Re: Updates to cacti for CVE-2023-39361 (CVSS 9.8)?

2023-11-13 Thread Alex Murray

Re: Apache2 Vulnerability

2023-09-14 Thread Alex Murray
Hi Daniel In Ubuntu we generally do not upgrade to new package versions to fix security issues but instead backport the individual fixes. As such you should not expect to see say apache 2.4.56 in Ubuntu 23.04. Instead we just add the minimal change needed to fix the vulnerability on top of the

Hi In Ubuntu we generally do not upload new versions of packages once a particular Ubuntu release is made. Instead when a security bug (CVE) is announced, if the version of the particular package in that Ubuntu release is affected, the security team will backport the patch which fixes the bug to

Hi Josh, The Ubuntu Security team endeavours to support the various packages in each Ubuntu release for the lifetime of the Ubuntu release itself, regardless of corresponding upstream project's release / support cycles. In this case, even though upstream RabbitMQ will be ending support for

Hi Reginaldo, I am taking a look at this now for Ubuntu (note as redis is in universe it is community maintained but since this is a relatively trivial fix and you are planning to release a PoC exploit I have taken this on myself). Thanks, Alex On Thu, 2022-03-03 at 16:21:19 -0300, Reginaldo
