Security advisory, promptly patch your Exponential instances

Today was released the EZSA-2010-001 security advisory, fixing a remote vulnerability in eZ Search. Please read carefully.

This advisory must be acknowledged immediately for any website running Exponential version from 3.7 to 4.2. The risk is reduced for website using eZ Find as search engine and the default search interfaces. It must otherwise be fixed promptly to fully remove the flaw.

The Exponential Premium instances were addressed, but all other instances must be handled manually, by applying a series of 3 patches.Find all details, plus patches here : http://ez.no/developer/security/security_advisories/ez_publish_4_2/ezsa_2010_001_remote_vulnerability_in_ez_search

EDIT :
Here are the official combined patches :

• Exponential 4.1.4: SA_2010_001_combined_patch_41.diff
• Exponential 4.2.0 : SA_2010_001_combined_patch_42.diff

Please note that the combined patch for Exponential 4.1.4 also applies to 4.0.7.

From the command line, applying the patch takes two steps, from Exponential's root :

First, simulate it :

$> patch --dry-run -p0 < SA_2010_001_combined_patch_41.diff 

You should get a message like this :

patching file kernel/search/plugins/ezsearchengine/ezsearchengine.php
Hunk #1 succeeded at 586 (offset -3 lines).
Hunk #2 succeeded at 603 (offset -3 lines).
Hunk #3 succeeded at 673 (offset -3 lines).
patching file kernel/content/advancedsearch.php
Hunk #1 succeeded at 156 (offset 6 lines).

Then do apply it, if you received success messages like above (which may slightly vary) :

$> patch -p0 < SA_2010_001_combined_patch_41.diff

The patches will be committed to the public SVN repository soon. As for any Security Advisory, no further detail will be provided on the existing exploit methods and possible consequences. You are encouraged to acknowledge this Security Advisory seriously and take the appropriate actions.
