Description David Walser 2014-06-20 16:44:26 CEST
OpenSuSE has issued an advisory today (June 20):
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-updates/2014-06/msg00043.html

The issue is fixed upstream in 1.3.2.

Since we have version 1.3.2 in Mageia 3, Mageia 4, and Cauldron, it may be easier to update it.  Otherwise, OpenSuSE's patch for 0.9.5 may be adaptable.  I haven't found any reference to the upstream commit.

Reproducible:

Whoops, I meant 1.3.3.

The patch OpenSuSE added for 0.9.5 doesn't look forward-portable to 1.3.2.  Fedora has yet to address this issue, so I guess we'll wait for them.

Removing Mageia 3 from the whiteboard due to EOL.

I've checked the update into Mageia 4 and Cauldron SVN.  It needs to be submitted (and hopefully it can be built).

Comment 5 David Walser 2014-12-24 21:26:55 CET
It looks like it needs some of the removed packages (in Cauldron) to build; at least apache-poi that I noticed.  That'll need to resynced with Fedora before it's re-imported to fix the issues in Bug 14128.
Comment 6 David Walser 2014-12-24 23:04:36 CET
apache-poi has indeed been resynced with Fedora in SVN.  Sophie says it isn't in Cauldron, but I tried to submit it to Cauldron and mgarepo/youri says that it's already there.
Comment 7 Pascal Terjan 2014-12-24 23:10:19 CET
Things are still in progress restoring things in cauldron but it should be there.

I hope to finish to building eclipse-* in the next few hours (almost there) then I'll have a look.
Comment 8 David Walser 2014-12-27 23:07:37 CET
Updated packages uploaded for Mageia 4 and Cauldron.

Verifying that the updated packages install cleanly is sufficient for testing this update.

Advisory:
========================

Updated castor packages fix security vulnerability:

The default configuration for the Xerces SAX Parser in Castor before 1.3.3
allows context-dependent attackers to conduct XML External Entity (XXE)
attacks via a crafted XML document (CVE-2014-3004).
