https://github.com/libguestfs/nbdkit

NBD is a protocol for accessing block devices (hard disks and
disk-like things) over the network.

'nbdkit' is a toolkit for creating NBD servers.

The key features are:

* Multithreaded NBD server written in C with good performance.

* Well-documented, simple plugin API with a stable ABI guarantee.
  Let's you export "unconventional" block devices easily.

* Liberal license (BSD) allows nbdkit to be linked to proprietary
  libraries or included in proprietary code.

Several example plugins are included in the package.

To develop plugins, install the nbdkit-devel package and start by
reading the nbdkit(1) and nbdkit-plugin(3) manual pages.

Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2013-06-24 15:06:57 UTC
We might want to put the plugins in a subpackage (now or
later).  The reason is that if we have then in the main
nbdkit package, then that package will depend on all the
libraries that the plugins need.  Currently:

$ rpm -qR nbdkit
libc.so.6()(64bit)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.14)(64bit)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit)

Comment 6 Matthew Booth 2013-06-24 16:01:34 UTC
QUERIES
=======

It's a server, but it doesn't contain a systemd unit. Should it?

PROBLEMS
========

I'm pretty sure the %changelog format should be:
* Mon Jun 24 2013 Richard W.M. Jones <rjones> - 1.0.0-1
(Note the additional '-', no idea why)

Missing fully versioned dependency on -devel package:
 Requires: %{name}%{?_isa} = %{version}-%{release} in nbdkit-devel

Example plugins are all packaged and installed, including:
nbdkit: /usr/lib64/nbdkit/plugins/nbdkit-example1-plugin.so
nbdkit: /usr/lib64/nbdkit/plugins/nbdkit-example2-plugin.so
nbdkit: /usr/lib64/nbdkit/plugins/nbdkit-example3-plugin.so


REPORTED NON-PROBLEMS
=====================

Detected GPL (v2 or later) is a false positive on ltmail.sh

It's a server/daemon, but spec doesn't enable hardened build. Why?

Comment 8 Richard W.M. Jones 2013-06-24 16:10:39 UTC
(In reply to Matthew Booth from comment #6)
> QUERIES
> =======

> It's a server, but it doesn't contain a systemd unit. Should it?

Good question, but I think not.  The reason is that you
can't "just run" it without at least specifying a plugin
and a file to serve, and even if you assume the default
plugin should be 'file' it's not clear what file you would
want to serve by default.

Fixed.

I guess missing %{?_isa}?  Fixed.

Yup, that's intentional.

I have no idea -- they're just built using standard automake
libtool rules, eg:

https://github.com/libguestfs/nbdkit/blob/master/plugins/example1/Makefile.am#L37

We don't remove any options from CFLAGS.

Comment 12 Matthew Booth 2013-06-24 16:34:38 UTC
Discussion of _hardened_build options aside, I think this meets the packaging guidelines. That could perhaps move into a separate BZ so it doesn't get lost.

but autocrap's libtool does when assembling single objects to lib.so

adding this BEFORE %configure in spec-file should fix one issue:

# force Immediate binding for hardenend build with autocrap libtool
export LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -Wl,-z,now"

It's still not quite right.  With this change, I get:

$ hardening-check /usr/lib64/nbdkit/plugins/nbdkit-example1-plugin.so
/usr/lib64/nbdkit/plugins/nbdkit-example1-plugin.so:
 Position Independent Executable: no, regular shared library (ignored)
 Stack protected: no, not found!
 Fortify Source functions: no, only unprotected functions found!
 Read-only relocations: yes
 Immediate binding: yes

It looks like fortify source CFLAGS are being dropped somewhere.

According to build.log CFLAGS are always applied correctly.  Do these plugins which fail stack-protector even do any operation on stack or are they performing on heap, only?

There's really no "funny business" about them at all.  See:

https://github.com/libguestfs/nbdkit/blob/master/plugins/example1/example1.c
https://github.com/libguestfs/nbdkit/blob/master/plugins/example2/example2.c
https://github.com/libguestfs/nbdkit/blob/master/plugins/example3/example3.c

The first one happens to have a large uninitialized data
section, but the others are just normal C code.  None of them
are fortified according to hardening-check.
