 These bootstrap binaries are ``taken for granted'', though we can also

+more elaborate, @pxref{Reduced Binary Seed Bootstrap}.

+@section The Reduced Binary Seed Bootstrap
+
+Guix---like other GNU/Linux distributions---is traditionally bootstrapped from
+a set of bootstrap binaries: Bourne shell, command-line tools provided by GNU
+Coreutils, Awk, Findutils, `sed', and `grep' and Guile, GCC, Binutils, and the
+GNU C Library (@pxref{Bootstrapping}).  Usually, these bootstrap binaries are
+``taken for granted.''
+
+Taking these binaries for granted means that we consider them to be a correct
+and trustworthy `seed' for building the complete system.  Therein lies a
+problem: the current combined size of these bootstrap binaries is about 250MB
+(@pxref{Bootstrappable Builds,,, mes, GNU Mes}).  Auditing or even inspecting
+these is next to impossible.
+
+For @code{i686-linux} and @code{x86_64-linux}, Guix now features a ``Reduced
+Binary Seed'' bootstrap @footnote{We would like to say: ``Full Source
+Bootstrap'' and while we are working towards that goal it would be hyperbole
+to use that term for what we do now.}.
+
+The Reduced Binary Seed bootstrap removes the most critical tools---from a
+trust perspective---from the bootstrap binaries: GCC, Binutils and the GNU C
+Library are replaced by: @code{bootstrap-mescc-tools} (a tiny assembler and
+linker) and @code{bootstrap-mes} (a small Scheme Interpreter and a C compiler
+written in Scheme and the Mes C Library, built for TinyCC and for GCC).  Using
+these new binary seeds and a new set of

+Our first major achievement is the replacement of of GCC, the GNU C Library
+and Binutils by MesCC-Tools (a simple hex linker and macro assembler) and Mes
+(@pxref{Top, GNU Mes Reference Manual,, mes, GNU Mes}, a Scheme interpreter
+and C compiler in Scheme).  Neither MesCC-Tools nor Mes can be fully

+Reduced Binary Seed bootstrap, as it has halved the size of our bootstrap
+binaries!  Also, it has eliminated the C compiler binary; i686-linux and
+x86_64-linux Guix packages are now bootstrapped without any binary C compiler.

-From: Simon McVittie <smcv@collabora.com>

-Subject: [PATCH] auth: Reject DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1 for users other than the server
- owner
-
-The DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1 authentication mechanism aims to prove ownership
-of a shared home directory by having the server write a secret "cookie"
-into a .dbus-keyrings subdirectory of the desired identity's home
-directory with 0700 permissions, and having the client prove that it can
-read the cookie. This never actually worked for non-malicious clients in
-the case where server uid != client uid (unless the server and client
-both have privileges, such as Linux CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE or traditional
-Unix uid 0) because an unprivileged server would fail to write out the
-cookie, and an unprivileged client would be unable to read the resulting
-file owned by the server.
-
-Additionally, since dbus 1.7.10 we have checked that ~/.dbus-keyrings
-is owned by the uid of the server (a side-effect of a check added to
-harden our use of XDG_RUNTIME_DIR), further ruling out successful use
-by a non-malicious client with a uid differing from the server's.
-
-Joe Vennix of Apple Information Security discovered that the
-implementation of DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1 was susceptible to a symbolic link
-attack: a malicious client with write access to its own home directory
-could manipulate a ~/.dbus-keyrings symlink to cause the DBusServer to
-read and write in unintended locations. In the worst case this could
-result in the DBusServer reusing a cookie that is known to the
-malicious client, and treating that cookie as evidence that a subsequent
-client connection came from an attacker-chosen uid, allowing
-authentication bypass.
-
-This is mitigated by the fact that by default, the well-known system
-dbus-daemon (since 2003) and the well-known session dbus-daemon (in
-stable releases since dbus 1.10.0 in 2015) only accept the EXTERNAL
-authentication mechanism, and as a result will reject DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1
-at an early stage, before manipulating cookies. As a result, this
-vulnerability only applies to:
-
-* system or session dbus-daemons with non-standard configuration
-* third-party dbus-daemon invocations such as at-spi2-core (although
-  in practice at-spi2-core also only accepts EXTERNAL by default)
-* third-party uses of DBusServer such as the one in Upstart
-
-Avoiding symlink attacks in a portable way is difficult, because APIs
-like openat() and Linux /proc/self/fd are not universally available.
-However, because DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1 already doesn't work in practice for
-a non-matching uid, we can solve this vulnerability in an easier way
-without regressions, by rejecting it early (before looking at
-~/.dbus-keyrings) whenever the requested identity doesn't match the
-identity of the process hosting the DBusServer.

-Subject: [PATCH] display-store: Pass the display object rather than the id in
- the removed signal
-
-By the time GdmDisplayStore emits the "display-removed" signal, the display
-is no longer in the store and gdm_display_store_lookup will not work in
-signal handlers.
-
-Change the "display-removed" parameter from the display id to the GdmDisplay
-object, so that signal handers can perform any cleanup they need to do

-Subject: [PATCH] Fix intermittent failures in missing client private key test
-
-Because our APIs do nice things like encapsulating the TLS connection
-establishment, we have our test server writing to the client after
-establishing the TCP connection, because the TLS connection is
-established. It's fine in theory, but results in some weirdness like the
-server seeing its write having completed successfully before TLS
-connection establishment. Normally that's what happens and this test
-passes (server sees no error), but sometimes the server sees that the
-client has already failed and the test fails.
-
-This is unfortunate, and tricky to fix properly, so let's just remove
-the bad check. The point of the test is to ensure that the TLS
-connection is not established, and the client-side check is going to
-have to be sufficient, because rewriting the test to wait for the TLS
-connection to be established on the server side is quite tricky: my
-naive attempt resulted in both sides waiting forever on the other.
-
-P.S. At no point in this test does the server ever examine the client
-certificate. That's not quite what I expected when I added the test, but
-it's fine.
-
-Fixes #4

+
+  * Makefile: Do not assemble from stdin, use file indirection.
+  * Makefile: Add new target: install-lib-all.
+  * Makefile: Avoid building stub DOC.
+  * [_LIBC_REENTRANT]: Add missing guarding.
+  * [MES_BOOTSTRAP]: Disable some GCC extensions.
+  * [MES_BOOTSTRAP]: Add missing GCC div/mod defines.
+
+Upstream status: Not presented upstream.

+We want to allow builds in chroots that lack /bin/sh.  Thus, system(3)

+glibc, we just use whatever `sh' can be found in $PATH.  The final glibc

+This patch allows us to use glibc's build system to build locales
+in a package separate from glibc.
+
+  1. Use 'localedef' from $PATH since we are not rebuilding it.
+  2. Use '--no-archive' to avoid building the big locale archive, and
+     because the already-built 'localedef' would want to write it
+     to '/run/current-system/locale', which is not possible.
+  3. Pass $(inst_complocaledir)/$$locale to install files in the right
+     place, and because otherwise, 'localedef' fails with:
+     "cannot write output files to `(null)'".

-Subject: [PATCH] Avoid a double-free when a window size of 0 is specified
-
-new_size can be 0 with a malicious or corrupted RAR archive.
-
-realloc(area, 0) is equivalent to free(area), so the region would
-be free()d here and the free()d again in the cleanup function.
-
-Found with a setup running AFL, afl-rb, and qsym.

-Subject: [PATCH] rar: file split across multi-part archives must match
-
-Fuzzing uncovered some UAF and memory overrun bugs where a file in a
-single file archive reported that it was split across multiple
-volumes. This was caused by ppmd7 operations calling
-rar_br_fillup. This would invoke rar_read_ahead, which would in some
-situations invoke archive_read_format_rar_read_header.  That would
-check the new file name against the old file name, and if they didn't
-match up it would free the ppmd7 buffer and allocate a new
-one. However, because the ppmd7 decoder wasn't actually done with the
-buffer, it would continue to used the freed buffer. Both reads and
-writes to the freed region can be observed.
-
-This is quite tricky to solve: once the buffer has been freed it is
-too late, as the ppmd7 decoder functions almost universally assume
-success - there's no way for ppmd_read to signal error, nor are there
-good ways for functions like Range_Normalise to propagate them. So we
-can't detect after the fact that we're in an invalid state - e.g. by
-checking rar->cursor, we have to prevent ourselves from ever ending up
-there. So, when we are in the dangerous part or rar_read_ahead that
-assumes a valid split, we set a flag force read_header to either go
-down the path for split files or bail. This means that the ppmd7
-decoder keeps a valid buffer and just runs out of data.
-
-Found with a combination of AFL, afl-rb and qsym.

-Subject: [PATCH] warc: consume data once read
-
-The warc decoder only used read ahead, it wouldn't actually consume
-data that had previously been printed. This means that if you specify
-an invalid content length, it will just reprint the same data over
-and over and over again until it hits the desired length.
-
-This means that a WARC resource with e.g.
-Content-Length: 666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666665
-but only a few hundred bytes of data, causes a quasi-infinite loop.
-
-Consume data in subsequent calls to _warc_read.
-
-Found with an AFL + afl-rb + qsym setup.

+Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2019 15:10:44 +0900
+Subject: [PATCH] awk: Prepare for Gawk 5.0.
+
+* src/Makefile.am: Use pkg_namespace (instead of namespace).
+* src/mkerrnos.awk: Likewise.
+* lang/cl/mkerrcodes.awk: Don't escape # in regexp.
+* src/mkerrcodes.awk, src/mkerrcodes1.awk, src/mkerrcodes2.awk: Ditto.
+
+--
+
+In Gawk 5.0, regexp routines are replaced by Gnulib implementation,
+which only allows escaping specific characters.
+
+GnuPG-bug-id: 4459

+Subject: [PATCH] Keep compability with stdlib tokenize.py changes
+
+https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/c4ef4896eac86a6759901c8546e26de4695a1389
+is not yet part of any release of Python but has been backported to all
+versions in Git (includeing 2.7!). It causes the tokenize.py module to
+emit a synthetic NEWLINE token for files that do not in fact end with a
+newline, which confuses pycodestyle's checks for blank lines at the end
+of a file. Fortunately the synthetic NEWLINE tokens are easy to detect
+(the token text is "").

+Fixes #786

-Subject: [PATCH] usb-mtp: use O_NOFOLLOW and O_CLOEXEC.
-
-Open files and directories with O_NOFOLLOW to avoid symlinks attacks.
-While being at it also add O_CLOEXEC.
-
-usb-mtp only handles regular files and directories and ignores
-everything else, so users should not see a difference.
-
-Because qemu ignores symlinks, carrying out a successful symlink attack
-requires swapping an existing file or directory below rootdir for a
-symlink and winning the race against the inotify notification to qemu.
