Class Throttler implements the bruteforce protection for security actions in
Nextcloud.
It is working by logging invalid login attempts to the database and slowing
down all login attempts from the same subnet. The max delay is 30 seconds and
the starting delay are 200 milliseconds. (after the first failed login)
mod_rewrite as used by the front controller may require a `RewriteBase` in case the installation is done using an alias. Since we cannot enforce a writable `.htaccess` file this will move the `front_controller_active` environment variable into the main .htaccess file. If administrators decide to have this one not writable they can still enable this feature by setting the `front_controller_active` environment variable within the Apache config.
We need to store the owner of a file in the db to do efficient queries
on the owner of a file. Without this we need to construct fill paths for
each file id in the table and see who the owner of a file is. Which does
not scale.
version.php now contains the previous ownCloud version from which
upgrades are allowed. Any other upgrades will show a message that the
upgrade/downgrade is not supported.
In case encryption was not enabled, we accidently set encrypted = 1 for
files inside mount points, since 8.1.0. This breaks opening the files in
8.1.1 because we fixed the code that checks if a file is encrypted.
In order to fix the file, we need to reset the flag of the file. However,
the flag might be set because the file is in fact encrypted because it was
uploaded at a time where encryption was enabled.
So we can only do this when:
- Current version of ownCloud before the update is 8.1.0 or 8.2.0.(0-2)
- Encryption is disabled
- files_encryption is not known in the app config
If the first two are not the case, we are save. However, if files_encryption
values exist in the config, we might have a false negative here.
Now if there is no file with unencrypted size greater 0, that means there are
no files that are still encrypted with "files_encryption" encryption. So we
can also safely reset the flag here.
If this is not the case, we go with "better save then sorry" and don't change
the flag but write a message to the ownCloud log file.
