Important XAMPP Security Fix

2016-02-24T01:00:00+01:00

Hi Apache Friends!

We have just released new versions of all XAMPP supported versions for Windows, Linux and OS X: 7.0.3-1, 5.6.15-2 and 5.5.30-7.

You can download new versions at http://www.apachefriends.org/download.html.

Impact: An attacker could have access phpMyAdmin from remote servers bypassing the XAMPP security approach. This issue affects all platforms.

All users running an affected release should either upgrade or use one of the workarounds immediately.

Workaround: If you already have a previous version installed and you can not install a new XAMPP, please do the following changes in your XAMPP files:

Windows: C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf

Linux: /opt/lampp/etc/extra/httpd-xampp.conf

OS X: /Applications/XAMPP/etc/extra/httpd-xampp.conf

Alias /phpmyadmin "/xampp/phpMyAdmin/" <Directory "/xampp/phpMyAdmin"> AllowOverride AuthConfig - Require all granted + Require local + ErrorDocument 403 /error/XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var </Directory>

Heartbleed OpenSSL Bug

2014-04-09T02:00:00+02:00

The Heartbleed Bug is a serious vulnerability in the popular OpenSSL cryptographic software library. This weakness allows stealing the information protected, under normal conditions, by the SSL/TLS encryption used to secure.

OpenSSL versions from 1.0.1 through 1.0.1f (inclusive) are vulnerable and make it possible to steal information, including everything from the encrypted content and to the secret key used for the encryption. The attack is also indetectable. This security issue has been described in detail on the following page:

http://heartbleed.com/

If you are running any of the affected versions and are running a SSL-enabled website, meaning that you can access it using the https:// prefix instead of http://, you will need to patch the libraries in your system and replace the certificates and keys that may have been compromised. Please notice that remote access using ssh is NOT affected.

How to check if you are affected

Navigate to your XAMPP page and visit the phpinfo() link in the Php section of the left panel:

And look for "SSL Version":

If the version is between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1f (both included), you are running a vulnerable version. The previous image shows an affected one, from XAMPP 1.8.3-3 for Windows. If you are running XAMPP 1.8.2 on Windows you are NOT vulnerable.

How to fix it

We have released new XAMPP versions for all platforms fixing the bug but if you need to patch existing installations, you can follow the below instructions:

XAMPP for Windows

If you are running XAMPP 1.8.2 on Windows you are NOT vulnerable. To patch your current 1.8.3 installation you will need to replace some files in your installation following the below steps:

Download the Windows patch files xampp-opensslfix-win32.zip
Stop Apache using the XAMPP control panel
Uncompress the xampp-opensslfix-win32.zip file in your desktop. It contains a folder with the following list of files: libeay32.dll ssleay32.dll openssl.exe
Navigate to your Apache bin directory, typically under: c:\xampp\apache\bin
Create a directory to story a copy of the files that will be replaced named 'opensslbackup'
Move the below list of files (located in the c:\xampp\apache\bin directory) to the folder you just created (opensslbackup) c:\xampp\apache\bin\libeay32.dll c:\xampp\apache\bin\ssleay32.dll c:\xampp\apache\bin\openssl.exe
Copy the files under the xampp-opensslfix-win32 folder you uncompressed in step 3 to c:\xampp\apache\bin
Navigate to your PHP directory, typically under: c:\xampp\php
Create a directory to story a copy of the files that will be replaced named 'opensslbackup'
Move the below list of files (located in the c:\xampp\php directory) to the folder you just created (opensslbackup) c:\xampp\php\libeay32.dll c:\xampp\php\ssleay32.dll
Copy the files under the xampp-opensslfix-win32 folder you uncompressed in step 3 to c:\xampp\php
Start Apache using the XAMPP control panel
Verify that the "SSL Version" has been updated to a safe one (at least 1.0.1g) using the phpinfo() information as explained in the previous section

XAMPP for Linux

To patch your current installation you will need to replace some files in your installation. The first step would be to download the proper patch files for your architecture. If you are not sure, you can use the below command:

file /opt/lampp/bin/openssl

If the output looks like:

/opt/lampp/bin/openssl: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, stripped

Then you need the 64 bit version: xampp-opensslfix-linux-x64.tar.gz

And if it looks like:

/opt/lampp/bin/openssl: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, stripped

You will need the x86 version: xampp-opensslfix-linux.tar.gz

Once you have the proper patch, you can either use the patch.sh script contained in them or follow the steps manually:

Automated Method

This method will try to automatically patch your XAMPP installation. If it fails at some point and your installation seems to still be outdated, you will have to check the manual method:

Download the Linux patch files (grab the proper version depending on your platform as explained above).
Uncompress the downloaded file under /tmp tar -xzf xampp-opensslfix-linux.tar.gz -C /tmp/
Execute the patch.sh script: sudo /tmp/xampp-opensslfix-linux/patch.sh In most of the cases, the output of the script will be: Current OpenSSL version is: OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014 You seem to be running an INSECURE OpenSSL version. Press any key to continue with the patching process. Stopping Apache XAMPP: Stopping Apache...ok. Backing up files Patching files Starting Apache XAMPP: Starting Apache...ok. New OpenSSL version is OpenSSL 1.0.1g 7 Apr 2014 Successfully patched!

Manual Method

Download the Linux patch files (grab the proper version depending on your platform as explained above).
Stop Apache: sudo /opt/lampp/xampp stopapache
Uncompress the xampp-opensslfix-linux.tar.gz (or xampp-opensslfix-linux-x64.tar.gz) file under /tmp/ tar -xzf xampp-opensslfix-linux.tar.gz -C /tmp/
Navigate to your XAMPP directory: cd /opt/lampp/
Create a directory to story a copy of the files that will be replaced named 'opensslbackup' sudo mkdir -p /opt/lampp/opensslbackup/
Move the below list of files to the folder you just created (opensslbackup) sudo mv /opt/lampp/lib/libssl* /opt/lampp/opensslbackup/ sudo mv /opt/lampp/lib/libcrypto* /opt/lampp/opensslbackup/ sudo mv /opt/lampp/lib/engines /opt/lampp/opensslbackup/ sudo mv /opt/lampp/bin/openssl /opt/lampp/opensslbackup/
Copy the files under the xampp-opensslfix-linux folder you uncompressed in step 3 to your XAMPP installation sudo cp -rp /tmp/xampp-opensslfix-linux/lib/* /opt/lampp/lib/ sudo cp -rp /tmp/xampp-opensslfix-linux/bin/openssl /opt/lampp/bin/
Start Apache sudo /opt/lampp/xampp startapache
Verify that the "SSL Version" has been updated to a safe one (at least 1.0.1g) using the phpinfo() information as explained in the previous section

Or using the below command:

sudo /opt/lampp/bin/openssl version

It should now show a version higher to 1.0.1f:

OpenSSL 1.0.1g 7 Apr 2014

XAMPP for OS X

To patch your current installation you will need to replace some files in your installation. The first step would be to download the patch files for OS X: xampp-opensslfix-osx.tar.gz nce you have the patch, you can either use the patch.sh script contained in them or follow the steps manually:

Automated Method

This method will try to automatically patch your XAMPP installation. If it fails at some point and your installation seems to still be outdated, you will have to check the manual method:

Download the Linux patch files (xampp-opensslfix-osx.tar.gz
Uncompress the downloaded file under /tmp tar -xzf xampp-opensslfix-osx.tar.gz -C /tmp/
Execute the patch.sh script: sudo /tmp/xampp-opensslfix-osx/patch.sh

In most of the cases, the output of the script will be: Current OpenSSL version is: OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014 You seem to be running an INSECURE OpenSSL version. Press any key to continue with the patching process. Stopping Apache XAMPP: Stopping Apache...ok. Backing up files Patching files Starting Apache XAMPP: Starting Apache...ok. New OpenSSL version is OpenSSL 1.0.1g 7 Apr 2014 Successfully patched!

Manual Method

Download the Linux patch files (xampp-opensslfix-osx.tar.gz)
Stop Apache: sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/xampp stopapache
Uncompress the xampp-opensslfix-osx.tar.gz file under /tmp/ tar -xzf xampp-opensslfix-osx.tar.gz -C /tmp
Navigate to your XAMPP directory: cd /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/
Create a directory to story a copy of the files that will be replaced named 'opensslbackup' sudo mkdir -p /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/opensslbackup/
Move the below list of files to the folder you just created (opensslbackup) sudo mv /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib/libssl* /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/opensslbackup/ sudo mv /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib/libcrypto* /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/opensslbackup/ sudo mv /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib/engines /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/opensslbackup/ sudo mv /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/openssl /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/opensslbackup/
Copy the files under the xampp-opensslfix-osx folder you uncompressed in step 3 to your XAMPP installation sudo cp -rp /tmp/xampp-opensslfix-osx/lib/* /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib/ sudo cp -rp /tmp/xampp-opensslfix-osx/bin/openssl /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/
Start Apache sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/xampp startapache
Verify that the "SSL Version" has been updated to a safe one (at least 1.0.1g) using the phpinfo() information as explained in the previous section

Or using the below command:

sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/openssl version

It should now show a version higher to 1.0.1f:

OpenSSL 1.0.1g 7 Apr 2014

New Apache Friends Design

2014-01-16T01:00:00+01:00

We have been working hard to improve Apache Friends / XAMPP. Beginning late last year, we expanded support for newer versions of PHP, increased the frequency of releases, and brought Linux and OS X ports up-to-date. Today, more than 10 years since Apache Friends was launched, we're happy to unveil a new website design. When we looked at the page analytics, it was perfectly clear: people come to the site to download XAMPP and not much else.

The biggest goal for this design, then, was to make it easier and quicker to download the XAMPP package and narrow down the number of navigational choices. Over the years, the old Apache Friends site had accumulated dozens of extras — from sample sites using XAMPP to a user-submitted wallpaper gallery — almost all of which had little traffic and become dated with many broken links.

Last November, we announced that we were accepting submissions from the Apache Friends community for a new site design. We selected a design from Ed Stephens in the UK that features a clean, modern interface and more intuitive navigation. The updated Apache Friends site features updated content and streamlined navigation. It's also responsive now so it will display correctly in different devices and browsers. Lastly, we've also set up a new translation project so the community can translate the site for different languages.

There are additional updates in store, including expanded documentation, updated forum support, and more "getting started resources". We will get to them as time permits. If you have suggestions on things that you would like improved, or if you would like to contribute to the Apache Friends website, documentation, forums, etc., feel free to contact me directly at beltran (at) apachefriends (dot) org.

New XAMPP 1.8.2-3 and 1.8.3-2 versions

2013-12-04T01:00:00+01:00

We are happy to announce a new release of XAMPP for all supported platforms: OS X. This release ships new versions of the main components:

1.8.2-3 version (PHP 5.4 based)

Updated PHP to 5.4.22
Updated MySQL to 5.5.34
Updated Apache to 2.4.7
Updated phpMyAdmin to 4.0.9

1.8.3-2 version (PHP 5.5 based)

Updated PHP to 5.5.6
Updated MySQL to 5.6.14
Updated Apache to 2.4.7
Updated phpMyAdmin to 4.0.9
Fixed issue restarting MySQL database on Windows

We also expanded the number of BitNami-packaged applications compatible with XAMPP. In addition to the previous ones (such as WordPress, Drupal, Joomla! or Moodle) it now includes PrestaShop, TestLink, Osclass and Zurmo. You can download free, one-click installers at https://bitnami.com/stack/xampp We plan to continue to expand the number of supported apps.

Thanks to all users that posted issues in the forums. You can contribute to the Apache Friends project submitting your suggestions at https://community.apachefriends.org/f/

Enjoy!

Re-design the Apache Friends / XAMPP Website

2013-11-22T01:00:00+01:00

Hi everyone,

As you may remember, earlier in the year Bitnami started maintaining the XAMPP project. We have many ideas for improvement. We started with the software itself, expanding support for newer versions of PHP, more frequent releases and bringing up to date the Linux and OS X ports. We want now to improve the website, which has basically not changed since 2002! Our goal is to make the website design cleaner and easier to navigate, with responsive design to make it display correctly in different devices and browsers. Rather than come up with our own design, and given that our community is mainly web designers and developers, we thought that we should invite XAMPP users to propose their own designs We setup a 99designs contest online:

http://99designs.com/web-design/contests/re-design-apache-friends-xampp-website-reach-millions-267884

If you are a XAMPP user, please make sure to mention so when including your entry (i.e. you can include your forum username) so we will take those in special consideration. The contest is for two pages on the site, in order to find out a winning design. After that, we will contact the winner to talk about redesigning the whole site.

Other things that we want to continue to improve in the future are a bigger server, documentation, forum support and additional "getting started resources". We will get to them as time permits. If you have suggestions on things that you would like improved, feel free to contact me directly at beltran (at) apachefriends (dot) org

Best regards,

Beltran

BitNami & The Apache Friends Team

BitNami and Apache Friends join forces!

2013-03-22T01:00:00+01:00

We have been working on Apache Friends and XAMPP for over 10 years now. We still have a lot of ideas on how to continue to improve it, but as the project grows it has become harder to find the time and resources needed to implement a lot of them. We have joined forces with BitNami to continue to improve XAMPP. BitNami provides a free library of web applications that can be installed anywhere. They are big open source supporters, have a lot of experience packaging Apache and we believe they will do a great job of improving BitNami moving forward. Please see below for some words from BitNami co-founder Daniel Lopez

[quote:1lv2c945]Dear XAMPP users,

At BitNami, we have been great admirers of XAMPP and what it has accomplished: making it easier for programmers everywhere to quickly setup and run their own local web development environments. We had a similar goal of making web apps easier to install anywhere, whether in your laptop or in the cloud. When Kay and Kai suggested a few months ago the possibility of joining forces with them to take over maintenance of XAMPP, it was an easy decision for us. Over the next weeks and months we will be working to continue to improve XAMPP. A big chunk of our expertise is in crossplatform installation and apps. Among other things we plan to:

Improve the existing installers
Improve the bundled Control Panel
Make it easy to install and develop with Drupal, Joomla!, WordPress, etc. on XAMPP
Improve 64bit support, PostgreSQL, additional languages (i.e. Python)
Improved Linux and OS X support
Improve the website look and feel

As a first step, we have made BitNami for XAMPP, a one-click installer that will allow you to install Drupal, Joomla! and WordPress on top of your existing XAMPP installation.

http://bitnami.org/xampp

As newcomers, we are looking to the XAMPP community to help us with the transition by providing us with feedback and ideas on how to continue to improve XAMPP. Please use the XAMPP forums or feel free to email me directly at daniel@bitnami.org with any suggestions or comments.

New XAMPP 1.8.1 for Windows and Linux

2012-09-30T02:00:00+02:00

What's the best thing to do on a Sunday night? Correct, get a new XAMPP version out to the Internet. Of course, what else? And here it is again, an updated XAMPP.

The most important updates are: Apache 2.4.3, MySQL 5.5.27, PHP 5.4.7, and phpMyAdmin 3.5.2.2.

Yes, last Friday Oracle released a new MySQL 5.5.28. This version is not part of XAMPP. The time was to short to include this also in this release.

Again, we're not able to get also the Mac OS X version updated. Time is the problem. Is there anyone out there with good knowledge about GCC and AMP on Mac OS X?

Get the downloads and more details on the platform specific XAMPP project page.

Results of the XAMPP 2012 survey

2012-09-24T02:00:00+02:00

The XAMPP 2012 survey is now over. Thank you to all who participated and helped us to get answers to our questions. Exactly 2674 individuals participated in the survey and responded with 97938 single answers in total.

It will take some time for us to go through the results, but if you're curious about the raw results, please feel free to look at the linked PDF. Thank you all again and hopefully you’ll find this data as interesting as we do.

Apache Friends XAMPP 2012 Survey

2012-08-20T02:00:00+02:00

Last May XAMPP became 10 years old and we think this is a good time to think again about changes and improvements to XAMPP. That's what this survey is for: to find out what are your needs and what we can do to improve XAMPP in future releases.

The survey will run for about one month (until end of September), after which we will publish the results right here.

Thank you for taking the time to complete the survey. We appreciate your feedback and we will use it to make XAMPP even more useful and enjoyable.

New XAMPP 1.8.0 for Linux and Windows

2012-07-13T02:00:00+02:00

After several months of hard work we are proud to announce a new release of XAMPP for Windows and Linux.

The most important updates are: Apache 2.4.2, MySQL 5.5.25a, PHP 5.4.4, and phpMyAdmin 3.5.1.

After this release we will focus again on the Mac OS X version of XAMPP. Sorry, for the delay, we're simply short on man power.

Get the downloads and more details on the platform specific XAMPP project page.

The new XAMPP 1.7.7 for Windows, Linux, and Solaris is out!

2011-09-20T02:00:00+02:00

It took nearly eight months to get this new version of XAMPP released. A long time, but somehow this year it was harder than usual. Alone in the last four weeks, there were two new versions of Apache, two new versions of PHP and even two new versions of MySQL.

But let's get to the point: What's new in this version?

This time we updated Apache to 2.2.21, MySQL to 5.5.16, PHP to 5.3.8, and phpMyAdmin to 3.4.5, as well as the usual minor updates of libraries or system-specific components.

Also new: There's now a Solaris version for x86 processors and both Solaris versions now support the PHP Oracle extension out-of-the-box, i.e. there is no installation of additional libraries needed to access an Oracle database.

All downloads and further details about the new versions are available at the respective XAMPP project page.

PS: Congratulations to the Berlin Pirates! ;)

Finally New XAMPP 1.7.4 for Windows, Linux and Solaris

2011-01-26T01:00:00+01:00

Here they are at last: new versions for Windows, Linux and Solaris.

The good news: The Solaris version has left beta status and is for the first time available as a full XAMPP version (currently only for SPARC, but we'll present a first x86 version at CeBIT next month). The bad news: There is no updated version for Mac OS X yet and for Windows, there will be no automated update from 1.7.3 to 1.7.4. We're very sorry about this.

In all three versions we updated: Apache to 2.2.17, MySQL to 5.5.8, PHP to 5.3.5 and phpMyAdmin to 3.3.9, as well as minor updates in the libraries or system-specific components.

Get the downloads and further details about the new versions on the specific platforms XAMPP project page.

Final version of XAMPP for Mac OS X 1.7.3 released

2010-03-04T01:00:00+01:00

This time it took us a little longer, but now the waiting has come to an end: Yesterday, we released the a new (so called) final version of XAMPP for Mac OS X.

Updated in this version of XAMPP: MySQL (5.1.44), PHP (5.3.1), phpMyAdmin (3.2.4), Apache (2.2.14), Perl (5.10.1), and ProFTPD (1.3.3).

You find the download at XAMPP's Mac OS X page.

Bug fix release XAMPP for Linux 1.7.3a

2010-01-10T01:00:00+01:00

Small bug with big consequences: The backup function in version 1.7.3 was broken and that's now fixed in 1.7.3a. Sorry for the inconvenience! No other changes were made.

You can download the new version from our XAMPP for Linux page.

Merry Christmas with a new XAMPP

2009-12-24T01:00:00+01:00

Merry Christmas and a very happy new year to all of you.

We're proud to announce two new XAMPP versions for Windows and Linux today. In both versions we updated Apache to 2.2.14, MySQL to 5.1.41, PHP to 5.3.1, Perl to 5.10.1, phpMyAdmin to 3.2.4, and OpenSSL to 0.9.8l. An updated version for Mac OS X will follow soon, but currently the Apache refuses to perform his Xmas duty on a Mac.

Both downloads and more details on the specific platform's XAMPP project page.

XAMPP for Mac OS X 1.7.2a released

2009-08-20T02:00:00+02:00

Just want to point you at a new bug-fix release of XAMPP for Mac OS X. This version fixes control panel issues with Mac PowerPC computers.

Get the new version at http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-macosx.html

New XAMPP 1.7.2 for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux

2009-08-11T02:00:00+02:00

I'm proud to announce two big news today: First, the new XAMPP with PHP 5.3.0 is finally released and allows everyone the experience of this new PHP version, and secondly, congratulations and many thanks to Carsten Wiedmann, who took over the responsibility for the Windows version. Carsten was able to simplify the Windows version by replacing the installer by a self-extracting archive without losing the ease-of-use of XAMPP.

In all versions we updated Apache (2.2.12), MySQL (5.1.37), PHP (5.3.0), phpMyAdmin (3.2.0.1), plus minor updates of some libraries and tools.

Get the downloads and more details on the specific platforms XAMPP project page.

Evaluation of the survey on XAMPP's user interface usability

2009-05-04T02:00:00+02:00

We present our results to all of those who took part in this survey in the summer of 2008 and to all others interested. We outline your impressions, ideas, comments and suggestions for the XAMPP user interface.

Thank you again for your time and participation and your dedicated responses.

New XAMPP version for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X

2009-04-15T02:00:00+02:00

Life is no Ponyhof (a modern German saying): With an unusually long and arduous 8-week beta phase, we have finally managed to release and announce a new "final" XAMPP version.

In this version of XAMPP we mainly updated: MySQL (5.1.33), PHP (5.2.9), and phpMyAdmin (3.1.3.1). The Linux and Mac OS X versions also contain updated versions of ProFTPD (1.3.2) and the Windows version updated FileZilla FTP Server to 0.9.31. And finally for all the early adopters we added current versions of the MySQL storage engines PBXT and PBMS to the Linux version of XAMPP.

As of today the Mac OS X version ends it beta status and enters the regular XAMPP release cycle. Thanks to Christian 'kleinweby' Speich for this great achievement and his work of the last months.

The downloads and more accurate details about the new versions are available at the respective XAMPP project page.

New XAMPP for Windows and Linux

2008-12-23T01:00:00+01:00

Just in time for Christmas: After the usual 2-week beta test phase, we can now announce the new "final" XAMPP version for public downloading.

In both versions we updated Apache (2.2.11), MySQL (5.1.30), PHP (5.2.8) and phpMyAdmin (3.1.1). The Linux version also contains the new MySQL storage engine PBXT (1.0.07-rc).

With this version our support of PHP 4 ends and from this version on PHP 4 is no longer shipped with XAMPP. After PHP 4 was officially no longer supported since the end of 2007 this was just a matter of time.

On the other hand XAMPP now supports the brand-new MySQL 5.1 database generation. If you're upgrading from MySQL 5.0 please take a look at MySQL's official "Oops, we did it again".

Updated versions for Mac OS X and Solaris will follow shortly.

Get the downloads and more details on the specific platforms XAMPP project page.

Oh, and yes: Wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2009! :)

New XAMPP version for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and Solaris

2008-09-30T02:00:00+02:00

The summer is over, but as a small consolation there is a new version of XAMPP. And this time, we were able to update all existing four XAMPP versions.

In this version we updated: MySQL (5.0.67), PHP (4.4.9), and phpMyAdmin (2.11.9.2). The Solaris version even got a total of 14 packages updated.

Get the downloads and more details on the specific platforms XAMPP project page.

New betas of XAMPP for Linux and Windows

2008-08-21T02:00:00+02:00

It may be tested again! Reason for the new version are two new releases of the main components of XAMPP: PHP and MySQL.

New in both XAMPP versions: MySQL (5.0.67), PHP (4.4.9), and phpMyAdmin (2.11.8.1). .

Go to XAMPP BETA download area

XAMPP BETA versions are always for testing purposes only. There will be no upgrade packages from and to beta versions. To all testers: Many thanks in advance!!

XAMPP Usability Survey 2008

2008-07-24T02:00:00+02:00

We are planning to redesign the demo pages for one of the next releases of XAMPP. Our demo pages are six years old by now and are screaming for an update.

To make sure that we are not just following our personal preferences, we are now looking for volunteers for our usability survey.

Thank you for taking part and special thanks to Karin Kunkel, Sonja Uhl and Constanze Weiland, who are carrying out this survey for us.

New XAMPP version for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X

Security vulnerability in XAMPP for Windows

2007-04-27T02:00:00+02:00

Today someone sent me an exploit for the Windows version of XAMPP: Using our xampp/adodb.php and a buffer overflow vulnerability in mssql_connect() the exploit is able to call arbitrary(!) commands on the targeted system.

If you secured your system as described in our manual, you're a lucky guy and your system is not affected by this vulnerability. If you haven't secured your system, please do it right now!!!

Possible privilege escalations in XAMPP for Windows

2006-05-09T02:00:00+02:00

Thierry Zoller informed us about four possible privilege escalations in XAMPP for Windows. Thierry, thank you very much for notifying us of this problem.

The problem occurs if the installation path of XAMPP for Windows contains a blank character (like in [b:jmamqbgm]C:\Program files\XAMPP[/b:jmamqbgm]) and you're creating a file named [b:jmamqbgm]C:\Program.exe[/b:jmamqbgm]. In this case you will be able (for example) to catch the starting FileZilla service and start your own program ([b:jmamqbgm]C:\Program.exe[/b:jmamqbgm]) as a service.

To exploit this vulnerability an attacker already needs full access to your C:\ directory to create the needed C:\Program.exe file.

Thierry found three other scenarios within this bug will appear. To find out more details about this problem please take a look into Thierry's Blog.

[b:jmamqbgm]Update May 9th 2006[/b:jmamqbgm] The current Windows beta fixes two of the problems based on this bug. We expect the next beta soon which will fix all four problems.

[b:jmamqbgm]Update May 10th 2006[/b:jmamqbgm] The new Windows beta now fixes all problems.

New XAMPP for Windows, Linux, and Solaris with Apache 2.2

2006-01-08T01:00:00+01:00

This time, it really took us ages to get our newest XAMPP version out. Although we started up with BETA testing in November, new releases of MySQL, PHP, Apache, and phpMyAdmin kept drawing the phase out. But we did it and can now present you with a brand new XAMPP release.

New in this version of XAMPP: Apache (2.2.0), MySQL (5.0.18), PHP (5.1.1) and phpMyAdmin (2.7.0-pl1).

Last time, we didn't offer an update package, and there won't be any this time, either. It isn't really possible to automate an upgrade from Apache 2.0 to Apache 2.2, and we'd like to avoid anyone messing up their server. So if you'd like to update to the new Apache version, you'll need to install a new version of XAMPP and migrate your data manually.

New XAMPP with PHP 5 und 4.3.8

2004-07-16T02:00:00+02:00

Tuesdays was a big day in the history of PHP: The final release of PHP 5.0.0 was made public by the PHP development team. At the same time the development team also published a new version of the now "old" branch of PHP: 4.3.8. This version fixes several security issues of 4.3.7. All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to PHP 4.3.8 as soon as possible.

So again we needed to build a new XAMPP release. But because such very new versions like PHP 5 always should be handled with care we decided to include both new versions into XAMPP: PHP 5.0.0 and PHP 4.3.8. If you find out your PHP application doesn't work with PHP 5 you will be able to switch back easily to PHP 4.

Have fun with PHP 5 and XAMPP for Linux.

New Linux and Windows version of XAMPP

2004-07-05T02:00:00+02:00

Last week the Apache Group released a new version of Apache (2.0.50) to fix two important bug fixes.

Because of the importance of the bugs we think it's useful to release also up-to-date versions of XAMPP containing the new Apache release:

Please download fresh versions of XAMPP for Linux.

DoS vulnerability in Apache 2.0.49 (Fix for XAMPP for Linux)

2004-06-29T02:00:00+02:00

Last night (European time) a denial-of-service vulnerability in Apache 2.0.49 was found. To fix this problem we released an upgrade package for the Linux version of XAMPP.

This upgrade is only of interest for those people who a using XAMPP in a public environment. Like Internet.

People who only using XAMPP at home don't need to upgrade.

You can get the patch from the here

Also new: A simple backup mechanism by using "backup" as parameter for the XAMPP start script. Find more in our XAMPP for Linux FAQ.

New version of XAMPP for Linux (1.4)

2003-11-03T01:00:00+01:00

And again it's time for a new XAMPP release. This release contains up-to-date versions of Apache, MySQL, ProFTPD and phpMyAdmin.

It also contains many new features for PHP: Turck MMCache accelerator, SQLite, mcrypt, mhash, sockets and multibyte (mbstring) suppor for Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean and Russian.

New version of XAMPP for Linux (1.3)

2003-10-03T02:00:00+02:00

After two big security bugs in ProFTPD and OpenSSL and one small in MySQL it's again time for a new version of XAMPP.

This version contains new or pachted versions of ProFTPD, MySQL and OpenSSL. Also new in this version: Net_SSLeay for Perl SSL support (for example for Webmin) and the OpenLDAP client library for LDAP support within PHP.

New version of XAMPP for Linux (1.2)

2003-08-27T02:00:00+02:00

New in this version of XAMPP for Linux: PHP 4.3.3, MySQL 4.0.14 and phpMyAdmin 2.5.2pl1. The new versions of PHP, MySQL and phpMyAdmin are mostly bug-fixing versions and do not contribute new features.

New version of LAMPP (1.1)

2003-07-11T02:00:00+02:00

After the release of a new Apache it takes some hours or days and a new release of LAMPP follows. LAMPP 1.1 now contains the new version of Apache (2.0.47) and up-to-date versions of pdf class (009e) and phpMyAdmin (2.5.1). The included PHP now also supports Interbase databases.

New version of LAMPP (1.0)

2003-06-01T02:00:00+02:00

This month LAMPP got 1 year old and after getting up to version 0.9.9a I think this is a good time to release the 1.0 version.

Fresh and new in this version of LAMPP: Apache (2.0.46), PHP (4.3.2), MySQL (4.0.13), ProFTPD (1.2.8) und phpMyAdmin (2.5.0).

Notice: In this version of LAMPP I compiled PHP with internal MySQL support and not by linking to MySQL 4.0.13 own client library. The combination PHP 4.3.2 and MySQL 4.0.13 seems to be not stable. You can crash the Apache by clicking on any "BROWSE" button in phpMyAdmin. The internal PHP MySQL support doesn't seems to have this bug and works - as far as I can see - stable.

Bugfix for LAMPP 0.9.9

2003-03-26T01:00:00+01:00

Fixed a simple and rare occuring bug which deletes the fresh installed httpd.conf under special circumstances when installing LAMPP 0.9.9 the very first time. If you've 0.9.9 already running you don't need to upgrade. It's only a bug in the installation process.

Some minutes ago I released the fixed version 0.9.9a.

New LAMPP with MySQL 4.0.12

2003-03-23T01:00:00+01:00

Last week the MySQL development team released the first production version of MySQL 4. Today I build a new version of LAMPP (0.9.9) containing MySQL 4.0.12.

New version of LAMPP (0.9.8)

2003-03-07T01:00:00+01:00

Again a new version of LAMPP. LAMPP now includes FreeTDS to make MS SQL servers accessable via PHP. Also new in this version: GNU gettext and IMAP support for PHP, an up-to-date version of PHP (4.3.1), a new version of OpenSSL (0.9.7) and Perl is now included as Apache module (mod_perl 1.99_08).
