Thu Sep 25 07:00:08 PDT 2003 Slackware 9.1 is released. Enjoy! +--------------------------+ Thu Sep 25 02:31:24 PDT 2003 extra/swaret/swaret-1.3.1-noarch-8.tgz: Upgraded to swaret-1.3.1-noarch-8. +--------------------------+ Wed Sep 24 23:57:23 PDT 2003 a/module-init-tools-0.9.14-i486-2.tgz: Added /bin/lsmod.old -> /sbin/lsmod.old symbolic link (thanks to Adrien Beau). a/slocate-2.7-i486-2.tgz: Don't add slocate to /etc/group twice. (thanks to mRgOBLIN) a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-36.tgz: Version 2.85 has a bug parsing the default environment, so we'll stick with a stable version for now. (noticed by Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi) d/python-2.3.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to python-2.3.1. d/python-demo-2.3.1-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to demos for python-2.3.1. d/python-tools-2.3.1-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to tools for python-2.3.1. gnome/eel-2.4.0-i486-2.tgz: Fix docs perms. (thanks to mRgOBLIN) l/imlib-1.9.14-i486-2.tgz: Fix docs perms. (thanks to mRgOBLIN) l/libxml2-2.5.11-i486-2.tgz: Fix docs dir perms. (thanks to mRgOBLIN) n/bind-9.2.2_P3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to bind-9.2.2-P3. n/ntp-4.1.2-i486-2.tgz: Fix docs perms. (thanks to mRgOBLIN) n/stunnel-4.04-i486-2.tgz: Fix docs dir perms. (thanks to mRgOBLIN) n/tcpip-0.17-i486-24.tgz: Added ethtool-1.8. (suggested by Felix Radensky) extra/bittorrent/bittorrent-3.3-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to BitTorrent-3.3. rootdisks/network.dsk: Keep modules available for modprobe until the user hits enter to unmount the disk. (thanks to Piter PUNK) zipslack/: Upgraded to module-init-tools-0.9.14-i486-2.tgz, sysvinit-2.84-i486-35.tgz, and tcpip-0.17-i486-24.tgz. +--------------------------+ Tue Sep 23 21:57:32 PDT 2003 In record time, this is Slackware 9.1 release candidate 2. :-) gnome/gal2-1.99.10-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gal-1.99.10. gnome/gdm-2.4.4.2-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gdm-2.4.4.2. gnome/gnome-applets-2.4.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gnome-applets-2.4.1. n/openssh-3.7.1p2-i486-1.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 *) n/proftpd-1.2.8p-i486-1.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 *) extra/kernel-modules-xfs/alsa-driver-xfs-0.9.6-i486-3.tgz: Renamed. Bruno Henrique Collovini wasn't going to leave me alone until I did this. ;-) extra/kernel-modules-xfs/kernel-modules-xfs-2.4.22-i486-3.tgz: Renamed. 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. (* Security fix *) zipslack/: Upgraded to openssh-3.7.1p2-i486-1.tgz. +--------------------------+ Mon Sep 22 22:58:30 PDT 2003 This is Slackware 9.1 release candidate 1. isolinux/initrd.img, rootdisks/install.*: Added reiserfsck. a/pkgtools-9.1.0-i486-4.tgz: Fixed setup.services to test to see if init scripts are present before trying to chmod them. n/proftpd-1.2.8-i486-4.tgz: Added support for mod_tls.

(thanks to Doug Asherman) l/pcre-4.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to pcre-4.4. n/bind-9.2.2-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled with official patch 9.2.2-P1. (supports "delegation-only" zones in caching/recursive name servers) n/nfs-utils-1.0.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to nfs-utils-1.0.6. n/openssl-0.9.7b-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled. +--------------------------+ Wed Sep 17 09:53:31 PDT 2003 n/sendmail-8.12.10-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to sendmail-8.12.10. This fixes security issues as noted in Sendmail's RELEASE_NOTES: "SECURITY: Fix a buffer overflow in address parsing. Problem detected by Michal Zalewski, patch from Todd C. Miller of Courtesan Consulting. Fix a potential buffer overflow in ruleset parsing. This problem is not exploitable in the default sendmail configuration; only if non-standard rulesets recipient (2), final (4), or mailer-specific envelope recipients rulesets are used then a problem may occur. Problem noted by Timo Sirainen." We recommend that sites running Sendmail upgrade immediately. (* Security fix *) n/sendmail-cf-8.12.10-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to config files for sendmail-8.12.10. +--------------------------+ Wed Sep 17 02:00:02 PDT 2003 Slackware 9.1-beta2 is ready for testing... a/elflibs-9.1.0-i486-1.tgz: Updated. a/smartmontools-5.1_18-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to smartmontools-5.1-18. (thanks to Frédéric L. W. Meunier) gnome/galeon-1.3.9-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to galeon-1.3.9. gnome/gthumb-2.1.6-i486-2.tgz: Patched to change locale directory from /usr/lib/locale to /usr/share/locale (thanks to Adrien Beau). kde/kdeaddons-3.1.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to kdeaddons-3.1.4. kde/kdeadmin-3.1.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to kdeadmin-3.1.4. kde/kdeartwork-3.1.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to kdeartwork-3.1.4. kde/kdebase-3.1.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to kdebase-3.1.4. kde/kdebindings-3.1.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to kdebindings-3.1.4. kde/kdeedu-3.1.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to kdeedu-3.1.4. kde/kdegames-3.1.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to kdegames-3.1.4. kde/kdegraphics-3.1.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to kdegraphics-3.1.4. kde/kdelibs-3.1.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to kdelibs-3.1.4. kde/kdelinks-1.1-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to kdelinks-1.1. kde/kdemultimedia-3.1.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to kdemultimedia-3.1.4. kde/kdenetwork-3.1.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to kdenetwork-3.1.4. kde/kdepim-3.1.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to kdepim-3.1.4. kde/kdesdk-3.1.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to kdesdk-3.1.4. kde/kdetoys-3.1.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to kdetoys-3.1.4. kde/kdeutils-3.1.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to kdeutils-3.1.4. kde/kdevelop-3.0.0a6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to kdevelop-3.0.0a6. kde/koffice-1.2.1-i486-5.tgz: Recompiled. kde/qt-3.2.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to qt-x11-free-3.2.1. kde/quanta-3.1.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to quanta-3.1.4. kdei/*: Upgraded to KDE 3.1.4 i18n packages. l/arts-1.1.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to arts-1.1.4. l/expat-1.95.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to expat-1.95.6. l/libtermcap-1.2.3-i486-6.tgz: Recompiled, added libtermcap.so.2 to the installation script. (thanks to Marco Berizzi) n/nmap-3.45-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to nmap-3.45. n/openssh-3.7.1p1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to openssh-3.7.1p1. The OpenSSH advisory was updated (http://www.openssh.com/txt/buffer.adv) and now says that you need at least version 3.7.1, which fixes some more buffer problems like those fixed by 3.7. (* Security fix *) n/pine-4.58-i486-2.tgz: Don't disable -d completely, but set the default debug level to 0 in os-lnx.h. (thanks to Luke Antins) x/ttf-bitstream-vera-1.10-noarch-2.tgz: Don't include fonts.cache-1 files; run fc-cache -f in the install script instead. x/xfree86-4.3.0-i486-5.tgz: Upgraded to freetype-2.1.5 and fontconfig-2.2.1. Updated Savage driver to work with new laptop chipsets. Patch integer overflows in the font libraries (thanks to Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi for sending in a cleaned-up patch). These packages will also work on Slackware 9.0 with the glibc update in /patches. (* Security fix *) x/xfree86-devel-4.3.0-i486-3.tgz: Upgraded to freetype-2.1.5 and fontconfig-2.2.1. x/xfree86-docs-4.3.0-noarch-2.tgz: Updated freetype/fontconfig docs. x/xfree86-docs-html-4.3.0-noarch-2.tgz: Rebuilt. x/xfree86-fonts-100dpi-4.3.0-noarch-2.tgz: Don't include fonts.cache-1 files; run fc-cache -f in the install script instead. x/xfree86-fonts-cyrillic-4.3.0-noarch-2.tgz: Don't include fonts.cache-1 files; run fc-cache -f in the install script instead. x/xfree86-fonts-misc-4.3.0-noarch-2.tgz: Don't include fonts.cache-1 files; run fc-cache -f in the install script instead. x/xfree86-fonts-scale-4.3.0-noarch-2.tgz: Don't include fonts.cache-1 files; run fc-cache -f in the install script instead. x/xfree86-xnest-4.3.0-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled. x/xfree86-xprt-4.3.0-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled. x/xfree86-xvfb-4.3.0-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled. xap/abiword-2.0.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to abiword-2.0.0. +--------------------------+ Tue Sep 16 11:20:30 PDT 2003 a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-35.tgz: In rc.M, don't use -f with fc-cache. This is just too slow to run at every boot, but it'll be done at install's end or when packages with Type1/TTF fonts are installed. d/libtool-1.4.3-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled. gnome/gnumeric-1.2.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gnumeric-1.2.0. l/libxslt-1.0.33-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to libxslt-1.0.33. n/openssh-3.7p1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to openssh-3.7p1. From the OpenSSH Security Advisory (http://www.openssh.com/txt/buffer.adv): "All versions of OpenSSH's sshd prior to 3.7 contain a buffer management error. It is uncertain whether this error is potentially exploitable, however, we prefer to see bugs fixed proactively." (* Security fix *) xap/mozilla-1.4-i486-3.tgz: Make sure broken leftover rdf files are removed. bootdisks/: New or updated scsi.s, scsi2.s, scsi3.s, pportide.i. kernels/scsi*.s/: Added scsi3.s to cover the missing SCSI drivers, and split things somewhat differently among scsi.s and scsi2.s. Added back pportide.i, since several people have asked for its return. See bootdisks/README.TXT for details about which drivers are in each kernel. extra/slackpkg-0.99/slackpkg-0.99-noarch-4.tgz: Added slackpkg, a simple tool for keeping a Slackware system up-to-date. Thanks to Piter Punk for quickly fixing a few last-minute bugs, and reminding me that I'd promised to add this. It's only fair, especially as I'm not a big believer in automated dependency handling. :-) +--------------------------+ Sun Sep 14 21:42:05 PDT 2003 ap/mysql-4.0.15-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mysql-4.0.15. d/cvs-1.11.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to cvs-1.11.6 (thanks to Adrian Lee). n/tcpip-0.17-i486-21.tgz: Change 'rpc.portmap' in rc.inet2 to 'rc.portmap'. (thanks to Dominik L. Borkowski) extra/swaret-1.3.0/swaret-1.3.0-i386-1.tgz: Added swaret, a tool for keeping a Slackware system up-to-date (perhaps inspired by apt-get). Thanks to Luc Cottyn and Michael G. Manry for the great work, willingness to make changes, and overall persistence. :-) +--------------------------+ Sun Sep 14 00:51:07 PDT 2003 a/gpm-1.19.6-i486-6.tgz: Widened setup.mouse menu. a/pkgtools-9.1.0-i486-2.tgz: Added rpc.portmap and IP packet forwarding on/off options to the setup.services menu. a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-34.tgz: In rc.M, use -f option with fc-cache. ap/sgml-tools-1.0.9-i386-8.tgz: Moved here from /extra. Without sgml-tools, scrollkeeper-update can take a *long* time to update. This also avoids libxml2 attempting to "phone home" to various DTD catalog sites in a tight loop. I'd be surprised if this broken scrollkeeper/libxml2 wasn't pounding some of those sites... clearly it's not robust enough. I'd like to see a setting or config file for these that prevents unauthorized attempts to access the network. Strangely, with *no* network access and no sgml-tools, scrollkeeper-update runs reasonably fast and the generated database works well enough (although it's not as verbosely tagged). d/j2sdk-1_4_2_01-i586-1.tgz: Upgraded to j2sdk-1_4_2_01. d/strace-4.4.98-i486-2.tgz: Fixed ownerships in /usr/bin. gnome/acme-2.4.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to acme-2.4.0. gnome/file-roller-2.4.0.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to file-roller-2.4.0.1. gnome/gconf-2.4.0.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gconf-2.4.0.1. gnome/gdm-2.4.4.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gdm-2.4.4.1. gnome/gftp-2.0.15-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gftp-2.0.15. gnome/ggv-2.4.0.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to ggv-2.4.0.1. gnome/ghex-2.4.0.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to ghex-2.4.0.1. gnome/glade-2.0.0-i486-2.tgz: Fixed ownerships in /usr/bin. gnome/gnome-mime-data-2.4.0-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to gnome-mime-data-2.4.0. gnome/gnome-terminal-2.4.0.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gnome-terminal-2.4.0.1. gnome/gnome-vfs-2.4.0-i486-2.tgz: Fixed ownerships in /usr/bin. gnome/gnopernicus-0.7.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gnopernicus-0.7.0. gnome/gthumb-2.1.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gthumb-2.1.6. gnome/gtk-engines-2.2.0-i486-3.tgz: Removed thinice engine (this is part of gnome-themes now), recompiled. gnome/libgsf-1.8.2-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to libgsf-1.8.2. gnome/libwnck-2.4.0.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to libwnck-2.4.0.1. gnome/metacity-2.6.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to metacity-2.6.1. gnome/mpeg2dec-0.3.1-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled. gnome/nautilus-media-0.3.3.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to nautilus-media-0.3.3.1. kde/kdelinks-1.1-noarch-1.tgz: Add menu links for Galeon, Xine, and a few other things. l/pcre-4.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to pcre-4.3. l/gdk-pixbuf-0.22.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gdk-pixbuf-0.22.0. n/portmap-5.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to portmap5, added /etc/rc.d/rc.portmap. n/ppp-2.4.1-i486-3.tgz: Build with HAVE_INET6=y (thanks to Anthony Roos). n/tcpip-0.17-i486-20.tgz: In rc.inet2, start rpc.portmap through rc.portmap. Added /etc/rc.d/rc.ip_forward to activate/deactivate packet forwarding. Both are off (chmod 644) by default, but nfs-utils will still start portmap for you if you try to start the NFS server without it running. If you've defined shares in /etc/exports and are running rc.nfsd I see no reason to argue simply because /etc/rc.d/rc.portmap isn't executable. xap/fvwm-2.4.16-i486-2.tgz: Fixed ownerships in /usr/bin. Thanks to Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi for checking root:bin correctness. extra/emu-tools-0.9.4/emu-tools-0.9.4-i386-2.tgz: Fixed /usr/local path in /usr/etc/emu-script (thanks to Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi). The Mozilla mystery (won't run after GTK1 Mozilla is ever installed and run) has been mostly solved. The problem is caused when the GTK1 Mozilla is run by root. This causes Mozilla to create several .rdf files under /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4/. Since these aren't part of the original package, they remain when Mozilla is upgraded to the GTK2 version, and prevent it from starting. The solution is to remove the old Mozilla package, remove /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4 and all its contents, and then install the GTK2 Mozilla package. After that, Mozilla should work for all users. Thanks to Mark McGrew for providing the crucial clues. +--------------------------+ Fri Sep 12 14:09:17 PDT 2003 a/module-init-tools-0.9.14-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to module-init-tools-0.9.14. d/j2sdk-1_4_2-i586-5.tgz: Change PATH and MANPATH to use /usr/lib/java/ instead of /usr/lib/j2sdk1.4.2/. (Suggested by Doug Asherman) Removed extra hotplug package (noticed by Alan Brown). +--------------------------+ Fri Sep 12 00:47:02 PDT 2003 Here comes Slackware 9.1 beta-1!

Removed broken /usr/sbin/monitor. (thanks to Dirk van Deun) a/pkgtools-9.1.0-i486-1.tgz: Merged installpkg fixes from the version used on the initrd.

I'm not going to wait forever for this to be declared ready (like the old days when everyone was using glibc betas and we refused), because more and more I get the feeling it will never get official approval. Everyone else is doing it! ;-) I did notice one strange problem where Mozilla just wouldn't start if the user had run the previous gtk1-linked version of Mozilla before.

(thanks giovanni quadriglio) In rc.M, run rc.alsa to load the mixer defaults. a/xfsprogs-2.5.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to acl-2.2.15, attr-2.4.8, dmapi-2.0.8, xfsdump-2.2.13, and xfsprogs-2.5.6. ap/alsa-utils-0.9.6-i486-1.tgz: Added alsa-utils-0.9.6. ap/aumix-2.8-i486-1.tgz: Added aumix-2.8. ap/dvd+rw-tools-5.12.4.7.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to dvd+rw-tools-5.12.4.7.4. ap/lvm-1.0.7-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to lvm-1.0.7 (for 2.4.x kernels). d/gcc-3.2.3-i486-2.tgz: Updated headers in /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-slackware-linux/3.2.3/include. d/kernel-headers-2.4.22-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.4.22 headers. k/kernel-source-2.4.22-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.4.22 sources. Included XFS patches in usr/src/xfs-2.4.22-unofficial. l/esound-0.2.29-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled against ALSA. l/alsa-driver-0.9.6-i486-1.tgz: Added alsa-driver-0.9.6. l/alsa-lib-0.9.6-i486-1.tgz: Added alsa-lib-0.9.6. l/alsa-oss-0.9.6-i486-1.tgz: Added alsa-oss-0.9.6. l/arts-1.1.3-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled against ALSA. n/gnupg-1.2.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gnupg-1.2.3. n/stunnel-4.04-i486-1.tgz: Added stunnel-4.04. n/tcpip-0.17-i386-18.tgz: Fixed typo in rc.inet1 comments. Upgraded to whois-4.6.6 and patched a command-line buffer overflow. (since this requires command-line control and whois is not setuid, this overflow is useless for gaining root) Merged in tools from iputils-ss021109-try, including arping, clockdiff, ping (improved version), rarpd, rdisc, tracepath, and traceroute6. iputils also includes several IPsec utilities that rely on apparently broken modified glibc headers that are bundled in (these did not compile). extra/gimp-1.3.19/gimp-1.3.19-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gimp-1.3.19. (thanks to Brent Cook for reporting that gimp-1.3 needed at least a recompile after the recent GNOME upgrades) kernel-modules-2.4.22_xfs/alsa-driver-0.9.6_xfs-i486-1.tgz: ALSA modules for the optional XFS kernel. kernel-modules-2.4.22_xfs/kernel-modules-2.4.22_xfs-i486-1.tgz: Kernel modules for the optional XFS kernel. You'll need to install these if you use the precompiled kernel for XFS. +--------------------------+ Tue Aug 26 22:47:08 PDT 2003 a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-31.tgz: In rc.S, detect if rc.hotplug is non-executable and if so, echo "/dev/null" > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug to make sure hotplug isn't triggered as modules or devices are accessed. Clean up rc.M. In /etc/rc.d/rc.6, detect SCRAM upsstatus (thanks to Bruce G. Burns). n/nfs-utils-1.0.5-i486-2.tgz: In rc.nfsd, start rpc.portmap if it's not already running, since it's no longer run by default. (Thanks to Marek Januszewski) n/sendmail-8.12.9-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled against OpenSSL to provide STARTTLS option. (Thanks to Luigi Genoni for the major help!) n/sendmail-cf-8.12.9-noarch-3.tgz: Added additional config files to support TLS if the proper certificates are installed (sendmail-slackware-tls.mc and sendmail-slackware-tls.cf). (thanks again, V-man :-) n/tcpip-0.17-i386-17.tgz: Upgraded to tftp-hpa-0.34. Rewrote rc.inet1 to work better with hotplug (and without). Moved the configuration details to rc.inet1.conf. Modified netconfig to work with this. In rc.inet2, don't run rpc.portmap unless NFS partitions are found in /etc/fstab. This was a tradeoff -- mounting an NFS partition will hang if portmap is not running, so this is likely to be a trap for some users. Comments welcome... it's not as tangled a mess as before, but getting everything to work together is tricky. It seems like all the various options work correctly now though, and rc.inet1 is a lot more readable. :-) +--------------------------+ Mon Aug 25 19:56:00 PDT 2003 isolinux/initrd.img, rootdisks/install.*: Support more than one installation disc. In expert or menu mode, run all the menus for each disc, and then go on to install the packages from that disc. Various other bugfixes. a/cups-1.1.19-i486-3.tgz: chmod 644 /etc/rc.d/rc.cups.new so that CUPS will not run on a default installation until the admin changes the perms. a/infozip-5.50-i486-2.tgz: Fixed a bug where a specially crafted archive might try to write to ../ or ../../, etc, potentially overwriting system files if the user (such as root) has permissions to overwrite them. Thanks to jelmer for locating this problem, and Ben Laurie for providing a patch. (* Security fix *) a/lilo-22.5.7.2-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to lilo-22.5.7.2. Patched liloconfig to understand new fdisk 2.12 partition names (Win95 -> W95). a/util-linux-2.12-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to util-linux-2.12. d/distcc-2.10-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to distcc-2.10. n/php-4.3.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to php-4.3.3. +--------------------------+ Sun Aug 24 14:39:37 PDT 2003 d/strace-4.4.98-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to strace-4.4.98. gnome/gnumeric-1.1.19-i486-1.tgz: Switched back to gnumeric-1.1.19 because the help system in gnumeric-1.1.20 does not work.

(thanks to Emanuele Vicentini for the report) To do anything with kpovmodeler, you'll first need to install POV-Ray from http://www.povray.org. xap/imagemagick-5.5.7_10-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to imagemagick-5.5.7_10. (this also needed a recompile against libexif-0.5.12, which was pointed out by Markus Stauffer) Removed old CUPS and JRE packages from /extra. (thanks, Petr) +--------------------------+ Tue Aug 19 19:12:45 PDT 2003 a/cups-1.1.19-i486-2.tgz: Moved some binaries and manpages to -cups and created symlinks to the old names to allow LPRng and CUPS to coexist. a/etc-5.1-noarch-4.tgz: Added an example /etc/printcap.new with no active entries (nobody uses a "line printer" in 2003, and the old default lp entry from BSD was causing problems with apsfilter). a/lprng-3.8.21-i486-2.tgz: Moved some binaries and manpages to -lprng and created symlinks to the old names to allow LPRng and CUPS to coexist. Removed old BSD /etc/printcap. Added /etc/rc.d/rc.lprng (chmod 644 by default). a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-29.tgz: In /etc/rc.d/rc.M, start LPRng through /etc/rc.d/rc.lprng instead of running lpd directly. Also in rc.M, start MySQL if /etc/rc.d/rc.mysqld is executable. In /etc/rc.d/rc.6, shutdown MySQL gracefully. ap/mysql-4.0.14-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mysql-4.0.14.

I'm happy to bring this back, as it was something that was included in the Slackware 1.00 release. It was because I needed a LISP interpreter for an AI class that I first got involved with Linux, and CLISP was the implementation I used. Speaking of which, it is now ten years to the day since the Slackware 1.00 release was announced on comp.os.linux. :-) If Slackware has helped you out over the years, it has been my pleasure. Thanks for a great decade! d/distcc-2.8-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to distcc-2.8. +--------------------------+ Tue Jul 15 10:42:58 PDT 2003 n/nfs-utils-1.0.4-i486-2.tgz: Fixed a bug in the new nfs-utils which can result in mountd crashing.

Will the real procps please stand up. ;-) After noticing Robert Love's post on lkml, I realized we've been using the wrong version of procps. This version seems considerably better, requiring only 1 of the 5 patches I usually apply to procps (I'm not a fan of the bold white text in 'top'). a/shadow-4.0.3-i386-7.tgz: /usr/sbin/adduser fixes (from Stuart Winter).

Added DEBUG= to the build line to eliminate .pine-debug* files, and added support for $HOME/.pine.pwd. (Thanks to Frédéric L. W. Meunier) n/sendmail-8.12.9-i386-2.tgz: Added features to sendmail.cf, supporting the following new configuration files in /etc/mail: domaintable, local-host-names, mailertable, trusted-users, and virtusertable. If there's not already an installed sendmail.cf, we use this new one by default -- there's no longer a selection menu, so UUCP people will have to install the UUCP .cf file from /usr/share/sendmail/ by hand. Added a Makefile to /etc/mail/ to assist with running makemap and newaliases. Thanks to Mike Wilson who suggested these improvements a while back. n/sendmail-cf-8.12.9-noarch-2.tgz: Rebuilt with new sendmail.cf and sendmail-slackware.mc. x/ttf-bitstream-vera-1.10-noarch-1.tgz: Added Bitstream Vera fonts. xap/xap/mozilla-1.3.1-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to Mozilla 1.3.1. extra/glibc-extra-packages/glibc-debug-2.3.1-i486-4.tgz: Patched, recompiled. (* Security fix *) extra/glibc-extra-packages/glibc-profile-2.3.1-i486-4.tgz: Patched, recompiled. (* Security fix *) Added the following test packages that we're not ready to merge in yet: testing/packages/gcc-3.3/gcc-3.3-i486-1.tgz: This is GCC 3.3, compiled for a minimum CPU target of i486. Why i486 and not i386? Because the shared C++ libraries in gcc-3.2.x will require 486 opcodes even when a 386 target is used (so we already weren't compatible with the i386 for Slackware 9.0 and nobody noticed :-). gcc-3.3 fixes this issue and allows you to build a 386 compiler, but the fix is done in a way that produces binaries that are not compatible with gcc-3.2.x compiled binaries and which suffer a performance hit. To retain compatibility with Slackware 9.0, we'll have to use i486 (or better) as the compiler target for gcc-3.3. Therefore, it is time to say goodbye to i386 support in Slackware. I've surveyed 386 usage online, and the most common thing I see people say when someone asks about running Linux on a 386 is to "run Slackware", but then they also usually go on to say "be sure to get an OLD version, like 4.0, before glibc, because it'll be more efficient." Now, if that's the general advice, then I see no reason to continue 386 support in the latest Slackware (and indeed it's no longer easily possible). People with 386 machines aren't going to have the hard drive space for Slackware 9.1 in any case. testing/packages/gcc-3.3/gcc-g++-3.3-i486-1.tgz testing/packages/gcc-3.3/gcc-g77-3.3-i486-1.tgz testing/packages/gcc-3.3/gcc-gnat-3.3-i486-1.tgz testing/packages/gcc-3.3/gcc-java-3.3-i486-1.tgz testing/packages/gcc-3.3/gcc-objc-3.3-i486-1.tgz testing/packages/glibc-2.3.2/glibc-2.3.2-i486-1.tgz: This is also compiled for a minimum target of i486 (the gcc-3.2.2 i486 compiler was used). Again, if the future plan is to drop support for i386 in the main version of Slackware, then we might as well start doing that soon. Note that this version of glibc fixes some bugs, and could be an interesting upgrade for Slackware 9.0 machines.

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. (* Security fix *) patches/packages/sendmail-cf-8.12.9-noarch-1.tgz: Updated config files for sendmail-8.12.9. +--------------------------+ Tue Mar 18 01:44:41 PST 2003 Slackware 9.0 is released... happy release day! bootdisks/*: 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.
