by Julio Gonzalez 22 Mar '23

22 Mar '23

Hello! The SUSE Customer support team detected a security problem that caused the password used for bootstrapping or virtual host manager configuration to be captured in clear text in the rhn_web_api.log A patch for Uyuni 2023.03 is now available, and we recommend you apply it as soon as possible, without waiting for the next release (that obviously will include it as well. You can apply the patch at the Uyuni Server by following the instructions at: https://www.uyuni-project.org/pages/patches.html If you are still on 2023.01 or earlier, update first to 2023.03 normally (make sure you read the release notes, as special steps maybe required if you are not on 2023.03 already), and then apply the patch as explained above. Happy hacking! -- Julio González Gil Release Engineer, SUSE Manager and Uyuni jgonzalez(a)suse.com

IMPORTANT: Patch for Uyuni Server 2023.03 and blank notification page for users with SCC accounts
by Julio Gonzalez 16 Mar '23

16 Mar '23

Hello! Some users reported that after the update to Uyuni 2023.03, the notification page was completely blank [1] [2] If you are affected, you will see notifications on the bell icon at the WebUI, and you will still get e-mail notifications. But if you go to the notifications page, it will render completely blank, with no content at all or errors. Although this should only affect Uyuni users with SCC credentials added to the Setup Wizard and with SCC subscriptions expiring, a previous bug [3] can cause this same problem even for some users without SCC subscriptions if they got such notifications but never removed them. A patch for Uyuni 2022.03 is now available, in case you are affected, so you do not need to wait for the next Uyuni release. You can apply the patch at the Uyuni Server by following the instructions at: https://www.uyuni-project.org/pages/patches.html If you are still on 2023.01 or earlier, update first to 2023.03 normally (make sure you read the release notes, as special steps may be required if you are not on 2023.03 already), and then apply the patch as explained above. Happy hacking!

We are happy to announce the availability of Uyuni 2023.03.
