Release Notes

The cf-release v245 was released on October 09, 2016.

IMPORTANT - This release fixes a critical security vulnerability pertaining to command injection. Please see the mailing list thread on CVE 2016-6655 for more details. Operators are strongly encouraged to update to this latest version of cf-release. - This release includes a significant migration of the CCDB that is the first step to releasing the CC V3 API. Please see the release notes for CAPI v1.6.0 for details. - CVE-2016-6658: The Cloud Controller in CF-245 contains a fix for a medium CVE where apps using custom buildpack urls could contain credentials. This fix ensures that urls containing credentials are either encrypted or stored in an obfuscated format at rest. This is a continuation of CVE-2016-6638 originally reported fixed in CF-241.

KNOWN ISSUES - The included version of CAPI Release contains an issue staging Python buildpack based apps and apps using any buildpack that doesn’t return process types in the staging result. We’ve prioritized this bug at the top of our backlog. Workaround is to add a Procfile containing any command, e.g. web: foo.

Notably, this release addresses USN-3096-1: NTP vulnerabilities Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3096-1. As cflinuxfs2 only includes the ntpdate package, many of these CVEs may not apply. - CVE-2015-7973: Deja Vu: Replay attack on authenticated broadcast mode - CVE-2015-7974: NTP 4.x before 4.2.8p6 and 4.3.x before 4.3.90 do not verify peer associations of symmetric keys when authenticating packets, which might allow remote attackers to conduct impersonation attacks via an arbitrary trusted key, aka a “skeleton key.” - CVE-2015-7975: ntpq buffer overflow - CVE-2015-7976: ntpq saveconfig command allows dangerous characters in filenames - CVE-2015-7977: reslist NULL pointer dereference - CVE-2015-7978: Stack exhaustion in recursive traversal of restriction list - CVE-2015-7979: Off-path Denial of Service (DoS) attack on authenticated broadcast mode - CVE-2015-8138: Zero Origin Timestamp Bypass, AKA: Additional KoD Checks - CVE-2015-8158: Potential Infinite Loop in ntpq - CVE-2016-0727: NTP statsdir cleanup cronjob insecure - CVE-2016-1547: Validate crypto-NAKs, AKA: nak-dos - CVE-2016-1548: Interleave-pivot - CVE-2016-1550: Improve NTP security against buffer comparison timing attacks, authdecrypt-timing, AKA: authdecrypt-timing - CVE-2016-2516: Duplicate IPs on unconfig directives will cause an assertion botch - CVE-2016-2518: Crafted addpeer with hmode > 7 causes array wraparound with MATCH_ASSOC - CVE-2016-4954: The process_packet function in ntp_proto.c in ntpd in NTP 4.x before 4.2.8p8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (peer-variable modification) by sending spoofed packets from many source IP addresses in a certain scenario, as demonstrated by triggering an incorrect leap indication. - CVE-2016-4955: ntpd in NTP 4.x before 4.2.8p8, when autokey is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (peer-variable clearing and association outage) by sending (1) a spoofed crypto-NAK packet or (2) a packet with an incorrect MAC value at a certain time. - CVE-2016-4956: ntpd in NTP 4.x before 4.2.8p8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (interleaved-mode transition and time change) via a spoofed broadcast packet. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2016-1548.
