Version 2.9 is now available and includes important fixes to address cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. All users of DirList are advised to upgrade their servers to this latest version.
2004-05-28: DirList Server 2.8
Version 2.8 is out after a long security audit and now uses stronger safe-string functions when platform support exists at compile-time. No remote buffer overflows were found, though an issue with use of excessive CPU and memory resources through a high number of searches in a single query was uncovered and addressed. As an extra feature, index files created on one CPU endian type can now be read directly on a different CPU endian computer. 64-bit CPUs are now supported, too. Please see the change log for more details.
High-Level Deployment Architecture
- DirList implements a client-server architecture with the server running on demand with each request via the common gateway interface (CGI)
- Clients, such as DirList2ODBC, speak with the DirList Server through a web server using regular HTTP GET and POST messages
- Web browsers see a read-only searchable view of the directory
Open-Source License
- The DirList Project is proud to be covered by the GNU General Public License, version 2
