This release contains a fix for a remove code execution vulnerability.
It is recommended to update ASAP!
Thanks to Marcel Mangold marcel.mangold@syss.de, Pascal Uter
pascal.uter@syss.de from SySS GmbH for discovering and reporting the
problem to us.
The new version contains 3 major parts:
a) already mentioned fix for remove code execution vulnerability
b) further security hardening of EGroupware as recommended by SySS GmbH:
- using now httponly and secure cookies (secure only if https is used to
login)
- header.inc.php uses for new installations or on update now secure
password hashes like they were used for accounts since some time now
- setup uses now a session instead of storing credentials in a cookie
- html downloads from Filemanager now either force a download or - if
brower supports - use a content-security-policiy header to mitigate risk
of session hijacking
- blowfish_crypt is now marked as most secure hashing algorithmus for
passwords and used by default on new installations
c) regular bugfixes in all modules since 1.8.004 see
http://www.egroupware.org/changelog
Thanks to everyone who helped with this release.
We are currently working on a new shared community and EPL release
expected later this year. It will contain exicting new features, a
complete new look and some previous EPL-only features will become
available to the whole EGroupware comunity.
