[EPEL-devel] Update of minor version of golang-1.19 coming to EPEL7

2023-05-30 Thread Dave Dykstra via epel-devel
golang-1.19.6 is now available in epel-testing for EPEL7, an update of a minor version from 1.18.9. I expect it to be promoted in about a week unless karma changes that. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2023-ba899b9717 My policy for updating golang in EPEL7 is to follow

I posted the below a couple of weeks ago but I don't think it ever came through. 1.9.6 is now in EPEL7's stable epel repository. Another new update 1.9.9 is now in EPEL7's epel-testing, since RHEL8 did another update due to a high severity vulnerability.

We believe that it is important to apply this change to all EPEL releases, for these reasons: 1. The general vulnerability described in this CVE applies equally to all currently supported Linux distributions. The Singularity/Apptainer community has long been aware that making setuid-root

[EPEL-devel] Incompatible change in apptainer-suid-1.1.8 now in epel-testing

2023-04-26 Thread Dave Dykstra via epel-devel
The apptainer-suid package version 1.1.8 now in epel-testing has an incompatible change because of a security vulnerability. The change is that a new option "allow setuid-mount extfs" was added which defaults to no, preventing ordinary users from mounting ext3 filesystems in setuid-root mode.

DT is correct, this change is subject to the EPEL incompatible change policy. apptainer-suid-1.1.8 by default disables mounting of ext3 filesystems, because of CVE-2023-30549 https://github.com/apptainer/apptainer/security/advisories/GHSA-j4rf-7357-f4cg Most users don't use this feature,
