  • A few small UI improvements

New in Seafile 4.3.0 (Sep 19, 2015)

  • Security fix:
  • Regenerate Seahub secret key:
  • Regenerate Seahub secret key. The old secret key lack enough randomness (A string generated from random number between 1 to 100,000). The secret key is used in generating password reset link. The random string in password reset link is hash value from a user's ID, last login time (in seconds) and Seahub secret key.
  • Attack:
  • An attacker can generate a valid password reset link using brute force way. (For users stored in LDAP/AD, the password reset link has no effect)
  • Fixes:
  • In community edition v4.2.3 and pro edition v4.2.1, the algorithm for generating password reset link is changed to include the hash value of the old password, avoiding the attack.
  • In v4.3.0, the upgrade script will regenerate a strong secret key.
  • For those who don't want to upgrade to v4.3.0, you can also download the script from https://github.com/haiwen/seahub/blob/c90394bb084addfaad4d28647db05a2f5f6c063f/tools/secret_key_generator.py. Run this python script and use the generated string to replace the old string in seahub_settings.py
  • Remove ".seaf" format
  • The .seaf file format is removed because it is seldom used and is vulnerable to XSS attach.
  • Improve desktop client syncing performance
  • In old version, the performance is limited by the following factors:
  • The whole folder is scanned to generate the modification message
  • No multi-threads uploading/downloading (This limits transfer speed for lots of small files)
  • By redesign how the modification messages are generated and adding multi-threads support, the syncing performance is improved significantly.
  • Improve the web interface
  • The old private share in the sharing dialog is divided into two sub tabs, share to user and share to group. In the dialog, you can check existing shares, add a new share and remove an shares.
