KDE Gear 21.04
Thursday, 22 April 2021
Welcome to KDE Gear ⚙️ 21.04!
KDE produces literally dozens of apps for work, play, education, and
creativity. Kontact, for example, gives you control over all your email,
contact, and agenda; Itinerary keeps you up to date with everything you
need regarding your trips; the KAlgebra graphing calculator works
equally well on your desktop and your phone; Cantor provides you with an
intuitive way of analyzing data and graphing the results; and Kdenlive
makes cutting and building sophisticated-looking videos not only easy,
but fun as well.
These are but a few of the apps releasing new updates today. When
combined with the KDE’s powerful Plasma desktop, they provide you with
most, if not all, the tools you need to be productive in a versatile and
flexible Linux^WFreeBSD environment.
But you don’t even need to run Linux! Many of the apps in this
announcement work on Windows, macOS, and Android as well. This is what
convergent means for KDE: use your favorite apps anywhere, on any
system, on your work computer, mobile or even on your TV!
And, remember: KDE’s apps, the Plasma desktop, Plasma Mobile, Plasma
BigScreen and all the rest of KDE’s software are free and open source.
No licensing, no hidden costs, no spying. Share them with your friends,
install them at work, or use them in your school lab. It is your
software to enjoy where and how you want.

KDE Project Security Advisory
=============================
Title: Ark: maliciously crafted TAR archive with symlinks can install files outside the extraction directory.
Risk Rating: Important
CVE: CVE-2020-24654
Versions: ark <= 20.08.0
Author: Elvis Angelaccio <elvis.angelaccio@kde.org>
Date: 27 August 2020
Overview
========
A maliciously crafted TAR archive containing symlink entries
would install files anywhere in the user's home directory upon extraction.
Proof of concept
================
For testing, an example of malicious archive can be found at
https://github.com/jwilk/traversal-archives/releases/download/0/dirsymlink.tar
Impact
======
Users can unwillingly install files like a modified .bashrc, or a malicious
script placed in ~/.config/autostart.
Workaround
==========
Before extracting a downloaded archive using the Ark GUI, users should inspect it
to make sure it doesn't contain symlink entries pointing outside the extraction folder.
The 'Extract' context menu from the Dolphin file manager shouldn't be used.
Solution
========
Ark 20.08.1 skips maliciously crafted symlinks when extracting TAR archives.
Alternatively, https://invent.kde.org/utilities/ark/-/commit/8bf8c5ef07b0ac5e914d752681e470dea403a5bd can be applied to previous
releases.
Credits
=======
Thanks to Fabian Vogt for reporting this issue and for fixing it.

Overview
========
A maliciously crafted archive with "../" in the file paths
would install files anywhere in the user's home directory upon extraction.

to make sure it doesn't contain entries with "../" in the file path.
Solution

Ark 20.08.0 prevents loading of malicious archives and shows a warning message
to the users.

KDE's April 2020 Apps Update
A new bundle of KDE applications is here! In these releases, you can expect to

leaps and bounds. This release brings a new “Now Playing” view, easy
accessibility through the system tray, and an option to minimize the playlist
whenever you want. Thanks to the recently-added visual shuffle mode, it’s much
easier to rearrange your music in the playlists.
These are just the highlights of what’s new in KDE’s applications this month.

antoine@ for the exp-runs,
tcberner@ for most of the prep-work,
the Gentoo community for cherry-picking patches
There are a bunch of changes in (implicitly included) headers, which
broke existing KDE Applications builds; that's why there are a whole
bunch of "patch-gentoo-kf5-5.61-headers" patches (taken from Gentoo
packaging). Those will go away with the next KDE Applications release,

to GCC 9.1 under most circumstances now after revision 507371.
This includes ports
- with USE_GCC=yes or USE_GCC=any,
- with USES=fortran,
- using Mk/bsd.octave.mk which in turn features USES=fortran, and
- with USES=compiler specifying openmp, nestedfct, c11, c++0x, c++11-lang,

This makes it possible to build on non-x86 with default options. Support
for rar archives is via external executables, so there is no change in the
port's compiled artifacts.
Thanks linimon@ for the functional part of the change. While here,
polish up descriptions and links and bits and bobs.

As the patch says, when ZSTD support is present creating a regular .tar archive
will end up creating a zstd file instead. In my tests, this prevented
adding/remove entries from the archive at all.
MFH: 2019Q1
|
|
Starting with version 18.12.0, Ark has included a custom kerfuffle.xml mime
type to support zstd-compressed files (the mimetype was only added to
shared-mime-info starting with version 1.11, which we don't ship yet). We need
to make sure update-mime-database is run, otherwise Ark will still fail to
recognize those archives.
