Here is the update report. Cheers Jan -- CVE-2010-0009: Apache CouchDB Timing Attack Vulnerability Severity: Important Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation Versions Affected: Apache CouchDB 0.8.0 to 0.10.1 Description: Apache CouchDB versions prior to version 0.11.0 are vulnerable to timing attacks, also known as side-channel information leakage, due to using simple break-on-inequality string comparisons when verifying hashes and passwords. Mitigation: All users should upgrade to CouchDB 0.11.0. Upgrades from the 0.10.x series should be seamless. Users on earlier versions should consult http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Breaking_changes Example: A canonical description of the attack can be found in http://codahale.com/a-lesson-in-timing-attacks/ Credit: This issue was discovered by Jason Davies of the Apache CouchDB development team.
