Description

Hi openSUSE Admins,

We recently received the following security advisory for LimeSurvey,
which is present in the openSUSE:infrastructure OBS project.

https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2022-43279

Could you please check if we are running a vulnerable instance of this
software, and if so, update accordingly? Thanks!

Best,
Carlos

We have survey.opensuse.org, which ends up on limesurvey.infra.opensuse.org = 192.168.47.12. This doesn't seem to be running though, doesn't respond to pings nor can I login.

The VM is currently not running. Can someone verify if this is intentional? If not, I would boot it again, and update it to the latest version of LimeSurvey if it is not up to date already - we have 5.4.5 in https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:infrastructure/limesurvey already, and only 5.4.4 is affected according to the CVE.

My guess - as we have no current surveys running, it was probably stopped intentionally. Let's boot it up and check what it's running. If necessary update it, otherwise just shut it down again.

Had to repair this:

Afterwards I updated the packages, but could not update LimeSurvey, because I just noticed we don't have any built binaries for 5.4 - only the sources were updated in the project, but they fail to build.

I shut the machine down again and submitted https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/1036955.

Is now running with version 6.1.0, still needs to be correctly packaged, but tracking further in the new ticket as the security problem should be resolved.
