IMPORTANT: Recent changes for the mailing lists

by Julio González Gil

Hi everyone, As part of the openSUSE Migration of the mailing lists [1], we have a few new things that you need to be aware of: 1. The lists addresses are now: announce(a)lists.uyuni-project.org devel(a)lists.uyuni-project.org users(a)lists.uyuni-project.org translation(a)lists.uyuni-project.org 2. The old addresses will be working for some unspecified time, but we recommend you start using the new addresses. 3. To avoid some problems DMARC authentication [2], the lists (among other things) will not add prefixes such as "[uyuni-user]" to the subject, and will not alter the body adding any links to the mailing lists. 4. As a consequence: If you used the subject to filter emails, please change your filters to start using email headers(check the openSUSE Migration page for details [1]) 5. The new system uses mailman v3 and hyperkitty, so now all management can be done via webUI at https://lists.uyuni-project.org or https://lists.opensuse.org 6. Your subscription should remain unchanged. We would like to thank the openSUSE Heroes [3] for the migration, as the change from mlmmj to mailman+hyperkitty is a big step forward making life easier for both users and mailing list administrators. Best regards.

[uyuni-announce] Special update for CVE-2020-16846, CVE-2020-17490 and CVE-2020-25592

by Pau Garcia

Hello Today we have released an unscheduled update for Uyuni 2020.09, for 3 security issues affecting the Salt master and minions: CVE-2020-16846, CVE-2020-17490 and CVE-2020-25592. First, a small warning. The current salt on openSUSE Leap 15.1/15.2 fixes the CVEs already, but contains a regression that breaks onboarding from WebUI and salt ssh managed minions. A fix for this is already in the openSUSE queue and should be released soon. Server ====== Please make sure you are on the most recent release (2020.09) and use the following commands on the Uyuni server: # zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Stable… # zypper refresh # spacewalk-service stop # zypper update # spacewalk-service start This will download the required spacewalk-java and py26-compat-salt packages, as well as salt from openSUSE Leap 15.2 Proxies and Clients =================== Just sync your channels on the Uyuni Server for all operating systems, and that will get the updated salt packages. Then apply the updates to all your clients as you would do for any other security updates. More information ================ https://www.saltstack.com/blog/on-november-3-2020-saltstack-publicly-disclo… https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-16846/ https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-25592/ https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-17490/ Thank you Pau Garcia Quiles SUSE Manager Product Owner & Technical Project Manager SUSE Software Solutions Spain
