RELEASE NOTES FOR KOHA 3.12.10
|
|
06 Feb 2014
|
|
========================================================================
|
|
|
|
Koha is the first free and open source software library automation package
|
|
(ILS). Development is sponsored by libraries of varying types and sizes,
|
|
volunteers, and support companies from around the world.
|
|
The website for the Koha project is
|
|
|
|
http://koha-community.org/
|
|
|
|
Koha 3.12.10 can be downloaded from:
|
|
|
|
http://download.koha-community.org/koha-3.12.10.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
Installation instructions can be found at:
|
|
|
|
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Installation_Documentation
|
|
|
|
OR in the INSTALL files that come in the tarball
|
|
|
|
|
|
Koha 3.12.10 is a security release and fixes four security bugs:
|
|
|
|
* bug 11660: tools/pdfViewer.pl could be used to read arbitrary
|
|
files on the server
|
|
* bug 11661: the staff interface help editor could be used to
|
|
modify or create arbitrary files on the server with
|
|
the privileges of the Apache user
|
|
* bug 11662: member-picupload.pl could be used to write to
|
|
arbitrary files on the server with the privileges of
|
|
the Apache user
|
|
* bug 11666: the MARC framework import/export function did not
|
|
require authentication, and could be used to perform
|
|
unexpected SQL commands
|
|
|
|
The fix for bug 11666 removes SQL as a supported format for
|
|
importing or exporting MARC frameworks.
|
|
|
|
We recommend that you upgrade immediately to get the fixes for
|
|
these security issues. However, if you are not able to perform
|
|
the upgrade right away, you can mitigate against the issues by
|
|
performing the following actions:
|
|
|
|
* deleting the pdfViewer.pl script
|
|
* deleting the member-picupload.pl script
|
|
* making edithelp.pl not be executable, e.g., by doing
|
|
"chmod a-x edithelp.pl"
|
|
* making import_export_framework.pl not be executable, which will
|
|
disable the MARC framework import and export functionality.
|
|
|
|
Our thanks to John Lightsey <john@nixnuts.net> for finding and
|
|
reporting the issues.
