See http://www.debian.org/security/2008/dsa-1571 and http://wiki.debian.org/SSLkeys for further information. As many of the user uploaded keys on wald.intevation.org are affected we decided to delete _all_ user ssh keys from the server. Please check your ssh keys with the tools provided by Debian and generate a new key-pair (after updating your System!) if necessary. In case you know that your original key-pair was generated on an Debian Etch system no special checking is needed: all these keys _must_ be deleted and replaced by freshly generated ones! After that, please upload your public key again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Benutzer SSH-Schlüssel auf wald gelöscht! Aufgrund eines fehlerhaften Patches in dem Debian OpenSSL Paket sind alle SSH-Schlüssel, die auf einem Debian-Etch-System generiert wurden kryptographisch schwach und müssen als kompromittiert gelten. Weitere Informationen sind unter http://www.debian.org/security/2008/dsa-1571 und http://wiki.debian.org/SSLkeys zu finden. Da viele der von Benutzern hochgeladenen Schlüssel auf wald.intevation.org betroffen sind haben wir uns entschlossen _alle_ Benutzer SSH-Schlüssel von unserem Server zu löschen. Bitte überprüfen Sie Ihre SSH-Schlüssel mit den von Debian bereitgestellten Werkzeugen und generieren sie wenn nötig (nach einem System-Update!) ein neues Schlüsselpaar. Wenn Sie wissen, dass ihr ursprüngliches Schlüsselpaar auf einem Debian-Etch-System generiert wurde brauchen sie keine Überprüfung vorzunehmen: alle diese Schlüssel _müssen_ gelöscht und durch frisch generierte ersetzt werden! Danach laden Sie Ihren öffentlichen Schlüssel bitte wieder hoch. wilde@users.wald.intevation.org (Sascha Wilde) Thu, 01 Jan 1970 0:00:00 GMT http://wald.intevation.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=162 http://wald.intevation.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=162 http://wald.intevation.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=161 Today we finally switched the theme of wald.intevation.org from the gforge default theme to a customized, a bit more beautiful version. Many thanks to Emanuel Schütze and Benni Kirschner for making this possible! We hope the users on wald will like it, too. May the code grow! wilde@users.wald.intevation.org (Sascha Wilde) Thu, 01 Jan 1970 0:00:00 GMT http://wald.intevation.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=161 http://wald.intevation.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=161 http://wald.intevation.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=154 Bringing out to light what was hidden - is a fitting motto of this maintenance release. Thuban had a few interesting Extensions, but if users saw them depended on their customisation. Now all Extensions can be enabled per installation. Not all of these gems have been fully brought back to life. With ogr you can still open up all formats this powerful library can read. Wms currently needs a makeover which is on the list for the next release. Of course a number of defects have been fixed. The Thuban 1.2.x series seems a little less stable than usual because of the way we are half way there to fully support unicode internally. But thanks to our users, all reports help us to iron out the problems! Thanks to all that have send us feedback! Thuban is an Interactive Geographic Data Viewer, extensible and multi-platform mainly writting in Python. bernhard@users.wald.intevation.org (Bernhard Reiter) Thu, 01 Jan 1970 0:00:00 GMT http://wald.intevation.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=154 http://wald.intevation.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=154 http://wald.intevation.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=153 After some 0.9 releases this is finally the intial 1.0 release of OpenVAS-Client. OpenVAS-Client is a successor of NessusClient 1.X. The fork happened with NessusClient CVS HEAD 20070704. The reason was that the original author of NessusClient decided to stop active development for this (GTK-based) NessusClient in favour of a newly written QT-based version released as proprietary software. Compared to the NessusClient 1.X release, various new features have been added, especially caching mechanisms to increase transparency and increase plugin load speed. Additionally some visual improvements have been implemented. The following additional languages are supported: german, spanish, swedish and hebrew. Main changes since 0.9.1: * New language: spanish. * New language: hebrew. * Various code cleanups. * Various string fixes. * Added some scripts to support W32 installer packaging. jan@users.wald.intevation.org (Jan-Oliver Wagner) Thu, 01 Jan 1970 0:00:00 GMT http://wald.intevation.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=153 http://wald.intevation.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=153 http://wald.intevation.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=149 This is a cleanup and minor improvements release. This release is the basis for packaging tests and further translations into other languages. Except for translations and bug fixes identified though packaging/testing no changes are planned for the major 1.0.0 release. Main changes since 0.9.0: * Removed users manual which now forms a package of its own ("openvas-manual"). * Decreased memory consumption considerably for the case when looking into many different reports with more or less the same plugins. * Added menu entry to execute "sladinstaller" GUI. SLAD is the Security Local Auditing Daemon which comes with some NASL scripts and thus can now be fully managed through OpenVAS-Client. * Updated german translation. jan@users.wald.intevation.org (Jan-Oliver Wagner) Thu, 01 Jan 1970 0:00:00 GMT http://wald.intevation.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=149 http://wald.intevation.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=149 http://wald.intevation.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=148 OpenVAS-Client is a successor of NessusClient. The fork happened with NessusClient CVS HEAD 20070704. The reason was that the original authors of NessusClient decided to stop active development for this (GTK-based) NessusClient in favour of a newly written QT-based version released as propietary software. This present release 0.9.0 is a development release for testing. It can be used as a client for OpenVAS as well as Nessus server. jan@users.wald.intevation.org (Jan-Oliver Wagner) Thu, 01 Jan 1970 0:00:00 GMT http://wald.intevation.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=148 http://wald.intevation.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=148 http://wald.intevation.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=144 With the English manual included in this release it seems justified to bump up the version number. Unfortunately the package is a bit larger now due to this manual and due an update of the GTK+ library. The advantage of that new library is that GPA and Claws do now better integrate into the windows style. werner@users.wald.intevation.org (Werner Koch) Thu, 01 Jan 1970 0:00:00 GMT http://wald.intevation.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=144 http://wald.intevation.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=144 http://wald.intevation.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=143 GPA 0.7.6 has just been released. This one features translations into Russian and Czech and allows to drop files int the file manager. werner@users.wald.intevation.org (Werner Koch) Thu, 01 Jan 1970 0:00:00 GMT http://wald.intevation.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=143 http://wald.intevation.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=143 http://wald.intevation.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=142 after some delay wald.intevation.de has now been moved to a new home as announced in the last site news. Some basic testing of most features has been done and everything looks good. Nevertheless it is quie possible that there are still some hidden glitches caused by the move, so please report problems you might experience. Happy hacking!
