PackageCloud Signing Key Migration
16 October 2018
PackageCloud is one of the services used by the RabbitMQ team to distribute packages. The service signs all packages uploaded to it with their own signing key. Recently PackageCloud started migrating to per-repository signing keys instead of a single master key.
On December 1st, 2018 (GMT) all repositories under the RabbitMQ account on PackageCloud will be switched to use the new signing keys. RabbitMQ users who install packages from PackageCloud must import the new signing keys before the migration. The recommended way of doing that is by re-running PackageCloud setup scripts (RabbitMQ, Erlang). Signing keys can be downloaded and imported directly as well (RabbitMQ, Erlang). If the new keys are not imported, package installation will start failing with a signature verification error.
Services and tools that do not use PackageCloud (and thus rely on RabbitMQ's own release signing key for signing) are not affected by this transition.
As always, we welcome any questions, bug reports, and other feedback on this release, as well as general suggestions for features and enhancements in future releases. Contact us via the rabbitmq-users Google group.

New OpenPGP keys25 May 2016
We are replacing our old OpenPGP keys we use to sign releases and nightlies with new stronger keys. The old keys were still DSA-1024 keys. The new ones are RSA-4096 keys. They are already available at the following locations:
Release signing key
Nightly signing key
You will find below the transition statement for each replaced keys. They are each signed with the appropriate old key and their corresponding new key. There are links so you can easily download the transition statements and verify them.
For Deb and RPM packages users, we recommend you import the new keys as soon as possible, so the switch from the old to the new key is smooth. See the documentation for Deb packages and for RPM packages for instructions to import it.

Security issues in RabbitMQ management plugin (3.4.2 or lower) [CVE-2015-0862]
8 January 2015
Several security issues were found in the RabbitMQ management plugin. All versions of RabbitMQ up-to 3.4.2 included are affected. All issues are fixed in RabbitMQ 3.4.3.
The management plugin is a web interface which allows users to monitor the activity of a RabbitMQ cluster and perform administration tasks such as (but not limited to):
adding, modifying or removing users;
manage virtual hosts;
manage resources (exchanges and queues);
consume queued messages.
Some user-controllable content was not properly HTML-escaped before being presented to a user in the management web UI:
When a user unqueued a message from the management UI, message details (header names, arguments, etc.) were displayed unescaped. An attacker could publish a specially crafted message to add content or execute arbitrary Javascript code on behalf of a user, if this user unqueued the message from the management UI.
When viewing policies, their name was displayed unescaped. An attacker could create a policy with a specially crafted name to add content or execute arbitrary Javascript code on behalf of a user who is viewing policies.
When listing connected AMQP network clients, client details such as its version were displayed unescaped. An attacker could use a client with a specially crafted version field to add content or execute arbitrary Javascript code on behalf of a user who is viewing connected clients.
In all cases, the attacker needs a valid user account on the targetted RabbitMQ cluster.
Furthermore, some admin-controllable content was not properly escaped:
user names;
the cluster name.
Likewise, an attacker could add content or execute arbitrary Javascript code on behalf of a user using the management web UI. However, the attacker must be an administrator on the RabbitMQ cluster, thus a trusted user.
No workaround is available, but RabbitMQ clusters with the management plugin disabled on all nodes are not affected.
We strongly encourage you to upgrade to RabbitMQ 3.4.3.

Proudly part of Pivotal14 May 2013
RabbitMQ v3.1.0 is significant because it introduces an important set of new features, making Rabbit easier to use and manage.
Eager synchronisation of mirror queue mirrors
Automatic cluster partition healing
Improved statistics
V3.1.0 has significance for another reason: it is the first release made under the banner of our new sponsor company, Pivotal. Pivotal launched earlier this year as a joint venture between VMware, EMC and with a strategic partnership with General Electric Global Software. Billed as "A New Platform for a New Era", the Pivotal platform will unite data, application, and cloud fabrics. The Rabbit team members are excited to be part of this bold new initiative driving open source innovation and collaboration.
RabbitMQ will continue to be available under the open source Mozilla Public License or commercial terms. Commercial support, consulting and both self-paced and instructor-led training courses are still available worldwide. The rabbitmq-discuss mailing list will continue to be the primary channel of communication about open-source RabbitMQ. The release cycle is not expected to change as a result of the change of ownership.
We invite all customers to continue with us on the journey to become the most reliable, scalable and portable messaging system.
