Fedora 27: Security Update for Git-Annex Critical Data Threats

Update to 6.20180626 Security fix for CVE-2018-10857 and CVE-2018-10859. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2018-7e8c49a451 2018-07-11 19:27:57.419460 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Name : git-annex Product : Fedora 27 Version : 6.20180626 Release : 1.fc27 URL : https://hackage.haskell.org/package/git-annex Summary : Manage files with git, without checking their contents into git Description : Git-annex allows managing files with git, without checking the file contents into git. While that may seem paradoxical, it is useful when dealing with files larger than git can currently easily handle, whether due to limitations in memory, time, or disk space. It can store large files in many places, from local hard drives, to a large number of cloud storage services, including S3, WebDAV, and rsync, with a dozen cloud storage providers usable via plugins. Files can be stored encrypted with gpg, so that the cloud storage provider cannot see your data. git-annex keeps track of where each file is stored, so it knows how many copies are available, and has many facilities to ensure your data is preserved. git-annex can also be used to keep a folder in sync between computers, noticing when files are changed, and automatically committing them to git and transferring them to other computers. The git-annex webapp makes it easy to set up and use git-annex this way. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Update Information: Update to 6.20180626 Security fix for CVE-2018-10857 and CVE-2018-10859 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------ChangeLog: * Thu Jun 28 2018 Elliott Sales de Andrade - 6.20180626-1.fc27 - update to 6.20180626 - Fix CVE-2018-10857 and CVE-2018-10859 (#1595634) - Enable TestSuite. * Tue Nov 28 2017 Elliott Sales de Andrade -6.20170925-6.fc27 - Enable S3 support. - Enable WebDAV support. * Wed Nov 15 2017 Elliott Sales de Andrade - 6.20170925-6.fc28 - Enable S3 support. * Wed Nov 15 2017 Elliott Sales de Andrade - 6.20170925-5.fc27 - Add minimum versions to dependencies. - Enable use of concurrent-output library. - Enable use of libmagic for file identification. - Enable TorrentParser for parsing torrents. * Wed Nov 15 2017 Elliott Sales de Andrade - 6.20170925-5.fc28 - Add minimum versions to dependencies. - Enable use of concurrent-output library. - Enable use of libmagic for file identification. - Enable TorrentParser for parsing torrents. - Enable WebDAV support. * Tue Nov 7 2017 Elliott Sales de Andrade - 6.20170925-4 - rebuilt * Sat Nov 4 2017 Elliott Sales de Andrade - 6.20170925-3 - rebuilt * Mon Oct 23 2017 Elliott Sales de Andrade - 6.20170925-2 - rebuilt * Fri Sep 29 2017 Elliott Sales de Andrade 6.20170925-1 - Update to 6.20170925. - Add rsync BuildRequires. - Fix documentation packaging. - Add and install bash-completion. * Wed Aug 2 2017 Fedora Release Engineering - 5.20140717-15 - Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_27_Binutils_Mass_Rebuild * Wed Jul 26 2017 Fedora Release Engineering - 5.20140717-14 - Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_27_Mass_Rebuild --------------------------------------------------------------------------------References: [ 1 ] Bug #1595631 - CVE-2018-10857 git-annex: Private data exposure and exfiltration https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1595631 [ 2 ] Bug #1595633 - CVE-2018-10859 git-annex: Malicious server could trick git-annex into decrypting a file encrypted to the user's gpg key https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1595633 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------This update can be installed with the "dnf" update program.
