Security update for keepass


Type: security
Severity: important
Issued: 2023-06-27
Description:
This update for keepass fixes the following issues:

Update to 2.54

  * Security:

    + Improved process memory protection of secure edit controls (CVE-2023-32784, boo#1211397).

  * New Features:

    + Triggers, global URL overrides, password generator profiles and a few more settings are now stored in the enforced configuration file.
    + Added dialog 'Enforce Options (All Users)' (menu 'Tools' → 'Advanced Tools' → 'Enforce Options'), which facilitates storing certain options in the enforced configuration file.
    + In report dialogs, passwords (and other sensitive data) are now hidden using asterisks by default (if hiding is activated in the main window); the hiding can be toggled using the new '***' button in the toolbar.
    + The 'Print' command in most report dialogs now requires the 'Print' application policy flag, and the master key must be entered if the 'Print - No Key Repeat' application policy flag is deactivated.
    + The 'Export' command in most report dialogs now requires the 'Export' application policy flag, and the master key must be entered.
    + Single line edit dialogs now support hiding the value using asterisks.
    + Commands that require elevation now have a shield icon like on Windows.
    + TrlUtil: added 'Move Selected Unused Text to Dialog Control' command.
  * Improvements:
    * The content mode of the configuration elements '/Configuration/Application/TriggerSystem', '/Configuration/Integration/UrlSchemeOverrides' and '/Configuration/PasswordGenerator/UserProfiles' is now 'Replace' by default.
    * The built-in override for the 'ssh' URI scheme is now deactivated by default (it can be activated in the 'URL Overrides' dialog).
    * When opening the password generator dialog without a derived profile, the '(Automatically generated passwords for new entries)' profile is now selected by default, if profiles are enabled (otherwise the default profile is used).
    * The clipboard workarounds are now disabled by default (they are not needed anymore on most systems).
    * Improved clipboard clearing.
    * Improved starting of an elevated process.

  * Bugfixes:

    + In report dialogs, the 'Print' and 'Export' commands now always use the actual data (in previous versions, asterisks were printed/exported when the application policy flag 'Unhide Passwords' was turned off).

- Update to 2.53.1

  * When testing a KDF ('Test' button in the database settings dialog), KeePass now spawns a child process that performs the KDF computation (which allows to cancel the test more cleanly in the case of excessive parameters; security is unaffected, because dummy data is used for the test).
  * Removed the 'Export - No Key Repeat' application policy flag; KeePass now always asks for the current master key when trying to export data.
  * Minor other improvements.

- Update to 2.53

  * New Features:

    + For each entry listed on the 'History' tab page of the entry dialog, the fields modified with respect to the previous entry are displayed.
    + Added 'Compare' button on the 'History' tab page of the entry dialog; when two (not necessarily consecutive) history entries are selected, clicking the button shows a detailed comparison (with values, etc.).
    + When editing an entry, the history entry list of the entry dialog now contains an entry called 'Dialog (unsaved)', which represents all data entered in the current dialog (other tab pages).
    + When editing an entry, the history entry list of the entry dialog now contains an entry called 'Current (TIME)', which is the entry that is currently stored in the database (without any changes made in the current dialog).
    + Added 'History' command in the 'Find' main menu; it lists all entry modifications (sorted by time).
    + Added filter box in most report dialogs (last modified entries, history, large entries, similar password clusters, password quality, history entry comparison, database file search, ...).
    + Added 'Print' button in most report dialogs.
    + Added 'Export' button in most report dialogs; supported formats are CSV and HTML.
    + Added {EDGE} placeholder, which is replaced by the executable path of the new (Chromium-based) Microsoft Edge, if installed.
    + Added URL override suggestion for Microsoft Edge in private mode in the URL override suggestions drop-down list of the entry dialog.
    + Added optional built-in global URL overrides for opening HTTP/HTTPS URLs with Microsoft Edge in private mode.
    + When trying to rearrange entries while automatic sorting is activated, KeePass now asks whether to deactivate automatic sorting.
    + Added access keys in the tags button drop-down menu of the entry/group dialogs.
    + Added access keys in the 'View' → 'Sort By' menu.
    + Added access keys in the entry templates menu.
    + Added access keys in the 'Perform Auto-Type' menu (which is displayed if the 'Show additional auto-type menu commands' option is turned on).
    + Added {HMACOTP} and {TIMEOTP} in the 'Perform Auto-Type' menu.
    + Added keyboard shortcut Ctrl+T for the 'Copy Time-Based OTP' entry data command.
    + Added keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+T for the 'Show Time-Based OTP' entry data command.
    + Enhanced Password Depot XML import module to support the new format (added support for the new node names, group icons, recycle bin, tags, favorites, auto-type delay conversion, history, enhanced icon mapping, enhanced date/time parsing, ...).
    + Added border for headings in HTML exports/printouts.
    + Added support for running KeePass in FIPS mode.

  * Improvements:

    + History entries listed on the 'History' tab page of the entry dialog are now sorted from newest to oldest.
    + The icons in the list on the 'History' tab page of the entry dialog now indicate the type of the entry.
    + History entry controls of the entry dialog are now disabled when creating a new entry.
    + The history entry 'Restore' button is now disabled when any change has been made in the current dialog.
    + The 'Password modified' time is now updated immediately when deleting a history entry.
    + Improved URL override suggestion for Microsoft Edge in the URL override suggestions drop-down list of the entry dialog (changed from 'microsoft-edge:{URL}' to 'cmd://{EDGE} "{URL}"').
    + Improved optional built-in global URL overrides for opening HTTP/HTTPS URLs with Microsoft Edge (changed from 'microsoft-edge:{BASE}' to 'cmd://{EDGE} "{BASE}"').
    + Reordered web browser URL overrides alphabetically.
    + Improved dynamic menu item access key assignment.
    + Improved item separation in the entry details view.
    + In most places, groups in a group path are now separated by right arrows instead of hyphens.
    + Improved last modification time comparison for plugin data dictionaries.
    + Unified generation of common HTML parts.
    + The 'Copy Initial Password' command in the 'Tools' menu of the entry dialog now requires the 'Copy' application policy flag.
    + Various UI text improvements.

    + Minor other improvements.

  * Bugfixes:

    + The history entry 'Restore' button now always works as expected.

- Update to 2.52

    + Added 'Copy Initial Password' command in the tools menu of the entry dialog; it copies (to the clipboard) the password that was current when the dialog was opened.
    + When multiple entries are selected (containing at least one attachment), the number of attachments is now displayed in the 'Attachments' submenu of the entry menu.
    + Added option 'Alt. item background color' (supporting the states 'Off', 'On, default color' and 'On, custom color'); this combines the previous two options 'Use alternating item background colors' and 'Custom alt. item color'.
    + Comment placeholders ({C:...}) may now contain balanced braces.
    + In the auto-type entry selection dialog, values in the 'Sequence - Comments' column are dereferenced now.

    + The command for saving attached files is now available only if at least one of the selected entries has at least one attachment.
    + The {APPACTIVATE ...} auto-type command now ignores the options 'Cancel auto-type when the target window changes' and 'Cancel auto-type when the target window title changes'.

- Update to 2.51.1

  * New Features:

    + Most dialogs with fixed size now detect whether they fit onto the current screen, and when a dialog does not fit (e.g. due to a very high DPI factor), its size is reduced and scroll bars are displayed.
    + Added plural entry command names in the main window (e.g. the command for editing the currently selected entry/entries is now called either 'Edit Entry' or 'Edit Entries', depending on the number of selected entries).
