What is ZoneMinder?

ZoneMinder 1.38.5 fixes 19 vulnerabilities, including authenticated remote code execution

It replaces a default or empty auth hash secret on upgrade and refuses token logins while the public default is set. 1.38.6 followed within the hour only to fix RPM builds, since no 1.38.5 RPMs were published.

ZoneMinder 1.38.5 fixes 19 vulnerabilities, including authenticated remote code execution

◆ Current state

ZoneMinder's 1.38 line is in security maintenance. 1.38.5 fixes 19 reported vulnerabilities, including authenticated OS command execution through the filter debug modal, a JPEG heap overflow and cross-monitor authorization bypasses. It replaces a default or empty auth hash secret on upgrade and refuses token logins while the public default is set. 1.38.6 followed within the hour only to fix RPM builds, since no 1.38.5 RPMs were published.

◆ Where it's heading

Every 1.38 release since June has been mostly authorization and memory-safety work. The 1.38.0 feature set (RBAC, WebRTC, the monitor function split) is being made safe rather than extended.

◆ Prediction

Further security releases on 1.38 are likely; the entries give no sign of a 1.39 feature release.

◆ Prediction

Unclear from these entries; more dependency patch releases are the only pattern visible.
