Description Vincent Danen 2013-08-07 15:50:08 UTC
Cacti 0.8.8b was released [1] which includes a security fix for "SQL injection and shell escaping issues".  Current Fedora and EPEL include 0.8.8a which is vulnerable to these flaws.  No other information is currently available, however the 0.8.8b release is primarily a bug fix so should be safe to rebase across the board.

Comment 6 Ken Dreyer 2013-08-08 21:37:19 UTC
Thanks for pointing out those commits. Since this is SQL injection, I'm still planning to push this to stable ASAP, even with the broken graphs, because I don't want to reset the timers in Bodhi. We can pick up those patches on a later release, assuming upstream won't ship 0.8.8c for those.

Comment 7 Ken Dreyer 2013-08-09 17:05:36 UTC
Link to upstream discussion about the graph regressions: http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=50602

(For Fedora and EPEL, we're still on track to get 0.8.8b into stable ASAP, as described in comment #6)
