Wed Dec 15 17:01:09 BRST 2004 patches/packages/a2ps-4.13b-i386-3.tgz: Rebuilt The GNU a2ps utility fails to properly sanitize filenames, which can be abused by a malicious user to execute arbitray commands with the privileges of the user running the vulnerable application. To know wheter your a2ps package is vulnerable, see the: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/11025 (* Security fix *) +------------------------+ Wed Dec 15 03:07:22 BRST 2004 patches/packages/nfs-utils-1.0.6-i486-3.tgz: Rebuilt Statd in nfs-utils 1.257 and earlier does not ignore the SIGPIPE signal, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (server process crash) via a TCP connection that is prematurely terminated. More information    http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-1014 (* Security fix *) +------------------------+ Fri Dec 10 15:05:59 BRST 2004 patches/packages/imagemagick-6.1.4_5-i486-2.tgz: Rebuilt The first version of imagemagick's pack cames with some "plus" libraries. This new package remove the "plus"es. Thanks solsTiCe d'Hiver to report this. +------------------------+ Wed Dec 08 10:18:54 BRST 2004 patches/packages/x11-*: Downgraded to patched x11-6.7.0 Version 6.8.1 had a problem making some temporary files. In current this is fixed making that files in rc.S. Plus, the 6.8.1 package don't had some freetype files. Now it's all ok! Thanks to all slackers!! You're great and are making a great job helping us! +------------------------+ Mon Dec 06 09:46:37 BRST 2004 patches/packages/imagemagick-6.1.4_5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to imagemagick-6.1.4_5 Buffer overflow in the EXIF parsing routine in ImageMagick before 6.1.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a certain image file. http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0981 (* Security fix *) +------------------------+ Mon Nov 29 12:44:23 BRST 2004 patches/packages/lvm-1.0.8-i486-2.tgz: Rebuilt A bug in lvm (1.5 through 2.1) allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack on temporary files. http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0972 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/imlib-1.9.15-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to imlib-1.9.15 Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the imlib BMP image handler allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted BMP file. http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0817 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/libxml2-2.6.16-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to libxml2-2.6.16 Multiple buffer overflows may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. 2.6.12 and 2.6.13 are affected, it's unsure if older versions are affected as well, you may want to upgrade to to libxml2 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0989 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/x11*6.8.1-i486-2.tgz: Upgraded to X.Org's X11R6.8.1 release. The XPM library which is part of the XFree86/XOrg project is used by several GUI applications to process XPM image files, so it seemed like a good idea to rebuild. For more details, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0914 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0687 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0688 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0692 (* Security fix *) Note that the name of the keyboard driver in the xorg.conf file has changed from "Keyboard" to "kbd". You'll need to make this change in order to start X. +------------------------+ Wed Nov 24 15:41:34 BRST 2004 patches/packages/sudo-1.6.8p4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to sudo-1.6.8p4. This fixes a bug that may could permit malicious users with permission to run a shell script that uses the bash shell to run arbitrary commands. For more details, see: http://www.sudo.ws/sudo/alerts/bash_functions.html http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-1051 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/j2sdk-1_4_2_06-i586-2.tgz: Upgraded to j2sdk-1_4_2_06. Remote exploitation of a design vulnerability in Sun Microsystems Inc.'s Java Plug-in technology allows attackers to bypass the Java sandbox and all security restrictions imposed within Java Applets. For more details, see: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-1029 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/samba-3.0.9-i486-1.tgz: Upgrade to samba-3.0.9-i486-1. A possible buffer overrun in smbd could lead to code execution by a remote user. For more details, see: http://samba.cdpa.nsysu.edu.tw/samba/news/#can-2004-0882 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0882 (* Security fix *) +------------------------+ Thu Nov 18 19:04:09 BRST 2004 The community recently knew that Patrick will be absent to take care of his health. Bruno Henrique Collovini (aka Buick Sk), Ernani Azevedo (aka Azevedo, Man Slackpacks), and Roberto Freire Batista (aka Piter Punk) from GUS-BR Community will be keeping this fork ONLY with bugfixes for the Slackware while Patrick is out. Patrick had problems in order access slackware.com, and agree using slackware.org.br as a Security Fixes repository to Slackware Stable and Current as well. More information and Patrick Volkerding trust about this could be found here: (http://www.slackware.org.br/patrick-17-nov-2004-email.txt) The GUS-BR Security Team GPG key can be found here: (http://www.slackware.org.br/gus-br-key) or (ftp://ftp.slackware.org.br/pub/slackware/slackware-current-mr/GUS-BR_GPG-KEY) We really enjoy help from everyone!! Patrick! We go to keep the round Slackware until coming back of your vacations. ;) +------------------------+ Sun Oct 31 19:20:49 PST 2004 patches/packages/apache-1.3.33-i486-1.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-i486-1.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-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mod_ssl-2.8.22_1.3.33. +--------------------------+ Mon Oct 25 16:36:28 PDT 2004 patches/packages/apache-1.3.32-i486-1.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-i486-1.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-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to php-4.3.9. +--------------------------+ Fri Oct 22 16:26:38 PDT 2004 patches/packages/gaim-1.0.2-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gaim-1.0.2 and gaim-encryption-2.32. A buffer overflow in the MSN protocol handler for GAIM 0.79 to 1.0.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and may allow the execution of arbitrary code. For more details, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0891 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Mon Oct 11 19:32:39 PDT 2004 patches/packages/rsync-2.6.3-i486-1.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 11:54:19 PDT 2004 patches/packages/getmail-4.2.0-noarch-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-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to zlib-1.2.2. This fixes a possible DoS in earlier versions of zlib-1.2.x. (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Sun Sep 19 18:28:24 PDT 2004 patches/packages/cups-1.1.21-i486-1.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-i486-1.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-i486-1.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-i686-1.tgz: Upgraded to xine-lib-1-rc6a. This release fixes a few overflows that could have security implications. (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Mon Sep 13 17:07:20 PDT 2004 patches/packages/samba-3.0.5-i486-3.tgz: Patched two Denial of Service vulnerabilities in samba-3.0.5.

Thanks to those who reported this bug, especially Ricardo Nabinger Sanchez who sent in a sample thread program that made it easy to test for the problem (and confirm the fix worked). patches/packages/glibc-solibs-2.3.2-i486-7.tgz: Recompiled using 'strip -g'. patches/packages/kdebase-3.2.3-i486-2.tgz: Patched frame injection vulnerability in Konqueror.

Also, gaim-encryption-2.29 did not work with gaim-0.82 (or 0.82.1), so that has been upgraded to gaim-encryption-2.30. +--------------------------+ Thu Aug 26 17:14:09 PDT 2004 patches/packages/gaim-0.82-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gaim-0.82 and gaim-encryption-2.29. Fixes several security issues: Content-length DOS (malloc error) (no CAN ID on this one) MSN strncpy buffer overflow (CAN-2004-0500) Groupware message receive integer overflow (CAN-2004-0754) Smiley theme installation lack of escaping (CAN-2004-0784) RTF message buffer overflow, Local hostname resolution buffer overflow, URL decode buffer overflow (these 3 are CAN-2004-0785) For more details, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0500 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0754 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0784 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0785 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Mon Aug 23 12:12:58 PDT 2004 patches/packages/qt-3.3.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to qt-3.3.3. This fixes bugs in the image loading routines which could be used by an attacker to run unauthorized code or create a denial-of-service.

(* Security fix *) patches/packages/libpng-1.2.5-i486-3.tgz: Patched possible security issues including buffer and integer overflows and null pointer references. These issues could cause program crashes, or possibly allow arbitrary code embedded in a malicious PNG image to execute. The PNG library is widely used within the system, so all sites should upgrade to the new libpng package. For more details, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0597 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0598 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0599 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Mon Jul 26 14:10:01 PDT 2004 patches/packages/samba-3.0.5-i486-2.tgz: Rebuilt using --with-acl-support=no to avoid a dependency on libattr (found in the xfsprogs package). Thanks to Fredrik, Naresh Donti, and Dimitar Katerinski for pointing this out. It wasn't intentional (only the version number changed in the build script). +--------------------------+ Sun Jul 25 14:17:29 PDT 2004 patches/packages/mod_ssl-2.8.19_1.3.31-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mod_ssl-2.8.19-1.3.31. This fixes a security hole (ssl_log() related format string vulnerability in mod_proxy hook functions), so sites using mod_ssl should upgrade to the new version.

Added /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware directory. Quieted some of the error logging about modules that couldn't be loaded, though modprobe still produces a few of these even with -q. a/kernel-ide-2.4.26-i486-4.tgz: Patched local DoS (CAN-2004-0554). Without this patch to asm-i386/i387.h a local user can crash the kernel.

Note that this package shouldn't be upgraded... it's only meant for the initial installation. Reinstalling it can overwrite newer libraries. a/bin-9.2.0-i486-1.tgz: Added /sbin/rescan-scsi-bus, useful for activating USB storage devices. (thanks to Lincoln Stein) Made rpm2tgz more portable, more secure on machines without mcookie (all Slackware boxes should have this), and able to handle RPM files that use bzip2 compression without requiring rpm2cpio. Thanks to q# for the patch. Also made rpm2tgz less verbose (except for errors). a/cxxlibs-5.0.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to libstdc++.so.5.0.6 from gcc-3.3.4. No longer includes libstdc++.so.6 from gcc-3.4.0 -- this is pointless since it won't work without the libgcc_s.so.1 from that version of gcc, and we can't include that (the version in the gcc package would copy over it if we tried). A possible solution would be for gcc to use unique library versions for libgcc_s.so instead of making them all .so.1. a/kernel-ide-2.4.26-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled with gcc-3.3.4. a/kernel-modules-2.4.26-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled with gcc-3.3.4. a/udev-026-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to udev-026.

This should only be used if you need to compile a driver that needs it. For general compiling the 2.4.26 kernel-headers package is a better match with glibc. testing/packages/linux-2.6.6/kernel-source-2.6.6-noarch-1.tgz: Added a Linux 2.6.6 source package. +--------------------------+ Mon Jun 7 20:59:24 PDT 2004 gnome/gcalctool-4.4.8-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gcalctool-4.4.8. gnome/gnome-icon-theme-1.2.3-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to gnome-icon-theme-1.2.3. gnome/totem-0.99.12-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to totem-0.99.12. n/elm-2.5.7-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to elm2.5.7. n/proftpd-1.2.9-i486-3.tgz: Patched to fix broken ACL implementation. Without this patch the ACLs with CIDR entries will not work. See http://bugs.proftpd.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2267 for details. Because this bug is relatively low-risk and because it has only existed in Slackware in the unstable -current tree, this ChangeLog entry will be the only security advisory issued for this flaw.

This uses a new major shared library version number (.so.3), so all libcurl linked programs will need to be recompiled. n/inetd-1.79s-i486-5.tgz: Recompiled, fixed tftpd example in inetd.conf. n/nfs-utils-1.0.6-i486-2.tgz: rc.nfsd: when checking for NFS shares in /etc/exports, skip lines that are commented out. n/tcpip-0.17-i486-27.tgz: Merged in changes to rc.inet1 to add wireless support and per-interface start/stop/restart (thanks to Eric Hameleers). In rc.inet2, filter out lines starting with '#' when checking /etc/fstab for nfs and smbfs partitions (thanks to Stuart Winter). Added nameif (thanks to Tomas Szepe for pointing out its absence). Upgraded to whois_4.6.14. Removed pcnfsd and bwnfsd. n/wireless-tools-26-i486-3.tgz: Moved wireless tools into /sbin. Added /etc/rc.d/rc.wireless and /etc/rc.d/rc.wireless.conf for setting up non-PCMCIA wireless interfaces (thanks to Eric Hameleers). xap/imagemagick-6.0.2-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to ImageMagick-6.0.2, which builds shared libraries _just fine_. The problem I was having with this before was likely caused by Slackware using newer autoconf/ automake/libtool versions than were used in the ImageMagick sources. ImageMagick-6.0.2 uses the latest versions of these, *and* has a lot of other improvements over the 5.5.x series. Thanks to ImageMagick's John Cristy for cluing me in. xap/xine-ui-0.99.1-i686-2.tgz: Recompiled against libcurl.so.3. pasture/pcnfsd-93.02.16-i486-1.tgz: Removed pcnfsd from the tcpip package, and recompiled it using a fixed diff from Mark Post. +--------------------------+ Sat Jun 5 22:12:30 PDT 2004 n/yptools-2.8-i486-6.tgz: Fixed missing ypserv tools in /usr/lib/yp.

The recompile also fixes some PerlMagick crashes (reported by bren). Oh, and if you're wondering why I'm not using a newer ImageMagick it's because newer ones don't generate properly named shared libraries on Linux. Anyone got a patch? +--------------------------+ Sat Jun 5 00:21:39 PDT 2004 ap/mdadm-1.6.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mdadm-1.6.0. ap/rzip-2.0-i486-2.tgz: Fixed slack-desc typo, stripped binary. d/clisp-2.33.2-i486-1.tgz Upgraded to clisp-2.33.2. n/php-4.3.7-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to php-4.3.7. Thanks to DaMouse for the nifty trick to get INSTALL_ROOT working. +--------------------------+ Wed Jun 2 11:29:58 PDT 2004 a/lilo-22.5.9-i486-2.tgz: Patched liloconfig to label any detected FAT or NTFS partitions "Windows", not "DOS". This is a better guess in 2004. a/pkgtools-9.2.0-i486-2.tgz: Removed sample XF86Config files and xfree86setup script. Fixed root:bin owner on xorgsetup script. ap/man-pages-1.64-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to man-pages-1.64. ap/rzip-2.0-i486-1.tgz: Added rzip-2.0 (suggested by Daniel de Kok). n/apache-1.3.31-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled with EAPI patch from new mod_ssl. If /usr/sbin/apachectl is a link to mod_ssl's apachectl, do not replace it. n/mod_ssl-2.8.18_1.3.31-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mod_ssl-2.8.18-1.3.31. This fixes a buffer overflow that may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a client certificate with a long subject DN, if mod_ssl is configured to trust the issuing CA: *) Fix buffer overflow in "SSLOptions +FakeBasicAuth" implementation if the Subject-DN in the client certificate exceeds 6KB in length. For more details, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0488 (* Security fix *) Other changes: Make the sample keys .new so as not to overwrite existing server keys. However, any existing mod_ssl package will have these listed as non-config files, and will still remove and replace these upon upgrade. You'll have to save your config files one more time... sorry). n/php-4.3.6-i486-4.tgz: Recompiled with c-client.a in /usr/local/lib/c-client/ to fix a problem in previous php packages where linking against the library in a path under /tmp caused an ELF rpath to this location to be built into the PHP binaries. A local attacker could (by placing shared libraries in this location) either crash PHP or cause arbitrary code to be executed as the PHP user (typically "nobody"). Thanks to Bryce Nichols for discovering this issue and bringing it to my attention. (* Security fix *) Added --enable-wddx option (suggested by Lorenzo Tomei). Linked with the system libexpat rather than the internal one. Added --enable-pcntl --enable-sigchild for the CLI version of PHP. (suggested by Tobias Poschwatta and Aron Rosenberg) x/x11-6.7.0-i486-3.tgz: Patched xorgconfig to contain a correct path to the XKB rules files, include the glx module, and add the TTF and cyrillic font directories to the default font path. Thanks to Darth Apocalypsis for reporting the problems. xap/gaim-0.78-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gaim-0.78. +--------------------------+ Mon May 31 17:49:49 PDT 2004 a/kernel-ide-2.4.26-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled without LDM partition support. ap/mc-4.6.0-i486-4.tgz: Fixed broken php syntax file. Thanks to Firman Pribadi and Georgi Chorbadzhiyski for reporting the bug. d/kernel-headers-2.4.26-i386-2.tgz: These have been updated to reflect the changed LDM partition support config option. k/kernel-source-2.4.26-noarch-2.tgz: Removed experimental LDM support from .config since it doesn't seem useful to most people yet (searching online isn't turning up much use), and simply to get rid of all the "disk read failed" messages it was emitting. n/lftp-3.0.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to lftp-3.0.5. bootdisks/*: Rebuilt from new kernels. extra/slacktrack/slacktrack-1.20-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to slacktrack-1.20_1. isolinux/initrd.img, rootdisks/install.*: Detect NTFS partitions properly (I think it's safe to say at this point that NTFS has beaten HPFS over ownership of the 07 partition id). Set $HOME in /etc/profile where it will actually stick. kernels/*: Recompiled without LDM. testing/packages/linux-2.6.6/kernel-generic-2.6.6-i486-3.tgz: No LDM. +--------------------------+ Sun May 30 14:29:48 PDT 2004 ap/joe-3.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to joe-3.1. Now with Klingon support! ;-) isolinux/initrd.img, rootdisks/install.*: Move LUN scan down a little farther in rc.S where we've got a better grep. This should fix installing from a USB or IEEE1394 device when the LUN != 0. +--------------------------+ Sun May 30 01:06:39 PDT 2004 a/bin-9.0.0-i486-3.tgz: Don't link fsck.reiserfs to /bin/true. a/infozip-5.51-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded unzip to version 5.51. a/kbd-1.12-i486-2.tgz: Added support for euro character to nl.map.

Removed unmaintained yps and ypmake. x/: Switched to X11R6.7.0 from X.Org. Thanks to those who sent comments to x@slackware.com. Seems the community has spoken, because the opinions were more than 4 to 1 in favor of using the X.Org release as the default version of X. I think I've heard just about every side to this issue now, and it was only after careful consideration and testing that this decision was made. It's primarily (as is usual around here) a technical decision. Nearly everyone else is going with X.Org and it seems to me that sticking with XFree86 it spite of this would be asking for compatibility trouble (indeed, we saw some issues between X.Org and XFree86 4.4.0 until a few things in XFree86 were patched). I also noticed that the ATI Radeon binary drivers designed for XFree86 4.3.0 do not work with XFree86 4.4.0, but do work with the X.Org release. Something I'm *not* in favor of is dragging around two nearly identical projects, so XFree86 4.4.0 has been moved to the /pub/slackware/unsupported/ directory on the FTP site. I'd like to take this moment to thank the XFree86 Project for all the truly amazing work they've done all these years, and to wish the project the best of luck. Slackware owes the XFree86 Project a debt of gratitude and will always include the XFree86 acknowledgement, even if we are no longer shipping XFree86. xap/sane-1.0.14-i486-2.tgz: Installed hotplug scripts. (thanks to Helmut Schmid :-) isolinux/initrd.img, rootdisks/install.*: Added support for installing from USB or IEEE1394 CD/DVD drives. Fixed full installation size estimate (thanks to Karl Magnus and Erik Jan Tromp). Set HOME=/root for install. Fixed install support for bareacpi.i. (thanks to Miha Verlic) testing/packages/linux-2.6.6/alsa-driver-1.0.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to alsa-driver-1.0.5, compiled for a kernel using 8K stacks. testing/packages/linux-2.6.6/kernel-generic-2.6.6-i486-2.tgz: Removed 4KSTACKS option and recompiled. The rationale is that for now we need to be compatible with things like the nVidia binary driver that will be broken with 4KSTACKS until they are fixed, so we should stick with 8K stacks for a while longer. It appears that the de facto standard options for production kernels in other distributions will be 4KSTACKS and no preempt, and that's what Slackware should eventually use too if we want compatibility with binary modules that are compiled for those systems. testing/packages/linux-2.6.6/kernel-modules-2.6.6-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled. Note that these modules are binary incompatible with the last set, so if you're using an initrd you'll have to rebuild it. Make sure you load the loop module before installing this package, or you might find yourself unable to rebuild the initrd... +--------------------------+ Thu May 27 16:09:36 PDT 2004 a/procps-3.2.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to procps-3.2.1. a/util-linux-2.12a-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to util-linux-2.12a.

Here is some work in progress. :-) It might be good for it to stay out of the installer until after the next release, actually. By then any drive geometry or other issues will be worked out... It's working great here, though, and is now very well supported in the init scripts (and I've even run / on LVM). testing/packages/linux-2.6.6/alsa-driver-1.0.4-i486-2.tgz: Added ALSA driver package compiled for Linux 2.6.6. testing/packages/linux-2.6.6/kernel-generic-2.6.6-i486-1.tgz: Added a generic Linux 2.6.6 kernel. Generic means that it supports almost everything through modules, but a lot less than usual is built in. For example, the only built-in filesystem is ext2. If you want something better for your root filesystem, or you need to load SCSI or other drivers before mounting root, then you'll need to build an initrd (see the new mkinitrd package). You'll also need to add a line to your lilo.conf to load the initrd along with the kernel: initrd=/boot/initrd.gz testing/packages/linux-2.6.6/kernel-modules-2.6.6-i486-1.tgz: Added kernel modules for Linux 2.6.6. testing/packages/linux-2.6.6/mkinitrd-1.0.0-i486-1.tgz: Added a mkinitrd package (this was added for 2.6.x but should work with any kernel). +--------------------------+ Mon May 24 22:18:50 PDT 2004 a/glibc-solibs-2.3.2-i486-6.tgz: Recompiled against 2.4.26 kernel headers. a/glibc-zoneinfo-2.3.2-noarch-6.tgz: Rebuilt. Patched /usr/sbin/timeconfig to copy the timezone file to /etc/localtime instead of making that a link. This prevents problems caused by trying to set the clock when /usr is not yet mounted, as well as other problems caused by waiting until after /usr is mounted to set the clock. Set a /etc/localtime-copied-from symlink to show where the file is coming from. a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-44.tgz: Detect LVM2 by looking for /etc/lvm/backup/. (one more reason not to turn off metadata backups :-), also on shutdown don't try to use --ignorelockingfailure with LVM1. Support swap on LVM (thanks to Lucas Santos). Test for nohotplug before starting udev (thanks to Piter Punk). a/udev-025-i486-5.tgz: unset math function, not unalias (thanks LukenShiro). Check for existing devices or links before trying to make them. Add a couple of vmnet devices (suggested by Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi). ap/normalize-0.7.6-i486-1.tgz: Added normalize-0.7.6. l/glibc-2.3.2-i486-6.tgz: Recompiled. l/glibc-i18n-2.3.2-noarch-6.tgz: Rebuilt. xap/gnuplot-4.0.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gnuplot-4.0.0.

Build in support for lvm1 metadata (I wasn't able to migrate from lvm1 using vgconvert until this was built in, but possibly a setting in lvm.conf would also have worked). +--------------------------+ Sat May 22 23:27:56 PDT 2004 a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-43.tgz: Fix adding proc and sysfs to /etc/mtab. +--------------------------+ Sat May 22 22:46:49 PDT 2004 a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-42.tgz: Use /proc/mounts to detect a mounted sysfs.

Fix perms on misc/* devices (thanks to Stefano Vesa and /ismail). Add nVidia devices. Add /dev/loop0. Don't use expr in make_extra_nodes.sh (thanks to LukenShiro). Symlink v4l devices in /dev (thanks to Michele Mariottini). testing/packages/lvm2/device-mapper-1.00.17-i486-1.tgz: Added device-mapper-1.00.17. testing/packages/lvm2/lvm2-2.00.15-i486-1.tgz: Added LVM2.2.00.15. +--------------------------+ Fri May 21 01:39:02 PDT 2004 a/devs-2.3.1-noarch-21.tgz: Chgrp some devices to audio, video, or cdrom. a/etc-5.1-noarch-8.tgz: Add to /etc/group: audio(17), video(18), cdrom(19).

In rc.M: Power down monitor after one hour (Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi). Increase supported dmesg buffer size to 64K (Lech Szychowski). Support an /etc/rc.d/rc.hpoj if found (Marc A. Mironescu). In rc.6: Remove SGIVWS hwclock cruft. Use /proc/sys/kernel/random/poolsize for random_seed (Daniel de Kok). a/udev-025-i486-3.tgz: Moved make_extra_nodes into a separate script.

I considered checking it again later when the /etc/mtab entries are created, but we'll see if this does the trick first. Also, fix a typo where sysctl is checked for in /bin rather than /sbin (thanks to Tomasz Torcz for pointing that out). a/udev-025-i486-2.tgz: After refining and re-rerefining a rules file for Slackware, I completely forgot to install it! Sorry about it -- it's there now. Oh, and I know that udev overwrites existing config files. If you think there are user serviceable parts in there, save backup copies. Fixed /dev/tty* perms.

Note that some other distributions are issuing security adviories that have to do with smbmount, and with an insecure use of /tmp is smbprint. Slackware is not vulnerable to either of these issues by default, since neither smbmnt nor smbmount are installed setuid root, and because smbprint is not installed in the $PATH as a standard utility (though it is present in the documentation area as an example file). If you've installed smbprint on your own (or if you were crazy enough to make smbmount or smbmnt setuid root), you should be aware of these problems which are fixed in samba-3.0.3. Apparently it's now "safe" to make smbmnt setuid root, but I still don't recommend it. xap/gkrellm-2.2.0test1-i486-1.tgz: Added gkrellm-2.2.0-test1. xap/xine-lib-1rc4-i686-1.tgz: Upgraded to xine-lib-1-rc4.

Fixed library soname (should still be compatible). a/cxxlibs-5.1.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to libstc++.so.5.0.5. a/elvis-2.2_0-i486-2.tgz: Fixed elvis.clr and bad --docdir path. (Thanks to Angelo Brigante, Jr. for the bug report and fixes) a/coreutils-5.2.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to coreutils-5.2.0. This includes various updates to /etc/DIR_COLORS (thanks to Patrik Rådman and Alak Trakru for the suggestions) a/etc-5.1-noarch-7.tgz: Save incoming /etc/profile.d/lang.{csh|sh}.new even if the machine already has these scripts, as they contain some useful examples and info now. (reported by Giovanni Quadriglio and Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi) a/glibc-solibs-2.3.2-i486-5.tgz: Rebuilt using linux-2.4.25 kernel headers. a/glibc-zoneinfo-2.3.2-noarch-5.tgz: Rebuilt. a/hotplug-2004_01_05-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to hotplug-2004_01_05. Added a patch to fix hotplugging in 2.6 from Daniel de Kok. a/kernel-ide-2.4.25-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to linux-2.4.25. a/kernel-modules-2.4.25-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to linux-2.4.25. a/pkgtools-9.1.3-i486-1.tgz: In setup.services, allow rc.syslog to be turned on or off (hey, if you want no system logger that's your call :-). There are a few other things that aren't listed here (like as rc.yp, rc.sysvinit, and rc.nfsd), but since these require other scripts or config files that aren't present after an installation defaulting them to on and leaving them out of the menu seems better. If you set them up and then want to temporarily disable them at boot, use chmod. Also, rc.mysql *is* listed here, but there's no default database so until that's created it still will not start. That's an exception to the previous rule, as rc.mysqld defaults to off, and turning it on does get you one step closer to a working database. :-) a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-37.tgz: Support rc.sysvinit in rc.S (thanks to Jan Rafaj). Start syslogd/klogd earlier in rc.M, if possible (thanks to Tomas Matejicek). Support LVM2, fix genpowerd examples (thanks to Filip Rembia³kowski). ap/cdrdao-1.1.8-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to cdrdao-1.1.8. d/cscope-15.5-i486-2.tgz: Fixed permissions on documentation files.

However, time seems harmless enough, comsat is needed to enable biff (and seems safe enough), and auth is needed to comply with RFCs for sending mail (some sites will reject mail if you don't provide an auth service), and auth also seems safe enough. These seem like reasonable defaults to ship with. If it all makes you paranoid, you can always remove (or not install) inetd. :-) n/nmap-3.50-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to nmap-3.50. n/ppp-2.4.2-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to ppp-2.4.2. n/popa3d-0.6.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to popa3d-0.6.4.

Added more logging to /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1. When configuring the gateway, use "0.0.0.0" rather than "default" to avoid delays if DNS is not available (suggested by Piter Punk and Sebastien Renard). Patched tcp_wrappers to remove setenv() function duplicated in glibc. n/yptools-2.8-i486-4.tgz: Upgraded to ypbind-mt-1.17.2 and ypserv-2.12.1. Removed obsolete ypbind-3.3 (this was replaced by ypbind-mt long ago). xap/xfce-4.0.3.1-i486-1.tgz: Fixed package version number.

NOTE: slackpkg users must manually upgrade to the new slackpkg package, since the change to Slackware's default locale caused the formatting of the FILELIST.TXT file on the FTP site to be slightly different (and, unfortunately, incompatible with older versions of slackpkg). isolinux/initrd.img, rootdisks/install.*: Upgraded USB keyboard modules to Linux 2.4.25. kernels/: Upgraded to Linux 2.4.25. rootdisks/network.dsk, pcmcia.dsk: Upgraded to Linux 2.4.25 modules. testing/source/linux-2.6.x/linux-2.6.3.tar.bz2: Added linux-2.6.3 source. +--------------------------+ Wed Feb 18 03:07:58 PST 2004 kernels/*: Recompiled to fix another bounds-checking error in the kernel mremap() code. (this is not the same issue that was fixed on Jan 6) This bug could be used by a local attacker to gain root privileges. Sites should upgrade to a new kernel. After installing the new kernel, be sure to run 'lilo'. For more details, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0077 Thanks to Paul Starzetz for finding and researching this issue.

Thanks to Firman Pribadi for noticing this needed a recompile (which led me to find the new version :-) k/kernel-source-2.4.24-noarch-2.tgz: Patched the kernel source with a fix for the mremap() problem from Solar Designer, and updated the Speakup driver (not pre-applied). (* Security fix *) kde/kdepim-3.2.0-i486-2.tgz: Fixed problems with KMail, including a bug which could incorrectly cause IMAP mailboxes to be purged. l/libxslt-1.1.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to libxslt-1.1.3. n/metamail-2.7-i486-2.tgz: Patched two format string bugs and two buffer overflows in metamail which could lead to unauthorized code execution.

(Reported by Luigi Genoni) pasture/: Purged some unsupported things that don't need to be carried along in -current, like freetype-1.3.1, gcl-2.4.4, libxml-1.8.17, and xview-3.2p1.4. They'll still be in the Slackware 9.1 (and older) /pasture directory if you really need them. +--------------------------+ Tue Feb 17 00:16:53 PST 2004 a/devs-2.3.1-noarch-19.tgz: Added /dev/ram8 - /dev/ram15 to avoid LILO warnings with newer 2.6 kernels (thanks to Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi). a/elvis-2.2_0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to elvis-2.2_0. ap/vim-6.2.263-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to vim-6.2.263. ap/zsh-4.0.9-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to zsh-4.0.9. d/doxygen-1.3.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to doxygen-1.3.6.

Thanks to Doug Asherman for the bug report. +--------------------------+ Sun Feb 15 22:51:12 PST 2004 a/etc-5.1-noarch-6.tgz: Rewrote /etc/profile.d/lang.{csh|sh}, changing the default locale from C to en_US, but retaining the traditional sort order (LC_COLLATE=C).

This fixes an overflow that is a potential security hole. Here's the information from www.mutt.org: "Mutt 1.4.2 was released on February 11, 2004. This version fixes a buffer overflow that can be triggered by incoming messages. There are reports about spam that has actually triggered this problem and crashed mutt.

A carefully crafted .VCF file potentially enables local attackers to compromise the privacy of a victim's data or execute arbitrary commands with the victim's privileges. By default, file information reading is disabled for remote files. However, if previews are enabled for remote files, remote attackers may be able to compromise the victim's account.

BTW, every time I do this (upgrade kernel-headers without a glibc rcompile) I hear from many well-intentioned people who must think I don't know the "rules" about that, but I do (honest!). Slackware was one of the first to create a kernel-headers package that wasn't just a couple of symlinks into /usr/src. However, in this case (and in the case of the last upgrade), the kernel isn't different enough to require (or justify) pushing a recompiled glibc. If this were a major kernel upgrade (like 2.4 -> 2.6), that would be a whole different story... k/kernel-source-2.4.24-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.4.24 kernel source, with XFS and Speakup patches included (but not pre-applied). This uses the XFS and Speakup patches for 2.4.23, which should be fine since 2.4.24 didn't change much code. Proper XFS patches for 2.4.24 will probably be out soon to fix the one Makefile rejection for EXTRAVERSION = -xfs, but likely little else will be different since XFS development has already gone ahead to what is now the 2.4.25-pre kernel series. l/alsa-driver-1.0.0rc2-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled against Linux 2.4.24. +--------------------------+ Thu Dec 18 22:05:40 PST 2003 ap/dvd+rw-tools-5.14.4.7.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to dvd+rw-tools-5.14.4.7.4. ap/mysql-4.0.17-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mysql-4.0.17. ap/oggutils-1.0-i386-3.tgz: Removed.
