| ====Security incident on Fedora infrastructure on 23 Jan 2011====
| |
| Fedora Project Leader, Jared K. Smith<ref>Jared K. Smith jsmith at fedoraproject.org</ref> on Tue Jan 25 00:14:23 UTC 2011 announced<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/announce/2011-January/002911.html</ref>,
| |
| | |
| "Summary: Fedora infrastructure intrusion but no impact on product integrity
| |
| | |
| On January 22, 2011 a Fedora contributor received an email from the Fedora
| |
| Accounts System indicating that his account details had been changed. He
| |
| contacted the Fedora Infrastructure Team indicating that he had received
| |
| the email, but had not made changes to his FAS account. The Infrastructure
| |
| Team immediately began investigating, and confirmed that the account had
| |
| indeed been compromised.
| |
| | |
| At this time, the Infrastructure Team has evidence that indicates the account
| |
| credentials were compromised externally, and that the Fedora Infrastructure was
| |
| not subject to any code vulnerability or exploit.
| |
| | |
| The account in question was not a member of any sysadmin or Release Engineering
| |
| groups. The following is a complete list of privileges on the account:
| |
| * SSH to fedorapeople.org (user permissions are very limited on this machine).
| |
| * Push access to packages in the Fedora SCM.
| |
| * Ability to perform builds and make updates to Fedora packages.
| |
| | |
| The Infrastructure Team took the following actions after being
| |
| notified of the issue:
| |
| 1. Lock down access to the compromised account
| |
| 2. Take filesystem snapshots of all systems the account had access to (pkgs.fedoraproject.org, fedorapeople.org)
| |
| 3. Audit SSH, FAS, Git, and Koji logs from the time of compromise to the present
| |
| Here, we found that the attacker did:
| |
| * Change the account's SSH key in FAS
| |
| * Login to fedorapeople.org
| |
| | |
| The attacker did not:
| |
| * Push any changes to the Fedora SCM or access pkgs.fedoraproject.org in any way
| |
| * Generate a koji cert or perform any builds
| |
| * Push any package updates
| |
| | |
| Based on the results of our investigation so far, we do not believe that any
| |
| Fedora packages or other Fedora contributor accounts were affected by this
| |
| compromise.
| |
| | |
| While the user in question had the ability to commit to Fedora SCM, the
| |
| Infrastructure Team does not believe that the compromised account was used to
| |
| do this, or cause any builds or updates in the Fedora build system. The
| |
| Infrastructure Team believes that Fedora users are in no way threatened by this
| |
| security breach and we have found no evidence that the compromise extended
| |
| beyond this single account.
| |
| | |
| As always, Fedora packagers are recommended to regularly review commits to
| |
| their packages and report any suspicious activity that they notice.
| |
| | |
| Fedora contributors are strongly encouraged to choose a strong FAS password.
| |
| Contributors should *NOT* use their FAS password on any other websites or
| |
| user accounts. If you receive an email from FAS notifying you of changes to
| |
| your account that you did not make, please contact the Fedora Infrastructure
| |
| team immediately via admin at fedoraproject.org.
| |
| | |
| We are still performing a more in-depth investigation and security audit and we
| |
| will post again if there are any material changes to our understanding"

| ====Fedora 14 for IBM System z 64bit official release====
| |
| Phil Knirsch<ref>Phil Knirsch pknirsch at redhat.com</ref> on Tue Jan 25 17:59:31 UTC 2011 announced<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/announce/2011-January/002912.html</ref>,
| |
| | |
| "It's been a long time since we last had an official release of IBM
| |
| System z on Fedora...
| |
| | |
| A really long time...
| |
| | |
| A really, really long time...
| |
| | |
| In fact and to be precise, it's been 134,265,600 seconds or 2,237,760
| |
| minutes or 37,296 hours or 1554 days since Fedora 6 was released on
| |
| October 24th 2006 which was the last release where IBM System z was
| |
| included.
| |
| | |
| But today, today changes all this.
| |
| | |
| As today, the Fedora IBM System z (s390x) Secondary Arch team proudly
| |
| presents the Fedora 14 for IBM System z 64bit official release!
| |
| | |
| And without further ado, here the links to the actual release:
| |
| | |
| <ref>http://secondary.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/14/Fedora/s390x/</ref>
| |
| <ref>http://secondary.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/14/Everything/s390x/os/</ref>
| |
| | |
| and obviously on all mirrors that mirror the secondary arch content.
| |
| | |
| The first directory contains the normal installation trees as well as 1
| |
| DVD ISO and 5 CD ISOs with the complete release.
| |
| | |
| Everything as usual contains, well, everything. :)
| |
| | |
| We have collected a couple of example config files, kickstart examples
| |
| and a nice README here:
| |
| | |
| <ref>http://secondary.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/spins/S390/</ref>
| |
| | |
| but beware that currently the images found there are still outdated,
| |
| we're working on fixing that over the next weeks.
| |
| | |
| Additional information about know issues, the current progress and state
| |
| for future release, where and how the team can be reached and just
| |
| anything else IBM System z on Fedora related can be found here:
| |
| | |
| <ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/s390x</ref>
| |
| | |
| Thanks go out to everyone involved in making this happen!"
