  • Chapter 7 Package Management
    Chapter 7 Package Management CERTIFICATION OBJECTIVES 7.01 The Red Hat Package Manager ✓ Two-Minute Drill 7.02 More RPM Commands Q&A Self Test 7.03 Dependencies and the yum Command 7.04 More Package Management Tools fter installation is complete, systems are secured, filesystems are configured, and other initial setup tasks are completed, you still have work to do. Almost certainly before your system is in the state you desire, you will be required to install or remove packages. To make sure the right updates are installed, you need to know how to get a system working with ARed Hat Subscription Management (RHSM) or the repository associated with a rebuild distribution. To accomplish these tasks, you need to understand how to use the rpm and yum commands in detail. Although these are “just” two commands, they are rich in detail. Entire books have been dedicated to the rpm command, such as the Red Hat RPM Guide by Eric 344 Chapter 7 Package Management Foster-Johnson. For many, that degree of in-depth knowledge of the rpm command is no longer necessary, given the capabilities of the yum command and the additional package management tools provided in RHEL 7. CERTIFICATION OBJECTIVE 7.01 The Red Hat Package Manager One of the major duties of a system administrator is software management. New applications are installed. Services are updated. Kernels are patched. Without the right tools, it can be difficult to figure out what software is on a system, what is the latest update, and what applications depend on other software.

    SUSE Best Practices Kernel Module Packages Manual for SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP2 or later and SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP2+, 15 Document Owner: Ann Davis, Senior Software Engineer, SUSE Kernel Module Packages Manual for SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP2 or later and SUSE Linux 1 Enterprise 15 SUSE-based distributions use the RPM Package Manager for software management. As such, any external kernel modules (these are kernel modules not included in SUSE kernel packages) should be packaged in RPM packages. These RPMs should be built in accordance with specic guidelines to ensure that the resulting Kernel Module Packages (KMPs) can be installed and updated appropriately, in synchronization with kernel updates. This document species the requirements for RPM packages that contain kernel modules, and describes the processes surrounding those packages including building, signing, installing and upgrading. A complete example is given and explained. This version of the Kernel Module Packages Manual applies to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 (Service Pack 2 and later), and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15, and all products based on these versions.

  • Package Management Security
    Package Management Security Justin Cappos, Justin Samuel, Scott Baker, John H. Hartman University of Arizona Computer Science Department {justin, jsamuel, bakers, jhh}@cs.arizona.edu Abstract Package management is the task of determining which packages should be installed on a host and then downloading and installing those packages. This paper examines the popular package managers APT and YUM and presents nine feasible attacks on them. There are attacks that install malicious packages, deny users package updates, or cause the host to crash. This work identifies three rules of package management security: don’t trust the repository, the trusted entity with the most information should be the one who signs, and don’t install untrusted packages. The violation of these rules leads to the described vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, many of the flaws are architectural in nature, so repair requires more than patches to APT and YUM. While the rules of package management security argue that the design of existing package managers is insufficient, they do not prescribe how to provide security. This led to the development of three de- sign principles for building a secure package manager: selective trust delegation, customized repository views, and explicitly treating the repository as untrusted. These principles were used to construct a pack- age manager Stork which is not vulnerable to the attacks identified for YUM and APT. Stork has been in use for four years and has managed over half a million clients. 1 Introduction Package managers are a popular way to distribute software (bundled into archives called packages) for modern operating systems [4, 11, 37].
