Language:

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

postfixadmin was updated to 3.0.2 to fix the following issues :

 - PostfixAdmin 3.0.2 :

 - SECURITY: don't allow to delete protected aliases (CVE-2017-5930, boo#1024211)

 - fix VacationHandler for PostgreSQL

 - AliasHandler: restrict mailbox subquery to allowed and specified domains to improve performance on setups with lots of mailboxes

 - allow switching between dovecot:* password schemes while still accepting passwords hashed using the previous dovecot:* scheme

 - FetchmailHandler: use a valid date as default for 'date'

 - fix date formatting in non-english languages when using PostgreSQL

 - various small fixes

 - PostfixAdmin 3.0 :

 - add sqlite backend option

 - add configurable smtp helo (CONF['smtp_client'])

 - new translation: ro (Romanian)

 - language update: tw, cs, de

 - fix escaping in gen_show_status() (could be used to DOS list-virtual by creating a mail address with special chars)

 - add CSRF protection for POST requests

 - list.tpl: base edit/editactive/delete links in list.tpl on $RAW_item to avoid double escaping, and fix some corner cases

 - fix db_quota_text() for postgresql (concat() vs. ||)

 - change default date for 'created' and 'updated' columns from 0000-00-00 (which causes problems with MySQL strict mode) to 2000-01-01

 - allow punicode even in TLDs

 - update Smarty to 3.1.29

 - add checks to login.php and cli to ensure database layout is up to date

 - whitelist '-1' as valid value for postfixadmin-cli
