Bug Description

[Impact]

IBus was broken for Qt applications as a regression due to the fix of CVE-2019-14822. As a result the IBus patch was disabled temporarily, which fixed IBus from a usability POV.

The real fix has been made in glib2.0, and the updates in -proposed will allow the IBus patch to be re-enabled.

[Test Case]

 * On a standard Ubuntu {eoan,disco,bionic,xenial} installation
   - Upgrade the glib2.0 packages from
     {eoan,disco,bionic,xenial}-proposed
   - Upgrade the ibus packages from
     https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-security-proposed/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
   - Install some IBus input method, e.g. ibus-libpinyin
   - Install some Qt application, e.g. Kate

* Relogin (maybe reboot)

* Add the input method to the input sources

* Open the Qt app and try to input something using the IBus IM

=> Find that the transliteration works as expected

[Regression Potential]

The applicable patches origin from glib upstream:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/merge_requests/1176
Consequently the changes have been reviewed by the glib maintainer, but also tested by the IBus maintainer, by me (gunnarhj), and - of course - the author Simon McVittie. The changes have been in Debian unstable since 2019-10-30.

[Original description]

Kubuntu Release 18.04.3 LTS

Expected behavior:
ibus continues working as before after applying security update 1.5.17-ubuntu5.1 from version 1.5.17-ubuntu5.

Observed behavior:
ibus is not usable anymore in Qt applications.

After updating ibus and the related packages ibus-gtk, ibus-gtk3, libibus-1.0-5 and gir1.2-ibus-1.0 all from version 1.5.17-ubuntu5 to 1.5.17-ubuntu5.1, I can no longer use ibus in Qt applications. Using shift-space no longer changes the selected input method and even when i switch to the mozc input method in a gtk application, i can not use it in any Qt applications.
When starting qtconfig in a terminal, I also get the following message:

Bus::open: Connect ibus failed!
IBusInputContext::createInputContext: no connection to ibus-daemon

This bug was not present in version 1.5.17-3ubuntu5 and I also confirmed that downgrading the packages to version 1.5.17-3ubuntu4 restores ibus functionality in Qt applications.

The problem is not bionic specific (ibus 1.5.17). Myself has confirmed it both on 19.04 (with ibus 1.5.19) and 19.10 (with ibus 1.5.21).

So the upstream commit which was backported breaks Qt, and AFAIK the problem hasn't been resolved upstream yet.

Hmm.. Since the security team plans to let the ibus packages break on previous libglib2.0-0, I dropped the step in the test case to reproduce the previous bug.

I've sponsored all the SRUs now. I also backported the testcase for bionic. On xenial the same testcase *hangs*. That is likely to be due to some assumptions about gdbus that aren't true back then, but be sure to verify this release extra carefully.

@gunnarhj - updated packages for ibus are now available in the ubuntu-security-proposed PPA at https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-security-proposed/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

Also I note the bug descriptions lists ibus in Focal as Fix Released - but the latest version in focal (1.5.21-1~exp2ubuntu2) is the one with the patch reverted - would you like me to upload an updated focal version as well to the above PPA?

Yeah.. ibus without specified series was marked "Fix Released" when the CVE patch was disabled, and when I targeted to series for glib2.0, it happened for ibus too (I removed all series bug focal). So there is really no message in it.

It's not needed for the SRU verification. Alternatively you could just upload to focal as soon as glib2.0 2.62.2-2 makes it to focal-release (it's stuck in -proposed right now).

(On IRC I was also talking about another ibus change in focal, which will require an apparmor change, but let's deal with that separately to not complicate things too much.)

I think everything other than eoan can be released: all the test failures are unrelated.

For eoan, I'll check out what is happening with glib2.0's own tests/i386. I thought the .4 version was going to fix that. :(

I have verified the testcase

- on bionic using version 2.56.4-0ubuntu0.18.04.5 of the libglib2.0-* packages from bionic-proposed and version 1.5.17-3ubuntu5.3 of the ibus packages from ppa:ubuntu-security-proposed/ppa

- on xenial using version 2.48.2-0ubuntu4.5 of the libglib2.0-* packages from xenial-proposed and version 1.5.11-1ubuntu2.4 of the ibus packages from ppa:ubuntu-security-proposed/ppa

As regards the autopkgtest failures, please see comment #29.

Marked the disco bug task as "Won't Fix" since disco is EOL.

    d/p/GDBus-prefer-getsockopt-style-credentials-passing-APIs.patch:
    - Ensure libdbus clients can authenticate with a GDBusServer like

      without breaking ibus for Qt applications (LP: #1844853).

The verification of the Stable Release Update for glib2.0 has completed successfully and the package is now being released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.
