[jira] [Commented] (LUCENE-8807) Change all download URLs in build
files to HTTPS
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8807?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16844852#comment-16844852 ]
Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-8807:
---------------------------------------
Patch: [^LUCENE-8807.patch]
I tested this:
- Nuked whole IVY cache and ran "ant resolve".
- Rebuild kuromoji
- ran "ant ivy-bootstrap" after deleting the file
- downloaded some benchmark files (although the benchmark mdoules documentation how to get data files is not existent...)

> Components: general/build
> Affects Versions: 8.1
> Reporter: Uwe Schindler
> Assignee: Uwe Schindler
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: master (9.0), 8.2, 8.1.1

> At least for Lucene this is not a security issue, because we have checksums for all downloaded JAR dependencies, but ASF asked all projects to ensure that download URLs for dependencies are using HTTPS:
> {quote}
> [...] Projects like Lucene do checksum whitelists of
> all their build dependencies, and you may wish to consider that as a
> protection against threats beyond just MITM [...]
> {quote}
> This patch fixes the URLs for most files referenced in {{*build.xml}} and {{*ivy*.xml}} to HTTPS. There are a few data files in benchmark which use HTTP only, but that's uncritical and I added a TODO. Some were broken already.
> I removed the "uk.maven.org" workarounds for Maven, as this does not work with HTTPS. By keeping those inside, we break the whole chain of trust, as any non-working HTTPS would fallback to the insecure uk.maven.org Maven mirror.
> As the great chinese firewall is changing all the time, we should just wait for somebody complaining.
