The Apache Incubator CXF team is proud to announce the availability of the 2.0.5 release

Apache CXF is an open source services framework. CXF helps you build and develop services using frontend programming APIs, like JAX-WS. These services can speak a variety of protocols such as SOAP, XML/HTTP, RESTful HTTP, or CORBA and work over a variety of transports such as HTTP, JMS or JBI.

CXF includes a broad feature set, but it is primarily focused on the following areas:

• Web Services Standards Support: CXF supports a variety of web service standards including SOAP, the Basic Profile, WSDL, WS-Addressing, WS-Policy, WS-ReliableMessaging, and WS-Security.
• Frontends: CXF supports a variety of "frontend" programming models. CXF provides a JAX-WS Compliant frontend. It also includes a "simple frontend" which allows creation of clients and endpoints without annotations. CXF supports both contract first development with WSDL and code first development starting from Java.
• Ease of use: CXF is designed to be intuitive and easy to use. There are simple APIs to quickly build code-first services, Maven plug-ins to make tooling integration easy, JAX-WS API support, Spring 2.0 XML support to make configuration a snap, and much more.

This release is mostly a patch release to fix problems and issues (over 30 JIRA items resolved) that users have encountered in the 2.0.4-incubator release.

The Apache James team (http://james.apache.org) are pleased to announce that once more we are proposing ideas for Google Summer of Code student projects. This years ideas are:

1) To develop a VERP Mailet to allow James to write VERP modified return addresses on outbound messages, and an inbound mailet/matcher to identify VERP bounces and invoke configurable "do something" code.

2) James' provided mailing list manager is fine for small closed groups, but lacks the functionality of a more robust MLM, the project is to add some all or more of the following features: subscriber and message moderation, double opt-in and bounce handling.

We all look forward to welcoming Student proposals for these or any other ideas, and would welcome discussion of the ideas on the James Server Developers mailing list.

NOTE: Tuscany is an effort undergoing incubation at the Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Web services PMC. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.

The Apache Cayenne team is pleased to present the third milestone of Cayenne 3. This is a development branch of Cayenne and still undergoing significant changes. A number of developers are using it in production systems, however if you want the most stable and tested version of Cayenne you should use version 1.x or 2.x which have a proven track record and are widely used in deployment.

This milestone release adds some exciting new features, including enhancements to the Cayenne modeler for lifecycle listeners and callbacks and the ability to merge changes to the model back to the database, extensive new work toward full JPA compliance, updates to cgen and the templates, and much more.

This release requires Java 5 as a minimum. The decision to change the required JDK was made after a poll of users revealed no substantial need for Java 1.4 and plenty of benefits in moving forward. Generics are only partially completed in the public API at this time and we continue to try and balance the opportunities and headaches of a clean generics interface.

About HttpComponents Core - The HttpCore components implement the most fundamental aspects of the HTTP protocol. They are nonetheless sufficient to develop basic client side and server side HTTP services with a minimal footprint and no external dependencies. HttpCore NIO extensions can be used to build asynchronous HTTP services based on non-blocking I/O model capable of handling a great number of simultaneous connections with just a few I/O threads.

HttpCore will form the foundation of the future releases of Apache HttpClient.

Apache HTTP Server 2.2.8 Released

The Apache Software Foundation and the Apache HTTP Server Project are pleased to announce the release of version 2.2.8 of the Apache HTTP Server ("Apache"). This version of Apache is principally a bug and security fix release. The following potential security flaws are addressed:

• CVE-2007-6421 (cve.mitre.org)
  mod_proxy_balancer: Correctly escape the worker route and the worker redirect string in the HTML output of the balancer manager. Reported by SecurityReason.

  A flaw was found in the mod_proxy_balancer module. On sites where mod_proxy_balancer is enabled, a cross-site scripting attack against an authorized user is possible.

• CVE-2007-6422 (cve.mitre.org)
  Prevent crash in balancer manager if invalid balancer name is passed as parameter. Reported by SecurityReason.

  A flaw was found in the mod_proxy_balancer module. On sites where mod_proxy_balancer is enabled, an authorized user could send a carefully crafted request that would cause the Apache child process handling that request to crash. This could lead to a denial of service if using a threaded Multi-Processing Module.

• CVE-2007-6388 (cve.mitre.org)
  mod_status: Ensure refresh parameter is numeric to prevent a possible XSS attack caused by redirecting to other URLs. Reported by SecurityReason.

  A flaw was found in the mod_status module. On sites where mod_status is enabled and the status pages were publicly accessible, a cross-site scripting attack is possible. Note that the server-status page is not enabled by default and it is best practice to not make this publicly available.

• CVE-2007-5000 (cve.mitre.org)
  mod_imagemap: Fix a cross-site scripting issue. Reported by JPCERT.

  A flaw was found in the mod_imap module. On sites where mod_imap is enabled and an imagemap file is publicly available, a cross-site scripting attack is possible.

We consider this release to be the best version of Apache available, and encourage users of all prior versions to upgrade.

Apache HTTP Server 2.2.8 is available for download from:

http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi

Apache 2.2 offers numerous enhancements, improvements, and performance boosts over the 2.0 codebase. For an overview of new features introduced since 2.0 please see:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/new_features_2_2.html

Please see the CHANGES_2.2 file, linked from the download page, for a full list of changes. A condensed list, CHANGES_2.2.8 provides the complete list of changes since 2.2.6 (2.2.7 was not released). A summary of security vulnerabilities which were addressed in the previous 2.2.6 and earlier releases is available:

http://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_22.html

Apache HTTP Server 1.3.41 and 2.0.63 legacy releases are also currently available. See the appropriate CHANGES from the url above. See the corresponding CHANGES files linked from the download page. The Apache HTTP Project developers strongly encourage all users to migrate to Apache 2.2, as only limited maintenance is performed on these legacy versions.

This release includes the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) version 1.2.12 bundled with the tar and zip distributions. The APR libraries libapr and libaprutil (and on Win32, libapriconv) must all be updated to ensure binary compatibility and address many known platform bugs.

This release builds on and extends the Apache 2.0 API. Modules written for Apache 2.0 will need to be recompiled in order to run with Apache 2.2, and require minimal or no source code changes.

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/branches/2.2.x/VERSIONING

When upgrading or installing this version of Apache, please bear in mind that if you intend to use Apache with one of the threaded MPMs (other than the Prefork MPM), you must ensure that any modules you will be using (and the libraries they depend on) are thread-safe.

This Announcement notes the significant changes in 2.0.63 as compared to 2.0.61 (2.0.62 was not released). This Announcement 2.0 document may also be available in multiple languages at:

http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/

This version of Apache is principally a bug and security fix release. The following potential security flaws are addressed:

• CVE-2007-6388 (cve.mitre.org)
  mod_status: Ensure refresh parameter is numeric to prevent a possible XSS attack caused by redirecting to other URLs. Reported by SecurityReason.

  A flaw was found in the mod_status module. On sites where mod_status is enabled and the status pages were publicly accessible, a cross-site scripting attack is possible. Note that the server-status page is not enabled by default and it is best practice to not make this publicly available.

• CVE-2007-5000 (cve.mitre.org)
  mod_imagemap: Fix a cross-site scripting issue. Reported by JPCERT.

  A flaw was found in the mod_imap module. On sites where mod_imap is enabled and an imagemap file is publicly available, a cross-site scripting attack is possible.

Please see the CHANGES_2.0.63 file in this directory for a full list of changes for this version.

This release is compatible with modules compiled for 2.0.42 and later versions. We consider this release to be the best version of Apache 2.0 available and encourage users of all prior versions to upgrade.

This release includes the Apache Portable Runtime library suite release version 0.9.17, bundled with the tar and zip distributions. These libraries; libapr, libaprutil, and on Win32, libapriconv must all be updated to ensure binary compatibility and address many known platform bugs.

Apache HTTP Server 2.0.63 is available for download from

http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi

Please see the CHANGES_2.0 file, linked from the above page, for a full list of changes. A condensed list, CHANGES_2.0.63 provides the complete list of changes since 2.0.61.

Apache 2.0 offers numerous enhancements, improvements, and performance boosts over the 1.3 codebase. For an overview of new features introduced after 1.3 please see

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/new_features_2_0.html

When upgrading or installing this version of Apache, please keep in mind the following: If you intend to use Apache with one of the threaded MPMs, you must ensure that the modules (and the libraries they depend on) that you will be using are thread-safe. Please refer to the documentation of these modules and libraries to obtain this information.

Apache 2.2 offers numerous enhancements, improvements, and performance boosts over the 2.0 codebase. For an overview of new features introduced after 2.0 please see

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/new_features_2_2.html

We consider Apache 2.2 to be the best available version at the time of this release. We offer Apache 2.0.63 as the best legacy version of Apache 2.0 available. Users should first consider upgrading to the current release of Apache 2.2 instead.

Apache HTTP Server 1.3.41 Released

The Apache Software Foundation and the Apache HTTP Server Project are pleased to announce the release of version 1.3.41 of the Apache HTTP Server ("Apache"). This Announcement notes the significant changes in 1.3.41 as compared to 1.3.39 (1.3.40 was not released).

This version of Apache is is principally a bug and security fix release. The following potential security flaws are addressed:

• CVE-2007-6388 (cve.mitre.org)
  mod_status: Ensure refresh parameter is numeric to prevent a possible XSS attack caused by redirecting to other URLs. Reported by SecurityReason.

  A flaw was found in the mod_status module. On sites where mod_status is enabled and the status pages were publicly accessible, a cross-site scripting attack is possible. Note that the server-status page is not enabled by default and it is best practice to not make this publicly available.

• CVE-2007-5000 (cve.mitre.org)
  mod_imap: Fix cross-site scripting issue. Reported by JPCERT.

  A flaw was found in the mod_imap module. On sites where mod_imap is enabled and an imagemap file is publicly available, a cross-site scripting attack is possible.

• CVE-2007-3847 (cve.mitre.org)
  mod_proxy: Prevent reading past the end of a buffer when parsing date-related headers. PR 41144. With Apache 1.3, the denial of service vulnerability applies only to the Windows and NetWare platforms.

Please see the CHANGES_1.3.41 file in this directory for a full list of changes for this version.

Apache 1.3.41 is the current stable release of the Apache 1.3 family. We strongly recommend that users of all earlier versions, including 1.3 family release, upgrade to to the current 2.2 version as soon as possible.

We recommend Apache 1.3.41 version for users who require a third party module that is not yet available as an Apache 2.x module. Modules compiled for Apache 2.x are not compatible with Apache 1.3, and modules compiled for Apache 1.3 are not compatible with Apache 2.x.

Apache 1.3.41 is available for download from

http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi

This service utilizes the network of mirrors listed at:

http://www.apache.org/mirrors/

Binary distributions may be available for your specific platform from

http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/

Binaries distributed by the Apache HTTP Server Project are provided as a courtesy by individual project contributors. The project makes no commitment to release the Apache HTTP Server in binary form for any particular platform, nor on any particular schedule.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR APACHE USERS: Apache 1.3 was designed for Unix OS variants. While the ports to non-Unix platforms (such as Win32, Netware or OS2) will function for some applications, Apache 1.3 is not designed for these platforms. Apache 2 was designed from the ground up for security, stability, or performance issues across all modern operating systems. Users of any non-Unix ports are strongly cautioned to move to Apache 2.

The Apache project no longer distributes non-Unix platform binaries from the main download pages for Apache 1.3. If absolutely necessary, a binary may be available at http://archive.apache.org/dist/httpd/.

Apache is the most popular web server in the known universe; about 2/3 of the servers on the Internet run Apache HTTP Server, or one of its variants.

----

Bugfixes addressed in 1.3.41 are:

More efficient implementation of the CVE-2007-3304 PID table patch. This fixes issues with excessive memory usage by the parent process if long-running and with a high number of child process forks during that timeframe. Also fixes bogus "Bad pid" errors.
