[ mailman-Patches-444884 ] Integration of Mailman & htdig for archi
by SourceForge.net 15 Dec '03

15 Dec '03

Patches item #444884, was opened at 2001-07-26 18:27 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by ppsys You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=444884&group_i… Category: Unofficial 2.0 patch Group: Mailman 2.2 / 3.0 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 3 Submitted By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Assigned to: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Summary: Integration of Mailman & htdig for archi Initial Comment: This patch is applicable to Mailman 2.0.6 release that has had search enhancement patch 444879 patch installed - if your Defaults.py has the ARCHIVE_INDEXING_ENABLE and ARCHIVE_INDEXING_DISABLE in it then you've got that patch. It replaces earlier patches 401670 and 402423 and is mainly to correct some problems arising from fixes introduced into Mailman by bug fix releases since the 402423 patch. This patch integrates htdig with Mailman and provides: 1. per list search facility with a search form on the list's TOC page. 2. maintenance of privacy of private archives which requires the user to establish their credentials via the normal private archive access before any access via htdig is allowed. 3. a common base URL for both public and private archive access via htsearch results so that htdig indices are unaffected by changingan archive from private to public and vice versa. All access to archives via htdig is controlled by a new wrapped cgi- bin script called htdig.py. 4. a new cron activated script and extra crontab entry which runs htdig regularly to maintain the per list search indices. 5. automatic creation, deletion and maintenance of htdig configuration files and such. Beyond installing htdig and telling Mailman where it is via mm_cfg you do not have to do any other setup. Well not quite you do have to set up a single per installation symlink to allow htdig to find the automatically generated per list htdig configuration files. You probably want to run this patch as follows: cd <mailman 2.0.6 untarred and unzipped directory> patch -p1 < <this patch file> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2003-12-15 16:13 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 htdig-2.1.3-0.5.patch modifies htdig.py and private.py; the security changes introduced by htdig-2.1.3-0.2 patch to these scripts incorrectly blocked access to the listname.mbox/listname.mbox file.

Even if this patch isn't installed it seems a list's pipermail.pck file can also be read directly through the web interface for list archives. This seems to be true for accesses via /pipermail for public lists and via /mailman/private for private lists. The problem does not occur for htdig search results accessed via /mailman/htdig as the htdig.py script is more protective than private.py Broadly speaking the data affected is availble to a user in normal operation which is why I do not consider the issue to be a security breach as such. Adding the following RewriteRule to Apache's httpd.conf prevents the situation, assuming you got the RewriteEngine On: RewriteRule ^(/pipermail/.*)/(pipermail.pck|htdig/[^/]*)$ $1/index.html [F] RewriteRule ^(/mailman/private/.*)/(pipermail.pck|htdig/[^/]*)$ $1/index.htm l [F] You could, of course, substitute an R flag for the F flag on the RewriteRules and be more hacker friendly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2003-01-22 14:20 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 htdig-2.1-0.3.patch corrects yet another bug in htdig.py.

Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2002-08-08 16:33 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 I've sent Richard some comments off-line about this patch. Meta comments: the 2.0.x patches can't be officially supported, but I'm going to create an unofficial patches page off the wiki for where the 2.0 patches can be migrated. I think this patch set is too big for MM2.1, but if it's cleaned up as per my private message, let's re-evaluate it for MM2.2 (or 3.0). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2002-08-05 10:11 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 htdig-2.0.13-0.2.patch just adds a GPL notice to the patch ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2002-08-01 16:35 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 htdig-2.1b2-0.1.patch is a revised version of the patch that is compatible with MM 2.1b2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2002-07-30 11:25 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 htdig-2.0.13-0.1.patch is purely cosmetic to get no mumble application to MM 2.0.13 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2002-07-25 15:07 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 Do not use htdig-2.0.12-0.1.patch there is an error in it.

While specified as for MM 2.0.8 the revised patch should work OK with 2.0.7, 2.0.6 and probably back as far as 2.0.3. If you do not have the requirement for using other than http addressing in you lists web_page_urls it probably isn't worth the trouble of upgrading to this patch level. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2001-11-28 11:08 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 This patch should also apply without problems to MM 2.0.8 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2001-11-27 12:00 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 This patch should also apply without problems to Mm 2.0.7 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2001-11-09 11:54 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 The htdig-2.0.6-03.patch version of the patch makes some previously hard-coded things configurable and enhances the capability to run the htdig searches and indexing on a different machine to the one delivering Mailman and Mailman's web UI. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=444884&group_i…
