diaspora* security release 0.7.18.2!

We just released a new diaspora* version, which addresses possible security issues when processing images uploaded by users that is affecting some system configurations.

This fix was heavily inspired by Mastodon's fix for GHSA-9928-3cp5-93fm, and while diaspora*s attack surface is significantly smaller and some operating systems do ship a restrictive ImageMagick policy, this release makes sure that everyone is safe.

Thank you Cure53 for finding this issue, thank you Mozilla for paying Cure53 to look into it, and thanks for Mastodon for fixing it.

Updating

For podmins, update instructions are available as usual in the wiki. As that this update includes security fixes, please update as soon as possible.

If you are a user not running your own pod, there is nothing you need to do!

Mel Gibson Calls for Release of American ‘Man of Great Faith’ Mark Swidan, Jailed in China for a Decade

Actor and Oscar-winning director Mel Gibson is raising awareness of American citizen Mark Swidan’s plight — as he has been imprisoned in China since 2012 and placed on death row for a drug charge that was clearly never proven by the Communist country’s prosecutors.

“Mark Swidan has been wrongfully and unlawfully imprisoned by the Chinese for almost 11 years,” the Passion of the Christ director told News Nation last week.

“He faces a death sentence. He’s a man of great faith, an American patriot, and he refuses during his captivity to renounce either his faith or his country,” Gibson added.

The Patriot star urged Americans to speak out and contact their representatives in Washington to advocate for the federal government to call for Swidan’s release.

“Let us pray that indeed he remained faithful to Christ and that he’d be repatriated very soon and delivered from his unjust captivity,” he said.

The U.S. State Department has ruled that Swidan has been “wrongfully detained” and says it will “continue to press for his immediate release.” The U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution calling for the Texas man’s release this week. The United Nations has also determined that Swidan was arrested and prosecuted in violation of international law

While successive #US administrations and their intelligence agencies have threatened #Assange financially, physically and legally over the past 13 years, nine #LatinAmerican-heads-of-state are demanding his #release. They include #XiomaraCastro-Honduras, #AndrésManuelLópezObrador-Mexico, #DanielOrtega-Nicaragua, #MiguelDíaz-Canel-Cuba, #NicolásMaduro-Venezuela, #GustavoPetro-Colombia, #LuisArce-Bolivia, #AlbertoFernández-Argentina and #LuizInácioLuladaSilva-Brazil. #Lula has even suggested that Assange should be awarded the #NobelPeacePrize for having ‘shed light on the shady dealings of the #CIA,' while Mexico’s #Obrador has offered Assange #asylum and #protection.
