This fixes vulnerabilities including denial of service, or possibly the execution of arbitrary code as the user running a libxml2 linked application if untrusted XML content is parsed. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-4225 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-4226 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/m4-1.4.11-s390-1_slack10.0.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 *) patches/packages/mod_ssl-2.8.31_1.3.41-s390-1_slack10.0.tgz: Upgraded to mod_ssl-2.8.31-1.3.41 to work with apache_1.3.41. patches/packages/ntp-4.2.4p6-s390-1_slack10.0.tgz: [Sec 1111] Fix incorrect check of EVP_VerifyFinal()'s return value. For more information, see: https://lists.ntp.org/pipermail/announce/2009-January/000055.html http://www.ocert.org/advisories/ocert-2008-016.html http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-0021 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-5077 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/openssh-5.0p1-s390-1_slack10.0.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 *) patches/packages/rsync-2.6.9-s390-1_slack10.0.tgz: Patched some security bugs. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-4091 http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync-announce/2007/000050.html (* Security fix *) patches/packages/samba-3.0.33-s390-1_slack10.0.tgz: Upgraded to samba-3.0.33. This package fixes an important barrier against rogue clients reading from uninitialized memory (though no proof-of-concept is known to exist). For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-4314 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/xine-lib-1.1.11.1-s390-3_slack10.0.tgz: Recompiled, with --without-speex (we didn't ship the speex library in Slackware anyway, but for reference this issue would be CVE-2008-1686), and with --disable-nosefart (the recently reported as insecurely demuxed NSF format). As before in -2, this package fixes the two regressions mentioned in the release notes for xine-lib-1.1.12: http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=592185&group_id=9655 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/xpdf-3.02pl2-s390-1_slack10.0.tgz: Upgraded to xpdf-3.02pl2. The pl2 patch fixes a crash in xpdf. Some theorize that this could be used to execute arbitrary code if an untrusted PDF file is opened, but no real-world examples are known (yet). For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-3387 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-4352 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-5392 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-5393 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Mon Sep 24 00:36:56 EDT 2007 patches/packages/bind-9.2.8_P1-s390-1_slack10.0.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 *) patches/packages/openssh-4.7p1-s390-1_slack10.0.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 *) patches/packages/samba-3.0.26a-s390-1_slack10.0.tgz: Upgraded to samba-3.0.26a. This fixes a security issue in all Samba 3.0.25 versions: "Incorrect primary group assignment for domain users using the rfc2307 or sfu winbind nss info plugin." For more information, see: http://www.samba.org/samba/security/CVE-2007-4138.html http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-4138 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/tcpdump-3.9.7-s390-1_slack10.0.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 *) patches/packages/xpdf-3.02pl1-s390-1_slack10.0.tgz: Upgraded to xpdf-3.02pl1. This fixes an integer overflow that could possibly be leveraged to run arbitrary code if a malicious PDF file is processed.

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 *) patches/packages/samba-3.0.25a-s390-1_slack10.0.tgz: Upgraded to samba-3.0.25a. This fixes some major (non-security) bugs in samba-3.0.25. See the WHATSNEW.txt for details. patches/packages/xine-lib-1.1.6-s390-1_slack10.0.tgz: Upgraded to xine-lib-1.1.6. This fixes overflows in xine-lib in some little-used media formats in xine-lib < 1.1.5 and other bugs in xine-lib < 1.1.6. The overflows in xine-lib < 1.1.5 could definitely cause an application using xine-lib to crash, and it is theorized that a malicious media file could be made to run arbitrary code in the context of the user running the application.

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 *) +--------------------------+ Tue Apr 3 20:30:03 EDT 2007 patches/packages/bind-9.2.8-s390-1_slack10.0.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 *) patches/packages/fetchmail-6.3.6-s390-1_slack10.0.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-2006-6097 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/xine-lib-1.1.3-s390-1_slack10.0.tgz: Upgraded to xine-lib-1.1.3 which fixes possible security problems such as a heap overflow in libmms and a buffer overflow in the Real Media input plugin. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-2200 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Tue Nov 14 23:39:49 EST 2006 patches/packages/bind-9.2.6_P2-s390-1_slack10.0.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 *) +--------------------------+ Sat Nov 4 21:52:29 EST 2006 patches/packages/screen-4.0.3-s390-1_slack10.0.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 *) patches/packages/qt-3.3.3-s390-2_slack10.0.tgz: Patched. This fixes an issue with Qt's handling of pixmap images that causes Qt linked applications to crash if a specially crafted malicious image is loaded. Inspection of the code in question makes it seem unlikely that this could lead to more serious implications (such as arbitrary code execution), but it is recommended that users upgrade to the new Qt package.

See openssl package update below. (* Security fix *) patches/packages/openssh-4.4p1-s390-1_slack10.0.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.

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-s390-1_slack10.0.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).

This update addresses a denial of service vulnerability. BIND's CHANGES file says this: 2066. [security] Handle SIG queries gracefully. [RT #16300] The best discussion I've found is in FreeBSD's advisory, so here's a link: http://security.FreeBSD.org/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-06:20.bind.asc Also, fixed some missing man pages. (noticed by Xavier Thomassin -- thanks) (* Security fix *) patches/packages/bootshell-1.3-s390-2.tgz: Rebuilt bootshell as static, not dynamic. If your /usr file system isn't available, you still want to be able to log in to your system so you can fix it. ;) +--------------------------+ Sun Aug 27 14:04:47 EDT 2006 patches/packages/gnupg-1.4.5-s390-1_slack10.0.tgz: Upgraded to gnupg-1.4.5. From the gnupg-1.4.5 NEWS file: * Fixed 2 more possible memory allocation attacks. They are similar to the problem we fixed with 1.4.4. This bug can easily be be exploited for a DoS; remote code execution is not entirely impossible. (* Security fix *) patches/packages/libtiff-3.8.2-s390-1_slack10.0.tgz: Patched vulnerabilities in libtiff which were found by Tavis Ormandy of the Google Security Team. These issues could be used to crash programs linked to libtiff or possibly to execute code as the program's user. A low risk command-line overflow in tiffsplit was also patched.

From the announcement on httpd.apache.org: This version of Apache is security fix release only. An off-by-one flaw exists in the Rewrite module, mod_rewrite, as shipped with Apache 1.3 since 1.3.28, 2.0 since 2.0.46, and 2.2 since 2.2.0. The Slackware Security Team feels that the vast majority of installations will not be configured in a vulnerable way but still suggests upgrading to the new apache and mod_ssl packages for maximum security. For more details, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-3747 And see Apache's announcement here: http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/Announcement1.3.html (* Security fix *) patches/packages/mod_ssl-2.8.28_1.3.37-s390-1_slack10.0.tgz: Upgraded to mod_ssl-2.8.28-1.3.37. patches/packages/mutt-1.4.2.2i-s390-1_slack10.0.tgz: Upgraded to mutt-1.4.2.2i. This release fixes CVE-2006-3242, a buffer overflow that could be triggered by a malicious IMAP server. [Connecting to malicious IMAP servers must be common, right? -- Ed.] For more details, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-3242 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/samba-3.0.23-s390-2_slack10.0.tgz: Patched a problem in nsswitch/wins.c that caused crashes in the wins and/or winbind libraries. Thanks to Mikhail Kshevetskiy for pointing out the issue and offering a reference to the patch in Samba's source repository. Also, this version of Samba evidently created a new dependency on libdm.so (found in the xfsprogs package in non -current Slackware versions). This additional dependency was not intentional, and has been corrected. patches/packages/tcpip-0.17-s390-29c_slack10.0.tgz: Repatched the telnet client with the official OpenBSD patch that had already replaced the original security fix in Slackware 9.1, 10.2 and -current. Thanks to Dragan Simic for reporting the issue, and my apologies for taking so long to address the insufficiencies of the original patch in Slackware 10.0 and 10.1. +--------------------------+ Sun Jul 16 17:07:16 EDT 2006 patches/packages/samba-3.0.23-s390-1_slack10.0.tgz: Upgraded to samba-3.0.23. This fixes a minor memory exhaustion DoS in smbd. The CVE entry for this issue may be found here: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-3403 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Sun Jul 2 19:34:29 EDT 2006 patches/packages/arts-1.2.3-s390-2_slack10.0.tgz: Patched to fix a possible exploit if artswrapper is setuid root (which, by default, it is not) and the system is running a 2.6 kernel.

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. Sendmail's complete advisory may be found here: http://www.sendmail.com/security/advisories/SA-200605-01.txt.asc Sendmail has also provided an FAQ about this issue: http://www.sendmail.com/security/advisories/SA-200605-01/faq.shtml The CVE entry for this issue may be found here: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-1173 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/sendmail-cf-8.13.7-noarch-1_slack10.0.tgz: Upgraded to sendmail-8.13.7 configs. +--------------------------+ Sat Jun 10 14:22:53 EDT 2006 patches/packages/apache-1.3.35-s390-2_slack10.0.tgz: Patched to fix totally broken Include behavior. Thanks to Francesco Gringoli for reporting this bug. 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-s390-1_slack10.0.tgz: Upgraded to mod_ssl-2.8.26-1.3.35. This is an updated version designed for Apache 1.3.35. patches/packages/mozilla-1.7.13-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to mozilla-1.7.13. This upgrade fixes several possible security bugs. For more information, see: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/known-vulnerabilities.html#mozilla This release marks the end-of-life of the Mozilla 1.7.x series: http://developer.mozilla.org/devnews/index.php/2006/04/12/sunset-announcement-for-fxtb-10x-and-mozilla-suite-17x/ Mozilla Corporation is recommending that users think about migrating to Firefox and Thunderbird. (* Security fix *) patches/packages/mozilla-plugins-1.7.13-noarch-1.tgz: Updated for mozilla-1.7.13. patches/packages/mysql-4.0.27-s390-1_slack10.0.tgz: Upgraded to mysql-4.0.27. This fixes some minor security issues with possible information leakage. Note that the information leakage bugs require that the attacker have access to an account on the database. Also note that by default, Slackware's rc.mysqld script does *not* allow access to the database through the outside network (it uses the --skip-networking option). If you've enabled network access to MySQL, it is a good idea to filter the port (3306) to prevent access from unauthorized machines. For more details, see the MySQL 4.0.27 release announcement here: http://lists.mysql.com/announce/359 For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-1516 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-1517 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Sun Apr 2 20:29:00 EST 2006 patches/packages/fetchmail-6.3.2-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to fetchmail-6.3.2. 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/gnupg-1.4.2.2-s390-1.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.

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.

For more details, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-3185 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Fri Dec 16 03:18:00 EST 2005 patches/packages/imapd-4.64-s390-1.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/koffice-1.3.1-s390-3.tgz: Patched. Fixes a buffer overflow in KWord's RTF import discovered by Chris Evans. For more details, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-2971 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/openssl-0.9.7d-s390-2.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-s390-2.tgz: Patched. (* Security fix *) patches/packages/pine-4.64-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to pine-4.64. patches/packages/x11-6.7.0-s390-3.tgz: Patched a pixmap overflow issue. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-2495 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/x11-xnest-6.7.0-s390-3.tgz: Patched and rebuilt. patches/packages/x11-xprt-6.7.0-s390-3.tgz: Patched and rebuilt. patches/packages/x11-xvfb-6.7.0-s390-3.tgz: Patched and rebuilt. patches/packages/xine-lib-1.0.3a-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to xine-lib-1.0.3a. This fixes a format string bug where an attacker, if able to upload malicious information to a CDDB server and then get a local user to play a certain audio CD, may be able to run arbitrary code on the machine as the user running the xine-lib linked application. For more information, see: http://xinehq.de/index.php/security/XSA-2005-1 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Thu Dec 15 03:14:00 EST 2005 patches/packages/apache-1.3.34-s390-1.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/dhcpcd-1.3.22pl4-s390-2.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 *) patches/packages/gaim-1.5.0-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to gaim-1.5.0. This fixes some more security issues.

For more information, see: http://www.kde.org/info/security/advisory-20050905-1.txt http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-2494 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/mozilla-1.7.12-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to mozilla-1.7.12. This fixes several security issues. For more information, see: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/known-vulnerabilities.html#Mozilla (* Security fix *) patches/packages/mozilla-plugins-1.7.12-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded Java(TM) symlink for Mozilla. patches/packages/pcre-6.3-s390-1.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-s390-3.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 *) patches/packages/util-linux-2.12a-s390-2.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 *) +--------------------------+ Sun Jul 31 23:28:19 EDT 2005 patches/packages/dnsmasq-2.22-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to dnsmasq-2.22. This fixes an off-by-one overflow vulnerability may allow a DHCP client to create a denial of service condition. Additional code was also added to detect and defeat attempts to poison the DNS cache. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-0876 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-0877 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/fetchmail-6.2.5.2-s390-1.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 *) patches/packages/gaim-1.3.1-s390-1.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 *) patches/packages/gxine-0.4.6-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to gxine-0.4.6. This fixes a format string vulnerability that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a ram file with a URL whose hostname contains format string specifiers. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-1692 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/infozip-5.52-s390-1.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 *) patches/packages/kdenetwork-3.2.3-s390-2.tgz: Patched overflows in libgadu (used by kopete) that can cause a denial of service or arbitrary code execution. For more information, see: http://www.kde.org/info/security/advisory-20050721-1.txt (* Security fix *) patches/packages/mozilla-1.7.10-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to mozilla-1.7.10. This fixes several security issues. For more information, see: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/known-vulnerabilities.html#Mozilla (* Security fix *) Fixed a folder switching bug. Thanks to Peter Santoro for pointing out the patch. patches/packages/mozilla-plugins-1.7.10-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded Java(TM) symlink for Mozilla. patches/packages/ncftp-3.1.9-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to ncftp-3.1.9. This corrects a vulnerability where a download from a hostile FTP server might be written to an unintended location potentially compromising system security or causing a denial of service. For more details, see: http://www.ncftp.com/ncftp/doc/changelog.html#3.1.5 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/php-4.3.11-s390-2.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 *) patches/packages/sudo-1.6.8p9-s390-1.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 *) patches/packages/tcpdump-3.9.3-s390-1.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/tcpip-0.17-s390-2.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 *) patches/packages/xine-lib-1.0.1-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to xine-lib-1.0.1. This fixes some bugs in the MMS and Real RTSP streaming client code. While the odds of this vulnerability being usable to a remote attacker are low (but see the xine advisory), if you stream media from sites using these protocols (and you think the sites might be "hostile" and will try to hack into your xine client), then you might want to upgrade to this new version of xine-lib. Probably the other fixes and enchancements in xine-lib-1.0.1 are a better rationale to do so, though. For more details on the xine-lib security issues, see: http://xinehq.de/index.php/security/XSA-2004-8 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/xine-ui-0.99.3-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to xine-ui-0.99.3. patches/packages/xv-3.10a-s390-2.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 *) patches/packages/zlib-1.2.3-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to zlib-1.2.3. This fixes an additional crash not fixed by the patch to zlib-1.2.2. (* Security fix *) Patched an overflow in zlib that could cause applications using zlib to crash. The overflow does not involve user supplied data, and therefore does not allow the execution of arbitrary code. However, it could still be used by a remote attacker to create a denial of service.

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/python-2.3.5-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to python-2.3.5. 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."

More information http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-1014 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/php-4.3.10-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to php-4.3.10 A theorietical vulnerability exists in older versions of libgd that could allow a malicious user to upload a specially crafted image file to exploit an integer overflow. (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Tue Nov 9 21:31:52 EST 2004 patches/packages/apache-1.3.33-s390-1.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. Mention PHP's mhash dependency in httpd.conf (thanks to Jakub Jankowski). (* Security fix *) patches/packages/libtiff-3.7.0-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to libtiff-3.7.0. This fixes 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-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to mod_ssl-2.8.22_1.3.33. +--------------------------+ Thu Oct 28 22:03:51 EDT 2004 patches/packages/apache-1.3.32-s390-1.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-s390-1.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-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to php-4.3.9. +--------------------------+ Sun Oct 24 00:43:25 EDT 2004 patches/packages/gaim-1.0.2-s390-1.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 *) +--------------------------+ Wed Oct 13 14:56:33 EDT 2004 patches/packages/rsync-2.6.3-s390-1.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 Oct 4 16:27:18 EDT 2004 patches/packages/getmail-4.2.0-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to getmaii-4.2.0. Earlier versions contained a local security flaw when used in an insecure fashion (surprise, running something as root that writes to user-controlled files or directories could allow the old symlink attack to clobber system files! :-) From the getmail CHANGELOG: This vulnerability is not exploitable if the administrator does not deliver mail to the maildirs/mbox files of untrusted local users, or if getmail is configured to use an external unprivileged MDA. This vulnerability is not remotely exploitable. Most users would not use getmail in such as way as to be vulnerable to this flaw, but if your site does this package closes the hole. I'd also recommend not using getmail like this. Either run it as the user that owns the target mailbox, or deliver through an external MDA. (* Security fix *) patches/packages/zlib-1.2.2-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to zlib-1.2.2. This fixes a possible DoS in earlier versions of zlib-1.2.x. (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Tue Sep 21 01:44:00 EDT 2004 patches/packages/cups-1.1.21-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to cups-1.1.21. This fixes a flaw where a remote attacker can crash the CUPS server causing a denial of service. For more details, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0558 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/gtk+2-2.4.10-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to gtk+-2.4.10. This fixes security issues in the image loader routines that can crash applications. (* Security fix *) patches/packages/mozilla-1.7.3-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to mozilla-1.7.3. The Mozilla page says this fixes some "minor security holes". It also breaks Galeon and Epiphany, and new versions of these have still not appeared. In light of this, I think it's time to remove these Gecko-based browsers. The future is going to be Firefox and Thunderbird anyway, and I don't believe Galeon and Epiphany can be compiled against Firefox's libraries. (* Security fix *) patches/packages/mozilla-plugins-1.7.3-noarch-1.tgz: Changed plugin symlinks for Mozilla 1.7.3. patches/packages/xine-lib-1rc6a-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to xine-lib-1-rc6a.
