Release notes for the 2.10 series

Git client vulnerabilities

A number of critical Git security vulnerabilities were recently announced that affect all versions of the official Git client.

We strongly recommend that you ensure that all users update their Git clients, in addition to upgrading to this GitHub Enterprise release.

More details on these vulnerabilities can be found in the official announcement, and the associated CVEs, CVE-2018-11233 and CVE-2018-11235.

Security Fixes

• CRITICAL There was a remote code execution vulnerability that leveraged CVE-2018-11235 during the Pages build process. The Git package has been updated to address the vulnerability in the Pages build process. This fix is also available in GitHub Enterprise 2.10.22 and 2.10.23.
• GitHub will block pushing malicious Git submodules that could be used to exploit Git clients vulnerable to CVE-2018-11235.

Bug Fixes

• Enable marking one search index as primary when there are multiple primary Elasticsearch indexes listed.

Deprecation of GitHub Enterprise 2.10

GitHub Enterprise 2.10 is now deprecated as of June 5, 2018. That means that no patch releases will be made, even for critical security issues, after this date. For better performance, improved security, and new features, upgrade to the newest version of GitHub Enterprise as soon as possible.

Known Issues

• We incorrectly redirect to the dashboard if you accessed GitHub Enterprise using an alias while in private mode. This might happen if you set a fully qualified domain name but the subdomain resolves correctly.
• Images uploaded to issues save with an absolute URL, so they can be broken if the hostname changes.
• On a freshly set up GitHub Enterprise without any users, an attacker could create the first admin user.
• Custom firewall rules aren't maintained during an upgrade.
• svn checkout may timeout while the repository data cache is being built. In most cases, subsequent svn checkout attempts will succeed.
• Git LFS tracked files uploaded through the web interface are incorrectly added directly to the repository.
• GitHub Enterprise clustering can not be configured without https.
• Deleting a search index doesn't delete all associated metadata, which are then incorrectly reused if a new search index is created. This causes search index repair jobs to be reported as finished in the site admin when they were not.

Thanks!

Meltdown

This release addresses the Meltdown (CVE-2017-5754) attack. This has been fixed in the 3.16.51-3+deb8u1 release from Debian. Please note that this patch does not address the Spectre (CVE-2017-5753 and CVE-2017-5715) vulnerability. A fix is not available for the Spectre vulnerability yet.

Internally conducted benchmarks indicate the performance impact is limited to a 2-5% increase in CPU usage on most platforms. The impact can vary depending on your usage and platform though. If you see a significant performance difference, don't hesitate to reach out to Enterprise Support.

Note on Hotpatching

The hotpatch contains an upgrade to the kernel and requires a reboot. The Meltdown attack is not fixed until a reboot is performed.

Security Fixes

• HIGH: Kernel is updated to 3.16.51-3+deb8u1 which implements Kernel Page Table Isolation (KPTI) to address Meltdown.

Known Issues

• We incorrectly redirect to the dashboard if you accessed GitHub Enterprise using an alias while in private mode. This might happen if you set a fully qualified domain name but the subdomain resolves correctly.
• Images uploaded to issues save with an absolute URL, so they can be broken if the hostname changes.

Meltdown & Spectre

Meltdown (CVE-2017-5754) and Spectre (CVE-2017-5753 and CVE-2017-5715) exploit critical vulnerabilities in modern processors. These hardware vulnerabilities allow programs to extract data which is currently processed on the same machine. This also can affect GitHub Enterprise.

The risk to GitHub Enterprise depends on the environment that it runs in. There are two main vectors of attack that need to be considered.

Virtualization platform

Given that GitHub Enterprise runs on various virtualization platforms, it's essential to update the virtualization platform where possible to mitigate any of these issues. The existing patches and fixes almost all focus on solving Meltdown. Meltdown is more straightforward to fix and most providers focus on this first.

Spectre is more complicated to exploit and also more complicated to fix. KVM for example is not vulnerable to Meltdown but is vulnerable, with a proof of concept, to Spectre which was tested by Google in the project originally (see https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.nl/2018/01/reading-privileged-memory-with-side.html). Specifically under "Reading host memory from a KVM guest". This Spectre exploit tested against a specific kernel version, but nothing implies it's impossible to adapt for other kernel versions and or other virtualization platforms.

The following Cloud and virtualization platforms have released announcements and/or fixes.

• On AWS we use HVM for virtualization. According to Amazon, HVM is not vulnerable to Meltdown. Also see https://aws.amazon.com/security/security-bulletins/AWS-2018-013/
• Xen VMs using PV virtualization are vulnerable. We recommend switching to HVM virtualization as HVM is not vulnerable to Meltdown. Also see https://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/advisory-254.html under "Mitigation".
• Google Cloud is not vulnerable to Meltdown as VMs there are isolated and cross VM attacks are not possible.
  See their FAQ and the Google Cloud Security Bulletins page.
• Microsoft Azure is updating/rebooting infrastructure where necessary to mitigate potential hypervisor level issues. See https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/securing-azure-customers-from-cpu-vulnerability/.
• VMWare has released patches to address this at the hypervisor level: https://www.vmware.com/us/security/advisories/VMSA-2018-0002.html & https://lists.vmware.com/pipermail/security-announce/2018/000397.html. We strongly encourage customers install those patches.
• Intel has also announced they will be releasing updates for their processors. If the host platform you run GitHub Enterprise on has these patches available in the future, we also strongly recommend installing those.

Inside GitHub Enterprise

The vulnerability can also be exploited if there is code under the control of an attacker running on the same system. GitHub Enterprise has very limited support for custom code in the form of pre-receive hooks. Pre-receive hooks are limited such that administrators are the only ones who can set them up and their runtime execution is limited to 5 seconds. Both these aspects greatly limit the risk of data exposure through pre-receive hooks. As a general rule, administrators should ensure that only known and trusted pre-receive hooks are enabled on their appliance.

GitHub Enterprise is based on Debian Jessie. A fix for Meltdown is not yet available for Debian Jessie, as can be seen in the Debian CVE tracker for Meltdown. The new kernel version will be included in a future release of GitHub Enterprise and can potentially come with a performance regression. Accordingly, we recommend testing that release before putting it into production.

Summary

The primary risk for GitHub Enterprise installations is cross-guest or host <-> guest data leakage on the virtualization platform. This may be mitigated by the support cloud hosting providers, or by the suppliers of virtualization software. There is very limited risk of externally supplied software running within the appliance obtaining data from other processes, mitigated by administrators only enabling pre-receive hooks that are reviewed and trusted.

Security Fixes

• LOW: Pre-receive hooks could access internal cloud platform metadata. The metadata resources have been restricted to the root user.
• Packages have been updated to the latest security versions.

Bug Fixes

• NUMA enabled appliances could crash with a kernel panic. This was a known issue with linux-image-3.16.51-2.
• The pre-receive hook $GITHUB_PULL_REQUEST_AUTHOR_LOGIN environment variable was empty when pull requests were merged via the API.

Changes

• GitHub Enterprise support ticket creation via e-mail ([email protected]) has been disabled. Please contact GitHub Enterprise Support using the Submitting a ticket article.

Known Issues

• We incorrectly redirect to the dashboard if you accessed GitHub Enterprise using an alias while in private mode. This might happen if you set a fully qualified domain name but the subdomain resolves correctly.
• Images uploaded to issues save with an absolute URL, so they can be broken if the hostname changes.

GitHub Enterprise includes protection from vulnerable, weak SSH keys (CVE-2017-15361)

In response to CVE-2017-15361, certain SSH authentication RSA keys that were generated by some Yubikey 4 devices are vulnerable to private key factorization. Such keys are considered cryptographically weak and therefore in need of replacement. To help users avoid vulnerable keys, GitHub Enterprise has added capabilities to detect and reject them from being configured for user authentication. GitHub Enterprise now includes an administration utility, ghe-ssh-weak-fingerprints, to enable admins to list any affected keys and, optionally, perform a bulk revocation.

The affected supported versions are:

• 2.8.0 - 2.8.21
• 2.9.0 - 2.9.13
• 2.10.0 - 2.10.8
• 2.11.0 - 2.11.2

This vulnerability was found and reported internally and we have no evidence that it has been exploited in the wild.

Please contact GitHub Enterprise Support if you have questions.

Security Fixes

• Packages have been updated to the latest security versions.

Bug Fixes

• On Firefox browsers, the first page of some PDF files was blank when rendered.
• With private mode enabled, using git lfs locks to show the current locks on files tracked by Git LFS showed a user ID instead of a username.
• Checking high availability replication status could incorrectly report "CRITICAL: git-hooks replication is behind the primary by 3600s".
• SMTP port was still accepting TLSv1 even after disabling the TLSv1 protocol via the Management Console.
• Migrating specific repositories with ghe-migrator failed if an organization level Project referred to a repository that wasn't exported.
• Password reset emails included an inaccurate description of when the password reset link would expire.
• The "Clear page cache" link in the site admin modal failed if the current page's URL included query string parameters.
• Restoring a deleted repository from the site admin dashboard did not correctly restore its wiki. (updated 2017-11-09)

Known Issues

• We incorrectly redirect to the dashboard if you accessed GitHub Enterprise using an alias while in private mode. This might happen if you set a fully qualified domain name but the subdomain resolves correctly.
• Images uploaded to issues save with an absolute URL, so they can be broken if the hostname changes.
• On a freshly set up GitHub Enterprise without any users, an attacker could create the first admin user.
• Custom firewall rules aren't maintained during an upgrade.
• svn checkout may timeout while the repository data cache is being built. In most cases, subsequent svn checkout attempts will succeed.
• Git LFS tracked files uploaded through the web interface are incorrectly added directly to the repository.
• GitHub Enterprise clustering can not be configured without https.
• Deleting a search index doesn't delete all associated metadata, which are then incorrectly reused if a new search index is created. This causes search index repair jobs to be reported as finished in the site admin when they were not.
• After changing the visibility of a repository, wiki search results have a conflicting number of displayed search results. Administrators can reindex the wiki through the site admin dashboard. (updated 2017-11-09)
• The create team API endpoint returns a 500 error if LDAP Sync is enabled and the team already exists. (updated 2018-01-09)
• Pull request reviewer usernames were not updated if a reviewer was mapped to a different username when migrating repositories using ghe-migrator. (updated 2018-04-12)
