Self Intro and BZ

[Jason Taylor]

Hi All,

Just wanted to drop a quick intro and say hi. I currently work as a
Linux admin and have very recently started helping as a package
maintainer.

I have grabbed:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=890907

Initial research shows that the moin el5 package (1.5.9-1) has been
orphaned and is far behind what we have in fedora (1.9.7-3).

Would the first step be to see if vpv (moin fedora package maintainer)
would be willing to submit the current fedora package for epel?

TIA

JT

Fedora maintainer may at least be able to hint if recent packages are
compatible with the version in EPEL, i.e. if they can be offered as
upgrade to users without breaking their existing installations.

There are few components in EPEL that are already provided in multiple
versions, older one probably unmaitained - mediawiki and mediawiki119,
Django14 and python-django15, phpMyAdmin and phpMyAdmin3.

I am trying to reproduce the vulnerability on the affected version , To see if
it's actually vulnerable.

Will report the results back to the team soon.

A help form anyone who is already familiar with the code base of a
specific affected component, or is familiar enough with it to be able
to test applied fix, is definitely welcome.

I am trying to ascertain if the package is indeed vulnerable to CVE's mentioned
in the BZ, I will post my updates to the list.

Where i am currently:

Have installed  pki-ca, pki-kra, pki-tks, pki-tps and configured to verify if
the CVE's are applicable.  Currently there are some issues to access the TPS
admin interface, If this issue turns out to be a bug, then CVE's may not be
applicable (because to take advantage of the vulnerability one has to login to
tps admin interface.) , I have mailed  package maintainer for further help in
this regard.

I will post the updates on this.

If any body else have any more pointers on this. Do let me know

Niranjan
