CVE-2024-23831[0]: | LedgerSMB is a free web-based double-entry accounting system. When a | LedgerSMB database administrator has an active session in /setup.pl, | an attacker can trick the admin into clicking on a link which | automatically submits a request to setup.pl without the admin's | consent. This request can be used to create a new user account with | full application (/login.pl) privileges, leading to privilege | escalation. The vulnerability is patched in versions 1.10.30 and | 1.11.9. If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.

Bug#1028924: ledgersmb: Init script calls start-stop-daemon incorrectly, fails to start

Package: ledgersmb Version: 1.6.9+ds-2+deb11u3 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: j-dbug.666.114.1101(a)x.firehead.org Dear Maintainer, I installed LedgerSMB with defaults on Debian-11 with sysvinit (instead of systemd). When I try to start the daemon, it produces the following output: # /etc/init.d/ledgersmb start $Starting ledgersmb: start-stop-daemon: unrecognized option '--interval=5' Try 'start-stop-daemon --help' for more information. # I am not an expert on start-stop-daemon, but looking at the init script, it seems start-stop-daemon is invoked with /usr/bin/start_server as the intended program to run, which then has further arguments for that to start /usr/bin/starman. However the start-stop-daemon invocation lacks a "--start" argument prior to the /usr/bin/start_server, and the "--start" seems to be the norm among other uses of start-stop-daemon in the system's /etc/init.d/* files. So maybe the init script is for some completely different version of start-stop-daemon, or the arguments are really for a different program, or something.

LedgerSMB 1.13 beta2 uploaded: feedback requested
by Erik Huelsmann 10 Aug '25

10 Aug '25

Today the project released version 1.13.0-beta2 tarball and Docker images. The release tarball can be found at https://download.ledgersmb.org/f/Beta%20Releases/1.13.0-beta2/ ; the docker images have been published to Docker Hub and GitHub Container Registry: ghcr.io/ledgersmb/ledgersmb:1.13.0-beta2 docker.io/ledgersmb/ledgermb:1.13.0-beta2 The Docker images have been changed: there is no need for a separate reverse proxy setup anymore: the reverse proxy is now included in the image. LedgerSMB is now exposed on port 80 (in addition to port 5762). In addition to deployment through Docker, there is now an installer available: https://get.ledgersmb.org. On Debian and Fedora (and many of their derivatives like RedHat, Ubuntu and Mint), this installer automates much of the installation process. FEEDBACK REQUESTED: please test this beta release (on a copy of your data!) with your use-cases and report any problems to the devel@ mailing list or as issues on GitHub. That will allow us to assess whether the software is ready for a final release and at the same time helps you receive the best release possible. Your help is greatly appreciated! If you're unable to test, please consider contributing a translation via our Transifex project at https://app.transifex.com/ledgersmb/ledgersmb/dashboard/. -- Bye, Erik. http://efficito.com -- Hosted accounting and ERP. Robust and Flexible. No vendor lock-in.
