cPanel TSR-2016-0001

Overview

On January 18, 2016, cPanel announced that it had discovered vulnerabilities affecting all current versions of its control panel software. At the time of the announcement, cPanel issued a Targeted Security Release for each software tier, which the company said addresses 20 vulnerabilities in cPanel and WHM.

Because the issues were discovered internally by cPanel, and cPanel does not believe that there are any exploits of the vulnerabilities in the wild, they are not yet releasing any additional information on the exact nature of the issues. The company will allow sufficient time for potentially vulnerable servers to be updated before providing additional information.

Impact

    • All servers running a version of cPanel/WHM lower than the versions indicated below are affected. All servers running a version of cPanel/WHM equal to or greater than those below are not affected:
      • 54.0.4 (WHM 54.0 build 4) on the CURRENT and EDGE Tiers
      • 11.52.2.4 (WHM 11.52.2 build 4) on the STABLE and RELEASE Tiers
      • 11.50.4.3 (WHM 11.50.4 build 3) and 11.48.5.2 (WHM 11.48.5 build 2) on the Long-Term Support (LTS) Tiers
      There are no known “in the wild” exploits of the cPanel vulnerabilities at this time. cPanel’s regular update process automatically will download and apply the appropriate new software version for your chosen tier, addressing all known vulnerabilities.

      Summary

      If your cPanel server is configured to automatically check for updates, no action is required on your part, and the patch automatically will be applied at the server’s next check. If you have disabled automatic updates, you can follow the instructions in our tutorial, How To Upgrade and Patch cPanel to manually update cPanel. If you require any assistance, please contact GigaPros Support. read more....

“Shell Shock Bash” vulnerability on your server

On September 24th, a vulnerability was reported in the GNU ourne-Again-Shell (BASh, or Bash), specifically a flaw with how Bash processes values of environment variables, that allows remote code execution of varying types in many common configurations. The overall risk is severe due to bash being configured for use, by default, on most Linux servers.

GigaPros immediately fixed this for all the shared servers (servers which are hosting Personal plans, Business plans and Reseller plans). The main hardware nodes of VPS and Cloud servers are also fixed.

But for VPS containers, Cloud containers as well as Dedicated servers, users are advised to check because some servers may remain vulnerable depending on their update settings or other unforeseen intervening factors. Thus, we’ve provided the instructions below. To Summarize: read more....
