It is recommended that administrators running couchdb check for an updated version of the software for their operating system. - --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT-------------------- SUSE Security Update: Security update for couchdb ______________________________________________________________________________ Announcement ID: SUSE-SU-2018:2578-1 Rating: important References: #1068386 #1100973 Cross-References: CVE-2017-12636 CVE-2018-8007 Affected Products: SUSE OpenStack Cloud 7 SUSE Enterprise Storage 4 ______________________________________________________________________________ An update that fixes two vulnerabilities is now available. Description: This update for couchdb to 1.7.2 fixes the following security issues: - CVE-2018-8007: Apache CouchDB administrative users can configure the database server via HTTP(S). Due to insufficient validation of administrator-supplied configuration settings via the HTTP API, it was possible for a CouchDB administrator user to escalate their privileges to that of the operating system's user that CouchDB runs under, by bypassing the blacklist of configuration settings that are not allowed to be modified via the HTTP API (bsc#1100973). - CVE-2017-12636: CouchDB administrative users can configure the database server via HTTP(S). Some of the configuration options include paths for operating system-level binaries that are subsequently launched by CouchDB. This allowed an admin user in Apache CouchDB to execute arbitrary shell commands as the CouchDB user (bsc#1068386). Patch Instructions: To install this SUSE Security Update use the SUSE recommended installation methods like YaST online_update or "zypper patch".
