[tdf-discuss] Security Advisories

2012-03-22 Thread NoOp
Why is it that security advisories such as this:

https://www.libreoffice.org/advisories/CVE-2012-0037/

are not posted on the user or announce lists?

The only way I found out about this was via a Redhat bug report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=791296
[Bug 791296 - (CVE-2012-0037) CVE-2012-0037 raptor: XML External Entity
(XXE) attack via RDF files ]
And then later on the ApacheOOO user list:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.incubator.ooo.user/866

It would be nice if someone 'official' (ala TDF) could post the
CVE-2012-0037 notice on both the user and announce lists.

It is now reported on the blog post.

Well just how many users are subscribed to a blog post? Nor do I think
that they (at least I don't) check www.libreoffice.org daily:

https://www.libreoffice.org/
Are these the posts that you are referring to?
http://blog.documentfoundation.org/2012/03/22/tdf-announces-libreoffice-3-4-6/
http://blog.documentfoundation.org/2012/03/15/libreoffice-3-5-1-provides-additional-security-and-stability/

Neither of those blog posts contain information regarding CVE-2012-0037.
Neither do the release logs or release notes. Nor is there any mention
of which bug reports are related to this issue - is there one?

LO 3.5.1 is showing:
LibreOffice 3.5.1 Final (2012-03-15)
The Redhat Bug report (Bug 791296) was dated 2012-03-16 - so LO was
aware of, and patched this in 3.5.1 prior to 15 March?

Lacking an LO Security Announce list, I just think that it would be nice
if such announcements were posted on the user  announce lists as well
and the blog.

LibreOffice shares security information with other projects on a mailing list 
hosted neutrally at freedesktop.org. As I understand it, the embargo on 
mentioning this CVE was only lifted today, so you've not overlooked it up to 
now.

That one now has a link to the CVE as the embargo has been lifted.

 http://blog.documentfoundation.org/2012/03/15/libreoffice-3-5-1-provides-additional-security-and-stability/

That one was published a week ago so could not have had the link to the CVE as 
it was still private to the collaborative security mailing list (that I don't 
belong to either by the way).

Personally I think that subscribing to the Announce list was enough in this 
case:
http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/announce/msg00092.html

Waiting until the embargo for the CVE lifted might have been smart, but 
otherwise all the information has been published in the places I would expect.
