Hi everybody,

after updating to SOGo 5.12.12, my SOGo instance didn't start anymore. I made 
the changes to the ldap hostname line in sogo.conf as suggested below:

hostname = ldaps://10.0.2.15:636?tlsVerifyMode=None;

This lead to an error in the system journal:

File NSDictionary.m: 671. In -[NSDictionary initWithContentsOfFile:] Contents 
of file '/etc/sogo/sogo.conf' does not contain a dictionary

I put the value of the hostname line in double quotes, this solved the issue:

hostname = "ldaps://10.0.2.15:636?tlsVerifyMode=None";

There is a corresponding bug in the SOGo bugtracker [1], but as my account has 
been downgraded to an observer in the bugtracker (why, BTW?), I can't comment 
there.

Best regards,

Paul

SOGo 5.12.12 Release


ANNOUNCEMENT
SOGo 5.12.12 Release

Dear SOGo community,

The Alinto team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of SOGo 
v5.12.12. This is a major release as it fixes one security vulnerability.
*IMPORTAN LDAP WITH SSL:*

If you're using ldap with ssl with a self-signed certificate, you have to 
update your sogo.conf to tell sogo to not check it:
Before:
`hostname = ldaps://10.0.2.15:636;`

After:
`hostname = ldaps://10.0.2.15:636?tlsVerifyMode=None;`

If not, sogo will force ldap client to check the certificate and throw error 
like this:

/NAME:LDAPException REASON:operation bind failed: Can't contact LDAP server 
(0xFFFFFFFF)/

*IMPORTANT:*

One vulnerability have been reported and fixed in this version 5.12.12 or since 
the nightly of the 13th of October 2026: `sogo_5.12.9.20261013`.

  * 1 possible SQL injection with specific request -> fixed
