Apache/mod_ssl vulnerability and mitigation
November 7, 2009
The following announcement has just been made to the announce mailing list:
Apache httpd is affected by CVE-2009-3555[1] (The SSL Injection or MiM attack[2]).
The Apache httpd webserver relies on OpenSSL for the implementation of the SSL/TLS protocol.
We strongly urge you to upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.8l; and to be prepared to deploy OpenSSL 0.9.8m as it becomes available[3].
Note that these are for short term and mid-term mitigation only; the long term solution may well require a modification of the SSL and/or
TLS protocols[4].
For those who are not able to upgrade OpenSSL swiftly and/or for those who need detailed logging – we recommend that you roll out
this patch[5]:
http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/patches/
apply_to_2.2.14 CVE-2009-3555-2.2.patch
sha1: 28cd58f3758f1add39417333825b9d854f4f5f43
as soon as possible. This is a partial fix in lieu of the protocol issues being addressed and further changes to OpenSSL. Like the
OpenSSL 0.9.8l stopgap measure this patch rejects in-session renegotiation.
If you are unable to patch and unable to roll our a newer version of OpenSSL, and you rely on Client Side Authentication with Certificates
then we recommend that you 1) ensure that you limit your configuration to a single ‘SSLClient require’ on VirtualHost/Sever level and 2)
remove all other (re)negotiation/require directives. However this does NOT fully protect you – it just curtails authentication in this
specific setting.

Firebug Lite
November 5, 2009
Firebug is an extension for Firefox, but what happens when you need to test your pages in Internet Explorer, Opera, and Safari?
The solution is Firebug Lite, a JavaScript file you can insert into your pages to simulate some Firebug features in browsers that are not named “Firefox”.
Firebug Lite creates the variable “firebug” and doesn’t affect or interfere with HTML elements that aren’t created by itself.
The following screen shots show you what you get…
Firebug Lite on IE
IE6 CSS
IE6 Console
Firebug Lite on Safari
Safari Console
Safari DOM
Safari Script
Firebug Lite on Opera
Opera Console
Opera HTML
It can be downloaded from http://getfirebug.com/lite.html

TortoiseSVN 1.6.6 has been released
November 5, 2009
TortoiseSVN is an easy-to-use SCM / source control software for Microsoft Windows and possibly the best standalone Subversion client there is. It is implemented as a Windows shell extension, which makes it integrate seamlessly into the Windows explorer. Since it’s not an integration for a specific IDE you can use it with whatever development tools you like.
TortoiseSVN 1.6.6 has been released.
This is a bugfix release/maintenance release.
You can get it from the download page.

SeaMonkey 2.0 – The Modern Internet Suite is Here!
November 3, 2009
The SeaMonkey project at Mozilla is excited to release its completely refurbished next generation of the all-in one Internet suite today: SeaMonkey 2.0, now available for free download, melds the ideas behind Netscape Communicator with the modern platform of Firefox 3.5 to create one of the most compelling open source products for advanced Internet users.
The combination of an Internet browser, email & newsgroup client, HTML editor, IRC chat and web development tools, that has already established a wide user base in its previous incarnations, has been rebuilt on top of the modern Mozilla platform, featuring world-class add-on management among other things.
In addition, it has been improved with
- feed support (including an RSS and Atom feed reader in the mail component),
- a modern look,
- restoration of browser tabs and windows after crashes or restarts,
- tabbed mail,
- automated updates,
- smart history search from the location bar,
- faster JavaScript,
- HTML5 features (for example video and downloadable fonts),
- and even support for the Lightning calendar add-on (which will issue a beta for installation on SeaMonkey 2.0 in the next few weeks).
The Release Notes feature more in-depth lists of the improvements and known issues with the new version as well as installation requirements and instructions.
Screenshots of SeaMonkey 2.0 in action on a Windows XP computer are available at: http://www.seamonkey-project.org/doc/2.0/screenshots
