Tue Mar 18 01:44:41 PST 2003 Slackware 9.0 is released... happy release day! bootdisks/*: Patched kmod/ptrace hole. (see below) kernels/*: Patched kmod/ptrace hole. (see below) a/kernel-ide-2.4.20-i486-5.tgz: Patched kmod/ptrace hole. (see below) ap/mysql-3.23.56-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to mysql-3.23.56. d/ccache-2.2-i386-1.tgz: Added ccache-2.2. d/kernel-headers-2.4.20-i386-5.tgz: Patched ptrace related headers. k/kernel-source-2.4.20-noarch-5.tgz: Patched kmod/ptrace hole. The kernel module loader in Linux kernel 2.2.x before 2.2.25, and 2.4.x before 2.4.20, allows local users to gain root privileges by using ptrace to attach to a child process that is spawned by the kernel. For additional information and references, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0127 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Mon Mar 17 10:47:33 PST 2003 Slackware 9.0 is (almost) released... happy Saint Patrick's Day! :-) extra/kernel-modules-2.4.20_xfs/kernel-modules-2.4.20_xfs-i486-6.tgz: Reverted to the stock ac97_codec/emu10k1 modules, as the ones from CVS have problems compiling for the 2.4.20-xfs kernel version and won't load. a/kernel-modules-2.4.20-i486-7.tgz: Updated to the ac97_codec and emu10k1 drivers from CVS (this should support the Audigy cards). 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. (for real fun, try 'vlc -V aa some-file.mpg' on the console) rootdisks/sbootmgr.dsk: Added a floppy image with the Smart Boot Manager. a/kernel-modules-2.4.20-i486-6.tgz: Updated emu10k1 and ac97_codec. d/nasm-0.98.36-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to nasm-0.98.36. kde/qt-3.1.2-i386-2.tgz: Upgraded to qt-x11-free-3.1.2 with Xinerama support. kde/koffice-1.2.1-i386-3.tgz: Added two official patches to fix possible crashes with KWord. kde/*.tgz: Recompiled all KDE packages against the new Qt. x/xfree86-4.3.0-i386-2.tgz: Removed /etc/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap. 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. (* Security fix *) ap/man-pages-1.56-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to man-pages-1.56. d/automake-1.7.3-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to automake-1.7.3. d/kernel-headers-2.4.20-i386-4.tgz: Updated headers. gnome/eel-2.2.2-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to eel-2.2.2. gnome/gnome2-user-docs-2.0.6-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to gnome2-user-docs-2.0.6. gnome/librsvg-2.2.4-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to librsvg-2.2.4. gnome/nautilus-2.2.2-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to nautilus-2.2.2. k/kernel-source-2.4.20-noarch-4.tgz: Updated headers and .config. n/mutt-1.4i-i386-3.tgz: Recompile with both --enable-locales-fix and --without-wc-funcs to fix displaying accented characters in the pager. (thanks to Jurgen Philippaerts) n/openssl-0.9.7a-i386-2.tgz: Fixed man page links (thanks to Sergey Kurilkin). +--------------------------+ Mon Mar 10 16:20:39 PST 2003 isolinux/isolinux.cfg: Fixed xfs.i boot option (thanks to Chris Willing). rootdisks/install.*, isolinux/initrd.img: Upgraded to dialog-0.9b-20030308. kernels/speakup.i/*, bootdisks/speakup.i: Recompiled using the latest Speakup code from CVS. a/aaa_base-9.0.0-noarch-1.tgz: Updated initial email. a/hotplug-2002_08_26-noarch-5.tgz: Added e100 module to the blacklist so that it won't try to load on top of an already loaded eepro100 module. a/pkgtools-9.0.0-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to dialog-0.9b-20030308. 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. (suggested by guilherme and Yann Brillouet) xap/xvim-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) +--------------------------+ Sat Mar 8 00:33:50 PST 2003 rootdisks/install.*, isolinux/initrd.img: Don't offer to install a software series if it wasn't burned on the install CD. 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). IMHO, it's best to leave the glibc-2.3.2 issues for later. extra/glibc-extra-packages/glibc-debug-2.3.1-i386-3.tgz: Patched, recompiled. extra/glibc-extra-packages/glibc-profile-2.3.1-i386-3.tgz: Patched, recompiled. rootdisks/install.*, isolinux/initrd.img: Fixed installing to a cciss device.

It seems like something about either the new glibc or gcc is causing problems with the static rpm binary, and tests on newer versions seem to have even more bugs (4.1, for instance, doesn't want to build RPMs at all -- it leaves nothing in /usr/src/rpm/RPMS, but also gives no indication of failure). Anyway, we'll go with this for now. The broken rpm-4.1 source and build scripts are in source/ap/rpm/4.1. If anyone has a real handle on why a vanilla build of 4.1 can't build SRPMS, I'm accepting hints. :-) kde/koffice-1.2.1-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to koffice-1.2.1.

This replaces the mailx package. (Suggested by Frédéric L. W. Meunier) ---------------------------- Thu Nov 28 16:39:25 PST 2002 a/bin-8.3.0-i386-4.tgz: Merged in a patch for rpm2targz from David Cantrell to put the contents of SRPMS into an appropriately named subdirectory. I've modified this to use "file" to detect SRPMS (which works fine on Slackware). If you need a more portable approach, David's C program "getrpmtype" is included in source/a/bin, and should compile on most systems. rpm2targz will use this utility if it's found in the $PATH. Thanks David! :-) Upgraded to which-2.14. l/libxml2-2.4.28-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to libxml2-2.4.28. l/libxslt-1.0.23-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to libxslt-1.0.23. xap/mozilla-1.2-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to mozilla-1.2. ---------------------------- Sun Nov 24 11:42:03 PST 2002 n/pine-4.50-i386-2.tgz: Patched pine to actually look for the pine.conf, pine.conf.fixed, and pine.info files in /etc, not /etc/pine (where the original patch mistakenly had it looking).

(suggested by Stepan Roh) n/samba-2.2.7-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to samba-2.2.7. Some details (based on the WHATSNEW.txt file included in samba-2.2.7): This fixes a security hole discovered in versions 2.2.2 through 2.2.6 of Samba that could potentially allow an attacker to gain root access on the target machine. The word "potentially" is used because there is no known exploit of this bug, and the Samba Team has not been able to craft one ourselves. However, the seriousness of the problem warrants this immediate 2.2.7 release. There was a bug in the length checking for encrypted password change requests from clients. A client could potentially send an encrypted password, which, when decrypted with the old hashed password could be used as a buffer overrun attack on the stack of smbd. The attack would have to be crafted such that converting a DOS codepage string to little endian UCS2 unicode would translate into an executable block of code. Thanks to Steve Langasek and Eloy Paris for bringing this vulnerability to our notice. (* Security fix *) An unrelated change to the Slackware package is the addition of libsmbclient. This was suggested by Marcelo Anton, and should be a big help for smb:// browsing with KDE (once kdebase is recompiled :-). ---------------------------- Tue Nov 19 16:09:38 PST 2002 Patched and recompiled glibc to improve compatibility with older binaries and libraries.

A malicios administrator of untrusted DHCP server may execute any command with root privileges on DHCP client machine by sending the command enclosed in shell metacharacters in one of DHCP server provided options.

This prevents bash from crashing on certain keypresses when TERM=xterm. a/bin-8.3.0-i386-3.tgz: Have rpm2tgz use rpm2cpio if it's there. This is more reliable than the old approach of calculating the offset of the cpio archive and trying to extract it with dd. If rpm2cpio is not installed then we fall back to the old method. a/etc-5.0-noarch-8.tgz: In /etc/nsswitch.conf, don't try to use dns to look up networks. a/lilo-22.3.3-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to lilo-22.3.3. Changed liloconfig to use timeout instead of delay, and fixed the text formatting in several partition displays. d/gcc-3.2-i386-2.tgz: Recompiled with the following ./configure changes: --enable-threads=posix --enable-__cxa_atexit --disable-checking Previously we used --enable-threads. I think [=posix] is the default on Linux, but it's probably best to make it an explicit option. --enable-__cxa_atexit was added when Mark Post reported that it's needed for correct C++ standards compliance (thanks, Mark!). --disable-checking seems to be in common use everywhere else. The rumor is that using this will speed up the compiler. d/gcc-g++-3.2-i386-2.tgz: Recompiled. d/gcc-g77-3.2-i386-2.tgz: Recompiled. d/gcc-gnat-3.2-i386-2.tgz: Recompiled. d/gcc-java-3.2-i386-2.tgz: Recompiled. d/gcc-objc-3.2-i386-2.tgz: Recompiled. kde/kdebase-3.0.3-i386-2.tgz: Do not try to embed audio apps in Konqueror by default, as this is causes Konqueror to crash. They work fine from Konqueror in standalone mode, so this has been made the new default. If anyone knows what's actually causing this, drop me an email. n/yptools-2.7-i386-3.tgz: Upgraded to ypserv-2.5. ---------------------------- Mon Sep 16 19:03:11 PDT 2002 a/kernel-modules-2.4.19-i386-3.tgz: Rerun depmod -a. a/lilo-22.2-i386-6.tgz: In liloconfig, properly sort DOS partitions.

Also fixed a problem with freetype2 where there were two versions of the shared library on the system. (* Security fix *) x/xfree86-devel-4.2.1-i386-2.tgz: Recompiled with 4.2.1-mit-shm-security.patch. (* Security fix *) rootdisks/install.1, install.2: Fixed the rootdisk loading problem. Split the installer into two parts so that we can use compression on the rootdisks again. As a result, only 2 rootdisks are needed instead of 5. I'm pretty sure now that Slackware 8.1 is going to be remembered as the release with all the rootdisks. ;-) ---------------------------- Thu Sep 5 15:48:39 PDT 2002 a/kernel-modules-2.4.19-i386-2.tgz: Upgraded to XFree86 4.2.1 DRI modules. a/util-linux-2.11u-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to util-linux-2.11u. ap/groff-1.17.2-i386-3.tgz: Added zsoelim -> soelim symlink. groff-1.18 was tried, but this version adds ANSI color support and makes color support the default (which breaks everything I tried). Maybe we'll see saner defaults in 1.18.1... d/automake-1.6.3-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to automake-1.6.3. xap/xmms-1.2.7-i386-3.tgz: Recompiled against libogg-1.0.

I don't like to do this, but it's becoming fairly common to see awk used in startup scripts. For example, the hotplug support will require awk. a/hotplug-2002_08_26-noarch-1.tgz: Added hotplug-2002_08_26. These are scripts to automatically initialize PCI, Cardbus, and USB devices when they are plugged into the system or at boot time. Cardbus modules are now loaded by hotplug rather than pcmcia-cs. a/pciutils-2.1.10-i386-2.tgz: Added pcimodules (needed by hotplug). a/pcmcia-cs-3.2.1-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to pcmcia-cs-3.2.1. a/sysvinit-2.84-i386-20.tgz: Edited /etc/rc.d/rc.M to start rc.hotplug. a/usbutils-0.11-i386-1.tgz: Added usbutils-0.11. ap/flac-1.0.3-i386-1.tgz: Added flac-1.0.3. gnome/galeon-1.2.5-i386-2.tgz: Recompiled with gcc-3.2/libstdc++.so.5.

Note that various Netscape plugins such as Java and flash will need to be recompiled using gcc-3.2 before they will work with a gcc-3.2 compiled Mozilla, galeon, Konqueror, or other browser. The plugins will continue to work in Netscape, so if you must have working plugins you'll need to use that (at least for now). xap/netscape-7.0-i686-1.tgz: Upgraded to Netscape 7.0. ---------------------------- Fri Aug 23 21:22:03 PDT 2002 a/reiserfsprogs-3.6.3-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to reiserfsprogs-3.6.3. ap/mysql-3.23.52-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to mysql-3.23.52. kde/qt-3.0.5-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to qt-x11-free-3.0.5. kde/: Upgraded to KDE-3.0.3. kdei/: Upgraded to KDE-3.0.3 i18n packages. n/lftp-2.6.1a-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to lftp-2.6.1a. n/lynx-2.8.4-i386-3.tgz: Recompiled with lynx2.8.4rel.1c.patch. n/samba-2.2.5-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to samba-2.2.5. n/sendmail-8.12.5-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to sendmail-8.12.5. n/sendmail-cf-8.12.5-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to sendmail-8.12.5. ---------------------------- Mon Aug 19 16:15:04 PDT 2002 a/jfsutils-1.0.21-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to jfsutils-1.0.21. a/kernel-ide-2.4.19-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to linux-2.4.19. a/kernel-modules-2.4.19-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to modules for linux-2.4.19.

Versions of libmm earlier than 1.2.0 contain a tmp file vulnerability which may allow the local Apache user to gain privileges via temporary files or symlinks. For details, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2002-0658 This was also recompiled using EAPI patch from mod_ssl-2.8.10_1.3.26.

Another workaround for this problem is to edit /etc/nsswtich.conf changing: networks: files dns to: networks: files (* Security fix *) patches/packages/glibc-solibs-2.2.5-i386-3.tgz: Patched to fix a buffer overflow in glibc's DNS resolver functions that look up network addresses. (* Security fix *) patches/packages/mod_ssl-2.8.10_1.3.26-i386-1.tgz: This update fixes an off-by-one error in earlier versions of mod_ssl that may allow local users to execute code as the Apache user. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2002-0653 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/openssh-3.4p1-i386-2.tgz: Recompiled against openssl-0.9.6e. This update also contains a fix to the installation script to ensure that the sshd privsep user is correctly created. patches/packages/openssl-0.9.6e-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to openssl-0.9.6e, which fixes 4 potentially remotely exploitable bugs. For details, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2002-0659 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/openssl-solibs-0.9.6e-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to openssl-0.9.6e, which fixes 4 potentially remotely exploitable bugs. For details, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2002-0659 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/php-4.2.2-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to php-4.2.2. Earlier versions of PHP 4.2.x contain a security vulnerability, which although not currently considered exploitable on the x86 architecture is probably still a good to patch. For details, see: http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2002-21.html (* Security fix *) ---------------------------- Wed Jun 26 12:03:06 PDT 2002 patches/packages/openssh-3.4p1-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to openssh-3.4p1. This version enables privilege separation by default. The README.privsep file says this about it: Privilege separation, or privsep, is method in OpenSSH by which operations that require root privilege are performed by a separate privileged monitor process. Its purpose is to prevent privilege escalation by containing corruption to an unprivileged process. More information is available at: http://www.citi.umich.edu/u/provos/ssh/privsep.html Note that ISS has released an advisory on OpenSSH (OpenSSH Remote Challenge Vulnerability). Slackware is not affected by this issue, as we have never included AUTH_BSD, S/KEY, or PAM. Unless at least one of these options is compiled into sshd, it is not vulnerable. Further note that none of these options are turned on in a default build from source code, so if you have built sshd yourself you should not be vulnerable unless you've enabled one of these options. Regardless, the security provided by privsep is unquestionably better. This time we (Slackware) were lucky, but next time we might not be. Therefore we recommend that all sites running the OpenSSH daemon (sshd, enabled by default in Slackware 8.1) upgrade to this new openssh package. After upgrading the package, restart the daemon like this: /etc/rc.d/rc.sshd restart We would like to thank Theo and the rest of the OpenSSH team for their quick handling of this issue, Niels Provos and Markus Friedl for implementing privsep, and Solar Designer for working out issues with privsep on 2.2 Linux kernels. ---------------------------- Wed Jun 19 07:02:39 PDT 2002 Slackware 8.1.01-stable is released. a/sysvinit-2.84-i386-19.tgz: Added -M to fix quotacheck for reiserfs. d/cvs-1.11.2-i386-2.tgz: Added docs in text format. n/apache-1.3.26-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to apache-1.3.26. This fixes the issue described in: "CERT Advisory CA-2002-17 Apache Web Server Chunk Handling Vulnerability" While the impact of this issue is minimal on 32 bit Linux systems, we felt it was important enough to stop the presses and get these fixes in before sending the Slackware 8.1 discs in for replication. (* Security fix *) n/mod_ssl-2.8.9_1.3.26-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to mod_ssl-2.8.9_1.3.26. rootdisks/rescue.dsk: Added network/pcmcia scripts. ---------------------------- Tue Jun 18 10:47:47 PDT 2002 Slackware 8.1-stable is released! :-)
