[ledgersmb-announce] Security announcement for CVE-2018-9246 / PGObject::Util::DBAdmin

by Erik Huelsmann

This mail is sent to this mailing list because PGObject::Util::DBAdmin itself doesn't have a mailing list to send the disclosure to. We'll update its repository to reflect the announcement below.

Affected versions: PGObject::Util::DBAdmin versions 0.110.0 and lower. Vulnerability type: Insufficiently sanitized arguments in external program invocation Discoverer: Nick Prater (NP Broadcast LTD) Resolution: Upgrade to PGObject::Util::DBAdmin 0.120.0 or newer.

[ledgersmb-announce] LedgerSMB 1.6.0-rc2 released

by Erik Huelsmann

Hi, After the LedgerSMB 1.6.0-rc1 release of two weeks ago, work has continued and we've found and solved several issues. We're now releasing 1.6.0-rc2 with the fixes listed below for your testing. Please send feedback to devel(a)lists.ledgersmb.org or file your issues through GitHub ( https://github.com/ledgersmb/LedgerSMB/issues). Fixes in LedgerSMB 1.6.0-rc2 (over 1.6.0-rc1): - Add more scripts to help resolve schema migration problems - Fix mailing of invoices, orders, etc. - Fix UTF-8 encoding issue with schema migration check output - Fix CSV import code not processing uploaded input correctly - Correctly detect UTF-8 (due to BOM) on uploaded form content (files) - Fix e-mail attachments - Fix and clean up LedgerSMB::File module and children (with tests) Please note that we're releasing 1.6.0-rc2; this means we think this code is production ready and that the database schema is stable. You're highly encouraged to try this version, however, if you run it in production (even though some of the developers are), you should consider yourself an early adopter. We'd highly appreciate your testing and feedback. For an overview of the changes in version 1.6, please check our release notes: https://ledgersmb.org/content/16-release-notes; for an in-depth listing of the changes since 1.5, see our Changelog: https://github.com/ledgersmb/LedgerSMB/blob/master/Changelog#L2-L60 As always, the release can be downloaded from the download site: https://download.ledgersmb.org/f/Beta%20Releases/1.6.0-rc2/ Or Docker images can be pulled through: $ docker pull ledgersmb/ledgersmb:1.6 With our Docker Compose file ( https://github.com/ledgersmb/ledgersmb-docker/blob/1.6/docker-compose.yml), you can set up a full evaluation environment with a single command: $ docker-compose up -d from the directory where the docker-compose.yml file is stored. -- Bye, Erik. http://efficito.com -- Hosted accounting and ERP.
