Users of prior releases of GeoServer areencouraged to upgrade.This release is made in conjunction with GeoTools 20.2 and GeoWebCache1.14.2. Thanks to all who contributed to this release.For more information please see our release notes (2.14.2 2.14.1 and FixesThis release includes a number of new features and improvements: - gs:DownloadEstimator (almost always) returns true when estimating full raster downloads at native resolution - Cannot create jp2k coverage through rest (IndexOutOfBounds) - KML ignores sortBy parameter when querying records - NullPointerException when using env() function with LIKE operator in CSS filters - Can't modify existing GWC blobstore via UI without renaming - NPE if a Jiffle Rendering Transformation is used with Channel Selection - OpenLayers2 preview does not trigger automatically on IE8 - Bad rendering with JAI-EXT and Input/Output TransparentColor options - Complex MongoDB generated properties are not correctly handlded in SLDs - Move the GeoServer ENV Parametrization documentation

Version assigned to geotools, geowebcache, and geoserver (instead of -SNAPSHOT), use the build/versions.xml ant script to set a custom version. For example, to build server 4.9-beta1: % ant -f build/versions.xml set-versions -Dserver.minor_version=-beta1 % ant all -Dserver.minor_version=-beta1To undo this action and reset te versions back to -SNAPSHOT: % git reset --hard HEAD % git submodule foreach --recursive git reset --hardCustom-building a GeoServer extension for SupportOccasionally, we will have to build (or re-build) an extension or jar after a server release has gone out.I will be using Server 4.9.1 as the server version for the purposes of this example.Checkout the correct server branch and update submodules: % git checkout r4.9.1 % git submodule update --init --recursiveSet the server version for the geoserver artifacts: % ant -f build/versions.xml set-versions -Dserver.minor_version=-server-4.9.1If you are building an extension that does not normally ship with server, modify build/build.properties and add that module to gs.exts_core or gs.exts_comm (depending upon whether or not it is a community module).Change to the geoserver directory and run a build. % cd geoserver % ant clean build assemble -Dserver.minor_version=-server-4.9.1The geoserver artifacts will be in geoserver/geoserver/src/target/release. The server war will be in webapp/target.ModulesThe server repository is composed of the following modules:composerdashboarddocsgeoservergeowebcachewpsbuilderConsult the module README files for module specific information.

The global level or at the module level. The global local.properties is located in the build directory next tobuild.properties. Module specific local.properties files are located next to the module build.xml file. Naturally the module specific local properties file overrides properties from its global counterpart.Using any combination of the above method it should never be necessary to modify the build.properties file directly.The build.properties file should be modified when development begins on a new suite version, in order to update the appropriate version numbers and geosserver extensions.Versioned buildTo build suite with a specific minor version assigned to geotools, geowebcache, and geoserver (instead of -SNAPSHOT), use the build/versions.xml ant script to set a custom version.

GeoServer 2, in some configurations, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime().exec in wps:LiteralData within a wps:Execute request, as exploited in the wild in June 2023.RCE in JiffleThe Jiffle map algebra language, provided by jai-ext, allows efficiently execute map algebra over large images. A vulnerability CVE-2022-24816 has been recently found in Jiffle, that allows a Code Injection to be performed by properly crafting a Jiffle invocation.In the case of GeoServer, the injection can be performed from a remote request.AssessmentGeoTools includes the Jiffle language as part of the gt-process-raster- module, applications using it should check whether it’s possible to provide a Jiffle script from remote, and if so, upgrade or remove the functionality (see also the GeoServer mitigation, below).The issue is of particular interest for GeoServer users, as GeoServer embeds Jiffle in the base WAR package. Jiffle is available as a OGC function, for usage in SLD rendering transformations.This allows for a Remote Code Execution in properly crafted OGC requests, as well as from the administration console, when editing SLD files.MitigationsIn case you cannot upgrade at once, then the following mitigation is strongly recommended:Stop GeoServerOpen the war file, get into WEB-INF/lib and remove the janino-.jarRestart GeoServer.This effectively removes the Jiffle ability to compile scripts in Java code, from any of the potential attack vectors (Janino is the library used to turn the Java code generated from the Jiffle script, into executable bytecode).GeoServer should still work properly after the removal, but any attempt to use Jiffle will result in an exception.References
