Hey Jeremy - I'm going to unsubscribe ubuntu-security-sponsors to get these updates out of our reports. Once you've been able to test the updates, please detail your testing, re-subscribe ubuntu-security- sponsors, and set the status to NEW.

Steve, thanks for checking in. I haven't been able to verify the proposed fixes yet because I wasn't able to get the WordPress package working on 16.04 LTS. (The site loads now but not the theme. Maybe it's a permission problem with the sample Apache config file.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1691520 Title: Wordpress May 2017 security updates To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wordpress/+bug/1691520/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks for the branches! Changes look good. I've uploaded the packages to the security team PPA here: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-security- proposed/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages Once the builds complete, please perform upgrade testing and then update this bug report with the testing that you performed. I will then release the packages as security updates.

Debian put out a fix today for https://security- tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-8295 but that seems a low enough priority to me (and not yet fixed in WordPress core) to wait until the next WordPress security release. ** CVE added: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2017-8295 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1691520 Title: Wordpress May 2017 security updates To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wordpress/+bug/1691520/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Testing Done + I have successfully test-built each package Regression Potential WordPress maintains separate branches to backport security fixes. I suspect that the older the branch gets, the more likely it is that something will break. WordPress still uses trac/svn, but there's this handy read-only copy that is easier to examine: - https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/commits/3.8-branch + https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/commits/4.4-branch + + WordPress only officially recommends the latest stable series (currently 4.7) + https://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/ Other Info -- On one hand, I hope right now no one actually uses the Ubuntu package on a live web server. I mean, if they are using the development version of Ubuntu, it might actually work but otherwise, it's not really received any security support at all. Similarly, I guess there's a concern that if we start providing security updates, then people will start thinking that Ubuntu's 'wordpress' package is safe to use, which is fine as long as someone from the community will indeed package these updates from now on. Otherwise, maybe doing these security updates is not really helping anyone? - Since 14.04's wordpress is in unseeded universe after 3 years, it's not - supported any more, but since WordPress still provided a release for it, - I figure it's not that much extra effort to do that update too. + WordPress also maintains a 3.8 branch (with a 3.8.21 release this week + corresponding with 4.7.5) that we could use for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
