[ANNOUNCE] Apache ShardingSphere UI 4.1.0 available

2020-05-10 Thread Zhang Yonglun
Hi all,

Apache ShardingSphere Team is glad to announce the new release of Apache
ShardingSphere UI 4.1.0.

ShardingSphere is an open-source ecosystem consisted of a set of
distributed database middleware solutions, including 2 independent
products, Sharding-JDBC & Sharding-Proxy.
They both provide functions of data sharding, distributed transaction and
database orchestration, applicable in a variety of situations such as Java
isomorphism, heterogeneous language.
Aiming at reasonably making full use of the computation and storage
capacity of the database in a distributed system, ShardingSphere defines
itself as a middleware, rather than a totally new type of database.
As the cornerstone of many enterprises, relational database still takes a
huge market share.
Therefore, at the current stage, we prefer to focus on its increment
instead of a total overturn.

[CVE-2018-1285] XXE vulnerability in Apache log4net

2020-05-10 Thread Matt Sicker
Summary: Apache log4net does not disable XML external entities when
parsing log4net configuration files. This could allow for XXE-based
attacks in applications that accept arbitrary configuration files from
users. [1]

Affected: log4net up to 2.0.8

Mitigation: as there are no further releases of log4net beyond 2.0.8,
and the Logging Services PMC has voted [2] to mark the project
dormant, users should not allow arbitrary configuration files to be
specified from untrusted sources. While this is arguably a
vulnerability, misuse of any framework allowing untrusted input to
configure things is always a bad idea.
