Fedora 22 Jenkins Advisory: Critical Threat Fixes for Multiple Issues

fedora
Calendar Grey January 4, 2016
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Essential Jenkins patch for Fedora 22 tackles various vulnerabilities to improve system security and performance.
Security update, fixes: CVE-2015-7536 (SECURITY-95), CVE-2015-7537 (SECURITY-225), CVE-2015-7538 (SECURITY-233), CVE-2015-7539 (SECURITY-234)

Summary

Jenkins is an award-winning application that monitors executions of repeated

jobs, such as building a software project or jobs run by cron. Among those

things, current Jenkins focuses on the following two jobs:

- building/testing software projects continuously. In a nutshell, Jenkins

provides an easy-to-use so-called continuous integration system, making it

easier for developers to integrate changes to the project, and making it

easier for users to obtain a fresh build. The automated, continuous build

increases the productivity.

- monitoring executions of externally-run jobs, such as cron jobs and procmail

jobs, even those that are run on a remote machine. For example, with cron, all

you receive is regular e-mails that capture the output, and it is up to you to

look at them diligently and notice when it broke. Jenkins keeps those outputs

and makes it easy for you to notice when something is wrong.
