Bug Hunt - Image Size Boundaries

Sat, 27 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This is a guest post by abstractappsec who found a bug that was fixed in the Mumble 1.5.857 release (PR #6875).

This patch was due to an experimental bug hunt that I began a few months ago, and for which I coordinated findings with @Krzmbrzl. In this blog post the developers invited me to present, I’ll be taking a little detour from your standard Mumble blogs and talking about a way to contribute to open source even if you’re not a particularly strong coder. This is not an “information disclosure” or remote code execution type of bug, but I’ll make the case for its potential security implications as well.

Mumble 1.5.857

Sat, 11 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Mumble 1.5.629 (RC 3)

Sun, 14 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

We are happy to release the third and hopefully final release candidate of the new stable series Mumble 1.5.x. It fixes some issues and finally introduces the long-awaited accessibility overhaul of the entire application.

Also, as requested by popular demand, we reintroduce RNNoise in the form of our own fork. This should hopefully prevent any future issues while keeping a beloved Mumble feature.

Note: If you want to use RNNoise and you are upgrading from the previous RC (1.5.613), you will need to manually re-enable RNNoise in the settings.

You can download the new version from our Downloads page (under snapshots) or the GitHub release page.

New versioning scheme

Tue, 07 Dec 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Mumble traditionally used a versioning scheme of the form major.minor.patch where the patch version number was incremented for every bug-fix release of a stable release series (e.g. 1.3.0 -> 1.3.1). Most notably though, the patch version was always starting at zero for a new stable release series (e.g. 1.2.0, 1.3.0, etc.). This will no longer be the case.

1.4.0 Release Candidate 1

Sun, 12 Sep 2021 00:00:00 +0000

You can download the new version from our Downloads page.

1.4.0 Development Snapshot 6

Sun, 16 May 2021 00:00:00 +0000

From now on only bug fixes will make it into this series.

After having understood what it means for a release to be a snapshot release (see below), you can download the new version from our Downloads page.

Mumble for iOS 1.3.0

Wed, 12 Mar 2014 23:47:24 +0000

The Mumble team has released version 1.3.0 of the iOS Mumble client.

This new version contains a fix for the iOS 7.1 issue we recently blogged about. It is also the first release to use the iOS 7 look and feel.

As always, it’s available on the App Store. And don’t forget — if you enjoy the app, please spread the word, and remember to rate it in the App Store.

‘Mumble for iOS’ 1.2.3 is buggy when running on iOS 7.1

Mon, 10 Mar 2014 22:47:03 +0000

A word of warning: ‘Mumble for iOS’ 1.2.3 is incredibly unusable on iOS 7.1 – if you depend on it, you should probably not update to iOS 7.1 just yet.

There is a problem with audio subsystem, which is causing it to endlessly try to restart itself. This manifests itself via iOS’s ‘red bar’ (signalling that an app is using background audio) toggling itself on and off very fast (even when inside the app!), making the app unusable.

We’ve identified the problem, and we’re working on a fix. If you’ve already updated to iOS 7.1, fear not! We’ve also found a workaround which, while inconvenient, should help you work around the issue until a proper fix has been released.

Version numbering change

Mon, 10 Feb 2014 21:19:13 +0000

Mumble’s version numbers have been a great source of confusion for a long time. Version 1.1.8 being incompatible with 1.2.0, only incrementing the last place of the version number even though big changes were made and so on. This will change.

TL;DR: The next version will be 1.3.0 not 1.2.6. The next feature release after that 1.4.0 and so on.

Mumble 1.2.5

Wed, 05 Feb 2014 15:00:13 +0000

The Mumble team has released version 1.2.5 of the Mumble VoIP application.

This new version contains two important client-side security fixes. We advise our users to download this update as soon as possible from our SourceForge downloads page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mumble/files/Mumble/1.2.5/

This release contains no new features. For all practical purposes, it is a bug-fix release on top of 1.2.4.

Mumble for iOS 1.2.3

Wed, 05 Feb 2014 15:00:12 +0000

The Mumble team has released version 1.2.3 of the iOS Mumble client.

This new version contains two important client-side security fixes, and we advise users to download this update from the App Store as soon as possible.

Mumble for iOS 1.2.2

Fri, 20 Sep 2013 10:23:32 +0000

Mumble for iOS 1.2.1

Thu, 20 Jun 2013 21:57:41 +0000

Today, we’ll be releasing Mumble for iOS 1.2.1. This is a minor bug fix release to the 1.2 release we did earlier this month.

We found a nasty race condition which could cause crashes when the audio subsystem of the app was started or restarted. This bug seemed to happen very often on 4th generation iPod Touch devices, but could happen on all iOS devices with some bad luck.

Mumble for iOS 1.2

Tue, 11 Jun 2013 22:03:56 +0000

Earlier today, we released Mumble for iOS 1.2.

This release is compatible with the 1.2.4 protocol and includes support for the Opus codec.

Tue, 15 Jan 2013 18:14:59 +0000

Call for translations

Sun, 28 Oct 2012 21:43:00 +0000

Mumble for iOS 1.1.1

Thu, 20 Sep 2012 22:20:52 +0000

We’ve released an emergency iOS 6 bug fix for the Mumble iOS client today — Mumble for iOS 1.1.1.

It works around a compatibility issue with iOS 6 that caused users to be silent when transmitting audio. A few other crash bugs have also been fixed in the 1.1.1 release.

Opus codec now IETF standard (RFC 6716)

Tue, 11 Sep 2012 20:00:01 +0000

Mumble’s future primary codec Opus is now an official IETF standard (RFC 6716) and its reference implementations officially released. This is very good news for the Web as well as Mumble. If you want to figure out more about this new codec take a look at the announcements of Mozilla and the Xiph.Org Foundation .

Mumble for iOS 1.1

Thu, 26 Apr 2012 20:08:44 +0000

Today we’re releasing version 1.1 of the Mumble iOS app on the App Store.

This release addresses quite a few of the most sought-after features missing from the 1.0 version, along with fixes for various crashes and memory leaks.

Mumble for iOS 1.0

Sun, 12 Feb 2012 20:41:27 +0000

Today we’ve released Mumble for iOS 1.0 on the App Store.

This has been brewing for some time, but we are finally comfortable with calling this release 1.0, from both a feature and a UI perspective. The app is, of course, free of charge and open source.

UPDATE: The initial release was excluded from the App Store in France. We’ve since fixed this error, and apologize for any inconvenience this has caused!

IMPORTANT: Update to Mumble 1.2.3a

Sun, 15 Jan 2012 11:45:47 +0000

Due to an expiring certificate no Mumble 1.2.2 or newer released before today (15.01.2012) will work on the Windows Platform after 15 January 2012 11:36:47 GMT. If such an outdated Mumble is launched after that date the error message “A referral was returned by the server” will be displayed by Windows and Mumble will not start.

You can get fixed installers from from our project page.

Snapshot auto update ooopss

Sat, 29 Oct 2011 17:11:00 +0000

We noticed a medium sized ooops in Mumble today. It seems that in February this year a regression slipped in that broke automatic update checks for snapshot builds. The regression is now fixed.

We recommend all snapshot users to update to the new version by manually triggering an update check via “Help->Check for Update”.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Back online

Mon, 26 Sep 2011 20:48:23 +0000

After a 43 hour outage (4pm CET 24.09.11 till 11am CET 26.09.11) our services are up and running again. The outage caused by a cascading hardware failure destroyed, among other things, our servers back-plane and RAID-controller. To replace the defunct parts we had to rely on remote hands to provision replacements and do the repairs lengthening the process.

No data was lost in this incident (yes we would have had backups ;-)) and we are fully operational again.

Thank you for your patience.

Your Mumble team

ps: Thanks to our helpful remote hands.

pps: See our original announcement below.

We just released our next Release Candidate: Mumble 1.2.3 RC2. This Candidate is pretty much what most of the people using the latest Snapshots have been using the last weeks and we consider it to be very reliable.

As always the download can be found on our webpage at https://www.mumble.info.

If you want to know what exactly was changed since the last RC you can find our commitlog here.

Thanks to all the people that tested RC1 and reported bugs. Without you quite a few release critical bugs would have slipped through. Kudos to you all.

Hello fellow Mumblers,

As you might have realised it has been quite some time since 1.2.2 was released and we are eager to take the next step: 1.2.3 stable.

Unfortunately there is one tricky thing about stable releases: They should be stable 🙂 With now more than 190.000 users using 1.2.2 we cannot risk pushing something out there that breaks what used to work or behaves erratically in other obvious ways. This is why we need YOUR HELP.

Lost in translation

One important milestone for any Mumble release is freezing the text-strings. After a freeze, no changes are allowed, which means our translators can start working. For this release, we’d like a bit of help proofing and checking the strings before we freeze them.

Building web services for Mumble

Mumble provides a pretty neat online experience to its users as it is – still, people often look for some kind of an interface to query the server for status information over the web. The most common use for such an interface is an embedded channel viewer on a team’s web site, but it could be used for monitoring or other kinds of status notifications as well – the limit being your imagination.

As you already know if you read the article on our Tracker Squash Meeting or listened to the buzz in #mumble on IRC the upcoming 1.2.3 release will have a recording feature. The work on this has progressed nicely and since we are now shipping the first snapshots with this new feature in them we think it is time to give you a proper introduction.

First Mumble Tracker Squash Meeting

Over the past few months, most of the Mumble team has been busy with other projects. This has lead to an unfortunate build-up of unsolved bug and feature requests. This Sunday, we had our first developer meeting to address this.

Oh no, We’ve made a buzzword

When we first started with Mumble, we did it because none of the commercial alternatives had quality we were happy with, and there were no open source projects that would have been a good starting base. So, we made our own. This means Mumble was made to satisfy a need; the need we have for high quality voicecom when we play. As such, our two focus areas are voice quality and voice latency. Oh, and “cool technical stuff”. But I digress. Quality is subjective, and is hard to quantify, but latency is much easier to test.
