On August 15, shuckins-r7 merged the Metasploit 4.10.0 branch
(staging/electro-release) into master. Rather than merging with
history, he squashed all history into two commits (see
149c3ecc63 and
82760bf5b3).
We want to preserve history (for things like git blame, git log, etc.).
So on August 22, we reverted the commits above (see
19ba7772f3).
This merge commit merges the staging/electro-release branch
(62b81d6814) into master
(48f0743d1b). It ensures that any changes
committed to master since the original squashed merge are retained.
As a side effect, you may see this merge commit in history/blame for the
time period between August 15 and August 22.
This fixes a huge number of hard-to-detect runtime bugs
that occur when a default utf-8 string from one of these
libraries is passed into a method expecting ascii-8bit
MSP-10998
It's compacting of the version parts into a single float doesn't work
with APIMinor over 10, so replace with Gem::Version, which compares
parts correctly.
[Fixes#38426061, #38097411]
Msf::Modules::Loader::Directory#read_module_content may calculate a non-existent
module_path that gets passed to File.open causing an Errno::ENOENT exception
to be raised when using the module cache with a module that has been
moved to a new path (as is the case that originally found this bug) or
deleted. Now, the exception is rescued and read_module_content returns
an empty string (''), which load_module detects with
module_content.empty? and returns earlier without attempting to module
eval the (empty) content.
As having Msf::Modules::Loader::Directory#read_module_content rescue the
exception, meant there was another place that needed to log and error
and store an error in Msf::ModuleManager#module_load_error_by_path, I
refactored the error reporting to call
Msf::Modules::Loader::Base#load_error, which handles writing to the log
and setting the Hash, so the error reporting is consistent across the
loaders.
The exception hierarchy was also refactored so that
namespace_module.metasploit_class now has an error raising counter-part:
namespace_module.metasploit_class! that can be used with
Msf::Modules::Loader::Base#load_error as it requires an exception, and
not just a string so the exception class, message, and backtrace can be
logged.
[Fixes#36737359]
Refactor Msf::ModuleManager into concerns so its easier to understand and
duplicate code can be made DRY. The refactoring also ensures that when
loading from directories, Fastlibs, or reloading, the wrapper module will
always be named so that activesupport/dependencies will function.
