X2Go Client for Windows (4.0.3.1-20150119) released
by Mike DePaulo 24 Jan '15

24 Jan '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Dear all, This is to announce a new Windows-specific release of the X2Go component ,,x2goclient'' Note that the 1st release of X2Go Client 4.0.3.1 for Windows was 4.0.3.1-20141214. The changes are relative to that release. The changes in this release of ,,x2goclient'' are: o Windows: Win32 OpenSSL updated from 1.0.1j to 1.0.1L, which fixes the CVEs announced on 2015-01-08. o Windows: Cygwin OpenSSL updated from 1.0.1j-1 to 1.0.1k-1, which fixes the CVEs announced on 2015-01-08. o Windows: Bundle new version of VcXsrv: 1.15.2.2-xp+vc2013+x2go1. The differences from 1.15.2.1-xp+vc2013+x2go1 are that its bundled OpenSSL has been updated to 1.0.1k, and that xorg-server CVE-2014-8091..8103 have been fixed. o Windows: Update libssh from 0.6.3 to 0.6.4 (while maintaining Pageant support). This fixes CVE-2014-8132, which shouldn't affect x2goclient because x2goclient uses the SSH client functionality, not the SSH server functionality. 0.6.4 also added 4 features related to ECDSA keys. As with most vulnerabilities in 3rd party software, the X2Go project has not done an analysis of whether X2Go Client was actually affected by these vulnerabilities (except for libssh CVE-2014-8132.) However, as a precaution, we are releasing this updated build of X2Go Client for Windows. Unless an analysis is performed for each vulnerability, we strongly encourage all users to update. For the Windows-specific release notes for this release, see this page: http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:release-notes-mswin:x2goclient-4.0.3.1 Regards, Mike DePaulo -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (GNU/Linux) iF4EAREIAAYFAlTDKFkACgkQIFy22CVQsitu3wEA6IWC5BdNFqib0ifSvIrhYkAI nwbXGCcjQQZT5Y03Q9kBAOkZQ3b7lar71BfBBZhrqACqpNh5lN2c/MhkcH1+kGIm =f6KC -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Re: [X2Go-Dev] Shifting my focus in X2Go

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Mike#1, we really thank you for your contributions, ideas and your help in the last 4 years. Thank you for taking the lead and assuming command when and where leadership was needed especially when the project was lacking it. Our Project is of course more than just the sum of all parts, but first and foremost, it *is* the sum of its parts. And you have been a significant part from the very moment you joined. We are obviously saddened by your decision to retire from most of the key positions you held. At least it did not come as a surprise to us, and we've had a chance to prepare. Also, we are happy about your decision that you will remain active in the project, so we will have a chance to tap into your knowledge and experience, whenever the need should arise. Thank you for contributing your projects and of course thank you for lending us your communication skills! It was a milestone for X2Go to get X2Goclient inside Debian! Pyhoca is offering a second way of usability and now people have a choice about the client. There are so many tasks we should be thankful of (jenkins, nightlies, git-administration, to be continued -> I believe you won't stop) and we really are! It would be a great honor for us to have you as host on our Gathering 2014 in Essen, please visit us 2015 in Treuchtlingen! Best Regards, Heinz-M.
