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_slack10.1.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_slack10.1.tgz: [Sec 1111] Fix incorrect check of EVP_VerifyFinal()'s return value.

Put cache files in /var/cache/fontconfig, not /var/X11R6/var/cache/fontconfig. Properly locate and compress fontconfig man pages. Thanks to Eef Hartman for pointing these out. Replaced freetype library with freetype-2.3.4. This fixes an overflow parsing BDF fonts. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-1351 (* Security fix *) Upgraded to fontconfig-2.4.2. patches/packages/x11-devel-6.8.1-s390-7_slack10.1.tgz: Replaced freetype library with freetype-2.3.4.

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. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-1246 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Wed Apr 4 13:55:57 EDT 2007 patches/packages/file-4.20-s390-1_slack10.1.tgz: Upgraded to file-4.20. 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 *) +--------------------------+ Sat Mar 17 11:44:49 EDT 2007 patches/packages/bind-9.3.4-s390-1_slack10.1.tgz: Upgraded to bind-9.3.4. 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_slack10.1.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-2006-5974 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-5867 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/glibc-zoneinfo-2.3.4-noarch-2_slack10.1.tgz: Updated with tzdata2007b for impending Daylight Savings Time changes in the US. patches/packages/gnupg-1.4.7-s390-1_slack10.1.tgz: Upgraded to gnupg-1.4.7.

This release fixes a severe and exploitable bug in earlier versions of gnupg. All gnupg users should update to the new packages as soon as possible. For details, see the information concerning CVE-2006-6235 posted on lists.gnupg.org: http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-announce/2006q4/000491.html The CVE entry for this issue may be found here: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-6235 This update also addresses a more minor security issue possibly exploitable when GnuPG is used in interactive mode. For more information about that issue, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-6169 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/libpng-1.2.14-s390-1_slack10.1.tgz: Upgraded to libpng-1.2.14. This fixes a bug where a specially crafted PNG file could crash applications that use libpng. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-5793 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/proftpd-1.3.0a-s390-1_slack10.1.tgz: Upgraded to proftpd-1.3.0a plus an additional security patch. Several security issues were found in proftpd that could lead to the execution of arbitrary code by a remote attacker, including one in mod_tls that does not require the attacker to be authenticated first. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-5815 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-6170 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-6171 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/tar-1.16-s390-1_slack10.1.tgz: Upgraded to tar-1.16. This fixes an issue where files may be extracted outside of the current directory, possibly allowing a malicious tar archive, when extracted, to overwrite any of the user's files (in the case of root, any file on the system). 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_slack10.1.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 *) +--------------------------+ Mon Nov 13 13:52:10 EST 2006 patches/packages/bind-9.3.2_P2-s390-1_slack10.1.tgz: Upgraded to bind-9.3.2-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 *) patches/packages/infozip-5.52-s390-2.tgz: Updated the SlackBuild script to specify linux_noasm on the unzip build. This allows it to actually build. +--------------------------+ Sat Nov 4 23:19:00 EST 2006 patches/packages/qt-3.3.3-s390-4_slack10.1.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_slack10.1.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_slack10.1.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).

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_slack10.1.tgz: Upgraded to mod_ssl-2.8.28-1.3.37. patches/packages/mutt-1.4.2.2i-s390-1_slack10.1.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_slack10.1.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-s390-31c_slack10.1.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_slack10.1.tgz: Upgraded to samba-3.0.23. This fixes a minor memory exhaustion DoS in smbd.

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_slack10.1.tgz: Upgraded to sendmail-8.13.7 configs. +--------------------------+ Thu Jun 8 20:52:03 EDT 2006 patches/packages/mysql-4.0.27-s390-1_slack10.1.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 *) +--------------------------+ Tue May 30 16:55:00 EDT 2006 patches/packages/apache-1.3.35-s390-2_slack10.1.tgz: Upgraded to apache-1.3.35. Patched to fix totally broken Include behavior. 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/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. (* Security fix *) patches/packages/mod_ssl-2.8.26_1.3.35-s390-1_slack10.1.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.

(* Security fix *) patches/packages/mozilla-plugins-1.7.13-noarch-1.tgz: Updated for mozilla-1.7.13. patches/packages/sendmail-8.13.6-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to sendmail-8.13.6. 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.

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: Rebuilt. patches/packages/openssl-0.9.7e-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-0.9.7e-s390-2.tgz: Patched. (* Security fix *) 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-2.12p-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 *) patches/packages/x11-6.8.1-s390-4.tgz: Patched a pixmap overflow issue.

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 *) +--------------------------+ Sat Jul 30 01:56:13 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.

This fixes a vulnerability in the movemail utility when connecting to a malicious POP server that may allow the execution of arbitrary code as the user running emacs. (* Security fix *) patches/packages/emacs-info-21.4a-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to emacs-21.4a. patches/packages/emacs-leim-21.4-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to leim-21.4. patches/packages/emacs-lisp-21.4a-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to emacs-21.4a. patches/packages/emacs-misc-21.4a-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to emacs-21.4a. patches/packages/emacs-nox-21.4a-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to emacs-21.4a.c patches/packages/fetchmail-6.2.5.2-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to fetchmail-6.2.5.2.

Thanks to Helmut Schmid for the bug report. :-) patches/packages/atk-1.9.1-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to atk-1.9.1. patches/packages/glib2-2.6.4-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to glib-2.6.4. patches/packages/gtk+2-2.6.7-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to gtk+-2.6.7. patches/packages/pango-1.8.1-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to pango-1.8.1. 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 *) 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-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to php-4.3.11. "This is a maintenance release that in addition to over 70 non-critical bug fixes addresses several security issues inside the exif and fbsql extensions as well as the unserialize(), swf_definepoly() and getimagesize() functions." (* 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 *) +--------------------------+ Sun Jul 24 23:00:00 EDT 2005 patches/packages/cvs-1.11.20-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to cvs-1.11.20. From cvshome.org: "This version fixes many minor security issues in the CVS server executable including a potentially serious buffer overflow vulnerability with no known exploit. 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/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/python-2.4.1-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to python-2.4.1. 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." For more details, see: http://python.org/security/PSF-2005-001/ (* Security fix *) patches/packages/python-demo-2.4.1-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to python-2.4.1 demos. patches/packages/python-tools-2.4.1-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to python-2.4.1 tools. 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/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.
