Introducing the new FAmSCo chairs
by Christoph Wickert 17 Dec '12

17 Dec '12

My fellow ambassadors, I have been serving as FAmSCo chair for a year now and it's time for me to pass the torch (the buck?) to somebody else. I am happy to announce that in today's FAmSCo meeting Jiri Eischmann [1] was elected. I think he really deserves it because he was very active and effectively ran FAmSCo while I was busy with my dayjob. As FAmSCo chair, Jiri was to appoint the vice chair and I am glad he picked Clint Savage [2]. This means we now have two of the most active members of the two biggest communities leading FAmSCo and I am looking forward to work with them. Kind regards, Christoph [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Eischmann [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Herlo

Fedora Project OpenID Security issue
by Robyn Bergeron 13 Dec '12

13 Dec '12

Greetings, On 2012-12-12 we discovered a bug in the Fedora Project OpenID provider. This bug was pulled in with a fix on 2012-10-23. We patched this problem on 2012-12-12, shortly after its discovery. While the bug was present, anyone with a valid Fedora Account System (FAS) account who tried to log into a remote website using any FAS OpenID identity would have that identity validated by FAS even if the identity belonged to a *different FAS user*. The fix we put in place rejects the attempt if the user who logs in does not own the identity that they requested. Potentially affected accounts have been notified directly with a list of their OpenID site requests with time and date for review. Note that the only applications that Fedora Infrastructure runs that are a consumer of OpenID are ask.fedoraproject.org and the FUDCon Lawrence registration app that runs on OpenShift. This bug in no way affected any of the rest of Fedora Infrastructure. We have taken the following steps moving forward: * The bug has been hotfixed. The OpenID provider will now disallow using an id different from your Fedora Account System id. * We are working on upstream fixes to the account system to more robustly handle cases around OpenID. * We are working upstream to add additional logging so we can more easily identify issues like this. For more information about the Fedora Project OpenID provider, see: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenID We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this issue. If you have any concerns or questions, please contact admin(a)fedoraproject.org. -Robyn Bergeron
