Comment 1 Tomas Hoger 2011-01-26 15:47:22 UTC
EPEL-4 and EPEL-5 have 3.2.4 currently, EPEL-6 has 3.4.5.

Comment 2 Xavier Bachelot 2011-05-02 22:48:36 UTC
Please find attached a patch serie for the EL5 branch that merges F11 branch (update up to 3.2.6) then updates to 3.2.10, which fixes all of the above CVEs. This has been build tested but not run tested yet.

Something similar can be done for EL6, let me know if there is any interest in this. I currently can't test this until Centos 6 is out.

Comment 12 Vincent Danen 2011-05-16 21:01:12 UTC
Why do you want to do all this patching?  Better to upgrade to the latest upstream 3.2.x and 3.4.x.  EPEL is sorely out-dated and vulnerable to a _lot_ of things with those old versions.

Because EPEL is tied to the same rules as RHEL, that is no major update during the lifetime of the release (if at all possible indeed). Also, bugzilla updates to a later point releases are not transparent, you have to manually run some scripts and that is not desirable either. AFAIU, 3.2.10 is the latest in the still maintained 3.2 serie and closes all known security issues. All the patches are because I've taken all the changesets from another Fedora branch, there's no major surgery to the bugzilla code in there. Anyway, I'm not the maintainer for bugzilla, I just thought it might help him bite the bullet and fix all those nasty CVEs.

Comment 14 Vincent Danen 2011-05-20 15:50:56 UTC
Ahhh, ok.  Fair enough.  That makes sense (although I think for web apps, running the latest version would be best, but who am I to argue with policy?).  Thanks for the assistance then.

Comment 15 Xavier Bachelot 2011-07-17 21:43:48 UTC
Itamar, I've requested commit rights to the EPEL branches in order to fix this issues myself (xavierb).

Comment 19 Bill McGonigle 2011-11-06 06:09:09 UTC
As of today this update is still in pending, not in testing yet.  What needs to be done to get it into testing?

I downloaded the rpm from koji, and a checksetup/smoketest looks fine.

I guess you are talking about the EL5 build, as the EL6 one is in testing already. As such I'm not sure which build you tested.
Anyway, it's not pushed to testing because I hadn't had time to do thorough testing. the 3.2 branch is not supported by upstream anymore and I had to backport a number of fixes. Actually, I think the build would rather be in testing than in koji, so I'm going to push it there.

Comment 21 Fedora Update System 2011-11-06 10:37:58 UTC
bugzilla-3.2.10-2.el5 has been submitted as an update for Fedora EPEL 5.

Comment 22 Bill McGonigle 2011-11-06 17:16:31 UTC
Sorry, to be unclear.  I was talking about EL6 - this build, I think:

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2011-3863?_csrf_token=869aab4e96b2058cbcd9cbe89aac19f0925fe568

It currently says it's 'pending' and not yet pushed to any repos.  If I enable only the updates-testing repo and do a 'yum list bugzilla' I don't get any hits either, so I think that's right.

It was this build I pulled from koji and smoke-tested.

The way I personally evaluate this is that there are /known/ problems (disclosed security ones at that). There may also be problems with your patches (thank you for backporting!) but we don't know that, so better to err on the side of getting the security updates out, and then fixing the unknown problems if reported.

Other people might reasonably take the more cautious approach, especially if their bugzilla isn't Internet-facing.  I don't know if Fedora offers guidance on which way to lean.

Comment 23 Xavier Bachelot 2011-11-06 22:27:26 UTC
Sorry about that, I thought I pushed at least the EL6 build but I did not. This is done now, fixed bugzilla builds are on their way to epel-testing for both EL5 and EL6.

Comment 24 Fedora Update System 2011-12-30 20:04:27 UTC
bugzilla-3.4.12-1.el6 has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 6 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.

Comment 25 Fedora Update System 2011-12-30 20:05:53 UTC
bugzilla-3.2.10-2.el5 has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 5 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
