Wed Sep 17 02:28:20 CDT 2008 patches/packages/bind-9.3.5_P2-i386-1_slack9.0.tgz: Upgraded to bind-9.3.5-P2. This version has performance gains over bind-9.3.5-P1. +--------------------------+ Mon Jul 28 22:05:06 CDT 2008 patches/packages/fetchmail-6.3.8-i486-1_slack9.0.tgz: Patched to fix a possible denial of service when "-v -v" options are used. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-2711 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Wed Jul 9 20:03:57 CDT 2008 patches/packages/bind-9.3.5_P1-i386-1_slack9.0.tgz: Upgraded to bind-9.3.5-P1. This upgrade addresses a security flaw known as the CERT VU#800113 DNS Cache Poisoning Issue. This is the summary of the problem from the BIND site: "A weakness in the DNS protocol may enable the poisoning of caching recurive resolvers with spoofed data. DNSSEC is the only full solution. New versions of BIND provide increased resilience to the attack." It is suggested that sites that run BIND upgrade to one of the new packages in order to reduce their exposure to DNS cache poisoning attacks.

This fixes various bugs, the most important of which have to do with the handling of unknown chunks containing zero-length data. Processing a PNG image that contains these could cause the application using libpng to crash (possibly resulting in a denial of service), could potentially expose the contents of uninitialized memory, or could cause the execution of arbitrary code as the user running libpng (though it would probably be quite difficult to cause the execution of attacker-chosen code). We recommend upgrading the package as soon as possible. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1382 ftp://ftp.simplesystems.org/pub/libpng/png/src/libpng-1.2.27-README.txt (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Mon Apr 7 02:04:58 CDT 2008 patches/packages/bzip2-1.0.5-i386-1_slack9.0.tgz: Upgraded to bzip2-1.0.5. Previous versions of bzip2 contained a buffer overread error that could cause applications linked to libbz2 to crash, resulting in a denial of service. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1372 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/m4-1.4.11-i386-1_slack9.0.tgz: Upgraded to m4-1.4.11. In addition to bugfixes and enhancements, this version of m4 also fixes two issues with possible security implications. A minor security fix with the use of "maketemp" and "mkstemp" -- these are now quoted to prevent the (rather unlikely) possibility that an unquoted string could match an existing macro causing operations to be done on the wrong file. Also, a problem with the '-F' option (introduced with version 1.4) could cause a core dump or possibly (with certain file names) the execution of arbitrary code. For more information on these issues, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1687 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1688 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Fri Apr 4 12:36:37 CDT 2008 patches/packages/openssh-5.0p1-i386-1_slack9.0.tgz: Upgraded to openssh-5.0p1. This version fixes a security issue where local users could hijack forwarded X connections. Upgrading to the new package is highly recommended. For more information on this security issue, please see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1483 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Thu Feb 14 17:05:55 CST 2008 patches/packages/apache-1.3.41-i386-1_slack9.0.tgz: Upgraded to apache-1.3.41, the last regular release of the Apache 1.3.x series, and a security bugfix-only release.

Previous libpng versions may crash when loading malformed PNG files. It is not currently known if this vulnerability can be exploited to execute malicious code. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-5266 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-5267 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-5268 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-5269 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Thu Nov 1 22:03:53 CDT 2007 patches/packages/cups-1.1.19-i386-2_slack9.0.tgz: Patched cups-1.1.19. Errors in ipp.c may allow a remote attacker to crash CUPS resulting in a denial of service. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-4351 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Wed Oct 10 11:50:50 CDT 2007 patches/packages/glibc-zoneinfo-2.3.1-noarch-6_slack9.0.tgz: Upgraded to timezone data from tzcode2007h and tzdata2007h. This contains the latest timezone data from NIST, including some important changes to daylight savings time in Brasil and New Zealand. +--------------------------+ Wed Sep 12 15:20:06 CDT 2007 patches/packages/openssh-4.7p1-i386-1_slack9.0.tgz: Upgraded to openssh-4.7p1. From the OpenSSH release notes: "Security bugs resolved in this release: Prevent ssh(1) from using a trusted X11 cookie if creation of an untrusted cookie fails; found and fixed by Jan Pechanec." While it's fair to say that we here at Slackware don't see how this could be leveraged to compromise a system, a) the OpenSSH people (who presumably understand the code better) characterize this as a security bug, b) it has been assigned a CVE entry, and c) OpenSSH is one of the most commonly used network daemons. Better safe than sorry. More information should appear here eventually: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-4752 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Sat Aug 18 15:00:32 CDT 2007 patches/packages/tcpdump-3.9.7-i386-1_slack9.0.tgz: Upgraded to libpcap-0.9.7, tcpdump-3.9.7. This new version fixes an integer overflow in the BGP dissector which could possibly allow remote attackers to crash tcpdump or to execute arbitrary code. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-3798 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Thu Jul 26 15:51:42 CDT 2007 patches/packages/bind-9.2.8_P1-i386-1_slack9.0.tgz: Upgraded to bind-9.2.8_P1 to fix a security issue. The query IDs in BIND9 prior to BIND 9.2.8-P1 are cryptographically weak. For more information on this issue, see: http://www.isc.org/index.pl?/sw/bind/bind-security.php http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-2926 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Wed May 16 16:16:59 CDT 2007 patches/packages/libpng-1.2.18-i386-1_slack9.0.tgz: Upgraded to libpng-1.2.18. A grayscale PNG image with a malformed (bad CRC) tRNS chunk will crash some libpng applications. This vulnerability has been assigned the identifiers CVE-2007-2445 and CERT VU#684664. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-2445 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Tue Apr 3 15:13:56 CDT 2007 patches/packages/file-4.20-i386-1_slack9.0.tgz: Upgraded to file-4.20. This fixes a heap overflow that could allow code to be executed as the user running file (note that there are many scenarios where file might be used automatically, such as in virus scanners or spam filters). For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-1536 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Wed Mar 7 18:02:55 CST 2007 patches/packages/gnupg-1.4.7-i486-1_slack9.0.tgz: Upgraded to gnupg-1.4.7. This fixes a security problem that can occur when GnuPG is used incorrectly. Newer versions attempt to prevent such misuse. For more information, see: http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-announce/2007q1/000251.html (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Sun Feb 18 15:20:36 CST 2007 patches/packages/glibc-zoneinfo-2.3.1-noarch-5_slack9.0.tgz: Updated with tzdata2007b for impending Daylight Savings Time changes in the US. +--------------------------+ Fri Jan 26 22:46:30 CST 2007 patches/packages/bind-9.2.8-i386-1_slack9.0.tgz: Upgraded to bind-9.2.8. This update fixes two denial of service vulnerabilities where an attacker could crash the name server with specially crafted malformed data. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-0493 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-0494 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Wed Jan 24 14:15:07 CST 2007 patches/packages/fetchmail-6.3.6-i386-1_slack9.0.tgz: Upgraded to fetchmail-6.3.6. This fixes two security issues. First, a bug introduced in fetchmail-6.3.5 could cause fetchmail to crash. However, no stable version of Slackware ever shipped fetchmail-6.3.5. Second, a long standing bug (reported by Isaac Wilcox) could cause fetchmail to send a password in clear text or omit using TLS even when configured otherwise. All fetchmail users are encouraged to consider using getmail, or to upgrade to the new fetchmail packages. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-5974 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-5867 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Wed Dec 6 15:16:06 CST 2006 patches/packages/gnupg-1.4.6-i386-1_slack9.0.tgz: Upgraded to gnupg-1.4.6. This release fixes a severe and exploitable bug in earlier versions of gnupg. All gnupg users should update to the new packages as soon as possible. For details, see the information concerning CVE-2006-6235 posted on lists.gnupg.org: http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-announce/2006q4/000491.html The CVE entry for this issue may be found here: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-6235 This update also addresses a more minor security issue possibly exploitable when GnuPG is used in interactive mode. For more information about that issue, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-6169 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Fri Dec 1 15:03:20 CST 2006 patches/packages/libpng-1.2.14-i386-1_slack9.0.tgz: Upgraded to libpng-1.2.14. This fixes a bug where a specially crafted PNG file could crash applications that use libpng. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-5793 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/proftpd-1.3.0a-i386-1_slack9.0.tgz: Upgraded to proftpd-1.3.0a plus an additional security patch. Several security issues were found in proftpd that could lead to the execution of arbitrary code by a remote attacker, including one in mod_tls that does not require the attacker to be authenticated first. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-5815 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-6170 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-6171 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/tar-1.16-i386-1_slack9.0.tgz: Upgraded to tar-1.16. This fixes an issue where files may be extracted outside of the current directory, possibly allowing a malicious tar archive, when extracted, to overwrite any of the user's files (in the case of root, any file on the system). For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-6097 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Mon Nov 6 21:29:24 CST 2006 patches/packages/bind-9.2.6_P2-i386-1_slack9.0.tgz: Upgraded to bind-9.2.6-P2. This fixes some security issues related to previous fixes in OpenSSL. The minimum OpenSSL version was raised to OpenSSL 0.9.7l and OpenSSL 0.9.8d to avoid exposure to known security flaws in older versions (these patches were already issued for Slackware). If you have not upgraded yet, get those as well to prevent a potentially exploitable security problem in named. In addition, the default RSA exponent was changed from 3 to 65537. RSA keys using exponent 3 (which was previously BIND's default) will need to be regenerated to protect against the forging of RRSIGs. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-4339 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Fri Nov 3 23:19:57 CST 2006 patches/packages/screen-4.0.3-i486-1_slack9.0.tgz: Upgraded to screen-4.0.3. This addresses an issue with the way screen handles UTF-8 character encoding that could allow screen to be crashed (or possibly code to be executed in the context of the screen user) if a specially crafted sequence of pseudo-UTF-8 characters are displayed withing a screen session. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-4573 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Fri Sep 29 00:21:27 CDT 2006 patches/packages/openssl-0.9.7l-i386-1_slack9.0.tgz: Upgraded to shared libraries from openssl-0.9.7l. See openssl package update below. (* Security fix *) patches/packages/openssh-4.4p1-i386-1_slack9.0.tgz: Upgraded to openssh-4.4p1. This fixes a few security related issues. From the release notes found at http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-4.4: * Fix a pre-authentication denial of service found by Tavis Ormandy, that would cause sshd(8) to spin until the login grace time expired. * Fix an unsafe signal hander reported by Mark Dowd. The signal handler was vulnerable to a race condition that could be exploited to perform a pre-authentication denial of service. On portable OpenSSH, this vulnerability could theoretically lead to pre-authentication remote code execution if GSSAPI authentication is enabled, but the likelihood of successful exploitation appears remote. * On portable OpenSSH, fix a GSSAPI authentication abort that could be used to determine the validity of usernames on some platforms. Links to the CVE entries will be found here: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-4924 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-5051 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-5052 After this upgrade, make sure the permissions on /etc/rc.d/rc.sshd are set the way you want them. Future upgrades will respect the existing permissions settings. Thanks to Manuel Reimer for pointing out that upgrading openssh would enable a previously disabled sshd daemon. Do better checking of passwd, shadow, and group to avoid adding redundant entries to these files. Thanks to Menno Duursma. (* Security fix *) patches/packages/openssl-0.9.7l-i386-1_slack9.0.tgz: Upgraded to openssl-0.9.7l. This fixes a few security related issues: During the parsing of certain invalid ASN.1 structures an error condition is mishandled. This can result in an infinite loop which consumes system memory (CVE-2006-2937). (This issue did not affect OpenSSL versions prior to 0.9.7) Thanks to Dr S. N. Henson of Open Network Security and NISCC. Certain types of public key can take disproportionate amounts of time to process. This could be used by an attacker in a denial of service attack (CVE-2006-2940). Thanks to Dr S. N. Henson of Open Network Security and NISCC. A buffer overflow was discovered in the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() utility function. An attacker could send a list of ciphers to an application that uses this function and overrun a buffer. (CVE-2006-3738) Thanks to Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry of the Google Security Team. A flaw in the SSLv2 client code was discovered. When a client application used OpenSSL to create an SSLv2 connection to a malicious server, that server could cause the client to crash (CVE-2006-4343). Thanks to Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry of the Google Security Team.

Some of the bugs have possible security implications if gzip or its tools are fed a carefully constructed malicious archive. Most of these issues were recently discovered by Tavis Ormandy and the Google Security Team. Thanks to them, and also to the ALT and Owl developers for cleaning up the patch.

The CVE entry for this issue may be found here: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-3082 +--------------------------+ Thu Jun 15 02:00:07 CDT 2006 patches/packages/sendmail-8.13.7-i386-1_slack9.0.tgz: Upgraded to sendmail-8.13.7. Fixes a potential denial of service problem caused by excessive recursion leading to stack exhaustion when attempting delivery of a malformed MIME message. This crashes sendmail's queue processing daemon, which in turn can lead to two problems: depending on the settings, these crashed processes may create coredumps which could fill a drive partition; and such a malformed message in the queue will cause queue processing to cease when the message is reached, causing messages that are later in the queue to not be processed.

Thanks to Francesco Gringoli for reporting this bug. +--------------------------+ Tue May 9 00:52:19 CDT 2006 patches/packages/apache-1.3.35-i386-1_slack9.0.tgz: Upgraded to apache-1.3.35. From the official announcement: Of particular note is that 1.3.35 addresses and fixes 1 potential security issue: CVE-2005-3352 (cve.mitre.org) mod_imap: Escape untrusted referer header before outputting in HTML to avoid potential cross-site scripting. Change also made to ap_escape_html so we escape quotes. Reported by JPCERT For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-3352 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/mod_ssl-2.8.26_1.3.35-i386-1_slack9.0.tgz: Upgraded to mod_ssl-2.8.26-1.3.35. This is an updated version designed for Apache 1.3.35. +--------------------------+ Wed Mar 22 13:01:23 CST 2006 patches/packages/sendmail-8.13.6-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to sendmail-8.13.6. This new version of sendmail contains a fix for a security problem discovered by Mark Dowd of ISS X-Force. From sendmail's advisory: Sendmail was notified by security researchers at ISS that, under some specific timing conditions, this vulnerability may permit a specifically crafted attack to take over the sendmail MTA process, allowing remote attackers to execute commands and run arbitrary programs on the system running the MTA, affecting email delivery, or tampering with other programs and data on this system. Sendmail is not aware of any public exploit code for this vulnerability. This connection-oriented vulnerability does not occur in the normal course of sending and receiving email. It is only triggered when specific conditions are created through SMTP connection layer commands. Sendmail's complete advisory may be found here: http://www.sendmail.com/company/advisory/index.shtml The CVE entry for this issue may be found here: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-0058 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/sendmail-cf-8.13.6-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to sendmail-8.13.6 configuration files. +--------------------------+ Mon Mar 13 20:42:48 CST 2006 patches/packages/gnupg-1.4.2.2-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to gnupg-1.4.2.2. There have been two security related issues reported recently with GnuPG. From the GnuPG 1.4.2.1 and 1.4.2.2 NEWS files: Noteworthy changes in version 1.4.2.2 (2006-03-08) * Files containing several signed messages are not allowed any longer as there is no clean way to report the status of such files back to the caller. To partly revert to the old behaviour the new option --allow-multisig-verification may be used. Noteworthy changes in version 1.4.2.1 (2006-02-14) * Security fix for a verification weakness in gpgv. Some input could lead to gpgv exiting with 0 even if the detached signature file did not carry any signature. This is not as fatal as it might seem because the suggestion as always been not to rely on th exit code but to parse the --status-fd messages. However it is likely that gpgv is used in that simplified way and thus we do this release. Same problem with "gpg --verify" but nobody should have used this for signature verification without checking the status codes anyway. Thanks to the taviso from Gentoo for reporting this problem. (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Fri Feb 10 17:26:59 CST 2006 patches/packages/xpdf-3.01-i386-3.tgz: Recompiled with xpdf-3.01pl2.patch to fix integer and heap overflows in xpdf triggered by malformed PDF files.

Presumably this replaces all the known security problems with a batch of new unknown ones. (fetchmail is improving, really ;-) For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-3088 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-4348 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-0321 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/openssh-4.3p1-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to openssh-4.3p1. This fixes a security issue when using scp to copy files that could cause commands embedded in filenames to be executed. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-0225 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/sudo-1.6.8p12-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to sudo-1.6.8p12. This fixes an issue where a user able to run a Python script through sudo may be able to gain root access. IMHO, running any kind of scripting language from sudo is still not safe... For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-0151 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Mon Nov 7 19:54:57 CST 2005 patches/packages/elm-2.5.8-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to elm2.5.8. This fixes a buffer overflow in the parsing of the Expires header that could be used to execute arbitrary code as the user running Elm. Thanks to Ulf Harnhammar for finding the bug and reminding me to get out updated packages to address the issue. A reference to the original advisory: http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/fulldisclosure/2005-08/0688.html +--------------------------+ Sat Nov 5 22:21:49 CST 2005 patches/packages/apache-1.3.34-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to apache-1.3.34. Fixes this minor security bug: "If a request contains both Transfer-Encoding and Content-Length headers, remove the Content-Length, mitigating some HTTP Request Splitting/Spoofing attacks." (* Security fix *) patches/packages/imapd-4.64-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to imapd-4.64. A buffer overflow was reported in the mail_valid_net_parse_work function. However, this function in the c-client library does not appear to be called from anywhere in imapd. iDefense states that the issue is of LOW risk to sites that allow users shell access, and LOW-MODERATE risk to other servers. I believe it's possible that it is of NIL risk if the function is indeed dead code to imapd, but draw your own conclusions... (* Security fix *) patches/packages/lynx-2.8.5rel.5-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to lynx-2.8.5rel.5. Fixes an issue where the handling of Asian characters when using lynx to connect to an NNTP server (is this a common use?) could result in a buffer overflow causing the execution of arbitrary code. For more details, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-3120 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/mod_ssl-2.8.25_1.3.34-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to mod_ssl-2.8.25-1.3.34. patches/packages/pine-4.64-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to pine-4.64. patches/packages/wget-1.10.2-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to wget-1.10.2. This addresses a buffer overflow in wget's NTLM handling function that could have possible security implications. For more details, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-3185 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Thu Oct 13 13:57:25 PDT 2005 patches/packages/openssl-0.9.7d-i386-2.tgz: Patched. Fixed a vulnerability that could, in rare circumstances, allow an attacker acting as a "man in the middle" to force a client and a server to negotiate the SSL 2.0 protocol (which is known to be weak) even if these parties both support SSL 3.0 or TLS 1.0. For more details, see: http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20051011.txt http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-2969 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/openssl-solibs-0.9.7d-i386-2.tgz: Patched. (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Mon Sep 12 23:38:33 PDT 2005 patches/packages/util-linux-2.11z-i386-2.tgz: Patched an issue with umount where if the umount failed when the '-r' option was used, the filesystem would be remounted read-only but without any extra flags specified in /etc/fstab. This could allow an ordinary user able to mount a floppy or CD (but with nosuid, noexec, nodev, etc in /etc/fstab) to run a setuid binary from removable media and gain root privileges. Reported to BugTraq by David Watson: http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/410333 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Mon Sep 12 12:49:39 PDT 2005 patches/packages/dhcpcd-1.3.22pl4-i386-2.tgz: Patched an issue where a remote attacker can cause dhcpcd to crash. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-1848 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Wed Sep 7 13:33:05 PDT 2005 patches/packages/mod_ssl-2.8.24_1.3.33-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to mod_ssl-2.8.24-1.3.33. From the CHANGES file: Fix a security issue (CAN-2005-2700) where "SSLVerifyClient require" was not enforced in per-location context if "SSLVerifyClient optional" was configured in the global virtual host configuration. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-2700 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Tue Aug 30 12:56:08 PDT 2005 patches/packages/gaim-1.5.0-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to gaim-1.5.0. This fixes some more security issues. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-2103 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-2102 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-2370 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/pcre-6.3-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to pcre-6.3. This fixes a buffer overflow that could be triggered by the processing of a specially crafted regular expression. Theoretically this could be a security issue if regular expressions are accepted from untrusted users to be processed by a user with greater privileges, but this doesn't seem like a common scenario (or, for that matter, a good idea). However, if you are using an application that links to the shared PCRE library and accepts outside input in such a manner, you will want to update to this new package. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-2491 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/php-4.3.11-i386-4.tgz: Relinked with the system PCRE library, as the builtin library has a buffer overflow that could be triggered by the processing of a specially crafted regular expression. Note that this change requires the pcre package to be installed. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-2491 (* Security fix *) Upgraded PEAR::XMLRPC to version 1.4.0, which eliminates the use of the insecure eval() function. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-2498 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Fri Jul 29 11:37:17 PDT 2005 patches/packages/tcpip-0.17-i386-16b.tgz: Patched two overflows in the telnet client that could allow the execution of arbitrary code when connected to a malicious telnet server. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-0468 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-0469 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Fri Jul 22 13:52:54 PDT 2005 patches/packages/fetchmail-6.2.5.2-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to fetchmail-6.2.5.2. This fixes an overflow by which malicious or compromised POP3 servers may overflow fetchmail's stack. For more information, see: http://fetchmail.berlios.de/fetchmail-SA-2005-01.txt (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Thu Jul 14 15:22:27 PDT 2005 patches/packages/tcpdump-3.9.3-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to libpcap-0.9.3 and tcpdump-3.9.3. This fixes an issue where an invalid BGP packet can cause tcpdump to go into an infinate loop, effectively disabling network monitoring. (* Security fix *) patches/packages/xv-3.10a-i386-4.tgz: Upgraded to the latest XV jumbo patches, xv-3.10a-jumbo-fix-patch-20050410 and xv-3.10a-jumbo-enh-patch-20050501. These fix a number of format string and other possible security issues in addition to providing many other bugfixes and enhancements. (Thanks to Greg Roelofs) (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Mon Jul 11 19:50:20 PDT 2005 patches/packages/php-4.3.11-i386-3.tgz: Fixed build/packaging bugs. +--------------------------+ Mon Jul 11 15:02:11 PDT 2005 patches/packages/php-4.3.11-i386-2.tgz: Upgraded PEAR XML_RPC class. This new PHP package fixes a PEAR XML_RPC vulnerability. Sites that use this PEAR class should upgrade to the new PHP package, or as a minimal fix may instead upgrade the XML_RPC PEAR class with the following command: pear upgrade XML_RPC (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Tue Jun 21 22:32:29 PDT 2005 patches/packages/sudo-1.6.8p9-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to sudo-1.6.8p9. This new version of Sudo fixes a race condition in command pathname handling that could allow a user with Sudo privileges to run arbitrary commands. For full details, see the Sudo site: http://www.courtesan.com/sudo/alerts/path_race.html (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Sat Jun 11 22:05:08 PDT 2005 patches/packages/gaim-1.3.1-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to gaim-1.3.1 and gaim-encryption-2.38. This fixes a couple of remote crash bugs, so users of the MSN and Yahoo! chat protocols should upgrade to gaim-1.3.1. (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Fri May 13 12:48:53 PDT 2005 patches/packages/gaim-1.3.0-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to gaim-1.3.0. This fixes a few bugs which could be used by a remote attacker to annoy a GAIM user by crashing GAIM and creating a denial of service. (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Sun May 1 22:08:39 PDT 2005 patches/packages/infozip-5.52-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to unzip552.tar.gz and zip231.tar.gz. These fix some buffer overruns if deep directory paths are packed into a Zip archive which could be a security vulnerability (for example, in a case of automated archiving or backups that use Zip). However, it also appears that these now use certain assembly instructions that might not be available on older CPUs, so if you have an older machine you may wish to take this into account before deciding whether you should upgrade. (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Thu Apr 21 14:23:50 PDT 2005 patches/packages/cvs-1.11.20-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to cvs-1.11.20. From cvshome.org: "This version fixes many minor security issues in the CVS server executable including a potentially serious buffer overflow vulnerability with no known exploit. We recommend this upgrade for all CVS servers!" For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-0753 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/gaim-1.2.1-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to gaim-1.2.1. According to gaim.sf.net, this fixes a few denial-of-service flaws. (* Security fix *) patches/packages/python-2.2.3-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to python-2.2.3. From the python.org site: "The Python development team has discovered a flaw in the SimpleXMLRPCServer library module which can give remote attackers access to internals of the registered object or its module or possibly other modules. The flaw only affects Python XML-RPC servers that use the register_instance() method to register an object without a _dispatch() method. Servers using only register_function() are not affected." For more details, see: http://python.org/security/PSF-2005-001/ (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Sun Apr 3 21:22:32 PDT 2005 patches/packages/php-4.3.11-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to php-4.3.11. "This is a maintenance release that in addition to over 70 non-critical bug fixes addresses several security issues inside the exif and fbsql extensions as well as the unserialize(), swf_definepoly() and getimagesize() functions." (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Sun Oct 31 17:21:46 PST 2004 patches/packages/apache-1.3.33-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to apache-1.3.33. This fixes one new security issue (the first issue, CAN-2004-0492, was fixed in apache-1.3.32). The second bug fixed in 1.3.3 (CAN-2004-0940) allows a local user who can create SSI documents to become "nobody". The amount of mischief they could cause as nobody seems low at first glance, but it might allow them to use kill or killall as nobody to try to create a DoS. (* Security fix *) patches/packages/libtiff-3.5.7-i386-4.tgz: Patched several bugs that could lead to crashes, or could possibly allow arbitrary code to be executed. For more details, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0803 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0804 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0886 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/mod_ssl-2.8.22_1.3.33-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to mod_ssl-2.8.22_1.3.33. patches/packages/php-4.3.9-i386-1.tgz: Fixed mod_php.conf to refer to /usr/libexec rather than /usr/libexec/apache. +--------------------------+ Mon Oct 25 16:37:59 PDT 2004 patches/packages/apache-1.3.32-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to apache-1.3.32. This addresses a heap-based buffer overflow in mod_proxy by rejecting responses from a remote server with a negative Content-Length. The flaw could crash the Apache child process, or possibly allow code to be executed as the Apache user (but only if mod_proxy is actually in use on the server). For more details, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0492 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/mod_ssl-2.8.21_1.3.32-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to mod_ssl-2.8.21-1.3.32. Don't allow clients to bypass cipher requirements, possibly negotiating a connection that the server does not consider secure enough. For more details, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0885 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/php-4.3.9-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to php-4.3.9. +--------------------------+ Fri Oct 22 16:27:48 PDT 2004 patches/packages/gaim-1.0.2-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to gaim-1.0.2 and gaim-encryption-2.32. A buffer overflow in the MSN protocol handler for GAIM 0.79 to 1.0.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and may allow the execution of arbitrary code. For more details, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0891 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Mon Oct 11 19:53:23 PDT 2004 patches/packages/rsync-2.6.3-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to rsync-2.6.3. From the rsync NEWS file: A bug in the sanitize_path routine (which affects a non-chrooted rsync daemon) could allow a user to craft a pathname that would get transformed into an absolute path for certain options (but not for file-transfer names). If you're running an rsync daemon with chroot disabled, *please upgrade*, ESPECIALLY if the user privs you run rsync under is anything above "nobody". Note that rsync, in daemon mode, sets the "use chroot" to true by default, and (in this default mode) is not vulnerable to this issue. I would strongly recommend against setting "use chroot" to false even if you've upgraded to this new package. (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Mon Aug 23 14:02:29 PDT 2004 patches/packages/kde/qt-3.1.2-i486-4.tgz: Patched bugs in the image loading routines which could be used by an attacker to run unauthorized code or create a denial-of-service. For more details, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0691 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0692 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0693 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Sat Aug 7 17:16:40 AKDT 2004 patches/packages/libpng-1.2.5-i486-3.tgz: Patched possible security issues including buffer and integer overflows and null pointer references. These issues could cause program crashes, or possibly allow arbitrary code embedded in a malicious PNG image to execute. The PNG library is widely used within the system, so all sites should upgrade to the new libpng package. For more details, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0597 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0598 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0599 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/sox-12.17.4-i386-3.tgz: Patched buffer overflows that could allow a malicious WAV file to execute arbitrary code. (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Sun Jul 25 18:33:14 PDT 2004 patches/packages/mod_ssl-2.8.19_1.3.31-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to mod_ssl-2.8.19-1.3.31. This fixes a security hole (ssl_log() related format string vulnerability in mod_proxy hook functions), so sites using mod_ssl should upgrade to the new version. Be sure to back up your existing key files first. (* Security fix *) patches/packages/samba-2.2.10-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to samba-2.2.10. A buffer overrun has been located in the code used to support the 'mangling method = hash' smb.conf option. Affected Samba 2.2 installations can avoid this possible security bug by using the hash2 mangling method. Server installations requiring the hash mangling method are encouraged to upgrade to Samba v2.2.10 or v3.0.5. For more details, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0686 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Tue Jul 20 20:38:58 PDT 2004 patches/packages/php-4.3.8-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to php-4.3.8. This release fixes two security problems in PHP (memory_limit handling and a problem in the strip_tags function). Sites using PHP should upgrade. For more details, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0594 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0595 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Tue Jun 15 02:03:06 PDT 2004 patches/packages/kernel-ide-2.4.21-i486-4.tgz: Patched local DoS (CAN-2004-0554).

(* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Wed Jun 2 00:00:58 PDT 2004 patches/packages/apache-1.3.31-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to apache-1.3.31, needed to use the new mod_ssl. patches/packages/mod_ssl-2.8.18_1.3.31-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to mod_ssl-2.8.18-1.3.31. This fixes a buffer overflow that may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a client certificate with a long subject DN, if mod_ssl is configured to trust the issuing CA: *) Fix buffer overflow in "SSLOptions +FakeBasicAuth" implementation if the Subject-DN in the client certificate exceeds 6KB in length. For more details, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0488 (* Security fix *) Other changes: Make the sample keys .new so as not to overwrite existing server keys. However, any existing mod_ssl package will have these listed as non-config files, and will still remove and replace these upon upgrade. You'll have to save your config files one more time... sorry). patches/packages/php-4.3.6-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to php-4.3.6. This is compiled with c-client.a in /usr/local/lib/c-client/ to fix a problem in previous php packages where linking against the library in a path under /tmp caused an ELF rpath to this location to be built into the PHP binaries. A local attacker could (by placing shared libraries in this location) either crash PHP or cause arbitrary code to be executed as the PHP user (typically "nobody"). Thanks to Bryce Nichols for discovering this issue and bringing it to my attention.

From the inn-2.4.1 NEWS file: * SECURITY: Handle the special filing of control messages into per-type newsgroups more robust. This closes a potentially exploitable buffer overflow. Thanks to Dan Riley for his excellent bug report. (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Wed Jan 14 16:52:50 PST 2004 patches/packages/kde/kdebase-3.1.3-i386-2.tgz: Recompiled with a patch for KDM. The problem only affects people using PAM, but since it's an available patch I added it. This one's probably optional for most Slackware users. patches/packages/kde/kdepim-3.1.3-i386-2.tgz: Patched to fix a security issue. From the KDE advisory: The KDE team has found a buffer overflow in the file information reader of VCF files. A carefully crafted .VCF file potentially enables local attackers to compromise the privacy of a victim's data or execute arbitrary commands with the victim's privileges. By default, file information reading is disabled for remote files. However, if previews are enabled for remote files, remote attackers may be able to compromise the victim's account.

This fixes the following local security issue: o CAN-2003-0542 (cve.mitre.org) Fix buffer overflows in mod_alias and mod_rewrite which occurred if one configured a regular expression with more than 9 captures. This vulnerability requires the attacker to create or modify certain Apache configuration files, and is not a remote hole. However, it could possibly be used to gain additional privileges if access to the Apache administrator account can be gained through some other means. All sites running Apache should upgrade.

This update fixes problems with OpenSSL's ASN.1 parsing which could lead to a denial of service. It is not known whether the problems could lead to the running of malicious code on the server, but it has not been ruled out. For detailed information, see OpenSSL's security advisory: http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20030930.txt We recommend sites that use OpenSSL upgrade to the fixed packages right away. (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Tue Sep 23 14:43:10 PDT 2003 patches/packages/openssh-3.7.1p2-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to openssh-3.7.1p2. This fixes security problems with PAM authentication. It also includes several code cleanups from Solar Designer. Slackware does not use PAM and is not vulnerable to any of the fixed problems. Please indulge me for this brief aside (as requests for PAM are on the rise): If you see a security problem reported which depends on PAM, you can be glad you run Slackware. I think a better name for PAM might be SCAM, for Swiss Cheese Authentication Modules, and have never felt that the small amount of convenience it provides is worth the great loss of system security. We miss out on half a dozen security problems a year by not using PAM, but you can always install it yourself if you feel that you're missing out on the fun. (No, don't do that) OK, I'm done ranting here. :-) I suppose this is still a: (* Security fix *) patches/packages/proftpd-1.2.8p-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to proftpd-1.2.8p (patched). This fixes a security problem in ProFTPD. From http://www.proftpd.org: X-Force Research at ISS has discovered a remote exploit in ProFTPD's handling of ASCII translations that an attacker, by downloading a carefully crafted file, can exploit and gain a root shell. The source distributions on ftp.proftpd.org have all been replaced with patched versions. All ProFTPD users are strongly urged to upgrade to one of the patched versions as soon as possible. Note that the upgraded package does not change the displayed version number to 1.2.8p (it remains 1.2.8), but we've verified the source code to make sure that this is in fact the patched version. We recommend all sites running ProFTPD upgrade to the new package right away. (* Security fix *) pasture/dontuse/wu-ftpd/wu-ftpd-2.6.2-i486-3.tgz: Fixed a security problem in /etc/ftpconversions (CVE-1999-0997). There's also another hole in wu-ftpd which may be triggered if the MAIL_ADMIN feature (notifies the admin of anonymous uploads) is used, so MAIL_ADMIN has been disabled in this build. Also note that we've moved this from /pasture to /pasture/dontuse, which should tell you something.

These fix a few problems with the ptrace patch used with the 2.4.20 kernel, and add a few extra drivers (like Silicon Image Serial-ATA support). The new kernel also fixes a number of security issues, such as a routing cache problem in 2.4.20 and earlier can allow an attacker to cause hash collisions in the prerouting chain that consume CPU resources resulting in a denial-of-service (CAN-2003-0244). patches/packages/kernel-headers-2.4.21-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.4.21 kernel headers. patches/packages/kernel-ide-2.4.21-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.4.21. patches/packages/kernel-modules-2.4.21-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded kernel modules to Linux 2.4.21. patches/packages/kernel-modules-2.4.21_xfs-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded the XFS-patched kernel modules package to Linux 2.4.21-xfs.

(* Security fix *) patches/packages/glibc-debug-2.3.1-i386-4.tgz: Patched, recompiled. (* Security fix *) patches/packages/glibc-i18n-2.3.1-noarch-4.tgz: Rebuilt. patches/packages/glibc-profile-2.3.1-i386-4.tgz: Patched, recompiled. (* Security fix *) patches/packages/glibc-solibs-2.3.1-i386-4.tgz: Patched a buffer overflow in some dead code (xdrmem_getbytes(), which we couldn't find used by anything, but it doesn't hurt to patch it anyway) (* Security fix *) patches/packages/glibc-zoneinfo-2.3.1-noarch-4.tgz: Rebuilt. patches/packages/gnupg-1.2.2-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to gnupg-1.2.2, which fixes a bug in key validation for keys with more than one user ID. The bug results in all user IDs on a given key being treated with the validity of the most-valid user ID on that key. (* Security fix *) patches/packages/hotplug-2002_08_26-noarch-6.tgz: Fix a bug which prevents hotplugged network cards from invoking rc.inet1 to bring up the interface. (Thanks to Mark for the bug report) Blacklist 8139cp driver as it interferes with 8139too. patches/packages/mod_ssl-2.8.14_1.3.27-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to mod_ssl-2.8.14_1.3.27. Includes RSA blinding fixes. (* Security fix *) patches/packages/sysvinit-2.84-i386-26.tgz: Use option m, not M, for quotacheck. Otherwise, the partition might be remounted losing flags like nosuid,nodev, noexec. Thanks to Jem Berkes for pointing this out. (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Sun Apr 20 16:35:57 PDT 2003 patches/packages/openssh-3.6.1p1-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to openssh-3.6.1p1. patches/packages/openssl-0.9.7b-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to openssl-0.9.7b. This includes patches for the widely publicized timing attacks against SSL. We've seen no evidence that these attacks have occured in the wild (and suspect it to be unlikely), but recommend that sites using SSL upgrade. (* Security fix *) patches/packages/openssl-solibs-0.9.7b-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to shared libraries from openssl-0.9.7b. Protects against timing attacks. (* Security fix *) patches/packages/procps-3.1.8-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to procps-3.1.8. Also upgraded to psmisc-21.2, which fixes a problem with 'killall' sending the wrong signals. (reported by Phil Howard and Phil DeBecker) patches/packages/kde/quanta-3.1.1-i386-2.tgz: Fixed package build. +--------------------------+ Thu Apr 17 15:32:15 PDT 2003 patches/packages/kde/*: Upgraded to KDE 3.1.1a. Also included in this directory are a rebuild of Qt (linked with Xft2 rather than Xft1), an updated aRts package (the aRts sound server is a component of KDE, but ships as part of Slackware's L series), and kdevelop-3.0a4a. Note that this update addresses a security problem with KDE's handling of PostScript documents. This is the overview of the problem from the KDE site: KDE uses Ghostscript software for processing of PostScript (PS) and PDF files in a way that allows for the execution of arbitrary commands that can be contained in such files. An attacker can prepare a malicious PostScript or PDF file which will provide the attacker with access to the victim's account and privileges when the victim opens this malicious file for viewing or when the victim browses a directory containing such malicious file and has file previews enabled. An attacker can provide malicious files remotely to a victim in an e-mail, as part of a webpage, via an ftp server and possible other means. We recommend that sites running KDE install this update. Please note that the change from Xft1 to Xft2 has changed the available fonts in Konsole (and presumably elsewhere), and that Xft2 seems unable to display the Linux Console font that was previously Slackware's default. Also, it doesn't handle gamma correction when displaying fonts against a black background, so we've had to change the default to black fonts on a white background (this is Konsole's default). This creates an additional issue with certain file types displayed as bold white by /etc/DIR_COLORS becoming invisible in directory listings. A workaround is to comment out these lines (or change to a different color): .mpg 01;37 # movie formats .avi 01;37 .mov 01;37 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/kdei/*: New internationalization packages for KDE 3.1.1a. +--------------------------+ Mon Apr 7 14:26:53 PDT 2003 patches/packages/samba-2.2.8a-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to samba-2.2.8a. From the samba-2.2.8a WHATSNEW.txt: **************************************** * IMPORTANT: Security bugfix for Samba * **************************************** Digital Defense, Inc. has alerted the Samba Team to a serious vulnerability in all stable versions of Samba currently shipping. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the ID CAN-2003-0201 to this defect. This vulnerability, if exploited correctly, leads to an anonymous user gaining root access on a Samba serving system. All versions of Samba up to and including Samba 2.2.8 are vulnerable. An active exploit of the bug has been reported in the wild. Alpha versions of Samba 3.0 and above are *NOT* vulnerable. (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Sat Mar 29 13:46:36 PST 2003 patches/packages/mutt-1.4.1i-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to mutt-1.4.1i. From www.mutt.org: Mutt 1.4.1 and 1.5.4 were released on March 19, 2003. These releases both fix a buffer overflow identified by Core Security Technologies. The only differences between 1.4 and 1.4.1 are bug fixes. If you are currently using 1.4, it's probably a very good idea to update. (* Security fix *) patches/packages/sendmail-8.12.9-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to sendmail-8.12.9. From sendmail's RELEASE_NOTES: 8.12.9/8.12.9 2003/03/29 SECURITY: Fix a buffer overflow in address parsing due to a char to int conversion problem which is potentially remotely exploitable. Problem found by Michal Zalewski. Note: an MTA that is not patched might be vulnerable to data that it receives from untrusted sources, which includes DNS.

Source for these can be found in source/a/kernel-modules/. gnome/gnomeicu-0.99-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to gnomeicu-0.99. (suggested by Tobias Svensson) +--------------------------+ Sun Mar 16 22:23:38 PST 2003 extra/blackbox-0.65.0/blackbox-0.65.0-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to blackbox-0.65.0. (thanks to Dell'Aiera Pol for pointing out that blackbox needed an upgrade, and casting another vote for fluxbox too :) extra/btmgr-3.7/btmgr-3.7_1-i386-1.tgz: Added btmgr-3.7-1. This is a boot manager (Smart Boot Manager, or SBM) written in assembly that's small, and can actually boot a CD-ROM without any need for the BIOS to support it. So, if you've got machines that "can't boot a CD-ROM", you might be able to boot a floppy disk with SBM and then boot the CD from the SBM menu. (thanks to Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi for the tip) extra/emu-tools-0.9.4/emu-tools-0.9.4-i386-1.tgz: Added tools for Creative sound cards that use the emu10k1 driver. (suggested by Marc Mironescu) extra/fluxbox-0.1.14/fluxbox-0.1.14-i386-1.tgz: Added fluxbox-0.1.14. (by popular demand :-) extra/kernel-modules-2.4.20_xfs/kernel-modules-2.4.20_xfs-i486-5.tgz: Updated emu10k1 and ac97_codec to support new cards. extra/vlc-0.5.2/vlc-0.5.2-i386-1.tgz: Added vlc-0.5.2, the VideoLAN client video player.

This doesn't seem to be needed anymore, and in 4.3.0 it breaks leaving X with Ctrl-Alt-BS. Thanks to Piter PUNK for the bug report and fix. xap/fvwm-2.4.15-i386-2.tgz: Fixed middle mouse button (thanks to grizzarv). +--------------------------+ Sat Mar 15 13:02:46 PST 2003 n/samba-2.2.8-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to Samba 2.2.8. From the Samba web site: * (14th Mar, 2003) Security Release - Samba 2.2.8 A flaw has been detected in the Samba main smbd code which could allow an external attacker to remotely and anonymously gain Super User (root) privileges on a server running a Samba server. This flaw exists in previous versions of Samba from 2.0.x to 2.2.7a inclusive. This is a serious problem and all sites should either upgrade to Samba 2.2.8 immediately or prohibit access to TCP ports 139 and 445. (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Fri Mar 14 22:04:48 PST 2003 a/sysklogd-1.4.1-i386-7.tgz: To improve filesystem performance, by default we should not sync() after every write to the logs. Thanks to Bruno H. Collovini for the tip. n/iptraf-2.7.0-i386-1.tgz: Added iptraf-2.7.0. (suggested by Bruno H. Collovini) n/wireless-tools-25-i386-2.tgz: Recompiled to quiet version warnings. (thanks to Dominik L. Borkowski) +--------------------------+ Fri Mar 14 00:52:10 PST 2003 Slackware 9.0-rc3 is released for testing... third time's the charm? extra/checkinstall-1.5.3/checkinstall-1.5.3-i386-1.tgz: Added checkinstall (patched to use Slackware's native makepkg tool). Thanks to Ezio and izto for talking me into this on /. :-) extra/java2-runtime-environment/j2re-1_4_1_02-i586-1.tgz: Upgraded to j2re-1_4_1_02. rootdisks/install.*, isolinux/initrd.img: Patched a cosmetic bug in SeTkernel. d/gcc-3.2.2-i386-3.tgz: Updated the fixed Mozilla headers. gnome/gedit-2.2.1-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to gedit-2.2.1. gnome/libgnomeprint-2.2.1.2-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to libgnomeprint-2.2.1.2. gnome/libgnomeprintui-2.2.1.2-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to libgnomeprintui-2.2.1.2. n/bitchx-1.0c19-i386-2.tgz: Patched to fix a crash on malformed input. xap/mozilla-1.3-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to mozilla-1.3 (with xft support). y/bsd-games-2.13-i386-6.tgz: Patched bsd-games-login-fortune.sh to only output a fortune if it's an interactive shell. This fixes some problems if you source /etc/profile in .bashrc or other startup scripts (with ssh and scp for example). Thanks to Brandon Zehm for the patch. +--------------------------+ Wed Mar 12 16:06:02 PST 2003 bootdisks/: Regenerated bootdisks to fix a couple that didn't boot. kernels/scsi.s/: Recompiled. kernels/scsi2.s/: Recompiled. +--------------------------+ Tue Mar 11 21:47:47 PST 2003 bootdisks/: Regenerated bootdisks from new kernels. rootdisks/install.*, isolinux/initrd.img: Updated kernel modules. kernels/: Recompiled using '# CONFIG_MODVERSIONS is not set'. extra/kernel-modules-2.4.20_xfs/kernel-modules-2.4.20_xfs-i486-4.tgz: Recompiled. extra/qt-3.1.2/qt-3.1.2-i386-1.tgz: This was recommended by several people as an important fix for Opera, but installing it causes all kinds of display problems with KDE (particularly with fixed fonts such as the one used by Konsole). If you care more about Opera than KDE, you might want to install this, otherwise it's probably a bad idea. a/kernel-ide-2.4.20-i486-4.tgz: Recompiled. a/kernel-modules-2.4.20-i486-5.tgz: Recompiled. a/openssl-solibs-0.9.7a-i386-2.tgz: Recompiled. ap/man-1.5l-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to man-1.5l. This fixes a (very minor) security problem where man might try to execute a binary named 'unsafe' as the user running man. Luckily, a binary with this exact name is extremely unlikely to exist in the $PATH.

Fixed missing xwmconfig manpage (thanks to Mark Post). +--------------------------+ Sun Mar 9 23:49:43 PST 2003 Slackware 9.0-rc2 is released for testing. bootdisks/: Regenerated bootdisks from new kernels. rootdisks/install.*, isolinux/initrd.img: Modified /sbin/probe to handle installing to a prepared software RAID array (type Linux RAID autodetect). Thanks to Gaston Dassieu Blanchet for the patch. rootdisks/pcmcia.dsk, network.dsk: Recompiled kernel modules. extra/db-4.1.25/db4-4.1.25-i386-1.tgz: Added db-4.1.25. extra/iproute2-2.4.7-now-ss020116-try/iproute2-2.4.7_now_ss020116_try-i386-4.tgz: Recompiled against the fixed libdb3. extra/isdn4k-utils/isdn4k-utils-CVS-2003-03-09.tar.gz: Updated from CVS. extra/kernel-modules-2.4.20_xfs/kernel-modules-2.4.20_xfs-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled, updated DRM modules. Note that the xfs.i kernel did NOT get the ext3 patches because otherwise the XFS patch doesn't apply cleanly. extra/lilo-22.5/lilo-22.5-i386-2.tgz: I'm getting reports of problems with this version of LILO and RAID, so it's being moved into extra/ for now. kernels/: Applied Andrew Morton's ext3 patches. a/devs-2.3.1-i386-13.tgz: Added video, radio, vtx, and vbi devices. Suggested by Kaloyan Naumov. a/elflibs-9.0.3-i386-1.tgz: Updated libdb-3.3.so. a/etc-5.0-noarch-11.tgz: In lang.{csh|sh}, suggest using LANG set to en_US.ISO8859-1 rather than C if problems are encountered with mouse cut and paste with GTK2. Piter PUNK suggested making en_US.ISO8859-1 the default, but this has other side effects such as changing the sorting of directory listings. a/hotplug-2002_08_26-noarch-4.tgz: Blacklist non-cardbus SCSI kernel modules, as these are likely to be built into the kernel if needed or already loaded from an initrd. a/kernel-ide-2.4.20-i486-3.tgz: Applied Andrew Morton's ext3 patches. a/kernel-modules-2.4.20-i486-4.tgz: Applied Andrew Morton's ext3 patches. a/lilo-22.4.1-i386-2.tgz: If no other kernel is found, look for a built kernel in /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot. (suggested by Jan Rafaj) In liloconfig's expert mode, added a dialog box to show (and possibly edit) the detected location of the MBR. This is helpful when installing to RAID volumes or other devices that might not be autodetected properly. Reverted to lilo-22.4.1 (for now) due to reported RAID problems with 22.5. a/shadow-4.0.3-i386-6.tgz: Applied a patch from Simon Williams to fix newgrp when run in a 'script' or 'screen' session. a/sysvinit-2.84-i386-25.tgz: In rc.S, don't try to run rc.modules unless /proc/modules exists (thanks to Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi). Reboot without sulogin if fsck returns a code of 2 or 3 (thanks to Jaroslaw Swierczynski). In rc.M, don't activate hotplug unless the kernel supports modules. ap/vim-6.1-i386-7.tgz: Updated vim patches through 6.1.385. If /usr/bin/vi doesn't already link to elvis, make a link to vim. (suggested by Lech Szychowski) d/kernel-headers-2.4.20-i386-3.tgz: Applied Andrew Morton's ext3 patches. k/kernel-source-2.4.20-noarch-3.tgz: Applied Andrew Morton's ext3 patches. l/db3-3.3.11-i386-3.tgz: Applied patch.3.3.11.1 to fix db185 problems. t/tetex-2.0.2-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to tetex-2.0.2. t/tetex-doc-2.0.2-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to docs from tetex-2.0.2. xap/xchat-2.0.1-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to xchat-2.0.1.

Thanks to P. Pitts Dockman for the suggestion. extra/sgml-tools-1.0.9/sgml-tools-1.0.9-i386-7.tgz: Fixed ownerships on /usr/bin and gtkdoc tools. extra/xlockmore-5.06/xlockmore-5.06-i386-1.tgz: I've always enjoyed xlock, but IMHO it was time to move it out of the default install. a/etc-5.0-noarch-10.tgz: Don't set LC_ALL in /etc/profile. Instead, add /etc/profile.d/ add lang.sh and lang.csh to set LANG. Thanks to penguinista. a/gpm-1.19.6-i386-5.tgz: Autodetect USB mouse in setup.mouse. a/hotplug-2002_08_26-noarch-3.tgz: Mount usbfs, not usbdevfs. a/lilo-22.5-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to lilo-22.5. a/pkgtools-8.9.1-i386-3.tgz: Don't set a (US) keyboard in the default XF86Config-vesa. Also, a minor patch to xfree86setup to insure the freetype module is loaded. a/sysvinit-2.84-i386-24.tgz: Try to run fc-cache at boot. d/distcc-1.2.3-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to distcc-1.2.3. gnome/libbonoboui-2.2.0.1-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to libbonoboui-2.2.0.1. n/iptables-1.2.7a-i386-2.tgz: Recompiled to enable new 2.4.20 features. n/pine-4.53-i386-3.tgz: Added pinepgp-0.18.0. n/netatalk-1.6.1-i386-2.tgz: This was still missing --with-shadow. (Thanks again to Garrick Meeker) n/samba-2.2.7a-i386-4.tgz: Moved rc.samba into /etc/rc.d, and made it chmod 644 so that after a full installation Samba will not attempt to start by default (without an installed smb.conf it won't start anyway). To get it to start at boot, chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/rc.samba, and install a config file (/etc/samba/smb.conf). n/tcpip-0.17-i386-16.tgz: Detect more network cards in netconfig, and fix loopback setup (thanks to John Yost). xap/gnuplot-3.7.3-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to gnuplot-3.7.3. xap/xscreensaver-4.08-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to xscreensaver-4.08. +--------------------------+ Thu Mar 6 20:40:09 PST 2003 n/netatalk-1.6.1-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to netatalk-1.6.1. (suggested by Garrick Meeker, as it's needed to build against the new OpenSSL, and it fixes a problem with using MD5 passwords with netatalk). tcl/tcl-8.4.2-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to tcl-8.4.2. tcl/tk-8.4.2-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to tk-8.4.2. xap/mozilla-1.2.1-i386-3.tgz: Mozilla is no longer stuck on the Modern theme. +--------------------------+ Thu Mar 6 00:02:35 PST 2003 a/gzip-1.3.3-i386-2.tgz: Added missing docs. a/pcmcia-cs-3.2.4-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to pcmcia-cs-3.2.4. Fixed network script to find the dhcpcd pid file correctly (thanks to GertJan Spoelman David Nordenberg, and Harri Olin, who all reported this issue :-). kde/kdebase-3.1-i386-3.tgz: Rebuilt against openssl-0.9.7a. n/apache-1.3.27-i386-2.tgz: chmod 644 /etc/rc.d/rc.httpd, so that after a full installation Apache will NOT start at boot by default. Upgrading to this package will also disable starting Apache at boot until you execute chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/rc.httpd. n/proftpd-1.2.8-i386-2.tgz: The install script now removes any existing files in /var/run/proftpd. Otherwise, old files may prevent ProFTPD from starting up from inetd. (reported by Luigi Genoni) +--------------------------+ Wed Mar 5 01:28:34 PST 2003 Recompiled glibc using a patch by Lance Larsh (via Alessandro Suardi and Luigi Genoni) to fix a problem in the dynamic loader that broke Oracle (and some other binaries). This same patch was included in glibc-2.3.2 by Ulrich Drepper as noted here in the glibc ChangeLog: * sysdeps/mips/dl-machine.h (ELF_MACHINE_RUNTIME_TRAMPOLINE): Fix masking of version index. Patch by Lance Larsh . I'm sure many of you were hoping to see an update to glibc-2.3.2 here, but I don't see anything to be gained by switching to 2.3.2 at the last minute. I've been testing it here, and although the ctype patch applies cleanly the result does not compile. Without the patch, most existing static binaries will again be broken under glibc-2.3.2 (this has been tested here with CompuPic).

It should work better now. Thanks to Jaroslaw Swierczynski for helping me figure this out. :-) ---------------------------- Tue Jan 21 13:08:00 PST 2003 d/cvs-1.
