Zimbra Security Update

Post by barrydegraaff »

A one-click security vulnerability in all versions of Zimbra Collaboration Suite has been discovered that could allow an unauthenticated attacker to gain access to a Zimbra account.

To fix this vulnerability install the latest Zimbra patch (by using apt or yum), the vulnerability is fixed in:

- Daffodil 10.0.3
- 9.0.0 Kepler Patch 35
- 8.8.15 Joule Patch 42

In case you are unable to install the latest patch, you can obtain manual mitigation steps via Zimbra Support.

For Zimbra 8 OSE you can update using yum/apt update. For other versions you can rebuild from source and we will release the mitigation steps later.

Hi,
Following the alert, I've updated zimbra (NE) using apt

before update, About showed Zimbra 8.8.15_GA_4545 (build 20230516032547)
after update, About shows Zimbra 8.8.15_GA_4565 (build 20230707032631)

zmcontrol -v shows:
Release 8.8.15.GA.3829.UBUNTU16.64 UBUNTU16_64 NETWORK edition, Patch 8.8.15_P41.

given the date, is the patch 42 applied?

thank you and zimbra support people

Thanks, one question on P42 release notes appears
From Kepler-Patch-25 onwards, customers using SSO will need to update zimbraVirtualHostName attribute for the domains. Please refer to the instructions to update the attribute.

but link doesn't work and we can't see what are recommended actions in this step

Thanks

The release notes say :

"The patch will remove 3 files after which a mailbox restart is required, in case you cannot install the latest patch, manual mitigation steps (really simple ones) will be available via Zimbra Support Portal. "

It doesn't take much detective work looking at the latest zimbra-patch to see what it removes.
