MySQL 8.0.18

 NDB Cluster

• A query handled using a pushed condition produced incorrect results when it included an ORDER BY clause. (Bug #29595346)
  References: This issue is a regression of: Bug #28672214.
• The NDB transporter layer limits the size of messages to 32768 bytes; send buffers place additional (and stricter) limitations on message size. Whenever a message is appended to a send buffer, page checks are performed to ensure that the message fits in the available space; if not, a new page is used. The current issue arose on account of the fact that no check was performed to make sure that this message could fit in the empty page; when the size of the message exceeded the empty page, this resulted in a buffer overwrite and in the overwriting of the next page in memory. For data nodes the largest message supported by the send buffer (thr_send_page) is 32756 bytes; for API and management nodes, this maximum is 32752 bytes. (Signals sent within an individual data node are not subject to these limitations since no send or transporter buffers are used in this case). Now, when a new page is used, the size of the message is checked against that which is available in a new page.
• As part of the work done to fix the problem just described, three new DUMP commands are added to facilitate related testing and debugging: DUMP 103003 (CmvmiRelayDumpStateOrd) sends a DUMP command using another node; DUMP 103004 (CmvmiDummySignal) and DUMP 103005 (CmvmiSendDummySignal) can be used to send long messages. (Bug #29024275)

SQLite 3.30.1

• Fix a bug in the query flattener that might cause a segfault for nested queries that use the new FILTER clause on aggregate functions. (Ticket 1079ad19993d13fa)
• Cherrypick fixes for other obscure problems found since the 3.30.0 release.

Key Security, Maintenance, and Features Releases

Security-Based Updates

MySQL 8.0.18

• Replication: The input channel introduced for Group Replication in MySQL 8.0.14 uses a shared memory queue instead of a TCP socket for communication between the Group Communication System (GCS) component of Group Replication and the local group communication engine (XCom) instance. This input channel could not be established on SELinux installations, which meant members upgraded to MySQL 8.0.14 or higher were unable to rejoin the group. When Group Replication was started, the XCom instance temporarily opened a port from the ephemeral port range to allow GCS to establish a connection for the input channel, but on SELinux the mysqld process did not have permission to connect to this port. A workaround was to amend the SELinux policy to allow MySQL to connect to any port, but this reduced security. From MySQL 8.0.18, the issue has been fixed. XCom and GCS no longer use an ephemeral port to establish a connection for the input channel, but instead use the Group Replication communication port configured by the group_replication_local_address system variable, which must be permitted by SELinux. (Bug #29742219, Bug #30087757)
• The CREATE USER, ALTER USER, and SET PASSWORD statements now have the capability of generating random passwords for user accounts, as an alternative to requiring explicit administrator-specified literal passwords.
• Use of the MYSQL_PWD environment variable to specify a MySQL password is considered insecure because its value may be visible to other system users. MYSQL_PWD is now deprecated and support for it will be removed in a future MySQL version.

OpenSSH 8.1

• ssh(1), sshd(8), ssh-add(1), ssh-keygen(1): an exploitable integer overflow bug was found in the private key parsing code for the XMSS key type. This key type is still experimental and support for it is not compiled by default. No user-facing autoconf option exists in portable OpenSSH to enable it. This bug was found by Adam Zabrocki and reported via SecuriTeam's SSD program.
• ssh(1), sshd(8), ssh-agent(1): add protection for private keys at  rest in RAM against speculation and memory side-channel attacks like Spectre, Meltdown, and Rambleed. This release encrypts private keys when they are not in use with a symmetric key that is derived from a relatively large "prekey" consisting of random data (currently 16KB).

ISC BIND 9.15.5

• The TCP client quota set using the tcp-clients option could be exceeded in some cases. This could lead to exhaustion of file descriptors. This flaw is disclosed in CVE-2018-5743. [GL #615]
• In certain configurations, named could crash with an assertion failure if nxdomain-redirect was in use and a redirected query resulted in an NXDOMAIN from the cache. This flaw is disclosed in CVE-2019-6467. [GL #880]
• A race condition could trigger an assertion failure when a large number of incoming packets were being rejected. This flaw is disclosed in CVE-2019-6471. [GL #942]
• named could crash with an assertion failure if a forwarder returned a referral, rather than resolving the query, when QNAME minimization was enabled. This flaw is disclosed in CVE-2019-6476. [GL #1051]
• A flaw in DNSSEC verification when transferring mirror zones could allow data to be incorrectly marked valid. This flaw is disclosed in CVE-2019-6475. [GL #1252]

ISC BIND 9.14.7

• A race condition could trigger an assertion failure when a large number of incoming packets were being rejected. This flaw is disclosed in CVE-2019-6471. [GL #942]

• Since release 1503 (abrt>= 2.1.11-19.el7.centos.0.1), CentOS-7 can report bugs directly to bugs.centos.org. You can find information about that feature at this page.

CentOS 8.0

• Based on Fedora 28 and the upstream kernel 4.18, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.0 provides users with a stable, secure, consistent foundation across hybrid cloud deployments with the tools needed to support traditional and emerging workloads. Highlights of the release include:
  • Content is available through the BaseOS and Application Stream (AppStream) repositories.
  • The AppStream repository supports a new extension of the traditional RPM format - modules. This allows for multiple major versions of a component to be available for install.

Firefox 69.0.1

• Fixed external programs launching in the background when clicking a link from inside Firefox to launch them. (bug 1570845)
• Usability improvements to the Add-ons Manager for users with screen readers. (bug 1567600)
• Fixed the Captive Portal notification bar not being dismissable in some situations after login is complete. (bug 1578633)
• Fixed the maximum size of fonts in Reader Mode when zoomed. (bug 1578454)

Hibernate ORM 5.4.5.Final 

• It used to be the case that opening a new Session (or a new EntityManager) was a relatively not-so-cheap operation, as Hibernate needs creating several internal Maps to represent its context.
  We never considered this a priority to optimize for: we’d recommend to reuse them, and expect most people would use Hibernate for non trivial operations, offsetting the allocation overhead.
• Another reason to not focus on such optimizations for corner cases was that to achieve peak performance for more complex cases, in particular real world workloads, focusing on the simple case would have been a limitation for the real case. It turns out this assumption was unfounded, as we now figured that a lot could be done without a negative impact on the general purpose scenario.

Key Security, Maintenance, and Features Releases

Security-Based Updates

PostgreSQL 11.5, 10.10, and 9.6.15

11.5

• Require schema qualification to cast to a temporary type when using functional cast syntax. (Noah Misch)
• We have long required invocations of temporary functions to explicitly specify the temporary schema, that is pg_temp.func_name(args). Require this as well for casting to temporary types using functional notation, for example, pg_temp.type_name(arg). Otherwise it's possible to capture a function call using a temporary object, allowing privilege escalation in much the same ways that we blocked in CVE-2007-2138. (CVE-2019-10208)
• Fix execution of hashed subplans that require cross-type comparison. (Tom Lane, Andreas Seltenreich)
• Hashed subplans used the outer query's original comparison operator to compare entries of the hash table. This is the wrong thing if that operator is cross-type, since all the hash table entries will be of the subquery's output type. For the set of hashable cross-type operators in core PostgreSQL, this mistake seems nearly harmless on 64-bit machines, but it can result in crashes or perhaps unauthorized disclosure of server memory on 32-bit machines. Extensions might provide hashable cross-type operators that create larger risks. (CVE-2019-10209)

10.10

• Require schema qualification to cast to a temporary type when using functional cast syntax. (Noah Misch)
• We have long required invocations of temporary functions to explicitly specify the temporary schema, that is pg_temp.func_name(args). Require this as well for casting to temporary types using functional notation, for example,  pg_temp.type_name(arg). Otherwise it's possible to capture a function call using a temporary object, allowing privilege escalation in much the same ways that we blocked in CVE-2007-2138. (CVE-2019-10208)
• Fix failure of ALTER TABLE ... ALTER COLUMN TYPE when altering multiple columns' types in one command. (Tom Lane)
• This fixes a regression introduced in the most recent minor releases: indexes using the altered columns were not processed correctly, leading to strange failures during ALTER TABLE.

9.6.15
