Subject: [Kolab-announce] Security Issue 26 for Kolab Server (SpamAssassin)
Message-ID: <s7wvdfinjp2.fsf@intevation.de>

Kolab Security Issue 26 20100104
================================

Package:              Kolab Server, SpamAssassin
Vulnerability:        mail lossage
Kolab Specific:       no
Dependent Packages:   none


Summary
~~~~~~~

The Apache SpamAssassin spam filter shipping with Kolab Server
includes an rule named FH_DATE_PAST_20XX which triggers on most mail
with a Date header that includes the year 2010 or later.

This adds 3.2 to the spam score of nearly every mail send past 2009.


Affected Versions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This affects versions of SpamAssassin 3.2.0 to 3.2.5.
Kolab Server 2.2.3 and previous releases are affected.


Fix
~~~

Add the following line to
/kolab/etc/kolab/templates/local.cf.template:

score FH_DATE_PAST_20XX 0.0

or update your kolabd package:

OpenPKG packages for Kolab Server 2.2.3 are available from
http://files.kolab.org/server/security-updates/20100104/
or from the mirrors listed on http://kolab.org/mirrors.html

A binary RPM for Kolab Server 2.2.3 (ix86 Debian GNU/Linux Lenny)
is available as kolabd-2.2.3-20100104.ix86-debian5.0-kolab.rpm

A binary RPM for Kolab Server 2.2.3 (ix86 Debian GNU/Linux Etch)
is available as kolabd-2.2.3-20100104.ix86-debian4.0-kolab.rpm

After that run as root: /kolab/sbin/kolabconf

Older versions of Kolab Server don't have local.cf.template, you
will have to edit /kolab/etc/spamassassin/local.cf and after that
restart amavisd with: /kolab/etc/rc.d/rc.amavisd restart

You can check the integrity of the downloaded files with:

$ gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-key 4BB86568
$ gpg --verify SHA1SUMS.sig
$ sha1sum -c SHA1SUMS

The source package can be compiled and installed on your Kolab Server with:

# su - kolab
$ openpkg rpm --rebuild ...path/to.../kolabd-2.2.3-20100104.src.rpm
$ openpkg rpm -Uvh /kolab/RPM/PKG/kolabd-2.2.3-20100104.<ARCH>-<OS>-kolab.rpm	
$ exit
# /kolab/sbin/kolabconf

To install a binary package, just skip the --rebuild step.

Subject: [Kolab-announce] ActiveSync support for the Kolab Groupware
	Solution ready for testing
Message-ID: <201004211151.56232.greve@kolabsys.com>

ActiveSync support for the Kolab Groupware Solution ready for testing

Kolab Community integrating ActiveSync support into the Kolab Groupware 
Solution with support by Dutch charity NLnet.

Kolab is a proven personal information management solution enabling users and 
organisations to share emails, appointments, contacts and more in mixed client 
environments using an open storage format. Any email client speaking standard 
protocols can be served, but so far support for non-standard protocols like 
the product-specific Microsoft ActiveSync was underdeveloped.

Supported by a grant of the NLnet Foundation, Kolab Systems and Libertech are 
working to integrate the Kolab Groupware Solution with the Z-Push project, a 
Free Software ActiveSync implementation. All results will be released as Free 
Software in cooperation with the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) which 
has accepted the project under its fiduciary programme. Last week the project 
reached its first milestone with the release of the 0.4 version, which is now 
available for testing.

?If organisations want to move towards open standards, they often still have 
plenty of existing hardware like mobile phones, that are limited to closed 
solutions like ActiveSync.", says Michiel Leenaars, strategy director at NLnet 
Foundation. ?With support for Z-Push, Kolab can support those devices and thus 
provide a strong migration path towards open standards".

Coordinated by Kolab Systems, the development is driven by the initial 
developer of the connector, Alain Abbas of the French Free Software company 
Libertech. Alain Abbas comments: ?We had 150 iPhone users of Kolab working 
productively on an earlier version of the connector for about a year, but some 
crucial components were missing and we lacked good configuration management. 
All of this is currently being resolved according to our development time 
line.?

?ActiveSync support has become more important with more devices supporting it 
as their preferred means of data synchronisation?, explains Georg Greve, CEO 
of Kolab Systems. ?Kolab is unique in that it incorporates many of the best 
and proven Free Software technologies which have benefited from contributions 
originating around Kolab. So when considering how to resolve this issue, we 
chose the Kolab way: Work with an existing Free Software project that has the 
same aim, and help it reach its goal.?

Greve concludes: ?Our thanks go to NLnet for their support and to the entire 
Kolab community that is now participating in the testing of Z-Push and the new 
connector.?

Subject: [Kolab-announce] ClamAV signature update caused clamd crash
Message-ID: <20100507173140.966615529.thomas@intevation.de>

Hi!

The ClamAV signature update daily.cvd 10938 causes a segmentation
fault in all ClamAV versions older than 0.96 (as used in Kolab
Server) on 32 bit systems.

A new signature update was issued shortly afterwards, but since
Kolab Server is configured to update the signatures every full hour
by default, it is very likely that your clamd crashed, too.

Delivery of mails with attachments (HTML mails fall into this
category) was not possible until the second signature update,
because the fallback mechanism (using "clamscan" instead of the
daemon) was affected, too.

Please verify if clamd is no longer running, e.g. with
"ps ax|grep clamd" and start it again as user kolab or user root:

  /kolab/bin/openpkg rc clamav start

Otherwise the much slower fallback mechanism will still be used.

Regards,
Thomas Arendsen Hein

Professional Training and Certification for the Kolab Groupware Solution

Kolab Systems AG and OpenSource Training Ralf Spenneberg partner up for the 
creation of a professional training and certification program for the Free 
Software Kolab Groupware Solution. First courses and certifications will be 
available in autumn 2010.

The Kolab Groupware Solution provides an interoperable, open and fully Free 
Software based approach to Personal Information Management (PIM) for 
organizations of any size. Thanks to its hyper-modularity, Kolab's core 
groupware functionality of email, calendaring, contacts and task management 
can be integrated into a variety of scenarios and solutions. Kolab provides 
this in a variety of environments and platforms, including GNU/Linux, 
Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X, including in mixed client environments.

Kolab Systems AG is the newly re-launched backbone of the Kolab Enterprise 
Community, a network of companies providing professional support, integration 
and other services around the Kolab Groupware Solution. To ensure highest 
levels of quality for customers, training and certification will be provided 
for administrators, help desk operators and users of Kolab. These courses and 
hands-on tests will be developed specifically by OpenSource Training Ralf 
Spenneberg in close cooperation with Kolab Systems AG and its partner 
companies.

?Kolab is a mature solution that has been in production for more than five 
years. So we were naturally aware of successes as well as problems, and our 
analysis showed that often problems were related to a lack of awareness for 
the elegant way to solve some of the advanced scenarios the Kolab Groupware 
Solution offers,? explains Georg Greve, CEO of Kolab Systems. ?With the 
training and certification we now employ proven methods to distribute the 
knowledge of best practices and practical experience in the field and ensure 
that customers have meaningful criteria to choose between different providers.?

The first Kolab administration classes and certifications are planned for autumn 
2010. These classes and exams are conducted by OpenSource Training Ralf 
Spenneberg. ?We are developing practical exams. The students need to 
demonstrate the ability to install, configure and troubleshoot the Kolab 
Groupware Solution to pass the exam. This garantees the high level of the 
exam.? states Ralf Spenneberg. ?Students may take the exam without attending 
the training class. Thus skilled administrators, knowing Kolab, can directly 
become certified.?

Subject: [Kolab-announce] Kolab Server 2.2.4 Final Release
Message-ID: <20100701115549.190706405.thomas@intevation.de>

Hi!

I just uploaded the final release of Kolab Server 2.2.4, which contains
about 20 enhancements and fixes compared to the previous release.

Updated packages of ClamAV, OpenSSL, Apache and PHP fix various security
issues.

Upgrading from 2.2.3 should be straightforward, but make sure you follow
the upgrade instructions in 1st.README if you are upgrading by using the
.src.rpm files together with binary RPMs from existing installations.

Documentation and OpenPKG packages are available from
http://files.kolab.org/server/release/kolab-server-2.2.4/
as shown on http://kolab.org/download.html and from the mirrors
listed on http://kolab.org/mirrors.html

http://files.kolab.org/RSYNC.txt explains how to get (or mirror)
the files via rsync.

All files updated since 2.2.4 are available in the directory
server/development-2.2/20100629-since-20091217/

You can check the integrity of the downloaded files by importing our file
distribution key and verify the OpenPGP signature and SHA1 checksums:

$ wget https://ssl.intevation.de/Intevation-Distribution-Key.asc
$ gpg --import Intevation-Distribution-Key.asc
$ gpg --verify SHA1SUMS.sig
$ sha1sum -c SHA1SUMS

Binary packages for Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 (lenny/stable) on x86 platforms
can be found in the ix86-debian5.0 directory next to the sources.
Because this release includes security updates, we still provide binary
packages for Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (etch/oldstable), too, but as already
announced for 2.2.3, support for etch will be dropped.

For install instructions and more information about this release, look at
http://files.kolab.org/server/release/kolab-server-2.2.4/sources/1st.README and
http://files.kolab.org/server/release/kolab-server-2.2.4/sources/release-notes.txt

Please report any problems you encounter in our issue tracker:
https://issues.kolab.org/

Message-ID: <201007011640.29276.wickert@kolabsys.com>

Hello world,

I'm happy to announce that I have taken over the coordination of the Kolab 
server releases.

From now on I will coordinate the development roadmap and the release 
schedules, but I will not necessarily be a developer and I will by no means 
dictate the direction of development. Instead, I want to gather input from the 
community ans ask for feedback cause this is the kind of collaborative  
development that I know to make projects become successful.

Thomas and I have worked hard on the Kolab server 2.2.4 release and I'm happy 
that we were able to release it today. It was a great opportunity for me to 
learn something about the Kolab release process.

I'd like to thank Thomas for all his work as the development coordinator in 
the past and for the help he still gives me. He will continue to back me up 
when I'm not available, but please raise all your problems, bugs, concerns and 
ideas primary to me instead of Thomas so that he can focus on development 
again.

I'm looking forward to work with the Kolab community!

Regards,
Christoph

Subject: [Kolab-announce] Experimental kolab-z-push packages available
Message-ID: <201007051816.04811.wickert@kolabsys.com>

Hello (free) world,

I just uploaded experimental packages for kolab-z-push to files.kolab.org. 
These packages are not meant to be used in productive environments yet but 
only for testing.

These packages provide ActiveSync capability for the Kolab Groupware Solution, 
allowing users to connect ActiveSync enabled devices such as mobile phones 
using Maemo/Meego, Android, Symbian, Windows Mobile, and the iPhone. This 
support is still under development, and is not recommended for production 
environments yet. Final packages are expected for autumn 2010.

There are a couple of known issues specific to several devices. These are/will 
be documented in the wiki at https://wiki.kolab.org/index.php/Z_push#Clients
As most fixes need to be applied in Z-push, I will work with the Z-push 
developers to incorporate the necessary patches and then likely provide an 
updated Z-Push package.

These packages require Kolab server 2.2.4 release to be installed, configured 
and running. If your server meets these requirements, no manual configuration 
should be required. Nevertheless you are strongly advised to read 
http://files.kolab.org/incoming/wickert/ix86-debian5.0/1st.README

ATTENTION, users in the United Stated of America: For installations in the 
United States of America these packages cannot be provided at the current 
point in time due to an export restriction according to section 8 of the GNU 
General Public License (GPL) on Z-Push itself. Kolab Systems is working with 
the Z-Push upstream on this and other issues, and we are confident the issue 
should soon be resolved.

Until then, I invite all citizens of the free world to test the packages from 

        http://files.kolab.org/incoming/wickert/ix86-debian5.0/

Please report any bugs you find to the Kolab mailing lists. We appreciate your 
feedback and any help you can provide.

Regards,
Christoph

Subject: [Kolab-announce] Kolab Server 2.3 alpha release
Message-ID: <201012271640.23650.wickert@kolabsys.com>

Hohoho,

this year Kolab Systems has a very special Christmas present for you: The 
release of the Kolab server 2.3 alpha. A little late, but good things take 
time.

This release introduces new features like synchronization of mobile devices 
with kolab-z-push or modular packaging of the kolab-webclient, updates of many 
important components and tons of bugfixes. Detailed information about the 
changes are listed in 
http://files.kolab.org/server/release/kolab-server-2.2.4/sources/release-
notes.txt
The release notes may be incomplete. They should cover all changes, but I will 
review them before the 2.3 final release just to be sure.

Upgrading from 2.2.4 should be straightforward, but make sure you follow
the upgrade instructions in
http://files.kolab.org/server/release/kolab-server-2.2.4/sources/1st.README 

Documentation and OpenPKG packages are available from
http://files.kolab.org/server/alpha/kolab-server-2.3-alpha/
as shown on http://kolab.org/download.html.

As soon as they have synced, you can also use the the mirrors listed on 
http://kolab.org/mirrors.html

All files updated since 2.2.4 are available in the directory
server/development-2.3/20101224-since-20100629/

You can check the integrity of the downloaded files by importing our file
distribution key and verifying the OpenPGP signature and SHA1 checksums:

$ gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-key 0xC43E1A3E
$ gpg --verify SHA1SUMS.sig
$ sha1sum -c SHA1SUMS

Binary packages for Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 (lenny/stable) on x86 platforms
can be found in the ix86-debian5.0 directory next to the sources.

Support for Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (etch/oldstable) was dropped because it is no 
longer supported by Debian ether.

Remember: This is an alpha release. It is for testing and evaluation only and 
likely contains bugs. DO NOT use it in productive environments!

Please report any problems you encounter in our bug tracker:
https://bugzilla.kolabsys.com/

Regards,
Christoph
