Description Louis Sautier (sbraz) gentoo-dev 2015-08-07 12:38:35 UTC
Hi, an exploit was found and Mozilla released a fix for firefox 38 and 39. It would be nice to see it fixed in the tree.

A simple version bump (to be more precisely: just a copy of firefox-39.0.ebuild to firefox-39.0.3.ebuild) built here at ~amd64 (and runs). I didn't really check all the language packages from mozilla.org, only the ones I used plus the main tarball. Therefore I can't provide a proper Manifest file.

Hope this helps anywone.
Comment 4 Louis Sautier (sbraz) gentoo-dev 2015-08-07 15:23:13 UTC
I can provide it: http://sprunge.us/aFNJ
It rebuilt fine for me as well on amd64.

I'm doing the bumps now, it'll take a bit of time to compile-test and run-test before I can commit though.  Will be done by end of day today.

Does anyone here have an issue with me pushing the 38.1.1 bump direct to stable?  I haven't completed a full diff yet but so far as I can tell from upstream bugzilla the only change is to the PDF.js module, so all other operational bits remain the same between 38.1.0 and 38.1.1..
Comment 6 Mario Kicherer 2015-08-07 16:24:20 UTC
38.1.1 works fine with an ebuild bump on AMD64 here.

Ugh, nevermind -- they added a whole ton of additions to the build system as well; i think it's all just related to mozilla's own release system but I can't say exactly for sure.  Better safe than sorry.

Arch Teams, please stabilize as soon as possible:

www-client/firefox-bin-38.1.1:
Target KEYWORDS="-* amd64 x86"

www-client/firefox-38.1.1:
Target KEYWORDS="amd64 hppa ppc ppc64 x86"

Hate to ruin the party just as you're getting ESR 38.1.1 out the door, but Mozilla just released 38.2.  The vulnerabilities it fixes are mostly more academic than the serious PDF viewer exploit in the last one, but nonetheless, it is a security-fix release:

Also, they say 38.2 is supposed to fix a build problem on hppa, though I don't know if Gentoo ever had that problem.

Already in the tree as per version bump bug 557532, and security bug has been filed as well, bug 557590.  Gentoo-Security will handle this bug until resolution.
