Subject: [PATCH v4] obexd: Fix can't receive small files sent by windows

When obexd receives a file, it parses the filename and other parameters
when processing the packet for the first time, store filename in
obex_session and emit the dbus signal, The signal will be pending first.
then when this file is received, transfer_complete reset obex_session
is called.

When using a computer with Windows 10 installed to send a file to bluez,
obexd will read the data through read_stream; if it is a small file, the
data processed for the first time is marked as final, and
transfer_complete reset obex_session will be called when the data is
processed for the first time. At this point, the dbus signal is still
pending, and the dbus method that requests the file path has not been
processed. This will cause the upper application to not be able to
transfer files from the cache directory to the directory specified by
the user.

To solve this problem, emit Filename's dbus signal and force it when
status=active.

Ways to reproduce the problem:
1. Use the computer with windows 10 installed to send a small file to
the computer with ubuntu installed;
2. file size < 10k;
3. After sending, in most cases, the file is located in the
~/.cache/obexd/ directory. Normally, the file should be located in the
~/Download directory.

To fix this, after applying this commit, it also needs to be modified by
the upper-level application. Modified to read Filename from dbus signal
if there is Filename in dbus signal. Otherwise, use the dbus method to
request Filename.

So if I understand you correctly the problem is that Status does
transit directly to complete and end up swallowing the active state?
That is not necessarily a bug since the file would still be saved.

This doesn't sound right, we have chk_put callback that calls into
manager_request_authorization and that blocks untils the
agent->auth_pending responds, so it sounds like the agent is not
responding in time or windows is using ftp instead of opp? Well ftp
doesn't even use AuthorizePush, I'm also confused about the mention of
a cache directory and user specified directory, there are no such
things there only the root directory option which is used as default
location and AuthorizePush can opt to store in a different location if
necessary, but the transfer doesn't start until the agent reply
AuthorizePush or at least that what the code assumes with:

/* Workaround: process events while agent doesn't reply */
while (agent && agent->auth_pending)
g_main_context_iteration(NULL, TRUE);

Is ~/.cache/obexd its passed as -r/--root to obexd? Could it be that
the agent doesn't respond for some reason? e.g. the transfer status is
not active?

The method is used to accept the request, so something else is broken
if the file ends up being accepted before the user is able to accept
it, also it is probably a security breach if small files can bypass
the user authorization.

Hi, Luiz,
Thank you for your reply. I just started to study BlueZ. After receiving
your reply, I reread the code and tested it again with Ubuntu.

First of all, I think this is really a bug. Transfer small file from a
Windows 10 computer to a Linux computer with a graphical interface via
Bluetooth. After the transfer, the file cannot be found in the ~/Downloads
directory of the Linux computer, but the Linux computer has a prompt that
the file is in the ~/Downloads directory.

Windows uses opp, add use AuthorizePush.

The cache directory is "~/Cache/obexd". In my test, Authorizepush always
returns this directory; The user specified directory refers to the
directory specified by the user on the graphical interface, for example,
in ubuntu, Setting - Bluetooth, there will be a prompt "transferred files
are placed in the XXXX folder", default is "~/Downloads", You can change it
to another directory here. obexd stores the received files in the cached
directory, and after transfer completed, the upper-level program mv files
to user specified directory.

I first debug this problem on UOS(a linux distribution), the upper-level
application starts to request the filename after receiving the active
signal, so there must be this problem.

In ubuntu, first of all i found that it is very difficult to transfer
files from windows to ubuntu, because AuthorizePush always returns
forbidden directly. After installed blueman, it is possible to transfer
files.

I found that ubuntu calls the dbus method to request the name after
cmd_connect, so that the session->name, that is, the filename, is obtained
in the place you mentioned above, and there is no path. But in my test,
ubuntu does not mv the small file to the ~/Downloads directory in most cases,
and it will be fine after applying my patch. I don't understand the
upper-level program of ubuntu. I suspect it is related to the active signal?

"~/.cache/obexd" and agent are normal.

This patch won't have the security issues you mentioned, because the added
signals are all after AuthorizePush returns successfully. My test is that
before AuthorizePush returns or returns fail, no signal will be emitted and
file transfer will not start.

The method is used to request the file name and path. What I mean here is
that for the upper-level program, if there is a Filename in the dbus signal,
use this value, otherwise, call the dbus method to get it as before. In ubuntu
(without this patch), the file name is obtained before AuthorizePush returns.
