Re: [Koha] e signature & Koha

Hi Erlanda, I'm curious how you've been trying to "insert" e-signatures produced by the WACOM device. Out of the box, I don't think there's a way to arbitrarily attach files/PDFs to user accounts. A couple years ago someone raised an enhancement request https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=33985 but it hasn't progressed. There's privacy/security issues that come from capturing and storing signatures. But you could potentially pay someone to develop a Koha plugin to do this job.

All our attempts to "insert" e-signature produced by WACOM directly into Koha failed! Can anybody advice us is it possible to connect such devices directly with Koha? Thanks, Erlanda

"rabbitmq-server" post-installation script
by aram.mirzoyan＠asnet.am 03 May '25

03 May '25

Dear list members, Due to a discrepancy in the size of the actual space used (the database contains just over half a million records and the database dump is approximately 4GB) compared to the expected size, an attempt was made to find out exactly where the additional 350GB was located. To assist in this process, it was decided to use the "ncdu" program. However, when the "sudo apt install ncdu" command was executed, there was an unforeseen problem with the execution of the "rabbitmq-server" post-installation script, and it switched from "started" to "starting" mode (output is in the attachment). Could you please explain the reason for this problem and provide instructions on how to fix it? Thank you in advance. Sincerely, Aram

Re: [Koha] Koha Digest, Vol 234, Issue 17

Hi Justin, Always good to see another Australian using Koha! I think you're right. I don't think this is relevant for RabbitMQ. That said, it looks like Ubuntu pushed out a security release for RabbitMQ on 27 March 2025 for a different CVE. If you're using Debian/Ubuntu and have unattended upgrades on or frequently update your server, then you'll generally be fine.

Message-ID: <CAGzh+UNnq-_Bs3r=5F=HjbcjtATTY2=+rcFywMxU9zhau-6J1Q(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Hey everyone, Been flagged by my VPS provider that our Koha instance may be affected by this vulnerability. It seems rabbitmq-server has some OTP dependencies, though not the erlang-ssh package. Here is the official advisory: https://github.com/erlang/otp/security/advisories/GHSA-37cp-fgq5-7wc2 On my koha instance these erlang packages are installed: erlang-asn1 erlang-base erlang-crypto erlang-eldap erlang-ftp erlang-inets erlang-mnesia erlang-os-mon erlang-parsetools erlang-public-key erlang-runtime-tools erlang-snmp erlang-ssl erlang-syntax-tools erlang-tftp erlang-tools erlang-xmerl So to me it looks like this flag is a false positive, but thought best to reach out here. Thanks in advance, Justin Dowswell (he/him) Technology Coordinator Tenants' Union of NSW 02 8117 3721
