ImageMagick security alert
by Alice Wonder 07 May '16

07 May '16

https://imagetragick.com/ As CentOS is often used for web servers, I thought this should be posted here. Bug in ImageMagick allows remote exploit. AFAIK no patch exists yet but defense against the exploit is detailed at the link. CVE-2016–3714

I looked at man xfs_growfs and found -d option and so I used this and it worked: sudo xfs_growfs / -d -- john r pierce, recycling bits in santa cruz _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos Thanks! -wes

resize lvm
by Wes James 06 May '16

06 May '16

I have a laptop that I put centos 7 on and I started out with a 30gig partition. I resized the other part of the disk to allow more space for centos. I then created an unformated partition in the available space, ran pvcreate /dev/sda4 vgextend lvname /dev/sda4 lvextend -L 184.46G /dev/lvname/root but when I run: sudo resize2fs /dev/lvname/root I get: resize2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/lvname/root Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock. How do I resize the volume? Thanks, -wes

[off-topic] Validating e-mail address with php
by Alice Wonder 06 May '16

06 May '16

After running into several web application that rejected any e-mail address on the new gTLDs because the apps were badly written to validate with a hard-coded list of valid TLDs, I wrote a e-mail validation function that I *think* does things properly. Free for anyone to use who wants to. https://deviant.email/emailaddytest.phps What it really does is use the PHP built-in filter_var but it compensates for known bugs in the filter_var e-mail address validation. It return boolean. I *think* it will properly validate any legal routable address and reject any that are not. But bugs may exist. By default when the host part of user@host is a domain name, it does a DNS query to validate the host resolves. That adds a little latency but I think is worth it. My own implementation will probably cache a positive result for up to 24 hours with APCu but that's not in the function linked. The dns lookup can be disabled. By default it will reject IP address as the host part, but that can be enabled. When enabled, it will reject private and reserved range. Well, reject what is hard-coded into PHP filter_var - I haven't tested that. International domain names will only validate if the php-intl functions are installed (to turn them into punycode) -=- For the username validation, that's where any bugs are most likely to exist. But I think I did it right. It's very unfortunate that the built-in php filter doesn't do it right. Anyway free for anyone, I'm tired of e-mail address filters that don't properly work with common user names on perfectly legal domains that just happen to be newly ICANN approved. You can see live testing by just removing the last s from the filename.

yum update (first in a long time) - /var/log/dovecot no longer used
by Gary Stainburn 06 May '16

06 May '16

Me again, Another change to my Centos 7.2 system since my 'yum update' yesterday is that /var/log/dovecot is no longer written to. If I do 'systemctl status dovecot' I can see log entries. How can I now do the equiv or 'tail -f <logfile>' Also, why has this changed, and where is it documented?

Some > people would complain whichever option they chose. Or have packagers divide configuration files into system and local with local overriding system. Then restrict software updates such that they modify only system configs leaving locals alone. That way new things can be added with old things are left as they are. Some software already behaves like this. There is no evident technical reason why most of the rest could not as well. If an update is such that old things cannot be left alone then that is sufficient to require an rpmnew and a warning to the installer that manual intervention is required to complete the update. In fact, anything of that nature would benefit from requiring a special switch to install so that 'yum update' would not break a running system. -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail Do NOT open attachments nor follow links sent by e-Mail James B.

FirewallD and FTP passive mode
by Marcin Trendota 06 May '16

06 May '16

Howdy I'm trying to run FTP server behind firewall. And i can't enable passive mode from the Internet. There are plenty howtos but there aren't many with my combination. For now i have configured port forwarding and ftp server itself. On the router: # firewall-cmd --list-all --zone=external external (active) interfaces: enp3s1 sources: services: openvpn ssh ports: 1194/tcp 2666/tcp 88/tcp masquerade: yes forward-ports: port=21:proto=tcp:toport=:toaddr=10.0.32.7 port=10090-10100:proto=tcp:toport=:toaddr=10.0.32.7 port=88:proto=tcp:toport=80:toaddr=10.0.32.23 icmp-blocks: rich rules: I also did: # modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp ports=10090,10100 excerpt form vsftpd.conf on the FTP server: pasv_enable=Yes pasv_min_port=10090 pasv_max_port=10100 pasv_addr_resolve=Yes >From LAN or through VPN it works. But on the public address i can only log in, cannot turn into passive mode: Connected to ftp1.domain.com (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx). 220 (vsFTPd 2.2.2) Name (ftp1.domain.com:root): user 331 Please specify the password. Password: 230 Login successful. Remote system type is UNIX. Using binary mode to transfer files. ftp> ls 227 Entering Passive Mode (10,0,32,7,39,111). ftp: connect: Connection timed out Also this IP looks weird - shouldn't it be public IP? What am i doing wrong? TIA. -- Over And Out MoonWolf

yum update (first in a long time) - EXIM environment variable warning
by Gary Stainburn 06 May '16

06 May '16

Me again, Another problem I've found since doing my yum update is that EXIM is now showing the following error, on startup, and repeatedly in main.log [root@ollie2 ~]# exim -bt localpart(a)example.com 2016-05-06 09:27:04 WARNING: purging the environment. Suggested action: use keep_environment and add_environment. ............... Googling says that to fix this all I need to do is add keep_environment to exim.conf. What I'm struggling to find out is why it's suddenly needed and what the effects are
