ANN: eGenix pyOpenSSL Distribution 0.13.9
by eGenix Team: M.-A. Lemburg June 12, 2015

June 12, 2015

________________________________________________________________________ ANNOUNCING eGenix.com pyOpenSSL Distribution Version 0.13.9 An easy-to-install and easy-to-use distribution of the pyOpenSSL Python interface for OpenSSL - available for Windows, Mac OS X and Unix platforms This announcement is also available on our web-site for online reading: http://www.egenix.com/company/news/eGenix-pyOpenSSL-Distribution-0.13.9.html ________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION The eGenix.com pyOpenSSL Distribution includes everything you need to get started with SSL in Python. It comes with an easy-to-use installer that includes the most recent OpenSSL library versions in pre-compiled form, making your application independent of OS provided OpenSSL libraries: http://www.egenix.com/products/python/pyOpenSSL/ pyOpenSSL is an open-source Python add-on that allows writing SSL/TLS- aware network applications as well as certificate management tools: https://launchpad.net/pyopenssl/ OpenSSL is an open-source implementation of the SSL/TLS protocol: http://www.openssl.org/ ________________________________________________________________________ NEWS This new release of the eGenix.com pyOpenSSL Distribution includes the following updates: New in eGenix pyOpenSSL ----------------------- * Fixed a bug in the build process which resulted in the CA bundle files not get installed in the OpenSSL/ package dir. * Added a work-around for recent pip versions not showing the installer output, causing an apparently hanging installation process. The installer will now use a timeout when entering the crypto confirmation and report how to fix the problem (by using an environment variable EGENIX_CRYPTO_CONFIRM for confirmation). * Updated the Mozilla CA root bundle to version 2015-04-22. * Various minor fixes to the web installer to make installations on Linux and FreeBSD more robust, having pip uninstall not remove the .pyc/.pyo files, intermittent error causing a source installation in some rare cases. New in OpenSSL -------------- * Updated included OpenSSL libraries from OpenSSL 1.0.1m to 1.0.1n. See https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20150611.txt for a complete list of changes. The following fixes are relevant for pyOpenSSL applications: - CVE-2015-1788: Possible infinite loop during client authentication, which can be used for Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. - CVE-2015-1789: X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME string and can read a few bytes out of bounds, which can lead to a segmentation fault. - CVE-2015-1790: The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent correctly, which can lead to a NULL pointer dereference on parsing. - CVE-2015-1792: When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop if presented with an unknown hash function OID. - CVE-2015-1791: If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to a double free of the ticket data. Please see the product changelog for the full set of changes. http://www.egenix.com/products/python/pyOpenSSL/changelog.html pyOpenSSL / OpenSSL Binaries Included ------------------------------------- In addition to providing sources, we make binaries available that include both pyOpenSSL and the necessary OpenSSL libraries for all supported platforms: Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and FreeBSD, for x86 and x64. To simplify installation, we have uploaded a web installer to PyPI which will automatically choose the right binary for your platform, so a simple pip install egenix-pyopenssl will get you the package with OpenSSL libraries installed. Please see our installation instructions for details: http://www.egenix.com/products/python/pyOpenSSL/#Installation We have also added .egg-file distribution versions of our eGenix.com pyOpenSSL Distribution for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X to the available download options. These make setups using e.g. zc.buildout and other egg-file based installers a lot easier. ________________________________________________________________________ DOWNLOADS The download archives and instructions for installing the package can be found at: http://www.egenix.com/products/python/pyOpenSSL/ ________________________________________________________________________ UPGRADING Before installing this version of pyOpenSSL, please make sure that you uninstall any previously installed pyOpenSSL version. Otherwise, you could end up not using the included OpenSSL libs. _______________________________________________________________________ SUPPORT Commercial support for these packages is available from eGenix.com.

ANN: eGenix mxODBC Plone/Zope Database Adapter 2.2.2
by eGenix Team: M.-A. Lemburg June 10, 2015

June 10, 2015

________________________________________________________________________ ANNOUNCING mxODBC Plone/Zope Database Adapter Version 2.2.2 for the Plone CMS and Zope server platform Available for Plone 4.0-4.3 and Plone 5.0, Zope 2.12 and 2.13, on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD and other platforms This announcement is also available on our web-site for online reading: http://www.egenix.com/company/news/eGenix-mxODBC-Zope-DA-2.2.2-GA.html ________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION The eGenix mxODBC Zope DA allows you to easily connect your Zope or Plone CMS installation to just about any database backend on the market today, giving you the reliability of the commercially supported eGenix product mxODBC and the flexibility of the ODBC standard as middle-tier architecture. The mxODBC Zope Database Adapter is highly portable, just like Zope itself and provides a high performance interface to all your ODBC data sources, using a single well-supported interface on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD and other platforms. This makes it ideal for deployment in ZEO Clusters and Zope hosting environments where stability and high performance are a top priority, establishing an excellent basis and scalable solution for your Plone CMS. Product page: http://www.egenix.com/products/zope/mxODBCZopeDA/ ________________________________________________________________________ NEWS The 2.2.2 release of our mxODBC Zope/Plone Database Adapter product is a patch level release of the popular ODBC database interface for Plone and Zope. It includes these enhancements and fixes: Driver Compatibility Enhancements --------------------------------- * Reenabled returning cursor.rowcount for FreeTDS >= 0.91. In previous versions, FreeTDS could return wrong data for .rowcount when using SELECTs. Fixes ----- * Removed exists() built-in from mxODBC Zope DA's implicit addition of new built-ins via mxTools. This resolves a hard to track bug where the new built-in could potentially override the TAL python:exists function (in e.g. tal:condition="exists:something"). See this Products.CMFEditions fix for an example where the problem surfaced. This is a bug in TAL (it shouldn't give preference to built-ins over its own helpers), but we're providing the fix as easy work-around. The complete list of changes is available on the mxODBC Zope DA changelog page. http://www.egenix.com/products/zope/mxODBCZopeDA/changelog.html mxODBC Zope DA 2.2.0 was released on 2014-12-11. Please see the mxODBC Zope DA 2.2.0 release announcement for all the new features we have added. http://www.egenix.com/company/news/eGenix-mxODBC-Zope-DA-2.2.0-GA.html For the full list of features, please see the mxODBC Zope DA feature list: http://www.egenix.com/products/zope/mxODBCZopeDA/#Features The complete list of changes is available on the mxODBC Zope DA changelog page. ________________________________________________________________________ UPGRADING Users are encouraged to upgrade to this latest mxODBC Plone/Zope Database Adapter release to benefit from the new features and updated ODBC driver support. We have taken special care not to introduce backwards incompatible changes, making the upgrade experience as smooth as possible. For major and minor upgrade purchases, we will give out 20% discount coupons going from mxODBC Zope DA 1.x to 2.2 and 50% coupons for upgrades from mxODBC 2.x to 2.2. After upgrade, use of the original license from which you upgraded is no longer permitted. Patch level upgrades (e.g. 2.2.0 to 2.2.2) are always free of charge.
