Mon Jan 5 14:17:15 CST 2009 patches/packages/samba-3.2.7-i486-1_slack12.2.tgz: Upgraded to samba-3.2.7. This fixes a security issue. From the WHATSNEW.txt file: "This is a security release in order to address CVE-2009-0022. o CVE-2009-0022 In Samba 3.2.0 to 3.2.6, in setups with registry shares enabled, access to the root filesystem ("/") is granted when connecting to a share called "" (empty string) using old versions of smbclient (before 3.0.28). The original security announcement for this and past advisories can be found http://www.samba.org/samba/security/" For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-0022 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Wed Dec 31 11:35:43 CST 2008 patches/packages/mozilla-thunderbird-2.0.0.19-i686-1.tgz: Upgraded to thunderbird-2.0.0.19. This upgrade fixes some more security bugs. For more information, see: http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/thunderbird20.html (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Fri Dec 26 22:45:51 CST 2008 patches/packages/seamonkey-1.1.14-i486-1_slack12.2.tgz: Upgraded to seamonkey-1.1.14. This release fixes some more security vulnerabilities. For more information, see: http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/seamonkey11.html (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Thu Dec 18 12:40:56 CST 2008 patches/packages/mkinitrd-1.3.3-i486-1_slack12.2.tgz: Fixed a few bugs in the previous mkinitrd package: If a kernel version is requested with the -k option and modules are needed to build the initrd, exit with an error if no matching /lib/modules/ tree is present. Usually an incorrect kernel version was supplied. Thanks to Eric Hameleers. When adding kernel modules to the initrd, be more verbose showing success and failure copying each module. Thanks to Ellington Santos. With some newer kernels, "/dev/root" might be returned by mount as the root device, but this will not work as an initrd root device. If mount returns /dev/root, look at the /dev/root symlink to determine the actual root device and use that so that the root device does not need to be supplied with -r. In the call to /sbin/modprobe used to determine module dependencies, use the option --ignore-install to avoid catching "install" lines under /etc/modprobe.d/ when modules that use these are added to the initrd. This prevents /sbin/modprobe from being copied over busybox, breaking the initrd. Thanks to Ken Milmore. patches/packages/mozilla-firefox-3.0.5-i686-1.tgz: Upgraded to firefox-3.0.5. This fixes some security issues: For more information, see: http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox30.html (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Tue Dec 9 00:00:23 CST 2008 Slackware 12.2 is released as -stable. Thanks as always to everyone who helped make this a great point release in the Slackware 12.x series. Without such a great community surrounding it, Slackware could not possibly be as stable and reliable as it is. Thanks to the Slackware Crew, the users of LinuxQuestions, people contributing ideas and patches on IRC and other Slackware forums, the developers at slackbuilds.org for bringing in new technologies, and everyone else who shared insights that helped to refine this release over many months. Happy release day to you all! :-) Also, ISOs have been sent off to the replicator now to be pressed as a 6 CD set or a single DVD. The store.slackware.com is taking pre-orders -- if you like Slackware, please consider supporting the project. We've also added new black T-shirts with the traditional Slackware logo. Check them out! Once again, thanks to the entire Slackware community for all the help and encouragement as Slackware 12.2 progressed to release. Have fun! -P. +--------------------------+ Mon Dec 8 22:31:55 CST 2008 x/xf86-video-intel-2.4.3-i486-2.tgz: Patched to fix BIOS parsing code and fix some Intel and i830 video chipsets. kernels/speakup.s/: Fixed missing filesystem drivers. isolinux/initrd.img: Added missing mount.nfs. Added INSSMB, an installer script to use a Samba source. Thanks to Eric Hameleers. usb-and-pxe-installers/: Added missing mount.nfs. Added INSSMB, an installer script to use a Samba source. Thanks to Eric Hameleers. +--------------------------+ Mon Dec 8 04:47:49 CST 2008 n/php-5.2.8-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to php-5.2.8. This is a bugfix release that reverts a change that broke magic_quotes_gpc. +--------------------------+ Sun Dec 7 23:14:42 CST 2008 n/network-scripts-12.2-noarch-4.tgz: Patched rc.inet1 to filter output from "modprobe -c" that begins with #, preventing spurious error messages. Thanks to Darrell Anderson. +--------------------------+ Sun Dec 7 20:51:39 CST 2008 kde/kdeadmin-3.5.10-i486-4.tgz: Updated the knetworkconf patch to handle the domain name better, and to retain the correct permissions on rc.samba. Thanks to Niels Horn for the improvements. l/dbus-1.2.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to dbus-1.2.6. l/dbus-glib-0.78-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to dbus-glib-0.78. l/hal-0.5.11-i486-3.tgz: Modified hal.conf to use the plugdev group correctly. l/libgphoto2-2.4.3-i486-3.tgz: Added README.jl2005a. Although the driver for this proprietary chipset is not built by default, the README is useful to let people know why that is (and perhaps as a warning to steer clear of these cameras unless you happen to be an expert in reverse engineering compression formats). +--------------------------+ Sun Dec 7 01:37:48 CST 2008 a/hdparm-9.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to hdparm-9.3. ap/man-pages-3.15-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to man-pages-3.15. kde/kdeadmin-3.5.10-i486-3.tgz: Patched knetworkconf (KDE Control Center Network Settings) to be able to configure network interfaces. Previously, knetworkconf would say that the system was not supported and refuse to work since it considered only up to Slackware 10.2 supported. By simply adding Slackware 11.0, 12.0, 12.1, and 12.2 to the supported version list, this utility works again. However, it can strip commented out options from the rc.inet1.conf config file, and can put options into the file in a confusing order, so it is still not the optimal way to configure a network. Still, it's better to have this working. Thanks to Niels Horn for writing the patch, and Darrell Anderson for letting me know about it. l/libgphoto2-2.4.3-i486-2.tgz: Restore README files for camera libraries that were not previously included. A pointer to the API documentation has also been added to the docs directory. Thanks to Theodore Kilgore for pointing out the usefulness of these documentation files to end users. n/network-scripts-12.2-noarch-3.tgz: Allow rc.inet1.conf to override MAXNICS value in rc.inet1. Thanks to Eric Hameleers. Added rc.inet1.8 and rc.inet1.conf.5 manpages. Thanks to Eric Hameleers. Removed duplicated code in rc.inet1 default case. Thanks to Collin Baillie. xap/pidgin-2.5.2-i486-3.tgz: Patched to accept certificates signed with rsa-md5. Other SSL libraries accept this, so GnuTLS should as well. extra/wicd/wicd-1.5.6-noarch-2.tgz: Change usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/55wicd to chmod 644 by default to avoid interference with suspend. +--------------------------+ Fri Dec 5 20:58:39 CST 2008 ap/ghostscript-8.63-i486-2.tgz: Patched to remove a dependency on the experimental cairo output driver, which brings in dependencies on many X libraries. Thanks to Marin Glibic for the bug report and link to the upstream patch. ap/gutenprint-5.2.2-i486-3.tgz: Edited setup.06.gutenprint, which still had the old path to the PPD files. Thanks to Markus Kanet. ap/pm-utils-1.2.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to pm-utils-1.2.3. xap/gftp-2.0.19-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gftp-2.0.19. isolinux/initrd.img: Added probe for e1000e and r8169 network chipsets. usb-and-pxe-installers/: Added probe for e1000e and r8169 network chipsets. +--------------------------+ Thu Dec 4 23:01:59 CST 2008 ap/slackpkg-2.70.5-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to slackpkg-2.70.5-noarch-1. Thanks to Piter Punk. l/jre-6u11-i586-1.tgz: Upgraded to Java(TM) 2 Platform Standard Edition Runtime Environment Version 6.0 update 11. n/php-5.2.7-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to php-5.2.7. In addition to improvements and bug fixes, this new version of PHP also addresses several security issues, including: Fixed a crash inside gd with invalid fonts (Fixes CVE-2008-3658). Fixed a possible overflow inside memnstr (Fixes CVE-2008-3659). Fixed security issues detailed in CVE-2008-2665 and CVE-2008-2666. Crash with URI/file..php (filename contains 2 dots). (Fixes CVE-2008-3660). rfc822.c legacy routine buffer overflow. (Fixes CVE-2008-2829). Fixed extraction of zip files or directories when the entry name is a relative path: http://www.sektioneins.de/advisories/SE-2008-06.txt These are the URLs to get more information: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-2665 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-2666 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-2829 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-3658 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-3659 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-3660 http://www.sektioneins.de/advisories/SE-2008-06.txt (* Security fix *) extra/jdk-6/jdk-6u11-i586-1.tgz: Upgraded to Java(TM) 2 Platform Standard Edition Development Kit Version 6.0 update 11. extra/wicd/wicd-1.5.6-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to wicd-1.5.6. +--------------------------+ Wed Dec 3 19:41:59 CST 2008 a/udev-135-i486-2.tgz: Make DRI devices usable by anyone in group "video". n/network-scripts-12.2-noarch-2.tgz: Don't try to reset ipv4 parameters in rc.ip_forward unless /etc/sysctl.conf exists. isolinux/initrd.img: Added lsscsi and pciutils. usb-and-pxe-installers/: Added lsscsi and pciutils. We're still working on it until the CURRENT.WARNING vanishes... +--------------------------+ Tue Dec 2 23:34:03 CST 2008 While there are still some docs that need updating and probably a few more tweaks and updates here and there, everything is mostly in place for the next stable release, Slackware 12.2. The versions of major components like X and the kernel can be considered frozen. Anything major that we haven't done yet will probably wait for the release after this next one. As Slackware 12.2 is only a 0.1 version bump, we're trying to focus on making it better without causing instability or losing compatibility with Slackware 12.1 wherever possible. Invasive changes like the new X (that will require changes to xorg.conf) and merging KDE4 should probably wait for Slackware 13.0. We will call this batch Slackware 12.2 release candidate one. :-) a/aaa_base-12.2.0-noarch-1.tgz: Bumped /etc/slackware-version version number in preparation for a stable release, and updated the initial emails. a/aaa_elflibs-12.2.0-i486-1.tgz: Updated the initial "starter" library package to the latest versions in -current. a/genpower-1.0.5-i486-2.tgz: Patched genpowerfail to halt the machine during a power failure rather than causing it to reboot over and over. Thanks to Marin Mitov for the bug report. a/ntfs-3g-1.5130-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to ntfs-3g-1.5130. a/pciutils-2.2.10-i486-2.tgz: Updated pci.ids. a/sysvinit-scripts-1.2-noarch-26.tgz: Patched rc.M to start rc.wicd and rc.snmpd if those scripts are executable, and removed the reference to the old rc.hplip script. Also, modifed rc.K to shut down acpid using rc.acpid. Changed /proc/bus/usb mounting in rc.S to use the options from /etc/fstab if there is an entry for it there (thanks to Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi). a/udev-135-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to udev-135. a/usbutils-0.73-i486-3.tgz: Updated usb.ids. ap/alsa-utils-1.0.17-i486-2.tgz: Patched rc.alsa to use [[:blank:]] instead of [[:space:]] with tr, since the latter removes vertical whitespace and causes everything to be incorrectly listed on one line. Thanks to Ondrej Kubecka for the patch. l/hal-info-20081127-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to hal-info-20081127. n/ethtool-6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to ethtool-6. Evidently this has been out for some time -- thanks to Jan Rafaj for the notice. n/network-scripts-12.2-noarch-1.tgz: Removed the automatic DHCP timeout reduction in rc.inet1, since the kernel is not reliably returning correct information about that. If the default 30 second timeout is too long, it can be shortened in rc.inet1.conf. Patched rc.ip_forward to reapply any non-default ipv4 parameters after turning ipv4 forwarding on or off, as doing that clears them. Thanks to Mark. tcl/expect-5.44.1.11-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled. tcl/tcl-8.5.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to tcl-8.5.5. tcl/tk-8.5.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to tk-8.5.5. xap/audacious-1.5.1-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled to make sure newer libraries will work as expected. extra/brltty/brltty-3.10-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to brltty-3.10. extra/inn/inn-2.4.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to inn-2.4.5. extra/wicd/wicd-1.5.5-noarch-1.tgz: Added wicd-1.5.5. Thanks to Robby Workman. isolinux/initrd.img: Rebuilt removing some unneeded kernel modules. Thanks to Stuart Winter and Eric Hameleers. usb-and-pxe-installers/: Rebuilt removing some unneeded kernel modules. +--------------------------+ Mon Dec 1 01:21:52 CST 2008 ap/gutenprint-5.2.2-i486-2.tgz: Fixed PPD generation in install script. Thanks to Willy Sudiarto Raharjo. +--------------------------+ Sun Nov 30 22:15:32 CST 2008 a/sysvinit-scripts-1.2-noarch-25.tgz: Edited rc.S to clear temporary files better. Edited rc.M, rc.6, and rc.K to not output additional information when running accton, as the new binary already does that. a/udev-134-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to udev-134. Thanks to Piter Punk.

Thanks to Phillip Warner. n/wireless-tools-29-i486-4.tgz: Patched rc.wireless to take the interface down and retry if setting the mode fails. Thanks to Guan Xin. +--------------------------+ Sat Nov 29 14:21:53 CST 2008 a/lilo-22.8-i486-14.tgz: Fixed typo in liloconfig. a/udev-130-i486-2.tgz: Rebuilt including a new /etc/modprobe.d/uhci-hci to make sure that the ehci-hcd module is always loaded before uhci-hci. ap/lsscsi-0.21-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to lsscsi-0.21.

If you installed the previous package, you should chmod 755 your /etc/acpi/acpi_handler.sh. Thanks to Stuart Winter for pointing this out. +--------------------------+ Wed Nov 19 19:52:15 CST 2008 a/acpid-1.0.8-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to acpid-1.0.8. /etc/acpi/acpi_handler.sh will be installed as a .new with future upgrades, but since whatever version already installed on the system owns /etc/acpi/acpi_handler.sh, it will still be overwritten one more time when this update is installed. If you've customized your script, be sure to back it up before upgrading. a/mkinitrd-1.3.2-i486-4.tgz: Fixed a bug where unless -F was the first option given, other command line options would not override the contents of /etc/mkinitrd.conf as documented in the man page. Thanks to David Somero for the patch. l/libxml2-2.6.32-i486-2.tgz: Patched and recompiled. 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.

NOTE: These are some of the more important updates for X.Org. For the last several days we have been building and testing the very newest X updates, and it seems that the more intrusive updates are probably best left to develop until sometime after the coming -stable Slackware 12.2 release. Those will require a lot of testing and some things don't seem to be quite there yet. "X -configure" is hanging the console, DRI is not yet working on all the hardware tested, and the new xorg-server will render most existing xorg.conf files non-functional until several changes are made. extra/slacktrack/slacktrack-2.01-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to slacktrack-2.01. Thanks to Stuart Winter. +--------------------------+ Sat Nov 15 18:33:27 CST 2008 a/glibc-solibs-2.7-i486-16.tgz: Recompiled against Linux 2.6.27.6. a/glibc-zoneinfo-2.7-noarch-16.tgz: Rebuilt. a/kernel-firmware-2.6.27.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.27.6 firmware. a/kernel-generic-2.6.27.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.27.6. a/kernel-generic-smp-2.6.27.6_smp-i686-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.27.6. a/kernel-huge-2.6.27.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.27.6. a/kernel-huge-smp-2.6.27.6_smp-i686-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.27.6. a/kernel-modules-2.6.27.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.27.6. a/kernel-modules-smp-2.6.27.6_smp-i686-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.27.6. d/kernel-headers-2.6.27.6_smp-x86-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.27.6 headers. k/kernel-source-2.6.27.6_smp-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.27.6. l/glibc-2.7-i486-16.tgz: Recompiled against Linux 2.6.27.6. l/glibc-i18n-2.7-noarch-16.tgz: Rebuilt. l/glibc-profile-2.7-i486-16.tgz: Recompiled against Linux 2.6.27.6. l/svgalib_helper-1.9.25_2.6.27.6-i486-1.tgz: Recompiled for Linux 2.6.27.6. n/gnutls-2.6.2-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gnutls-2.6.2. The security fix in gnutls-2.6.1 had a flaw in cases where the certificate chain contained only one self-signed certificate. This update fixes the issue. n/net-snmp-5.4.2.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to net-snmp-5.4.2.1. This fixes a problem where a user with read access could cause snmpd to crash, resulting in a denial of service. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-4309 (* Security fix *) n/proftpd-1.3.1-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled. This seems to be picky about having an exact version of OpenSSL. Thanks to Adam Kennedy for the bug report. xap/mozilla-firefox-3.0.4-i686-1.tgz: Upgraded to firefox-3.0.4. This fixes some security issues: For more information, see: http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox30.html (* Security fix *) xap/seamonkey-1.1.13-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to seamonkey-1.1.13. This release fixes some more security vulnerabilities. For more information, see: http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/seamonkey11.html (* Security fix *) extra/linux-2.6.27.6-nosmp-sdk/: Updated SMP to no-SMP kernel source patch. isolinux/initrd.img: Rebuilt with newly compiled kernel modules. usb-and-pxe-installers/: Rebuilt usbboot.img with newly compiled kernel modules. +--------------------------+ Thu Nov 13 11:46:26 CST 2008 ap/acct-6.4pre1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to acct-6.4pre1 to support the new kernel accounting file format (and the older log formats). Thanks to Jan Rafaj for letting me know this needed an update and where to find it. ap/madplay-0.15.2b-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled. This fixes a problem (endian issue?) where madplay just outputs noise. Thanks to Jan Rafaj for the bug report. kde/kdepim-3.5.10-i486-4.tgz: Recompiled against bluez-libs and pilot-link. l/pilot-link-0.12.3-i486-6.tgz: Recompiled against bluez-libs-3.36. n/bluez-hcidump-1.42-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled against bluez-libs-3.36. n/bluez-libs-3.36-i486-2.tgz: Switched back to the BlueZ 3.x series. As the website says, "without support from the userspace these modules are useless." Well, it seems as if the userspace support for BlueZ 3.x is still much better than the support for 4.x, so we'll move back to these packages (recompiled) until the situation changes. Thanks to Tom Nardi for the detailed report concerning the usability of BlueZ 3.x versus BlueZ 4.x. n/bluez-utils-3.36-i486-4.tgz: Switched back to bluez-utils-3.36, with the udev rules moved into /lib/udev/rules.d/. n/obexftp-0.22-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled against openobex-1.3. n/openobex-1.3-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled against bluez-libs-3.36. n/slrn-0.9.9p1-i486-2.tgz: Fixed slack-desc to properly note that the original author, John E. Davis, is now maintaining slrn again. Thanks to Andrew Strong for pointing out this error. +--------------------------+ Mon Nov 10 19:19:50 CST 2008 n/gnutls-2.6.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gnutls-2.6.1. From the gnutls-2.6.1 NEWS file: ** libgnutls: Fix X.509 certificate chain validation error. [GNUTLS-SA-2008-3] The flaw makes it possible for man in the middle attackers (i.e., active attackers) to assume any name and trick GNU TLS clients into trusting that name. Thanks for report and analysis from Martin von Gagern .

This update fixes three vulnerabilities in the SGI image format filter, the texttops filter, and the HP-GL and HP-GL/2 plotter format filter. All three of these could result in a denial of service, and the plotter filter issue could possibly be used to execute code as the print spooler user.

Note that some drives that were previously seen as /dev/hd? might now show up as /dev/sd?, so be prepared for that possibility. This should only happen on machines that could have used libata with hd?=noprobe, but did not. The CONFIG_PATA_LEGACY (libata, /dev/sd?) is the default now for PATA controllers that require a generic driver. a/kernel-generic-smp-2.6.27.5_smp-i686-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.27.5. a/kernel-huge-2.6.27.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.27.5. a/kernel-huge-smp-2.6.27.5_smp-i686-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.27.5. a/kernel-modules-2.6.27.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.27.5. a/kernel-modules-smp-2.6.27.5_smp-i686-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.27.5. a/module-init-tools-3.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to module-init-tools-3.5. a/ntfs-3g-1.5012-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to ntfs-3g-1.5012. a/openssl-solibs-0.9.8i-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to openssl-0.9.8i. ap/cdparanoia-III_10.2-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to cdparanoia-III-10.2. ap/gphoto2-2.4.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gphoto2-2.4.3. ap/hplip-2.8.9-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to hplip-2.8.9. ap/lm_sensors-3.0.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to lm_sensors-3.0.3. ap/rpm-4.4.2.3-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled against neon-0.28.3. ap/sqlite-3.6.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to sqlite-3.6.4. d/binutils-2.18.50.0.9-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to binutils-2.18.50.0.9. d/cmake-2.6.2-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to cmake-2.6.2. d/git-1.6.0.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to git-1.6.0.3. d/intltool-0.40.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to intltool-0.40.5. d/kernel-headers-2.6.27.5_smp-x86-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.27.5 headers. d/m4-1.4.12-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to m4-1.4.12. d/subversion-1.5.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to subversion-1.5.4. k/kernel-source-2.6.27.5_smp-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.27.5. kde/kdebase-3.5.10-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled against the new libsensors.

Thanks to Robby Workman, Piter Punk, Eric Hameleers, and Stuart Winter for helping to update these packages! There are still various trivial fixes that need to happen in other packages, and other updates to consider as well. Now that we have a new kernel (with the TCP options ordering problem fixed), I hope there will be time soon to look at those things. +--------------------------+ Mon Oct 13 13:40:09 CDT 2008 a/glibc-solibs-2.7-i486-14.tgz: Recompiled. a/glibc-zoneinfo-2.7-noarch-14.tgz: Rebuilt using tzdata2008h for more DST fixes.

We are bumping the kernel within the 2.6.24.x series for now rather than leaping for 2.6.26.x immediately for sereral reasons. First, we know that it works within the existing framework, and the config files did not need major changes (only CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES was changed to =y for libcap support). Also, we know that the kernel headers are usable for compiling glibc, KDE, and several other important packages. Finally, we had to recompile the kernel anyway due to the GCC bump, and would rather not rush into 2.6.26.x. Finding the optimal .config files will not be trivial, speakup will need to be reevaluated, and so forth. But don't panic -- the goal is 2.6.26.x (or newer, if it proves stable). Testing here and throughout the Slackware community continues with the latest kernels, and so far things are looking good.

This an upgrade to a known stable GCC. The gcc-4.3.x branch is much more strict about source correctness, and many upstream sources would need to be patched in order to compile with it. Therefore, this is the logical next compiler to use until those issues are worked out upstream.

This fixes a security issue where group_mapping.ldb was accidentally chmod 666 (only in -current, as all previous Slackware versions use the Samba 3.0.x branch which is not affected). This build also adds the mount.smbfs wrapper script for mount.cifs, and a link to the wrapper from /usr/bin/smbmount. This may fix some of the issues that people were having mounting SMB filesystems. Note that SMBFS is considered obsolete now, and using mount.smbfs really isn't any different in function using the wrapper than using mount.cifs directly. For more information on the security issue, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-3789 (* Security fix *) Since this security issue only affects the unreleased development branch, (aka -current) this ChangeLog comment is the official notification. For those using older versions of Slackware, many of them got bugfix updates to the 3.0.x branch. Check the new packages out -- they should correct some stability issues. +--------------------------+ Thu Aug 28 15:11:39 CDT 2008 kde/koffice-1.6.3-i486-6.tgz: Patched KOffice to write ODT elements in the correct order according to specs.

An old patch was applied to kdenetwork making that build fail. Once that was fixed kdetoys (previously missing) built correctly. Perhaps it needed a header file or library from kdenetwork.

It was discovered that earlier versions of dnsmasq have DNS cache weaknesses that are similar to the ones recently discovered in BIND. This new release minimizes the risk of cache poisoning. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1447 (* Security fix *) testing/packages/jdk-6u10_beta-i586-1.tgz: Added Java(TM) 2 Platform Standard Edition Runtime Environment Version 6.0 update 10 beta. Evidently the version 6.0 update 7 (stable) packages did not fix the CUPS printing issue, but these beta packages should (but remember, they are BETA releases). testing/packages/jre-6u10_beta-i586-1.tgz: Added Java(TM) 2 Platform Standard Edition Development Kit Version 6.0 update 10 beta. Both of these Java(TM) packages are suitable for use on Slackware 12.1 and probably on earlier releases as well. +--------------------------+ Mon Jul 21 11:15:47 CDT 2008 xap/mozilla-firefox-3.0.1-i686-1.tgz: Upgraded to Firefox 3.0.1. This fixes some security issues: For more information, see: http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox30.html Also, thanks to Phillip Warner for providing a configuration fix to allow mailto: links to open in Thunderbird (or other mailers). To use this, you may need to copy /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1/defaults/profile/mimeTypes.rdf over your own mimeTypes.rdf under $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/{something}.default, or merge in the changes to your own mimeTypes.rdf. ( -current only ) (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Sat Jul 19 17:09:00 CDT 2008 l/jre-6u7-i586-1.tgz: Switched to Java(TM) 2 Platform Standard Edition Runtime Environment Version 6.0 update 7. This non-beta stable release should fix the printing issues with CUPS in the previous stable Java(TM) release. extra/jdk-6/jdk-6u7-i586-1.tgz: Switched to Java(TM) 2 Platform Standard Edition Development Kit Version 6.0 update 7. Both of these Java(TM) packages are suitable for use on Slackware 12.1 and probably on earlier releases as well. +--------------------------+ Wed Jul 16 17:30:36 CDT 2008 a/ntfs-3g-1.2712-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to ntfs-3g-1.2712. This has been compiled to use the internal FUSE library rather than the system FUSE library. The benefit of this is that if /bin/ntfs-3g is make setuid root, then non-root users can use it to mount NTFS partitions if /etc/fstab allows it. Also, this version of ntfs-3g would require the CVS version of external FUSE, so that helped make this an easy choice. a/util-linux-ng-2.14-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to util-linux-ng-2.14. x/mesa-7.0.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mesa-7.0.3. We've had a few reports that this new mesa version fixes some instability issues people were having with mesa-7.0.2. While it's not usually a good idea to run -current packages on older Slackware versions, this mesa package should be fully compatible with a patched-up Slackware 12.1 box. If mesa is causing issues for you, it might be worth a try. At worst you'd have to go back to the older package. When we make changes to the libraries or toolchain that would make -current break compatibility with Slackware 12.1, we will try to make note of it here. However, we don't always know what side effects or regressions an update may cause, but will do the best we can to offer a heads-up where possible. xap/seamonkey-1.1.11-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to Seamonkey 1.1.11. This release fixes some more security vulnerabilities. For more information, see: http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/seamonkey11.html (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Mon Jul 14 01:35:05 CDT 2008 a/e2fsprogs-1.41.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to e2fsprogs-1.41.0. n/dnsmasq-2.43-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to dnsmasq-2.43. +--------------------------+ Thu Jul 10 18:40:34 CDT 2008 d/nasm-2.03.01-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to nasm-2.03.01. x/compiz-0.7.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to compiz-0.7.6. x/xf86-video-ati-6.9.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to xf86-video-ati-6.9.0. x/xf86-video-mach64-6.8.0-i486-1.tgz: Added xf86-video-mach64-6.8.0. This can be used alone with driver type "mach64" in xorg.conf, or with type "ati" using both this package and the ati driver package as a wrapper. x/xf86-video-r128-6.8.0-i486-1.tgz: Added xf86-video-r128-6.8.0. This can be used alone with driver type "r128" in xorg.conf, or with type "ati" using both this package and the ati driver package as a wrapper. x/xf86-video-intel-2.3.2-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to xf86-video-intel-2.3.2. x/xf86-video-nv-2.1.10-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to xf86-video-nv-2.1.10. +--------------------------+ Wed Jul 9 20:48:22 CDT 2008 n/bind-9.4.2_P1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to bind-9.4.2-P1. This upgrade addresses a security flaw known as the CERT VU#800113 DNS Cache Poisoning Issue. This is the summary of the problem from the BIND site: "A weakness in the DNS protocol may enable the poisoning of caching recurive resolvers with spoofed data. DNSSEC is the only full solution. New versions of BIND provide increased resilience to the attack." It is suggested that sites that run BIND upgrade to one of the new packages in order to reduce their exposure to DNS cache poisoning attacks.

This updated package fixes bugs which can lead to a denial of service (DoS) in programs linked with GnuTLS. Thanks to Ossi Herrala and Jukka Taimisto from the CROSS project at Codenomicon Ltd. for finding and reporting the problems, and to Simon Josefsson and Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos for researching the issues and developing patches, and to Andreas Metzler for noting and reporting a problem with one of the original patches.

Congratulations to the Firefox people for the nice improvements, as well as such an impressive number of first-day downloads. :-) We didn't put this out yesterday, figuring it was better to let people download from them... +--------------------------+ Sat Jun 14 11:14:22 CDT 2008 slackware/l/jre-6u10_beta-i586-1.tgz: Upgraded to Java(TM) 2 Platform Standard Edition Runtime Environment Version 6.0 update 10 beta. This is a BETA VERSION and may contain problems, but it may also fix an issue with CUPS printing. If this fix is important to you, it may be worth giving this package a try at your own risk. For now, -current seems like the only prudent place for this package. Hopefully we will see official 6u10 releases soon. extra/jdk-6/jdk-6u10_beta-i586-1.tgz: Upgraded to Java(TM) 2 Platform Standard Edition Development Kit Version 6.0 update 10 beta.

Thanks to Eric Hameleers. xap/rdesktop-1.6.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to rdesktop-1.6.0. According to the rdesktop ChangeLog, this contains a: "* Fix for potential vulnerability against compromised/malicious servers (reported by iDefense)" This package build also includes the new alsa driver (--with-sound=alsa), though I couldn't get local sound redirection. Perhaps it was just my command line error though, so the driver remains included for testing.

This fixes a bug where the "x86" ARCH was not recognized in a package name, leading to the kernel-headers package not getting properly upgraded. Thanks to Piter Punk! -:) +--------------------------+ Wed May 7 16:13:31 CDT 2008 n/php-5.2.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to PHP 5.2.6. This version of PHP contains many fixes and enhancements. Some of the fixes are security related, and the PHP release announcement provides this list: * Fixed possible stack buffer overflow in the FastCGI SAPI identified by Andrei Nigmatulin. * Fixed integer overflow in printf() identified by Maksymilian Aciemowicz. * Fixed security issue detailed in CVE-2008-0599 identified by Ryan Permeh. * Fixed a safe_mode bypass in cURL identified by Maksymilian Arciemowicz. * Properly address incomplete multibyte chars inside escapeshellcmd() identified by Stefan Esser. * Upgraded bundled PCRE to version 7.6 When last checked, CVE-2008-0599 was not yet open.

Without this valuable input, Slackware would be nowhere near what it is today. Special thanks to the CREW, to the people developing and testing for slackbuilds.org (where many of Slackware's future additions are first built and tested), and to everyone on linuxquestions.org, various #slackware or ##slackware IRC channels, other Slackware related web sites, and other places where the community shares their needs and concerns with the team. On behalf of everyone here, thanks. We think you'll enjoy this new release, and hope that you'll find it to be much more than 0.1 better than Slackware 12.0. ;-) Have fun! -P. extra/slackpkg/slackpkg-2.70.3-noarch-2.tgz: Updated the version in the slackpkg script from 2.70.2 to 2.70.3.
