GCC2015 Registration is Open!
by Dave Clements
Hello all,
We are tremendously pleased (and more than a little relieved) to announce
that *registration for GCC2015 is now open
<http://gcc2015.tsl.ac.uk/registration/>*. The 2015 Galaxy Community
Conference <http://gcc2015.tsl.ac.uk/> includes 2 days of hackathons, 2
days of training, and a two day meeting
<http://gcc2015.tsl.ac.uk/programme/> featuring accepted presentations,
keynotes, poster sessions, lightning talks, birds-of-a-feather meetups, and
plenty of networking. GCC2015 is hosted by The Sainsbury Laboratory
<http://www.tsl.ac.uk/>, in Norwich, UK, and events run 4-8 July.
Registration costs <http://gcc2015.tsl.ac.uk/registration/> depend on which
events you register for <http://gcc2015.tsl.ac.uk/programme/>, your career
stage/affiliation <http://gcc2015.tsl.ac.uk/registration/>, and when you
register <http://gcc2015.tsl.ac.uk/registration/>*(register by 22 May -
really, it will save you plenty).* Early bird registration starts at less
than £40 / day for students and postdocs, and at £55 / day for other
attendees from non-profits.
You can also sign up for conference housing
<http://gcc2015.tsl.ac.uk/logistics/#Lodging> during (and only during)
registration.
We apologize profusely for the delay in opening registration, and we thank
you for your patience and faith. We promise the conference will againbe
spectacular <https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/GalaxyProject/Statistics#Events>
.

Organising Committee <http://gcc2015.tsl.ac.uk/organisers/>.
PS: *And don't forget the poster abstract
<http://gcc2015.tsl.ac.uk/Abstracts> submission deadline is 1 May.*

Galaxy Tool Shed security vulnerability
by Nate Coraor
*Please note: This notice affects Galaxy Tool Shed servers only. Galaxy
servers are unaffected.*
A security vulnerability was recently discovered by Daniel Blankenberg of
the Galaxy Team that would allow a malicious person to execute arbitrary
code on a Galaxy Tool Shed server. The vulnerability is due to reuse of
tool loading code from Galaxy, which executes "code files" defined by
Galaxy tool config files. Because the Tool Shed allows any user to create
and "load" tools, any user could cause arbitrary code to be executed by the
Tool Shed server. In Galaxy, administrators control which tools are loaded,
which is why this vulnerability does not affect Galaxy itself.
Although we recommend upgrading to the latest stable version (15.03.2), a
fix for this issue has been committed to Galaxy versions from 14.08 and
newer. If you are using Mercurial, you can update with (where YY.MM corresponds
to the Galaxy release you are currently running):
% hg pull
% hg update release_YY.MM
If you are using git, you can update with (assuming your remote upstream is
set to https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/):
If you have not yet set up a remote tracking branch for the release you are
using:
% git fetch upstream
% git checkout -b release_YY.MM upstream/release_YY.MM
Otherwise:
% git pull upstream release_YY.MM
For the changes to take effect, *you must restart all Tool Shed server
processes*.
Credit for the arbitrary code execution fix also goes to my fellow Galaxy
Team member Daniel Blankenberg.
On behalf of the Galaxy Team,
