[Pulp-list] Pulp 2.8.4 Beta Released - Security and Bug fixes

[Sean Myers]

2.8.4 is a security and bugfix release. Beta 1 has been pushed to the 2.8 repositories:

https://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/pulp/pulp/beta/2.8/

User action is required to address the CVEs associated with this upgrade!
Read the upgrade instructions below.

This release includes bug fixes to the Pulp platform, as well as its
RPM, Puppet, and Docker plugins.

Security Issues Addressed
=========================

Included in the list of :fixedbugs:`2.8.4` are two CVEs:

    * `CVE-2016-3696 <https://pulp.plan.io/issues/1854>`_: Leakage of CA key in pulp-qpid-ssl-cfg
    * `CVE-2016-3704 <https://pulp.plan.io/issues/1858>`_: Unsafe use of bash $RANDOM for NSS DB
      password and seed

Upgrade instructions
--------------------

The CVEs require user interaction to remedy if you have been using qpid, and if you used
``pulp-qpid-ssl-cfg`` to generate the TLS keys. Rabbit users and users who generated their own keys
for qpidd are not affected by these CVEs. Begin by upgrading to Pulp 2.8.4 and running migrations::

    $ sudo systemctl stop qpidd httpd pulp_workers pulp_resource_manager pulp_celerybeat goferd
    $ sudo yum upgrade
    $ sudo -u apache pulp-manage-db

Any qpidd CA, server and client certificate and key pairs that were generated with
``pulp-qpid-ssl-cfg`` are unsafe and should be replaced. After upgrading to 2.8.4 (as we did above),
you can use the script to replace the certificates and keys::

    $ sudo pulp-qpid-ssl-cfg

Now we are ready to start the services again::

    $ sudo systemctl start qpidd httpd pulp_workers pulp_resource_manager pulp_celerybeat goferd
