[Fedora-directory-users] Security vulnerability in fedora-ds-admin (April 22, 2008)

[Rich Megginson]

The fedora-ds-admin-1.1.0 package has a couple of security vulnerabilities:

    * CVE-2008-0892 Directory Server: shell command injection in CGI
      replication monitor -
      https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=437301
    * CVE-2008-0893 Directory Server: unrestricted access to CGI scripts
      - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=437320

The new package is fedora-ds-admin-1.1.4-1 This package is available 
from the Fedora yum repository for F-7 and later, or from the dirsrv yum 
repo on Fedora 6 and EL5. See Install_Guide 
<http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Install_Guide> for information 
about how to use these yum repositories for your platform.

There are also updates to the adminutil (new version 1.1.6) and to some 
of the other packages. These updates are recommended.

*NOTE for Fedora 8 and later users:* all of the packages are now in the 
standard Fedora repos. Please remove your 
/etc/yum.repos.d/idmcommon.repo and /etc/yum.repos.d/dirsrv.repo files 
before you install or upgrade. See Install_Guide 
<http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Install_Guide> for more 
information.

*NOTE for Fedora 6, 7 and EL5 users:* You may get an error about a 
missing dependency fedora-admin-console when upgrading. If you get this 
error, remove the old fedora-ds package (yum erase fedora-ds) and 
upgrade again.
