Tikiwiki now official part of Gentoo Linux

ang - - (5712 Reads)

Tikiwiki has made it finally into Gentoo Portage CVS yesterday: this means we now are officially part of the great Gentoo Linux distribution. Hence, today is a great day for celebration for both communities, and just another reason for more users to test and witness the availability of intriguing content management technologies like Tikiwiki. Let's start the New Year with New Tools!

Tikiwiki and Sea Surfing

Web applications are more and more popular, more and more used, and, in consequence, more open to abuse than in past years. Tricks like XSS and CSRF are begining to spread rapidly, at least in rumor, in specialized networks. All live web applications need to verify they have basic protections against such abuses if they intend to provide a trustworthy work environment.

Jun0 brought attention to the vulnerability of tikiwiki to the CSRF trick. After some examination and work, a commando patch operation added basic protection in tikiwiki. 1.7.5, under test right now, was created to meet the security needs of the community, and will be released in next hours/days. If security is vital to your activities, upgrade now to cvs version; branches 1.7, 1.8, and HEAD are patched. We need your help to track possible side effect of the patch, then we can release without fear of regression.

Here is the mail I recently sent to a small number of tikiwiki developers explaining the whole story...

Here are the logs of my upgrade operation that occured on tw.o from 11:30 to 11:50 that saturday. Don't play with it on production website unless you got a bunch of geeks around.
