Hi all;

It has been brought to our attention that a number of security vulnerabilities have been noted in SQL-Ledger. Several of these affect earlier versions of LedgerSMB, and three hotfixes have been released for problems that continue to affect the LedgerSMB codebase.

As always, we highly recommend testing all hotfixes before applying them to a production environment.

The CVE's mentioned here are the ones attached to SQL-Ledger. Subtle differences as to how these affect LedgerSMB are noted below.

These vulnerabilities include:

After a lot of hard work, LedgerSMB 1.3.0 is ready for beta testing. Please be aware that this is a beta-testing release and there may be unexpected bugs in places. Some things may not work as advertised. It can be downloaded from the sourceforge page (http://www.sourceforge.org/projects/ledger-smb/).

We have been working long and hard on 1.3 for some time, so it is time we show some screenshots showing how things will be different. I have chosen three screen shots to highlight our new approach:

1) Bank Reconciliation has been entirely redesigned in 1.3 with a new workflow and it is better designed to handle large numbers of transactions. Additionally you can go back later and review a reconciliation set to see what cleared and what was outstanding. This screen shot shows a report for a work in progress.

2) The contact management section is redone. Customers/vendors can now have multiple accounts, contact information, shipping and billing info, notes, etc. This screen shot shows how this looks with Javascript enabled. Here Javascript is used to clean up the interface, and the links at the top switch between visible divs.

3) The contact management screen also functions without Javascript. Here the links on the top are internal hyperlinks to the relevant container divs for the sections of the screen.

Ledger123.com has released a FreeBSD VMWare image with LedgerSMB 1.2.13 pre-installed.

It is available at their web site..

The LedgerSMB Core Team is proud to announce the release of version 1.2.16, which corrects one issue with price matrix error handling introduced in 1.2.15 and also issues with running LedgerSMB on Perl 5.10.0. It is recommended that all users upgrade, but those using versions before 1.2.15 along with price matrix logic should put the application through some light testing before putting it into production.

I found LedgerSMB after my search for an Open Source accounting package. But truthfully, I am completely puzzled by the installation process of LedgerSMB. I've searched and searched only find instructions that were line after line of command line instructions (none of which were familiar). However, in defense of what I found, they were written back in Nov 2007.

Here are just a couple of the examples that I found:

The LedgerSMB Team is proud to release version 1.2.15. This version
corrects a number of important bugs including two critical security
issues. We will be releasing a separate security advisory within a
week.

Additionally, several broken areas of the pricematrix logic were
corrected. Businesses using this portion of the software should spot
check results before putting this release into production.

The LedgerSMB team is pleased to announce the release of LedgerSMB 1.2.14 which is available from the SourceForge download page.

This release corrects a number of minor bugs including those relating to reporting, LaTeX templates, and the like.
