[Bug 399298] New: encrypt swap partions by default on every boot using a random key

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=399298 Summary: encrypt swap partions by default on every boot using a random key Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Alpha 0 Platform: All OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Security AssignedTo: security-team(a)suse.de ReportedBy: funtasyspace(a)yahoo.com QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Found By: --- I think for security reasons, swap partitions should be encrypted by default in a way where a RANDOM encryption key is generated on EVERY boot, so users are not required to enter the key on every boot. As the swap partition is also used for hibernation/suspend-to-ram this would raise the problem of not being able to decrypt the hibernation data on the next boot. Therefore I would suggest to automatically create a dedicated, encrypted hibernation file before hibernating and writing the RAM content into this file instead of writing into the swap partition. The key for this encrypted hibernation file should be derived from a password the user is requested to enter immediately after initiating the hibernation process (or by using a fingerprint reader if available for more convenience, but less security). Though, an open question would be a solution for the case, when the user is not present to enter a password or swipe his finger because hibernation is done automatically (after an idle timeout or because of low battery). -- 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.

[Bug 334690] New: libcurl comes with too few certs

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=334690 Summary: libcurl comes with too few certs Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: tom.horsley(a)att.net QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Found By: --- The /usr/share/curl/curl-ca-bundle.crt file that ships with openSUSE (rpm curl-ca-bundle-7.16.4-16) has a vastly limited subset of certs compared to firefox (for example). Since zypper uses libcurl for https access, this means that repos accessible only via https are likely not accessible without resorting to fiddling with the certs file. For example, the equivalent file on a fedora 7 box is found at /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt and is 441017 bytes. The /usr/share/curl/curl-ca-bundle.crt file is only 238102 bytes. Copying the fedora 7 certs to my opensuse box did indeed allow me to access an https repo, but that is way too obscure for most folks to figure out. It seems reasonable to expect all the tools that talk https to have access to the same set of certs when they all come on the same linux distribution. -- 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.

[Bug 404024] New: OpenOffice.org Writer 2.4. x crashes when copy-pasting from certain websites.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=404024 Summary: OpenOffice.org Writer 2.4.x crashes when copy-pasting from certain websites. Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: OpenOffice.org AssignedTo: eward(a)novell.com ReportedBy: jsnel(a)few.vu.nl QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Found By: --- When trying to copy the rsults table found on the matousec website OpenOffice Writer crashes reliably. The website is located here: http://www.matousec.com/projects/firewall-challenge/results.php I have tested this with the 'original' 2.4.0.14 build running on a x86-64 system and with the 2.4.1.6 build running on a x86 system, both running openSUSE 11.0 (and KDE4). I copy-paste the website from Mozilla Firefox 3.0. Incidentally it doesn't crash when I paste as unformatted text (CTRL+SHIFT+V), only when I paste as HTML markup. It seems there have been filed some bug reports on this in the past: http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/Search?resultsPerPage=40&query=Writer+cr… But these are either closed or really old. But it does tell that it's a reoccurring problem, and possibly provides sources of more information. -- 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.

[Bug 346361] New: OpenOffice asks for password still after samba setup

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=346361 Summary: OpenOffice asks for password still after samba setup Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: i386 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE AssignedTo: kde-maintainers(a)suse.de ReportedBy: heetered(a)msn.com QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Found By: Customer We am using openSUSE 10.3 since a few days ago. We have it configured as a workstation in a Windows Server 2003 environment. Now everything is working okay, but OpenOffice keeps asking user for login password to open all the files from the Server. Then, there is a checkmark for "Save Password Until End Of Session", but upon reboot, the user needs the password again. The files have to stay on the server. The XP machines don't ask for passwords when accessing the same files, they have OO 2.3 on them as well. Mostly doc files, but anything to do with opening a file with OO/OpenSUSE/KDE. OpenSUSE opens all other non-OpenOffice files on server without asking for password. No passwords are asked for anywhere else in OpenSUSE workstation, Samba has been configured properly. -- 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.

[Bug 376310] New: run mkzimage on Pegasos and EFIKA as part of installation , and after kernel upgrades

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=376310 Summary: run mkzimage on Pegasos and EFIKA as part of installation, and after kernel upgrades Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Factory Platform: PowerPC OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: pczanik(a)genesi-usa.com QAContact: jsrain(a)novell.com Found By: --- Pegasos and EFIKA are PPC machines from bPlan/Genesi. This should be an enhancement request, but became critical due to other problems. Current boot manager situation: - yaboot is installed as bootmanager on Pegasos, but works only with recent firmwares, the rest need a workaround - EFIKA: no bootmanager is installed The mentioned workaround is to boot inst32 again, then boot the installed system, finish installation, login as root, and create a bootable kernel image. Obviously this is not a user friendly solution, especially that typical users of these machines are desktop users (mostly from the Amiga world). Even this workaround is lost now with recent factory releases, booting the installed system from inst32 does not work any more ( see: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=373569 ) The proposed solution is to run the following command during installation to get a bootable kernel image. chroot /mnt mkzimage --initrd /boot/initrd --vmlinux \ /boot/vmlinux --output /boot/zImage This should be on one line, broke only for bugzilla readibility. 'chroot' is needed, as only the installed system has the 'mkzimage' tool (part of the PPC version of the 'lilo' package). On the installed system 'chroot' obviously is not needed, but running the same command automatically would save users a lot of trouble. -- 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.
