)suse.de CC: aj(a)novell.com kernel-debug is symlinked as /boot/vmlinuz when installed as all the default kernels. Although it could be argued that this seems to be the logical way doing it I'd like to argue why this kernel should get special handling like the xen kernels: 1. In the current situation not so experienced users might run into serious problems when they install kernel-debug by accident. 2. Even a lot of people installing kernel-debug most likely don't want to have this booted as default kernel. 3. People that really _need_ kernel-debug should be easily capable to boot it even if it is not symlinked as the default kernel. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

[Bug 229366] New: (K)NetworkManager doesn't connect to WLAN on login anymore.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=229366 Summary: (K)NetworkManager doesn't connect to WLAN on login anymore. Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: 178155(a)glocalnet.net QAContact: qa(a)suse.de IBM Thinkpad A31p laptop with built in ethernet and wlan card. Since the bult in wlan card only supplies 11 Mbit/s I am using a Netgear WGT 511T PCMCIA card instead. In Yast, the ethernet card is configured with a static íp, the built in wlan is not configured and the Netgear card is DHCP configured. openSUSE 10.2 with KDE desktop. The Netgear card is using madwifi driver version 0.92 from madwifi.org/suse/10.2. Before I upgraded to 10.2 I used the same configuration in SL 10.1 and after I logged in KNetworkManager choosed the Netgear card and connected to my encrypted WLAN with 54 Mbit/s and KWalletManager asked for my password. Everything as expected. Now, in openSUSE 10.2, KNetworkManager doesn't logg in at all and KWalletManager doesn't ask me for the password. Instead the KNetworkManager icon looks as if it was connected to a wired LAN, similar to bug 224261, and I need to manually connect to the wireless LAN. At first I thought it was the built in wlan card that caused the problem so I've tried to configure it not to activate on boot but that instead resulted in it actually being activated and that KNetworkManager connected to the wlan with 11 Mbit/s using that card!? Next, I tried to remove the built-in card completely from Yast but when I reboot it's back again, not configured. Last step was to configure the access point so that it only accept connections from the mac address of the Netgear Card and only with the g protocol. I thought maybe this step would make networkmanager to choose the Netgear card and connect with 54 Mbit/ since the built in card is not allowed to connect to the network at all. No luck, same problem and I'm stuck being forced to connect manually. Please next post for attachement. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

[Bug 209339] New: KMail signature check problem
by bugzilla_noreply＠novell.com 22 May '08

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=209339 Summary: KMail signature check problem Product: SUSE Linux 10.1 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: suse-beta(a)cboltz.de QAContact: kde-maintainers(a)suse.de KMail showed me the following error message when checking the signature of a mail with Content-Type: multipart/signed; protocol="application/x-pkcs7-signature"; micalg=sha1; The message in the main window was: Nicht genügend Informationen zur Überprüfung der Signatur vorhanden: [Details] Status: Keine Status-Informationen verfügbar. translated: not enough information to check the signature: [details] status: no status information available Clicking [Details], I see the following message: Fehler - Kleopatra Das Krypto-Modul lässt sich nicht initialisieren. Der Zertifikatsmanager wird jetzt beendet. translated: error - Kleopatra The crypto module can't be initialized. The certificate manager will be terminated now. I see two problems here: a) the failed signature check Unfortunately, I don't know why it happens. What I can tell is that I have seen it some days ago with another mail (dunno if it was the same sender). KMail prints on stdout/stderr: gpgmeplug checkMessageSignature status flags: 0 gpgmeplug checkMessageSignature found email: <lists(a)norrbring.se> gpgmeplug checkMessageSignature found email: <lists(a)norrbring.se> b) despite of the failed signature check, the mail gets a green border like mails with valid (but non-trusted) signatures. I consider this more critical than the failed signature check because it can make people believe the signature is valid. -> I would expect a yellow border because the signature can't be checked. I'm using KDE and KMail from 10.1 + online updates. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Looks to me like the "default" flag is simply ignored.
