Description Bill McGonigle 2009-09-10 16:41:42 UTC
It looks like we're going to need some urgent packaging and pushes to stable in very short order:

-------- Original Message --------
Subject: [ANN] Warning: Major Security Release Coming Soon
Date: Wed, 09 Sep 2009 17:06:08 -0700
From: Max Kanat-Alexander <mkanat>
Organization: Bugzilla Project
To: announce

	A major security issue has been discovered in versions of Bugzilla back
to 3.0. We will be releasing a version of Bugzilla which fixes the issue
within 48 hours (possibly within 24 hours), and all administrators
should be ready to perform the upgrade (which does not require any
database changes) shortly after the new version is released.

	If you do not wish to do a full upgrade, patches for just the security
issue will be available. The patches are relatively small and do not
modify very much of Bugzilla.

	-Max Kanat-Alexander
	Release Manager, Bugzilla Project

Thank you for packaging bugzilla.

Comment 6 Bill McGonigle 2009-09-15 20:56:45 UTC
I had a problem with the update not properly applying.  After debugging it's not really the package's fault, but some improved Requires would help.

It turned out my yum metadata was boned again.  So, I had an previous version of perl-Email-MIME-Encodings.  When checksetup.pl is run in %post, it was complaining about an older version of Email::MIME::Encodings, and not getting to pre-compiling my templates.  So, the symptom was that the version displayed on the web page headers never got updated, even though all the code was installed fine.

Looking at the SPEC, I see:

  Requires: webserver, patchutils, mod_perl, perl(SOAP::Lite), which

I think we need to list all of the current perl module requirements and the versions (when checksetup will fail if they don't meet).

In that case, I'd at least have seen RPM grumble at me rather than silently failing.  Should I file a separate bug?

Painful but I don't see any other alternatives.
I'll ask around for opinions on this.

Yes, please do.
