RE: [EXTERNAL] [VOTE RESULTS]: Xerces-J 2.12.0 release

2018-05-22 Thread Michael Glavassevich
CVE-2018-2799 was the only one we asked about, but it was security@'s 
opinion that we didn't need a new CVE for that one. Honestly, this isn't a 
subject I know much about. I think if this had been reported through the 
security team (under the assumption it was a newly discovered issue), 
following through the process [1] a new CVE would have been requested.

Thanks.

RE: [EXTERNAL] [VOTE RESULTS]: Xerces-J 2.12.0 release

2018-05-22 Thread David Dillard
Hi Michael,

That’s ok for CVE-2012-0881<https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2012-0881>, 
though the CPEs (affected software and versions) should be updated to reflect 
that the issue was fixed in 2.12.0.  I’m happy to send that request in if you 
like.

However, for CVE-2013-4002<https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2013-4002> and 
CVE-2018-2799<https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-2799> I’m going to 
disagree , as neither of them even mentions Xerces.  As is, the only way anyway 
would know that those two vulnerabilities were fixed in Xerces is to read the 
Xerces release announcement.  So, if someone relies on tools like Dependency 
Check, Black Duck or White Source (which can scan jars for known 
vulnerabilities) there’d be no issue flagged for Xerces 2.11.0 or earlier.  
That’s bad.  I don’t think updating the CPEs for either of those 
vulnerabilities is really an option and IBM and Oracle issued them and the 
descriptions are specific to their products.  I think new CVEs are needed for 
these issues.

Fixing vulnerabilities is obviously important, but making it easy for people to 
know those vulnerabilities have been fixed is also important.


Regards,

David

I thought the CVE was mentioned in the release announcement.

The security team did eventually respond to us and said we shouldn't need a new 
CVE since it's the same source code that's affected.

Michael (our PMC chair) wrote to Apache security@ about this issue, a day
or two ago. But there's been no response from Apache security@ yet. If
there's a reply from Apache security@ later about this, we could declare
these details (i.e security advisory you talked about) as a separate note.
But for now, it would be good that we make a announcement to the lists
about the Xerces 2.12.0 release.

I've uploaded Xerces-J 2.12.0 release candidates (the revised one) to [1] for

in JIRA. 81 issues (plus issues that were mentioned, during the review of 1st

Test results have been looking good, so I'd like to call an official vote now
