  • VestaCP Installer Compromised

    VestaCP Installer Compromised

    VestaCP Free Hosting control panel compromised again. Hackers where able to get access to VestaCP infrastcuture server, allowing them to modify installation script, so it sent root password of servers to hacker.

    Here is post from VestaCP on their forum

    I’m sorry about inactivity in this post from our side. It was a complex issue and we were not sure we understand the whole picture. Leak in the installer is just one piece of the puzzle. All pieces together lead to cumulative effect.

    The issue number one

    Our infrastructure server was hacked. Presumably using API bug in the release 0.9.8-20. The hackers then changed all installation scripts to log admin password and ip as addition to the distro name we used to collect stats.

    Please check if your server IP here

    http://vestacp.com/test/?ip=127.0.0.1

    If it’s there you should change admin passwords as soon as possible. Also please make sure there is no /usr/bin/dhcprenew binary installed on your server. This binary is some sort of trojan that is able to launch remote DDoS attack or open shell to your server

  • error: ‘x264_bit_depth’ undeclared (first use in this function)

    When installing ffmpeg, i get error

    CC	libavcodec/libvorbisenc.o
CC	libavcodec/libx264.o
libavcodec/libx264.c: In function ‘X264_frame’:

     if (x264_bit_depth == 8)
         ^
make: *** [libavcodec/libx264.o] Error 1

    This is due to incompatability with ffmpeg and x264.

    What you can do is try another version of x264. You will be able to download older version of x264 from

    ftp://ftp.videolan.org/pub/x264/snapshots

    On 2018-08-14, it failed with latest stable snapshot. So i tried 14 days old stable snapshot

    cd /usr/local/src/
wget ftp://ftp.videolan.org/pub/x264/snapshots/x264-snapshot-20180730-2245-stable.tar.bz2
tar xvf x264-snapshot-20180730-2245-stable.tar.bz2
cd /usr/local/src/x264-snapshot-20180730-2245-stable
make clean && make distclean
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared
make && make install
ldconfig

    This worked with ffmpeg.

    Solution here is to try latet version first, if it did not work, try older version, say try 1 month old version, if that did not work, go back 2 months, see if that works.

    Now install ffmpeg with

    cd /usr/local/src/
wget https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/archive/n3.3.5.tar.gz
tar zxf n3.3.5.tar.gz
cd /usr/local/src/FFmpeg-n3.3.5/
ldconfig
make clean && make distclean
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --enable-libxvid --enable-libvorbis --enable-libtheora --enable-libmp3lame --enable-gpl --enable-libfdk-aac --enable-nonfree --enable-libx264 --enable-libfreetype
make && make install && ldconfig
