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.

PHP4 was standard in Slackware 11.0, which is why this package is provided "in place" under /extra rather than under /patches (where upgrade tools might mistakenly grab and install it where it would not be desirable.) 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. However, additional information should become available at this URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-0599 The list reproduced above, as well as additional information about other fixes in PHP 5.2.6 may be found in the PHP release announcement here: http://www.php.net/releases/5_2_6.php (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Mon Apr 28 23:46:17 CDT 2008 patches/packages/libpng-1.2.27-s390x-1_slack11.0.tgz: Upgraded to libpng-1.2.27. This fixes various bugs, the most important of which have to do with the handling of unknown chunks containing zero-length data. Processing a PNG image that contains these could cause the application using libpng to crash (possibly resulting in a denial of service), could potentially expose the contents of uninitialized memory, or could cause the execution of arbitrary code as the user running libpng (though it would probably be quite difficult to cause the execution of attacker-chosen code). We recommend upgrading the package as soon as possible.

As before in -2, this package fixes the two regressions mentioned in the release notes for xine-lib-1.1.12: http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=592185&group_id=9655 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Thu Apr 17 16:25:55 CDT 2008 patches/packages/mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.14-s390x-1.tgz: Upgraded to firefox-2.0.0.14.

Previous versions of bzip2 contained a buffer overread error that could cause applications linked to libbz2 to crash, resulting in a denial of service. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1372 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/m4-1.4.11-s390x-1_slack11.0.tgz: Upgraded to m4-1.4.11. In addition to bugfixes and enhancements, this version of m4 also fixes two issues with possible security implications. A minor security fix with the use of "maketemp" and "mkstemp" -- these are now quoted to prevent the (rather unlikely) possibility that an unquoted string could match an existing macro causing operations to be done on the wrong file. Also, a problem with the '-F' option (introduced with version 1.4) could cause a core dump or possibly (with certain file names) the execution of arbitrary code. For more information on these issues, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1687 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1688 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Fri Apr 4 12:36:37 CDT 2008 patches/packages/openssh-5.0p1-s390x-1_slack11.0.tgz: Upgraded to openssh-5.0p1.

Earlier versions of xine-lib suffer from an integer overflow which may lead to a buffer overflow that could potentially be used to gain unauthorized access to the machine if a malicious media file is played back. File types affected this time include .flv, .mov, .rm, .mve, .mkv, and .cak.

This update fixes the following security related issues: URIs with invalid %-encoding mishandled by Windows (MFSA 2007-36). Crashes with evidence of memory corruption (MFSA 2007-29). OK, so the first one obviously does not affect us. :-) The second fix has to do with the same JavaScript handling problem fixed before in Firefox. JavaScript is not enabled by default in Thunderbird, and the developers (at least in MFSA 2007-36) do not recommend turning it on.

Thanks to TJ Munro for pointing this out. We appreciate the fast weekend Q/A. :-) This package should be installed rather than the previously released php-5.2.5-s390x-1_slack11.0 (unless you do not use /usr/php/php-cgi in which case either package will do.)

From the OpenSSH release notes: "Security bugs resolved in this release: Prevent ssh(1) from using a trusted X11 cookie if creation of an untrusted cookie fails; found and fixed by Jan Pechanec." While it's fair to say that we here at Slackware don't see how this could be leveraged to compromise a system, a) the OpenSSH people (who presumably understand the code better) characterize this as a security bug, b) it has been assigned a CVE entry, and c) OpenSSH is one of the most commonly used network daemons. Better safe than sorry.

An integer overflow in libexif can crash applications that use the library on malformed images. The upstream advisory indicates that this flaw could also be used to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user, but no exploit is known (by us) to exist among iDefense's researchers or in the wild. But, as a crash bug and heap overflow one must suppose that the possibility exists. http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-4168 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Fri Jun 1 21:50:50 CDT 2007 patches/packages/mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.12-s390x-1.tgz: Upgraded to firefox-1.5.0.12.

Removed various symlinks to NSS libraries. If you plan to rebuild the pidgin package in unsupported/pidgin/stable for any reason (you shouldn't need to), first upgrade to this package and then upgradepkg --reinstall the mozilla-nss package. +--------------------------+ Thu May 10 16:14:34 CDT 2007 testing/packages/bash-3.2.017-s390x-1_slack11.0.tgz: Upgraded to bash-3.2.017. Moved here from /patches/packages. Honestly, I think /testing may be a better place for bash-3.2 for a while longer -- it's causing trouble with many old scripts. So, we'll give it a while longer to stabilize and for scripts to catch up to any syntax changes which may have occured. +--------------------------+ Tue May 8 22:19:03 CDT 2007 patches/packages/slackpkg-2.60-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to slackpkg-2.60.

Thanks to Robby Workman for pointing it out. +--------------------------+ Wed Apr 25 15:19:06 CDT 2007 patches/packages/fontconfig-2.4.2-s390x-2_slack11.0.tgz: Changed the font paths in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf to point to where the fonts actually are, rather than through a symlink. The symlink (/usr/X11R6/lib/fonts) *should* be made by the aaa_base package, but still it's probably best to point to the real location. Thanks to Zoran Davidovac for the suggestion. Moved man pages to the proper location and gzipped them. Created a /var/cache/fontconfig directory. +--------------------------+ Mon Apr 23 13:32:50 CDT 2007 patches/packages/freetype-2.3.4-s390x-2_slack11.0.tgz: Fixed the diffs for the patented algorithms. Thanks to Eric Hameleers. +--------------------------+ Fri Apr 20 13:47:39 CDT 2007 patches/packages/x11-6.9.0-s390x-14_slack11.0.tgz: Removed old versions of fc-cache and fc-list. Somehow a couple of old fontconfig binaries snuck into this package, and prevent fc-cache from working properly at boot (or any other time). If you've already installed these upgrades, reinstalling the fontconfig package will fix the issue. If you do that, there's no need to reinstall this new x11 package -- it's been fixed so that there's no longer a problem with the package install order (and because those fc-* binaries didn't belong there). Sorry for any inconvenience... Thanks to Petri Kaukasoina for pointing this out.

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.

A directory traversal vulnerability in torrent.cpp in versions < 2.1.2 may allow remote attackers to overwrite the ktorrent user's files.

This is an optional upgrade issued due to some problem reports concerning the use of the old- style backquotes in scripts. For example `ls -l` might fail where $(ls -l) works (though the real-world examples are more complex than these, of course. I'd say if you're not having problems with bash you're better off leaving it alone, but if you're getting an error like "unexpected EOF looking for matching `", you may wish to give this package a try.

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.

This is a completely optional enhanced feature package update. Usually I'd reserve this space only for security patches (which this is not), but Firefox 2.0 is just so cool that I couldn't resist upgrading it, especially with Slackware 11.0 so recently released. +--------------------------+ Wed Oct 25 15:45:46 CDT 2006 patches/packages/qca-tls-1.0-s390x-3_slack11.0.tgz: Rebuilt to place the plugin in /usr/lib/qt-3.3.7/plugins/crypto/. patches/packages/qt-3.3.7-s390x-1_slack11.0.tgz: Upgraded to qt-x11-free-3.3.7. 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 *) n/openssh-4.4p1-i486-1.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 *) n/openssl-0.9.8d-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to openssl-0.9.8d. 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). Thanks to Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry of the Google Security Team.

Thanks to Igor Pashev for providing a simple patch from Gene Pavlovsky. kernels/huge26.s/*: Added support for USB and IEEE1394 storage devices. kernels/test26.s/*: Added support for USB and IEEE1394 storage devices. Thanks to Tais M. Hansen for pointing out that these kernels lacked support for USB storage devices. Using these kernels with udev may cause a few warnings at boot time as udev attempts to load the already built-in support, but these seem to be harmless. +--------------------------+ Tue Sep 26 05:57:52 CDT 2006 a/aaa_base-11.0.0-noarch-2.tgz: Updated the "Welcome to Slackware" email. Added /media directory, subdirectories, and symbolic links recommended by the FHS, along with README files to help me understand the difference between this directory and /mnt. ;-) a/etc-11.0-noarch-1.tgz: Fixed a bug in /etc/csh.login that caused repeated use of "csh -l" to duplicate search directories in the $path. Clearly /etc/csh.login should set the path just as /etc/profile does. This bug dates back at at least 1997, maybe earlier, so congratulations to Dimitar Zhekov for winning this release's "smite the oldest bug" award. Added distcc port to /etc/services. Thanks to Erik Jan Tromp and Robby Workman for the continual reminders. ;-) a/pkgtools-11.0.0-i486-4.tgz: Made upgradepkg a little bit more gentle -- if it is run on a corrupted .tgz it will no longer remove the original package. Thanks to Ric Anderson for the report. Added rc.scanluns to the services setup menu. a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-69.tgz: Fixed path to /sbin/initscript shown in init.8 (again). Thanks to Robby Workman. Changed rc.S to run rc.serial according to whether the script is executable. a/util-linux-2.12r-i486-5.tgz: Treat /etc/rc.d/rc.serial (to preserve file permissions), /etc/serial.conf, and /etc/fdprm as '.new' config files. ap/lm_sensors-2.10.0-i486-3.tgz: Fixed hardcoded /usr/local paths in sensors-detect. Thanks to Jakub Jankowski. kde/kdebase-3.5.4-i486-7.tgz: Patched to fix media:/ URLs in Konqueror without requiring HAL. Thanks to everyone involved in reporting this issue and seeing that it was addressed: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132281 A big thanks to coolo (Stephan Kulow) for coming up with a patch. :-) zipslack/zipslack.zip: Added ZipSlack. +--------------------------+ Sat Sep 23 03:45:30 CDT 2006 a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-68.tgz: In rc.M, start rc.hplip if found. Fix the path to /sbin/initscript shown in init.8. Thanks to Robby Workman. xap/sane-1.0.18-i486-3.tgz: Added HPLIP backend (hpaio) to dll.conf. testing/packages/cups-1.2.4/cups-1.2.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to cups-1.2.4. The web site says that more problems were fixed. I would still approach this one cautiously, though I'm sure it (or its descendent) will be used in Slackware 11.1. Unless you have a reason to need this now, I'd wait. testing/packages/hplip-1.6.9-i486-1.tgz: Added hplip-1.6.9, a complete print, scan, and fax system for HP devices. This isn't being merged into the AP series as a replacement for hpijs solely because I'd like to see it get more testing first. It is working perfectly here. Thanks to Robby Workman for doing the vast majority of the work on this package. :-) testing/packages/gutenprint-5.0.0-i486-2.tgz: Don't overwrite GIMP's "print" plugin -- instead install the plugin as "gutenprint". Thanks again to Stefano Vesa. +--------------------------+ Fri Sep 22 01:57:52 CDT 2006 n/portmap-5.0-i486-3.tgz: In rc.rpc, fixed restart function. Thanks to Grant. +--------------------------+ Thu Sep 21 04:05:03 CDT 2006 This is still Slackware 11.0 release candidate 5 (for now), and is still the last release candidate, scout's honor. We are nearly there. :-) a/devs-2.3.1-noarch-25.tgz: Added /dev/i2c-* devices. Thanks to Jean Delvare. Just a reminder on devs, as I've had some email about it. As it stands, devs is required to boot even if the machine runs a 2.6+ kernel and uses udev. a/hotplug-2004_09_23-noarch-11.tgz: Don't allow dhcpcd -k to make noise at shutdown time if dhcpcd is not running (as in cases where it was shut down manually, or the lease time was infinite). a/logrotate-3.7.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to logrotate-3.7.4. After reading the diff -u and doing some test rotations, this seems safe to include for 11.0. Suggested by Mateus César Gröess and Rafal Lorenc. Rotate /var/log/btmp. Thanks to James Michael Fultz. a/pkgtools-11.0.0-i486-3.tgz: Stripped /bin/dialog. Thanks to mRgOBLIN for saving us 18K of hard drive space. :-) In setup.services, rename rc.portmap to rc.rpc. This is no longer started by default. Instead you must turn it on (only if you plan on mounting NFS partitions manually). Otherwise, it will be run regardless of exec perms if NFS shares or mounts are detected at boot time. ap/diffstat-1.43-i486-1.tgz: Added Thomas Dickey's diffstat utility. Suggested by Michael Iatrou. ap/lm_sensors-2.10.0-i486-2.tgz: Edited slack-desc since the package contains only the tools for lm_sensors, not the drivers. In the case of the 2.6+ kernel, these are included with the kernel-modules package. For 2.4, the modules would have to be built by the end user. Also, there is still no startup script included for this package, but that's something that will be looked at for the next development cycle. Removed the mkdev.sh after including the i2c devices in the devs package. Thanks again to Jean Delvare for the advice, and for his work maintaining lm_sensors upstream. :-) n/mailx-12.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mailx-12.1 from nail-11.25 (renamed). Thanks to Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi for pointing this out. n/nfs-utils-1.0.10-i486-3.tgz: Moved rpc.lockd and rpc.statd to /sbin. Reworked rc.nfsd to make use of the rc.rpc script in "portmap". n/portmap-5.0-i486-2.tgz: Replaced /etc/rc.d/rc.portmap with /etc/rc.d/rc.rpc. This script will start rpc.portmap, rpc.lockd, and rpc.statd. All of these are needed to make proper use of NFS from either the server or client side, so this approach should be more likely to work out of the box. Note that nfs-utils will also be required in order to use rc.rpc or NFS, even as a client. If rc.rpc is needed, another script will run it as long as it is readable. The only reason to make rc.rpc executable would be to run it at boot time when there are no shares in /etc/exports and no mounts in /etc/fstab, but you wish to be able to mount NFS partitions manually. Thanks to Arno G. Schielke and Cesar Suga for suggesting this idea. n/tcpip-0.17-i486-39.tgz: Don't allow dhcpcd -k to make noise at shutdown time if dhcpcd is not running (as in cases where it was shut down manually, or the lease time was infinite). Added support in rc.inet1 and rc.inet1.conf for adjustable DHCP_TIMEOUT. Thanks to Eric Hameleers. x/ttf-indic-fonts-0.4.7.1-noarch-1.tgz: Added TTF fonts for displaying Indic scripts. This package supports Bengali, Devanagari, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Oriya, Punjabi, Tamil, and Telugu. For information about fully enabling Indic support (including input), see: /usr/doc/Linux-HOWTOs/Indic-Fonts-HOWTO. isolinux/initrd.img: Patched installer's network script to look for network26.dsk if 2.6.17.13 (huge26.s) is used to boot/install. Thanks to Piter Punk for work done (long ago) to fix probing for 2.6 modules. Thanks to Eric Hameleers for helping debug loopback mounts in the installer when using the 2.6.17.13 (huge26.s) kernel. NFS installs with the test26.s kernel are not supported by this system, but should work if you put the module(s) you need on a floppy or otherwise make them available and load them manually. isolinux/network26.dsk: Added network26.dsk for NFS installs with huge26.s. Don't try to put this one on a floppy disk, folks. ;-) kernels/huge26.s/*: Added built-in NLS (CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_437, CONFIG_NLS_ISO8859_1, and CONFIG_NLS_UTF8) to allow FAT filesystems to loopback mount for NFS installs. kernels/test26.s/*: Added 2.6.18 test26.s kernel. rootdisks/install.1: Patched installer's network script. rootdisks/install.2: Rebuilt. rootdisks/install.zip: Patched installer's network script. testing/packages/flex-2.5.33-i486-1.tgz: Added flex-2.5.33. Requested by Alberto Simões. testing/packages/gutenprint-5.0.0-i486-1.tgz: Added gutenprint-5.0.0. This package was formerly known as "gimp-print", and will likely take the place of gimp-print in the AP series after going through testing. Suggested by Stefano Vesa. testing/packages/linux-2.6.18/kernel-generic-2.6.18-i486-1.tgz: Added Linux 2.6.18 generic kernel. testing/packages/linux-2.6.18/kernel-headers-2.6.18-i386-1.tgz: Added Linux 2.6.18 kernel headers. testing/packages/linux-2.6.18/kernel-modules-2.6.18-i486-1.tgz Added Linux 2.6.18 kernel modules. testing/packages/linux-2.6.18/kernel-source-2.6.18-noarch-1.tgz Added Linux 2.6.18 kernel source. +--------------------------+ Tue Sep 19 18:13:09 CDT 2006 l/arts-1.5.4-i486-2.tgz: Patched an annoying bug where audio programs such as ogg123 would not work unless KDE had been run first. I took several stabs with me sword at ripping out kdebase's surprise HAL requirement as well, but the best I could achieve was "Internal Error". Aarrr!! +--------------------------+ Tue Sep 19 14:07:49 CDT 2006 a/gzip-1.3.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gzip-1.3.5, and fixed a variety of bugs. Some of the bugs have possible security implications if gzip or its tools are fed a carefully constructed malicious archive. Most of these issues were recently discovered by Tavis Ormandy and the Google Security Team. Thanks to them, and also to the ALT and Owl developers for cleaning up the patch. For further details about the issues fixed, please see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-0758 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-0988 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-1228 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-4334 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-4335 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-4336 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-4337 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-4338 (* Security fix *) n/procmail-3.22-i486-2.tgz: Added support for large (2GB+) mailboxes. Thanks to Dominik L. Borkowski. isolinux/initrd.img: Patched installer to allow splitting a package series over two or more pieces of optical media. If a package directory contains a file named README_SPLIT.TXT, then it will be continued on the next disc. An example of such a file can be found in /isolinux. Thanks very much to Eric Hameleers for the initial patch and testing! rootdisks/install.1: Rebuilt. rootdisks/install.2: Patched to allow a split package series. rootdisks/install.zip: Patched to allow a split package series. +--------------------------+ Mon Sep 18 15:18:07 CDT 2006 l/neon-0.25.5-i486-2.tgz: Enabled missing SSL support. Thanks much to Mircea Baciu! +--------------------------+ Mon Sep 18 05:33:24 CDT 2006 Slackware 11.0 release candidate 5. This is the last one, scout's honor. a/aaa_elflibs-11.0.0-i486-9.tgz: Stripped /lib/libbz2.so.1.0.3, added /lib/libdm.so.0.0.4. a/bzip2-1.0.3-i486-3.tgz: Stripped /lib/libbz2.so.1.0.3. ap/espgs-8.15.3svn185-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to espgs-8.15.3svn185. OK, I don't like using repo versions at all, much less inserting them at the last second. But, it seems like par for the course for ghostscript and its offshoots where there wasn't much choice about shipping 8.15rc4 in Slackware 10.2. In this case, building from svn fixes two critical problems: missing support for CJK, and not correctly printing Umlauts with certain fonts. Thanks to Shin-ichi Abe and Matthias Bachert. If this version of espgs creates new problems that are worse than these, please let me know as soon as possible. It's tested here and seems stable. ap/vim-7.0.109-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to vim-7.0.109. d/subversion-1.4.0-i486-1.tgz: After a couple convincing assurances that this was a safe and ABI/API compatible upgrade, I decided to allow this upgrade. Thanks to Malcolm Rowe and Janusz Dziemidowicz. l/desktop-file-utils-0.11-i486-1.tgz: Added desktop-file-utils-0.11. The next XFce will need this freedesktop.org package. Thanks to Robby Workman for the information. l/libexif-0.6.13-i486-2.tgz: Fixed libexif.pc includedir. Thanks to Charles Shannon Hendrix for pointing this out. l/libtheora-1.0alpha7-i486-1.tgz: Added libtheora-1.0alpha7. This links with (as far as I know) optional plugins only and is a safe last-second addition. Furthermore, the Theora team has promised that files encoded with this version of the codec will always be playable. The format is stable and ready for production use, so keeping it out of 11.0 due to the "alpha" would be plain silly. Suggested by Edo Hikmahtiar, and Diogo R. l/libungif-4.1.4-i486-3.tgz: Added the utilities in /usr/bin, some of which are used to detect that annoying image spam that's on the rise... Thanks to Joran Kvalvaag. l/neon-0.25.5-i486-1.tgz: Added neon package, split from subversion-deps-1.4.0. x/dejavu-ttf-2.10-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to dejavu-ttf-2.10. xap/vim-gvim-7.0.109-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to vim-7.0.109. Once again, this is just an add-on for the VIM package in ap. :-) xap/xine-lib-1.1.2-i686-2.tgz: Recompiled against libtheora to include the Theora codec plugin. Theora testsuite passed. xap/xine-ui-0.99.4-i686-3.tgz: Patched an issue where xine-ui could block input to Konsole. Thanks to Nuts Mueller. extra/linux-smp-2.6.17.13/kernel-headers-smp-2.6.17.13-i386-1.tgz: Fixed slack-desc typo. No actual rebuild, so no -$BUILD bump. Thanks to David Somero. isolinux/initrd.img: Fixed swap setup in the "Cancel" or unselecting all swap partitions case. Thanks to Marcus Moeller. rootdisks/install.1: Rebuilt. rootdisks/install.2: Fixed swap setup. rootdisks/install.zip: Fixed swap setup. +--------------------------+ Sat Sep 16 23:08:49 CDT 2006 l/libgpod-0.3.2-i486-2.tgz: Added --enable-eject-command and --enable-unmount-command. Thanks to Kody K. kde/amarok-1.4.3-i486-4.tgz: Recompiled with a patch to fix non-latin1 playlist corruption by forcing UTF8. Thanks to guilherme and the kind folks on #amarok. Added explicit --emable-libgpod. Thanks to Kody K. kde/kdeutils-3.5.4-i486-2.tgz: Fixed ark crash due to race condition on SMP machines. Thanks to JaguarWan. n/rdesktop-1.5.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to rdesktop-1.5.0. Thanks to Andrew Fuller for pointing it out. x/x11-6.9.0-i486-11.tgz: Fixed an overflow in CID encoded Type1 font parsing. For further reference, see: http://www.idefense.com/intelligence/vulnerabilities/display.php?id=411 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-3739 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-3740 (* Security fix *) Also, fixed French Canadian keymap variant. Thanks to Patrice Tremblay. x/x11-devel-6.9.0-i486-11.tgz: Recompiled. x/x11-xdmx-6.9.0-i486-11.tgz: Recompiled. x/x11-xnest-6.9.0-i486-11.tgz: Recompiled. x/x11-xvfb-6.9.0-i486-11.tgz: Recompiled. extra/linux-smp-2.6.17.13/kernel-generic-smp-2.6.17.13-i686-1.tgz: This is an optional kernel with support for SMP (up to 16), dual core optimizations, and SMT (Hyperthreading). Fully tuned and ready to go. extra/linux-smp-2.6.17.13/kernel-headers-smp-2.6.17.13-i386-1.tgz Optional kernel headers. There will only be needed to compile a few things, such as apps and libraries that use ALSA (it contains the /usr/include/sound directory that for 2.4.x kernels is supplied in the alsa-driver package). extra/linux-smp-2.6.17.13/kernel-modules-smp-2.6.17.13-i686-1.tgz: Kernel modules for Linux 2.6.17.13-smp, including ALSA modules. These install into /lib/modules/2.6.17.13-smp/. +--------------------------+ Thu Sep 14 19:41:22 CDT 2006 d/git-1.4.2.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to git-1.4.2.1. xap/mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.7-i686-1.tgz: Upgraded to firefox-1.5.0.7. This upgrade fixes several possible security bugs. For more information, see: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/known-vulnerabilities.html#firefox (* Security fix *) xap/mozilla-thunderbird-1.5.0.7-i686-1.tgz: Upgraded to thunderbird-1.5.0.7. This upgrade fixes several possible security bugs. For more information, see: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/known-vulnerabilities.html#thunderbird (* Security fix *) xap/seamonkey-1.0.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to seamonkey-1.0.5. This upgrade fixes several possible security bugs. For more information, see: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/known-vulnerabilities.html#seamonkey (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Thu Sep 14 03:57:37 CDT 2006 a/glibc-solibs-2.3.6-i486-6.tgz: Recompiled. a/glibc-zoneinfo-2.3.6-noarch-6.tgz: Upgraded to tzcode2006k and tzdata2006k. Added "ldconfig -r ." to install script. Thanks to Stuart Winter. a/openssl-solibs-0.9.8b-i486-2.tgz: Patched an issue where it is possible to forge certain kinds of RSA signatures. The patch is used instead of an upgrade to openssl-0.9.8c as it was issued later with a corrected fix. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-4339 (* Security fix *) a/udev-097-i486-10.tgz: If there's no udevd daemon, don't allow rc.udev to try to start. Thanks to Eugene Crosser. d/pkgconfig-0.21-i486-3.tgz: Added {curly brackets} around PKG_CONFIG_PATH in /etc/profile.d/pkgconfig.*. Thanks to Rémy Pagniez. l/glibc-2.3.6-i486-6.tgz: Recompiled against 2.4.33.3 and 2.6.17.13 headers. (these kernel versions are now "golden" for release) l/glibc-i18n-2.3.6-noarch-6.tgz: Recompiled. l/glibc-profile-2.3.6-i486-6.tgz: Recompiled. n/openssl-0.9.8b-i486-2.tgz: Patched an issue where it is possible to forge certain kinds of RSA signatures.

For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-4339 (* Security fix *) kernels/huge26.s/*: Added NFSv3 support. +--------------------------+ Tue Sep 12 06:29:32 CDT 2006 a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-67.tgz: Sleep 3 seconds before mounting non-root partitions. This was a sleep that I'd removed earlier in the devel cycle to see what it would break (if anything), and the answer is some external hard drives that take a couple seconds to hotplug. Thanks to Fabio Busatto. In rc.M, restart udevd when returning from single user mode. Thanks to James Michael Fultz. Patched initscript.5 man page to show proper /sbin/initscript path. Thanks to Robby Workman. Found another assumption that the kernel has hotplug support in the rc.udev stop function. Thanks again to Gary Hawco for the original bug report. a/udev-097-i486-9.tgz: Uncommented dmsetup rule for LVM2 -- it doesn't seem to hurt anything. Thanks to Dex Filmore. ap/diffutils-2.8.1-i486-3.tgz: Fixed sdiff.1 man page. Thanks to James Michael Fultz. kde/amarok-1.4.3-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled against new libmtp. l/libmtp-0.0.18-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to libmtp-0.0.18. l/libwpd-0.8.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to libwpd-0.8.6. Thanks to Eugene C. for the CXXFLAGS advice. n/imapd-4.64-i486-3.tgz: Added missing md5.txt mentioned in the imapd man page, plus a note about additional (large) documentation in the sources. The docs directory was also moved to /usr/doc/imapd4.64. Thanks to Mark Flacy for reminding me about this one. n/rdesktop-1.4.1-i486-1.tgz: Added rdesktop-1.4.1. Yes, we're in release candidates, but if this doesn't work at least it is small. :-) I've had many, many requests, and it is needed by krdc, so that's my rationale. Oh -- and thanks to everyone for positive feedback on libgpod. I also fixed the typo in my request for feedback below. I hope that doesn't break too many ChangeLog parsing scripts... n/stunnel-4.17-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to stunnel-4.17. Thanks to Cal Peake for the notice. +--------------------------+ Mon Sep 11 02:10:19 CDT 2006 a/module-init-tools-3.2.2-i486-2.tgz: In /etc/modprobe.d/, if there's no /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf file, try to make a link to ../modprobe.conf. This will retain legacy support for existing /etc/modprobe.conf files. Thanks very much to Ivan Kalvatchev for persisting with this bug report until I finally saw the light of day. :-) l/libmtp-0.0.16-i486-2.tgz: Fixed hotplug and udev support. Thanks to Carlos Corbacho for the help on this -- I knew it wasn't working yet and was hoping someone would step up. Wow, that was fast! l/libnjb-2.2.5-i486-2.tgz: Fixed hotplug and udev support. Again, thanks to Carlos Corbacho. Now my NJB3 works. :-) Anyone have any yea/nay feedback on libgpod and amaroK? +--------------------------+ Sat Sep 9 14:56:38 CDT 2006 kernels/huge26.s/*: Upgraded huge26.s kernel to 2.6.17.13. extra/linux-2.6.17.13/kernel-generic-2.6.17.13-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.17.13 generic kernel. extra/linux-2.6.17.13/kernel-headers-2.6.17.13-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.17.13 kernel headers. extra/linux-2.6.17.13/kernel-modules-2.6.17.13-i486-1.tgz Upgraded to Linux 2.6.17.13 kernel modules. extra/linux-2.6.17.13/kernel-source-2.6.17.13-noarch-1.tgz Upgraded to Linux 2.6.17.13 kernel source.

So, for now anyway -- back to 1.8.4. kde/amarok-1.4.3-i486-2.tgz: This was the only thing that touched the tainted Ruby. ;-) Seriously, this will all get straightened out, but we have a release to do. Should we wait for everyone to adopt the new Ruby API/ABI? Or must it be: "works" / "secure" -- pick one? :-) It's always best to use the right tool for the job or you can get hurt. Remember shop class? kde/kdesdk-3.5.4-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled with configure flags that allow the apr libraries to be found. Thanks to Giacomo Lozito. y/bsd-games-2.13-i486-8.tgz: "pom" now supports a reasonable number of digits with a command line option, as noted in the man page. Default behavior has not been changed (it is still a rounded integer percentage). My own patch didn't live long enough to see birth in a stable release, but who cares. :-) Thanks to Eric Hameleers (who loves a good time-waster) for the better patch. I knew he wouldn't be able to resist this one. ;-> bootdisks/raid.s: Reverted to the old megaraid driver since regaraid2 is already in the scsi2.s bootdisk. kernels/huge26.s/*: Fixed USB keyboard support in the installer (at least tested on CD/DVD media). Thanks to Bruce Hill, Jr. for pointing out that this was no longer working. Please note that if you install with this you still need kernel-modules from /extra, and that there's no alsa-driver for this kernel because it's all built into kernel-modules and kernel-headers (well, and the kernel :-). ALSA 1.0.11/12 specifically DO NOT support these newer kernels. Check out the SUPPORTED_KERNELS file in the alsa-driver source. Feel free to play with various combinations (many DO work, but without any noticable improvement to me). I try very hard to not break your sound system, but I'm already bending the rules with alsa-driver-1.0.11_2.4.33.3... Also, if you find bugs in stuff I don't ship, contact the appropriate maintainer too, please. I am not the hg repository for everything I ship. (I know, I do look remarkably similar ;-) "Is this the spacecraft assembly building?" kernels/raid.s/*: Moved from the megaraid2 driver to the old megaraid driver, after it was pointed out that megaraid2 is already in scsi2.s. +--------------------------+ Thu Sep 7 22:59:40 CDT 2006 d/ruby-1.8.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to ruby-1.8.5. Honestly, I'm not sure these next three will help at the moment, but we're laying some groundwork for later when HAL will take over (and sing "Daisy"). l/libgpod-0.3.2-i486-1.tgz: Added libgpod-0.3.2. l/libmtp-0.0.16-i486-1.tgz: Added libmtp-0.0.16. l/libnjb-2.2.5-i486-1.tgz: Added libnjb-2.2.5. kde/amarok-1.4.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to amarok-1.4.3. Added plugins linked with libgpod, libmtp, and libnjb. Working status (even with a bit of DYI) is not known (yet). It might require HAL to make it do anything at all. n/bind-9.3.2_P1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to bind-9.3.2-P1. This update addresses a denial of service vulnerability. BIND's CHANGES file says this: 2066. [security] Handle SIG queries gracefully. [RT #16300] The best discussion I've found is in FreeBSD's advisory, so here's a link: http://security.FreeBSD.org/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-06:20.bind.asc Also, fixed some missing man pages. (noticed by Xavier Thomassin -- thanks) (* Security fix *) y/bsd-games-2.13-i486-7.tgz: Snipped part of a crufty old patch that wouldn't apply. Added an (unapplied) patch to make pom give you two more digits of accuracy. I didn't apply it since it wasn't quite done; it should have the traditional default (no decimal places) that everyone is used to, and an arbitrary accuracy selectable with a command line switch. Perhaps it should be rewritten to use gmp. Oh, and the man page will then need fixing. Eric? ;-) +--------------------------+ Sun Sep 3 19:59:47 CDT 2006 a/udev-097-i486-8.tgz: Fixed a missing '[' in rc.udev. Thanks to guilherme for pointing out the error, and to J., who found the missing '['. (It had fallen off my desk and ended up under a table) kernels/System.map: Forgot to gzip a bunch of these. Thanks, Steve'o. +--------------------------+ Sun Sep 3 01:46:42 CDT 2006 I wasn't planning a Slackware 11.0 release candidate 4, but here we go. a/kernel-ide-2.4.33.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.4.33.3 sata.i kernel. a/kernel-modules-2.4.33.3-i486-1.tgz Upgraded to Linux 2.4.33.3 kernel modules. a/udev-097-i486-7.tgz: Make sure /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug exists before writing to it. Thanks to Gary Hawco for the bug report. Change log level from "crit" or "err" since udev doesn't support "crit". Silly me, I saw some mention of syslog levels in the docs and assumed it supported all of them. At least in unrecognized cases the default is "err" anyway, so this bug didn't cause ill effects. Accuracy in documentation is, nevertheless, always a good thing to strive for. (I'm referring here to my own inaccurate additions to udev.conf...) Thanks to Chris Vowden for pointing this out. Don't fail to mount tmpfs on /dev because some other tmpfs mount exists. Thanks to Ken Milmore for the patch. Forget standards -- if k3b wants "/dev/writer" then that is good enough justification for me. Try to make a link to the most full-featured burner. Thanks to my good friend Dex Filmore. Relaxed the perms on input events from 600 to 640 so that members of group root can also read events. Mode 644 was suggested, but wouldn't that let anyone on the box set up e.g. a keyboard logger? It didn't seem secure to me, and 640 looks like a decent compromise. Thanks to Jon Anders Skorpen. ap/mysql-5.0.24a-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mysql-5.0.24a. Evidently the ABI change in MySQL 5.0.24 was unintentional, so all the packages that were recompiled before need another recompile. Oh well, maybe this little exercise has fixed something else we didn't know about. :-) d/kernel-headers-2.4.33.3-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.4.33.3 kernel headers. d/perl-5.8.8-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled against libmysqlclient. k/kernel-source-2.4.33.3-noarch-1.tgz Upgraded to Linux 2.4.33.3 kernel source. kde/koffice-1.5.2-i486-4.tgz: Recompiled against libmysqlclient. kde/qt-3.3.6-i486-4.tgz: Recompiled against libmysqlclient. l/alsa-driver-1.0.11_2.4.33.3-i486-1.tgz: Recompiled for Linux 2.4.33.3. By the way, I did try ALSA 1.0.12 and noticed that emu10k1 wasn't compiling for Linux 2.4.33.3. I think we are probably safer sticking with the well tested ALSA 1.0.11 for the release. n/bitchx-1.1-i486-5.tgz: Recompiled against libmysqlclient. n/dhcp-3.0.4-i486-2.tgz: Fixed incorrect man page permissions. Thanks to Jerome Pinot. n/iptables-1.3.5-i486-2.tgz: Updated a rather ancient description file. Thanks to Sean Donner for noticing that. I hope the many folks still running Linux 2.2.x were adequately warned. n/php-4.4.4-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled against libmysqlclient. n/samba-3.0.23c-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to samba-3.0.23c. n/sendmail-8.13.8-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled with official patch. "(2006-08-30) If sendmail is used with -bs and a mail filter (milter) is configured, an assertion can be triggered. This patch fixes the bug." Thanks much to Jakub Jankowski for the heads up. n/sendmail-cf-8.13.8-noarch-3.tgz extra/ktorrent/ktorrent-2.0.2-i486-1.tgz: Added ktorrent-2.0.2. Thanks to Erik Jan Tromp for showing me this one. I've always used the command line BT clients (usually in "screen"), but this is nice, doesn't require mainline BitTorrent or any non-KDE dependencies, and will work great for downloading (and seeding) Slackware ISO images. :-) extra/linux-wlan-ng/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre25_2.4.33.3-i486-1.tgz: Recompiled for Linux 2.4.33.3. extra/php5/php-5.1.6-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled against libmysqlclient. bootdisks/*: Upgraded to Linux 2.4.33.3 kernels. kernels/*: Upgraded to Linux 2.4.33.3 kernels, except the huge.s kernel. In raid.s, switch from the megaraid to megaraid2 driver. This should support everything the old driver did and then some. If there are problems, let me know ASAP. Thanks to Michael Johnson. isolinux/initrd.img: Upgraded USB/IEEE1394 modules to Linux 2.4.33.3. Eric Hameleers and I did a bit more work on the NFS installer (in the install.* rootdisks below, too). Now installing via NFS will attempt to mount the root of the Slackware tree first, rather than only the /slackware directory within. This (if successful), allows choosing a kernel to install later on, just like installing from CD, DVD, or hard drive. If it doesn't work (perhaps only /slackware is exported) then the installer will fall back on the traditional behavior. Thanks to everyone who suggested this idea from time to time, and thanks to Eric for finally making it happen. isolinux/network.dsk: Upgraded network modules to Linux 2.4.33.3. isolinux/pcmcia.dsk: Upgraded pcmcia modules to Linux 2.4.33.3. rootdisks/install.1: Upgraded USB/IEEE1394 modules to Linux 2.4.33.3. rootdisks/install.2: Upgraded USB/IEEE1394 modules to Linux 2.4.33.3. rootdisks/install.zip: Upgraded USB/IEEE1394 modules to Linux 2.4.33.3. rootdisks/network.dsk: Upgraded network modules to Linux 2.4.33.3. rootdisks/pcmcia.dsk: Upgraded pcmcia network modules to Linux 2.4.33.3. I can be off topic here, right? BIG congratulations to my little sister Jennifer on the birth of her daughter Abigail Jane. Mazel Tov! :-) +--------------------------+ Tue Aug 29 06:24:26 CDT 2006 a/util-linux-2.12r-i486-4.tgz: Fixed incorrect permissions on /var/lock. Thanks to Steven Robson. f/linux-howtos-20060829-noarch-1.tgz: Updated the HOWTOs again. I guess back in February this must have been looking ready to release. ;-) Thanks to Szymczak Artur for noticing the HOWTOs were stale. x/x11-6.9.0-i486-10.tgz: Reverted the ATI hang patch after problem reports. If you were helped by the patch it'll be held in /extra for the release so that hopefully everyone can enjoy a working ATI card. :-) Thanks again to Mark Canter, as this is a real problem but the patch does seem to introduce some new issues of its own. It's good to have an alternate driver just in case, though. x/x11-devel-6.9.0-i486-10.tgz: Recompiled. x/x11-xdmx-6.9.0-i486-10.tgz: Recompiled. x/x11-xnest-6.9.0-i486-10.tgz: Recompiled. x/x11-xvfb-6.9.0-i486-10.tgz: Recompiled. extra/slackpkg/slackpkg-2.09-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to slackpkg-2.09-noarch-1. Thanks to Piter Punk. extra/x11-radeon-patched/x11-radeon-patched-6.9.0-i486-1.tgz: Here's the patched radeon module from the -9 X.Org Slackware packages. There's a README file included with it explaining what it is for with references to a discussion of the issue. isolinux/initrd.img: Fixed an installer bug where setup would ask which swap partitions you'd like to use and then conveniently set them all up for you if you selected at least one. Thanks to DEF. rootdisks/install.1: Fixed a bug where libraries that were moved to install.2 to make space on install.1 were needed by /bin/mount. Thanks to David Bray. rootdisks/install.2: Moved a couple of libraries to install.1. Fixed installer swap bug. rootdisks/install.zip: Fixed installer swap bug. +--------------------------+ Sun Aug 27 05:36:53 CDT 2006 ap/vim-7.0.066-i486-2.tgz: Use the default vanilla system vimrc as distributed with the vim sources. Thanks to J for mentioning that using vim with 'crontab -e' was working fine without any additions to the vimrc. d/m4-1.4.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to m4-1.4.6. l/libpng-1.2.12-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled so that libpng.so.* links to libz and libm. This has been a point of contention for a long time with the PNG folks maintaining that you shouldn't have to link libpng this way. Well, just about everyone else builds libpng to link with -lz and -lm automatically, but I've held my ground along with the PNG team (usually I will defer to upstream and will send people there with these kinds of requests). Today Janusz Dziemidowicz pointed out that if you build libpng with ./configure that now it *is* linking to these. Good enough reason to end this problem right now. Thanks Janusz, for pointing out that discrepancy and sending in a patch. :-) n/irssi-0.8.10a-i486-4.tgz: Removed duplicates and unformatted files from docs/help directory. Thanks to James Michael Fultz. x/dejavu-ttf/dejavu-ttf-2.9-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to dejavu-ttf-2.9. Moved from /extra into the X series. Thanks to the DejaVu team (http://dejavu.sf.net) for the superb work. x/fontconfig-2.2.3-i486-2.tgz: Patched /etc/fonts.conf to favor the DejaVu fonts over the Vera ones if they are present on the machine. US English users should notice only minor (if any) differences with this patch, but other users could see their language displayed properly out-of-the box for the first time. :-) x/x11-6.9.0-i486-9.tgz: Patched a PCF font parsing bug that could crash X. Fixed the Greek keyboard layout. Thanks to Thanos Kyritsis. Fixed ATI lockup bugs. Thanks to Mark Canter. x/x11-devel-6.9.0-i486-9.tgz: Recompiled. x/x11-xdmx-6.9.0-i486-9.tgz: Recompiled. x/x11-xnest-6.9.0-i486-9.tgz: Recompiled. x/x11-xvfb-6.9.0-i486-9.tgz: Recompiled. xap/seamonkey-1.0.4-i486-3.tgz: Fixed world-writable docs.

I think most of the irresistible upgrades are in here now, and the bug reports have been mostly handled. There may still be a few changes, and possibly another release candidate, but this is pretty close to final with the exception of updating documentation and building ZipSlack. Thanks very much to everyone who is helping to test these release candidates -- I think this is going to be a very up to date and stable release. :-) a/glibc-solibs-2.3.6-i486-5.tgz: Patched an issue with kernel version parsing in ld-2.3.6.so that was leading glibc to treat 2.4 kernels with 4 version parts (such as 2.4.33.2) as if they supported NPTL, leading to a crash at boot. a/glibc-zoneinfo-2.3.6-noarch-5.tgz: Updated timezone information from tzdata2006j. a/kernel-ide-2.4.33.2-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to 2.4.33.2 sata.i kernel. Enabled support for OOM killer and HIGHMEM4G. a/kernel-modules-2.4.33.2-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.4.33.2 modules. a/udev-097-i486-6.tgz: Restore ttyUSB access to members of the tty group. Thanks to Eugene Crosser. In rc.udev, ignore lines that start with '#'. Thanks to Ian Bates. Removed hostap and hostap_cs dupes from blacklist. Thanks to giovanni quadriglio. Patched rc.optical-symlinks to avoid error messages with real SCSI devices and the SCSI generic driver. Thanks to Lorenzo Buzzi. ap/lm_sensors-2.10.0-i486-1.tgz: Added lm_sensors-2.10.0, which contains the libsensors library that KDE can use for hardware status monitoring. ap/vim-7.0.066-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to vim 7.0.066. Added reasonable default vimrc if none exists. Thanks to Eric Hameleers. xap/vim-gvim-7.0.066-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gvim 7.0.066 (requires vim). d/kernel-headers-2.4.33.2-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.4.33.2 headers. d/perl-5.8.8-i486-2.tgz: Upgraded to DBD-mysql-3.0006 and DBI-1.52. Eugene Crosser reported that DBD compiled against an older version of libmysqlclient no longer worked without a recompile. Just to be on the safe side, everything linked with libmysqlclient is getting recompiled. d/pkgconfig-0.21-i486-2.tgz: Export PKG_CONFIG_PATH. k/kernel-source-2.4.33.2-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.4.33.2 source. Enabled support for OOM killer and HIGHMEM4G in default .config. kde/amarok-1.4.2-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to amarok-1.4.2. kde/kdebase-3.5.4-i486-6.tgz: Recompiled to use libsensors with ksysguardd. Fixed location of kdeglobals, removed font defaults but kept the anti-aliasing fixes. kde/koffice-1.5.2-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled against libmysqlclient and libruby. kde/qt-3.3.6-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled against libmysqlclient, added symlink in /usr/lib/pkgconfig to qt-mt.pc. l/alsa-driver-1.0.11_2.4.33.2-i486-1.tgz: Recompiled for Linux 2.4.33.2. l/glibc-2.3.6-i486-5.tgz: Patched an issue with kernel version parsing in ld-2.3.6.so that was leading glibc to treat 2.4 kernels with 4 version parts (such as 2.4.33.2) as if they supported NPTL, leading to a crash at boot. Added sa_IN and ru_RU.CP1251 locale support. Updated timezone information from tzdata2006j. Updated timezone utilities from tzcode2006j. l/glibc-i18n-2.3.6-noarch-5.tgz: Rebuilt. Added sa_IN and ru_RU.CP1251 locale support. l/glibc-profile-2.3.6-i486-5.tgz: Recompiled. l/libmusicbrainz-2.1.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to libmusicbrainz-2.1.4. l/libvisual-0.4.0-i486-1.tgz: Added libvisual-0.4.0. Just the library for now (no plugins), but this should make it much easier to compile and use audio visualization plugins without having to recompile amaroK. n/bitchx-1.1-i486-4.tgz: Recompiled against libmysqlclient. n/openldap-client-2.3.27-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to openldap-client-2.3.27. n/php-4.4.4-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled against libmysqlclient. t/tetex-3.0-i486-4.tgz: Recompiled against new LessTif to stop warnings from xdvi. t/tetex-doc-3.0-i486-4.tgz: Rebuilt.

After much thought and consultation with developers, it has been decided to move 2.6.17.x out of /testing and into /extra. It runs stable by all reports, has better wireless support, and is not going to be stale as soon. In addition, HIGHMEM4G has been enabled. This caused no problems with my old 486 with 24MB (the one I use for compiling KDE ;-), and Tomas Matejicek has enabled this in SLAX for a long time with no reports of problems, so I believe it is a safe option (and is needed by many modern machines). Thanks again to Andrea for building these kernels and packages. :-) kernels/huge26.s/*: Upgraded huge26.s kernel to 2.6.17.11. extra/linux-2.6.17.11/kernel-generic-2.6.17.11-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.17.11 generic kernel. extra/linux-2.6.17.11/kernel-headers-2.6.17.11-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.17.11 kernel headers. extra/linux-2.6.17.11/kernel-modules-2.6.17.11-i486-1.tgz Upgraded to Linux 2.6.17.11 kernel modules.

Don't try to mount usbfs if it's in /proc/mounts already. a/tar-1.15.1-i486-2.tgz: Patched to be less strict about the option order. Thanks to Jonathan A. Irwin for sending me a patch from Sergey Poznyakoff. a/udev-097-i486-4.tgz: Changed default udev log level from err to crit. Refuse to run udev unless the kernel is 2.6.15+. Thanks to Sean Donner. a/util-linux-2.12r-i486-2.tgz: Added schedutils-1.5.0 which is apparently due to be merged into util-linux upstream sometime soon anyway. Thanks to Jonathan Woithe for the suggestion. ap/diffutils-2.8.1-i486-2.tgz: Patched a bug in sdiff.

Requested by Zack Smith. +--------------------------+ Sat Aug 19 23:58:27 CDT 2006 This is mostly frozen now unless bugs (or irresistible upgrades) come up, so I'll call this update Slackware 11.0 release candidate 2. :-) a/kernel-ide-2.4.33-i486-2.tgz: Switched to the sata.i kernel which supports both parallel and serial ATA. a/kernel-modules-2.4.33-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled. Upgraded to Linux 2.4.33 kernel modules. d/pkgconfig-0.21-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to pkg-config-0.21. Set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH to search in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig and /opt/kde/lib/pkgconfig, too. Thanks, Seb! d/kernel-headers-2.4.33-i386-2.tgz: Rebuilt. k/kernel-source-2.4.33-noarch-2.tgz: Updated the default .config to include SATA support. Oh, and yes I did see 2.4.33.1.

(there was a conflict before with this and the Sil SATA driver but it was fixed) +--------------------------+ Wed Aug 16 19:11:39 CDT 2006 a/aaa_base-11.0.0-noarch-1.tgz: Added /usr/share/info -> ../info symlink. Bumped /etc/slackware-version number to 11.0.0. Changed version number (but little else yet) in initial email. a/hotplug-2004_09_23-noarch-10.tgz: Corrected typo in rc.hotplug.

Thanks to Bernd Noessler for letting me know about this -- freshmeat.net still points to a much older version of genpower. a/less-394-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to less-394. Thanks to Haakon Riiser for suggesting this and confirming that less-394 is an official stable release. Added RAR support to lesspipe.sh. Thanks to Manolis Tzanidakis. a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-64.tgz: In rc.M, check better for udev before running rc.optical-symlinks, and run the script in a login shell which might fix the error "-bash: let: expression expected" that some people have reported. Thanks to Michiel Broek for the hint about using a login shell. ap/mt-st-0.9b-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mt-st-0.9b.

Thanks to Tomasz Luczak for the bug report. +--------------------------+ Tue Aug 15 01:20:55 CDT 2006 a/devs-2.3.1-noarch-24.tgz: Added udev-style /dev/md/* devices to save people who boot between 2.4.x and 2.6.x kernels some trouble. Thanks to Mircea Baciu for pointing out this possibility. Note: Upgrading the devs package while running udev will NOT work. a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-63.tgz: Patched rc.4 to check both /usr/bin and /usr/sbin for gdm. Thanks to Scott J. Harmon. Added a warning in rc.S that if you make an rc.modules.local that the other rc.modules script(s) will not be run. Don't try to start udev if sysfs and tmpfs are not in the kernel. Use grep '-q' option instead of '> /dev/null' in many places. a/udev-097-i486-2.tgz: Don't run rc.udev if tmpfs is not in the kernel. Thanks to Gunnar Florus Johansen. ap/sysstat-7.0.0-i486-1.tgz: Added sysstat-7.0.0.

Thanks to Piter Punk. +--------------------------+ Mon Aug 14 02:23:30 CDT 2006 There are still a few changes yet to happen, but let's call this Slackware 11.0 release candidate 1. :-) a/glibc-solibs-2.3.6-i486-4.tgz: Recompiled. a/glibc-zoneinfo-2.3.6-noarch-4.tgz: Updated to tzcode2006i and tzdata2006g. a/kernel-ide-2.4.33-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.4.33 bare.i kernel. a/kernel-modules-2.4.33-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.4.33 kernel modules. a/udev-097-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to udev-097. Updated the rc.optical-symlinks script. Added locking to cdrom-symlinks.sh and nethelper.sh scripts to avoid race conditions at boot time. Thanks to Piter Punk. Fixed bugs in rc.udev where the script attempts to mount devpts and usbfs even if they are already mounted. Thanks to Gunnar Florus Johansen. d/kernel-headers-2.4.33-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.4.33 kernel headers. k/kernel-source-2.4.33-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.4.33 kernel source. l/alsa-driver-1.0.11_2.4.33-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to alsa-driver compiled for Linux 2.4.33. l/glibc-2.3.6-i486-4.tgz: Recompiled against Linux 2.4.33 and 2.6.16.27 kernel headers. l/glibc-i18n-2.3.6-noarch-4.tgz: Rebuilt. l/glibc-profile-2.3.6-i486-4.tgz: Recompiled. l/jre-1_5_0_08-i586-1.tgz: Upgraded to Java(TM) 2 Platform Standard Edition Runtime Environment Version 5.0, Release 8. n/tcpip-0.17-i486-38.tgz: Upgraded to ethtool-4. Upgraded to tftp-0.42. Relinked /bin/ftp with correct libreadline. Thanks to Udo A. Steinberg. extra/jdk-1.5.0_08/jdk-1_5_0_08-i586-1.tgz: Upgraded to Java(TM) 2 Platform Standard Edition Development Kit Version 5.0, Release 8. bootdisks/*: Upgraded to Linux 2.4.33 kernels. isolinux/initrd.img: Upgraded USB/IEEE1394 modules to Linux 2.4.33. isolinux/network.dsk: Upgraded network modules to Linux 2.4.33. isolinux/pcmcia.dsk: Upgraded pcmcia modules to Linux 2.4.33. kernels/*: Upgraded 2.4.x kernels to Linux 2.4.33 kernels. rootdisks/install.1: Upgraded USB/IEEE1394 modules to Linux 2.4.33. rootdisks/install.2: Upgraded USB/IEEE1394 modules to Linux 2.4.33. rootdisks/install.zip: Upgraded USB/IEEE1394 modules to Linux 2.4.33. rootdisks/network.dsk: Upgraded network modules to Linux 2.4.33. rootdisks/pcmcia.dsk: Upgraded pcmcia modules to Linux 2.4.33. +--------------------------+ Sat Aug 12 01:14:17 CDT 2006 a/hotplug-2004_09_23-noarch-9.tgz: Skip rc.hotplug if a new enough udev is running on a 2.6 kernel. No wonder the boot time didn't seem faster! :-) a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-62.tgz: If udev hasn't made /dev/cdrom and other symlinks, call a script from rc.M to make them. Added support to rc.K and rc.6 for an /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown script. Thanks to Robert Boucher for the idea. Rob McGee and others have made similar requests before... thanks to all! a/udev-096-i486-4.tgz: Generate network card naming rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/network-devices.rules, but comment them out. I think these additions are not quite reliable enough in all cases to be the default for the Slackware 11 release (of course, you have udev occasionally detecting multiple network cards in a different order, and so on some router machines these rules will be needed). Or, you could run a 2.4.x kernel. ;-) If your system is naming network devices strangely you should delete your existing /etc/udev/rules.d/network-devices.rules and reboot. If that doesn't do the trick you'll probably need to edit the file. Instead of having udev make the CD/DVD symlinks, have a new script called /lib/udev/rc.optical-symlinks do it. If you'd rather use Piter Punk's method (which works better for hotplugging USB optical drives, for example), then just comment/uncomment the appropriate rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/udev.rules. n/whois-4.7.15-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to whois-4.7.15. Thanks to Gianluca Varisco for pointing out the new release. xap/gimp-2.2.12-i486-2.tgz: Fixed broken gimptool man page symlink. +--------------------------+ Fri Aug 11 03:18:18 CDT 2006 a/aaa_elflibs-11.0.0-i486-7.tgz: Fixed libmm perms and location. Thanks to Fred Emmott. Upgraded libmm to 1.4.1. Reverted to CUPS libraries from 1.1.23. a/cups-1.1.23-i486-3.tgz: Reverted to cups-1.1.23 due to some applications needing time to adjust to no longer having access to the private CUPS functions. ;-) See below for more info. a/etc-5.1-noarch-13.tgz: Upgraded /etc/services to include IPP (for CUPS) and other new services. Thanks to Christophe Legras for reminding me to upgrade this file, and to Two Beans for mailing me a more recent copy. l/hicolor-icon-theme-0.9-noarch-2.tgz: Fixed slack-desc typo. Reported by Willy Sudiarto Raharjo. l/mm-1.4.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mm-1.4.1. Looks like libmm was split out of the Apache package just in time. ;-) n/samba-3.0.23b-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled against CUPS 1.1.23. n/sendmail-8.13.8-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled with DBROKEN_PTHREAD_SLEEP defined in site.config.m4, which fixes a problem with libmilter.a that can cause sendmail milters to be unstable. Thanks to Jan Rafaj for reporting this bug, the fix, and for testing the problem so throughly. n/sendmail-cf-8.13.8-noarch-2.tgz: Rebuilt. n/tcpip-0.17-i486-37.tgz: Removed redundant copy of /etc/services. testing/packages/cups-1.2.2/cups-1.2.2-i486-1.tgz: It seems as if KDE might still not be 100% ready for CUPS 1.2.x, so we're going to move this into /testing again for the release, but by all means use it if it works for you. It did mostly work here, but the problems with using it with KDE are also reproducable. Thanks to Thomas Hanslík for the information. Anyway, I had my suspicions that *something* was going to have linked with private CUPS functions or that this might break something in some way, but I also knew this package would get better testing in slackware/a than in /testing. :-) So, now we know that it's probably safer to wait on cups-1.2.x. Thomas also mentioned a workaround -- editing cupsd.conf to comment out this line: # Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock +--------------------------+ Thu Aug 10 02:07:10 CDT 2006 a/aaa_elflibs-11.0.0-i486-6.tgz: Added libmm. a/pkgtools-11.0.0-i486-1.tgz: Fixed xwmconfig to only recommend installed window managers. Thanks to Leandro Toledo. Merged in patches for xorgsetup to support choosing a keyboard model, layout, variant, and even automatically configuring a mouse scroll wheel! :-) Thanks to Ismael Cortes for the patches. l/gnome-icon-theme-2.14.2-noarch-1.tgz: Added gnome-icon-theme-2.14.2. It seems that GTK+ applications such as Thunderbird use these, not just GNOME. l/gtk+2-2.8.20-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gtk+-2.8.20. l/hicolor-icon-theme-0.9-noarch-1.tgz: Added hicolor-icon-theme-0.9. l/mm-1.4.0-i486-1.tgz: Moved mm library out of the Apache package so that apps such as the standalone PHP interpreter can use it without installing Apache. Thanks to Robert Easter for the suggestion. l/shared-mime-info-0.18-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to shared-mime-info-0.18. n/apache-1.3.37-i486-2.tgz: Removed mm-1.4.0 from the build directory and recompiled against the system mm package. This now depends on having the mm package from the L series installed. n/lftp-3.5.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to lftp-3.5.4. n/sendmail-8.13.8-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to sendmail-8.13.8. That's what I get for trying to patch 8.13.7 myself last night. ;-) n/sendmail-cf-8.13.8-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to sendmail-8.13.8 configs. x/x11-6.9.0-i486-8.tgz: More updates to the i945gm chipset support. Thanks to Sergio A. Reyes-Peniche. x/x11-devel-6.9.0-i486-8.tgz: Recompiled and removed fontconfig manpages. x/x11-xdmx-6.9.0-i486-8.tgz: Recompiled. x/x11-xnest-6.9.0-i486-8.tgz: Recompiled. x/x11-xvfb-6.9.0-i486-8.tgz: Recompiled. xap/sane-1.0.18-i486-2.tgz: Added /etc/udev/rules.d/libsane.rules. Thanks to David Somero for pointing out this file. isolinux/initrd.img: Merged in many installer patches from Stuart Winter. pasture/: Some cleanup... rootdisks/install.1: Rebuilt with installer patches. rootdisks/install.2: Rebuilt with installer patches. rootdisks/install.zip: Rebuilt with installer patches. rootdisks/network.dsk: Rebuilt with gcc-3.4.6 compiled modules. rootdisks/pcmcia.dsk: Rebuilt with gcc-3.4.6 compiled modules. testing/packages/php-5.1.4/php-5.1.4-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled with freetype. Fixed FastCGI by removing --enable-discard-path from CGI version. Added pdo_sqlite.so and sqlite.so modules. +--------------------------+ Wed Aug 9 00:25:53 CDT 2006 a/aaa_elflibs-11.0.0-i486-5.tgz: Added new CUPS libraries. a/cups-1.2.2-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to cups-1.2.2. a/hdparm-6.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to hdparm-6.6. Suggested by Janusz Dziemidowicz. a/udev-096-i486-3.tgz: In /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, change module name from i810_tco to i8xx_tco. Thanks to Janusz Dziemidowicz. Piter Punk also wants me to remind everyone that this udev package requires a 2.6.15+ kernel or it will not work. ;-) ap/mc-4.6.1-i486-2.tgz: Fixed PHP syntax highlighting. Thanks to Georgi Chorbadzhiyski for the patch. n/samba-3.0.23b-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to samba-3.0.23b. n/sendmail-8.13.7-i486-2.tgz: Applied two errata patches from sendmail.org. Thanks to Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi for pointing out these patches. n/sendmail-cf-8.13.7-noarch-2.tgz: Rebuilt. x/x11-6.9.0-i486-7.tgz: More updates to the i945gm chipset support. Thanks to Raphaël Prevost for the updated patch. x/x11-devel-6.9.0-i486-7.tgz: Recompiled. x/x11-xdmx-6.9.0-i486-7.tgz: Recompiled. x/x11-xnest-6.9.0-i486-7.tgz: Recompiled. x/x11-xvfb-6.9.0-i486-7.tgz: Recompiled. +--------------------------+ Tue Aug 8 00:55:52 CDT 2006 a/aaa_elflibs-11.0.0-i486-4.tgz: Added new version of libcurl. a/etc-5.1-noarch-12.tgz: Patched /etc/profile and /etc/csh.login to fix a bug where changing to another user with "su - someuser" would produce an error message such as "/dev/pts/2: Operation not permitted". Thanks to Menno Duursma for the fix. a/findutils-4.2.28-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to findutils-4.2.28. a/gawk-3.1.5-i486-3.tgz: Patched a fieldwidths bug. Thanks to Fabiano Caixeta Duarte for a pointer to the patch. a/lilo-22.7.1-i486-2.tgz: Fixed a typo in liloconfig where installing to the MBR was mentioned twice. Thanks to Keith McGavin for pointing this out. a/udev-096-i486-2.tgz: Added the psmouse module to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist so that /etc/rc.d/rc.modules can load it using the option "proto=imps". This change restores the mouse options used in Slackware 10.2. At least on my machine, the default module options render the mouse completely unusable, but feel free to remove the module from the blacklist or configure rc.modules to your liking if this is not the ideal default for your machine. ap/mdadm-2.5.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mdadm-2.5.3. Thanks to James W. Laferriere and Gianluca Varisco for pointing this out. kde/kdebase-3.5.4-i486-3.tgz: Patched a bug involving external taskbars that expand as required to fit contents. Thanks to Dirk Mueller for the patch. n/curl-7.15.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to curl-7.15.5. Thanks to Gianluca Varisco for suggesting this upgrade. n/dnsmasq-2.33-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to dnsmasq-2.33.

There are a few reports that the newest udev is not friendly to some systems. Well, that's progress for you -- it isn't always a smooth journey. In most cases the problems I've heard about could be fixed with a little bit of fine tuning, such as blacklisting unwanted modules in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and loading the desired replacements in /etc/rc.d/rc.modules. However, in case either of these older versions of udev worked better for you, they'll be kept in /extra for a while as alternates. Be aware that new kernels will soon require the latest udev, though... extra/udev-alternate-versions/udev-064-i486-2.tgz: Added alternate udev-064. extra/udev-alternate-versions/udev-071-i486-2.tgz: Added alternate udev-071. testing/packages/linux-2.6.17.8/kernel-generic-2.6.17.8-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.17.8 generic kernel. testing/packages/linux-2.6.17.8/kernel-headers-2.6.17.8-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.17.8 kernel headers. testing/packages/linux-2.6.17.8/kernel-modules-2.6.17.8-i486-1.tgz Upgraded to Linux 2.6.17.8 kernel modules. testing/packages/linux-2.6.17.8/kernel-source-2.6.17.8-noarch-1.tgz Upgraded to Linux 2.6.17.8 kernel source. Thanks again to Andrea Volkerding for building the 2.6.17.8 kernels. +--------------------------+ Mon Aug 7 01:43:38 CDT 2006 a/pcmciautils-014-i486-1.tgz: Added pcmciautils-014, needed to configure PC cards on systems running 2.6.x kernels. a/sysfsutils-2.0.0-i486-2.tgz: Added missing libsysfs.so symlink. a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-61.tgz: Merged Piter Punk's changes for the new udev. Please make sure to move all the .new files in /etc/rc.d/ into place for this to work correctly! a/udev-096-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to udev-096. Thanks to Piter Punk for his great work to get this just exactly perfect. a/grep-2.5-i486-3.tgz: Improved build script and rebuilt. I considered using grep-2.5.1a, but found some problem reports concerning it and decided such an upgrade would be best left for the next -current. There have been no bug reports here concerning grep-2.5, so I see no reason to fix that which does not appear to be broken. It's more important to have a known to be stable grep than it is to have the latest version, IMHO. a/pciutils-2.2.3-i486-2.tgz: Fixed missing pci/types.h header file. Thanks to Konrad Rzepecki. ap/man-pages-2.39-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to man-pages-2.39. n/lftp-3.5.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to lftp-3.5.3. n/ncftp-3.2.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to ncftp-3.2.0. n/popa3d-1.0.2-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to popa3d-1.0.2. n/vsftpd-2.0.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to vsftpd-2.0.5. xap/imagemagick-6.2.8_8-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to ImageMagick-6.2.8-8. xap/sane-1.0.18-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to sane-backends-1.0.18. extra/grub/grub-0.97-i486-2.tgz: Upgraded to grubconfig-1.28. +--------------------------+ Sat Aug 5 23:22:13 CDT 2006 a/usbutils-0.72-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to usbutils-0.72, patched to add back usbmodules since hotplug will need it for as long as the 2.4.x kernel is supported. ap/mdadm-2.5.2-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mdadm-2.5.2. ap/mysql-5.0.24-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mysql-5.0.24.

Thanks to Frédéric L. W. Meunier for the bug report and patch link. l/freetype-2.1.9-i486-1.tgz: Moved from the X to the L series. This makes more sense because freetype does not depend on any X11 libraries, and because PHP has now been built linked to libfreetype. l/libusb-0.1.12-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to libusb-0.1.12. Thanks to Gunnar Florus Johansen and CJ Johnson for the recommendation. n/links-2.1pre23-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to links-2.1pre23. n/php-4.4.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to php-4.4.3. From the announcement of the release: The security issues resolved include the following: * Disallow certain characters in session names. * Fixed a buffer overflow inside the wordwrap() function. * Prevent jumps to parent directory via the 2nd parameter of the tempnam() function. * Improved safe_mode check for the error_log() function. * Fixed cross-site scripting inside the phpinfo() function. The PHP 4.4.3 release announcement may be found on their web site: http://www.php.net NOTE: Slackware's PHP package now requires the freetype library. (* Security fix *) xap/xchat-2.6.6-i486-2.tgz: Patched to fix Finnish translation errors. Thanks to C Johnson for pointing out that there was a new official patch. extra/linux-2.6.16.27/kernel-modules-2.6.16.27-i486-4.tgz: Fixed 2.4 kernel detection for loading the apm module. testing/packages/linux-2.6.17.7/kernel-modules-2.6.17.7-i486-3.tgz: Fixed 2.4 kernel detection for loading the apm module. +--------------------------+ Fri Aug 4 02:36:54 CDT 2006 xap/mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.6-i686-1.tgz: Upgraded to firefox-1.5.0.6. xap/seamonkey-1.0.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to seamonkey-1.0.4. +--------------------------+ Thu Aug 3 01:26:43 CDT 2006 a/gettext-0.15-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gettext-0.15. Thanks to steveo for noticing that this was missing from the ChangeLog. a/lilo-22.7.1-i486-1.tgz: Reverted to lilo-22.7.1 after reports from Aaron Lee and Philip Langdale that versions 22.7.2+ skip the boot menu on some machines. a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-60.tgz: Fixed rc.S to use /etc/rc.d/rc.modules.local properly. Bug reported by Dieter Rauschenberger, Ricardo García, and Luis. Use "/bin/sh" not "." to start rc.modules.local in case someone uses "exit". Merged more LVM changes from Cal Peake in rc.S and rc.M, including removing many uses of "sleep", so if anyone needed those let me know. ap/at-3.1.10-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to at-3.1.10. Added missing at_allow.5 manpage. Thanks to James Michael Fultz. ap/cdparanoia-IIIalpha9.8-i486-2.tgz: Patched to compile with gcc-3.4.6, and added a batch to the build directory for later that will use the 2.6.x kernel's SG_IO ioctl. Thanks to Bradley Reed. d/gettext-tools-0.15-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gettext-tools-0.15. Thanks to steveo for noticing that this was missing from the ChangeLog. l/arts-1.5.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to arts-1.5.4. kde/*: Upgraded to KDE 3.5.4. I know I told at least a few people that I wasn't planning on including this in Slackware 11.0 at the last minute, and there have been a couple of patches needed for it already. Please test quickly. :-) kdei/kde-i18n*: Upgraded kde-i18n packages for KDE 3.5.4. n/dnsmasq-2.32-i486-2.tgz: Rebuilt after build script fixes from Fred Emmott (moving the chown -R), and some more from me. Strangely, none of these fixes seemed to make any difference in the package that was output, but trust me, the build script is much better now. :-) n/gnupg-1.4.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gnupg-1.4.5. From the gnupg-1.4.5 NEWS file: * Fixed 2 more possible memory allocation attacks. They are similar to the problem we fixed with 1.4.4. This bug can easily be be exploited for a DoS; remote code execution is not entirely impossible. (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Tue Aug 1 19:04:52 CDT 2006 a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-59.tgz: In rc.S, give first priority to "rc.modules.local" if it exists. Try to shut down OpenLDAP in rc.6. Thanks to Ricardson Williams. Merged some more LVM fixes into rc.6. Thanks to Cal Peake. d/autoconf-2.60-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to autoconf-2.60. kde/qca-tls-1.0-i486-2.tgz: Use the actual Qt installation path and not the /usr/lib/qt symlink or the qca-tls module will be erased if the Qt package is installed after this one (as happens in a new installation). Thanks to Richard Fuller for the bug report. extra/checkinstall/checkinstall-1.6.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to checkinstall-1.6.0. testing/packages/lvm2/device-mapper-1.02.08-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to device-mapper.1.02.08. testing/packages/lvm2/lvm2-2.02.07-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to LVM2.2.02.07. +--------------------------+ Tue Aug 1 01:11:11 CDT 2006 a/aaa_elflibs-11.0.0-i486-2.tgz: Added /usr/lib/libslang.so.2.0.6. a/bin-11.0-i486-3.tgz: Removed /sbin/rescan-scsi-bus, which is better packaged along with the /etc/rc.d/rc.scanluns script in the sysvinit package. a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-58.tgz: Added symlinks for lastb. Make the install script create /var/log/btmp if it doesn't already exist. Thanks to Menno Duursma, Tomas Matejicek, and Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi. Upgraded to the latest rescan-scsi-bus script. Thanks to Mircea Baciu for pointing it out. Use "tac" to deactivate LVM partitions in reverse order. Thanks to Luigi Genoni. Make sure usbfs gets mounted if it's in the kernel but hotplug is not used. Thanks to Cal Peake. If rc.M sees an executable rc.openldap, start it. Thanks to Christopher Linnet. In rc.scanluns, show the command that's being executed. ap/jed-0.99_18-i486-3.tgz: Relinked against libslang.so.2.0.6. This does seem to be the path of least resistance. :-) d/subversion-1.3.2-i486-3.tgz: Rebuilt to fix wrong file ownerships in the book included in the documentation. Thanks to Philip Lyons. kde/kdenetwork-3.5.3-i486-3a.tgz: Patched for ICQ protocol changes. kde/qca-1.0-i486-1.tgz: Added qca-1.0. kde/qca-tls-1.0-i486-1.tgz: Added qca-tls-1.0. This and the qca package are needed to support SSL connections with the Jabber(R) protocol in Kopete. Thanks to Eric Hameleers, Markus Stauffer, and "--==HITMAN==--" for suggesting the addition of these QCA packages. l/atk-1.10.3-i486-2.tgz: Fixed slack-desc typo.

Thanks to Valentin Avram and William Hunt for reporting this. ap/jed-0.99_18-i486-2.tgz: Reverted to isearch.sl from jed-0.99_16. The version shipped in 0.99_18 seems to have problems unless jed is linked with slang-2, which we're putting off for a little while due to the major version bump and to let code that uses slang have a little time to catch up. Thanks to Luigi Genoni for the bug report and fix. Thanks as well to Petri Kaukasoina who also reported the problem. ap/mysql-5.0.22-i486-2.tgz: Reverted to MySQL-5.0.22. Evidently MySQL-5.0.23 was never officially released due to bugs, but made it to the mirror sites anyway. Beat Vontobel's web site has some additional information about this: http://www.futhark.ch/mysql/148.html Thanks very much to Jakub Jankowski telling me the deal about 5.0.23. ap/vim-7.0.042-i486-2.tgz: Upgraded to ctags-5.6.

This is needed by subversion and other projects like Apache2. Thanks to Eugene Crosser for the suggestion and detailed rationale behind not using the apr/apr-util in subversion. l/apr-util-1.2.7-i486-1.tgz: Added apr-util-1.2.7. This is needed by subversion and other projects. n/bind-9.3.2-i486-4.tgz: Recompiled with --enable-threads.

Thanks to Piter Punk. +--------------------------+ Fri Jul 28 17:32:54 CDT 2006 n/apache-1.3.37-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to apache-1.3.37. 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 *) n/mod_ssl-2.8.28_1.3.37-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mod_ssl-2.8.28-1.3.37. +--------------------------+ Fri Jul 28 02:28:10 CDT 2006 a/bin-11.0-i486-2.tgz: Updated rescan-scsi-bus for 2.6 kernel compatibility.

Added rc.scanluns to look for devices on non-zero LUNs. Shut down sshd in rc.6 so connections don't hang; Thanks to Michael Iatrou and Steven Saner for reporting this issue. Changed how LVM2 is deactivated in rc.6 (thanks to Cal Peake). Previously there were problems since / might have already been remounted as read-only before LVM2 was taken down. Now I suspect there could be problems if the / is on LVM, so perhaps this is not the optimal solution... Umount CIFS filesystems in rc.6 (thanks to Jef Oliver). Umount NFS, SMB, and CIFS filesystems in rc.K; Thanks to Drew, and to Eric Hameleers for the bug reports. Fixed chown root:utmp in rc.S to use ':', not '.' (thanks to Adiel Mittmann). Remove saslauthd.pid (if present) in rc.S (thanks to Andy Preston). Stop saslauthd properly in rc.6 (thanks to Andy Preston). Don't shut down networking in rc.6 if / is on NFS (thanks to Luca Fabbro). Add a one second sleep after starting rc.udev. According to Robby Workman this is just enough time for some slower devices to activate for mount. Load rc.keymap in rc.K (thanks to Ignacio Bermejo). Use "respawn" rather than "wait" for runlevel 4 (thanks to Wayne Marshall). Don't try to mount sysfs twice in rc.S (thanks to Moo). d/python-2.4.3-i486-4.tgz: Fixed build script bugs.

Added many extra features. Thanks to Ricardo García for requesting omni completion for vim, which got me thinking about all kinds of ways to improve this and the (renamed) vim-gvim package. :-) d/clisp-2.39-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to clisp-2.39 and libsigsegv-2.4. d/git-1.4.1.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to git-1.4.1.1. d/m4-1.4.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to m4-1.4.5. d/mercurial-0.9.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mercurial-0.9.1. d/python-2.4.3-i486-3.tgz: Merged the python, python-demo, and python-tools packages, bloating the python package by a whopping 2%! d/ruby-1.8.4-i486-1.tgz: Added Ruby since Amarok needs it... kde/amarok-1.4.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to amarok-1.4.1. kde/kdeaccessibility-3.5.3-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled to use libpng.so.3. kde/kdeaddons-3.5.3-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled to use libpng.so.3. kde/kdeadmin-3.5.3-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled. kde/kdeartwork-3.5.3-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled to use libpng.so.3. kde/kdebase-3.5.3-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled to use libpng.so.3. kde/kdebindings-3.5.3-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled.

The libpng.so has gone .3 -> .0 -> .3. I'll see what I can do about getting everything that's linked to .0 relinked with .3, as that's the major library number Slackware 10.2's libpng.so is using. There is a .0 symlink to keep any code that was compiled while that was the number working just fine, but I will recompile a bunch of things mostly for the sake not using this link. It works either way, but I have an OCD about silly things like this. ;-) l/libwmf-0.2.8.4-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled to use libpng.so.3. l/libwmf-docs-0.2.8.4-noarch-2.tgz: Rebuilt. l/libmusicbrainz-2.1.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to libmusicbrainz-2.1.3. l/sdl-1.2.11-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to sdl-1.2.11.

This fixes a minor memory exhaustion DoS in smbd. The CVE entry for this issue may be found here: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-3403 (* Security fix *) kernels/huge26.s/*: Upgraded huge26.s kernel to 2.6.16.24. The name of the big kernel with many built-in options has been changed from test26.s to huge26.s to reflect that Slackware 11.0 will consider the 2.6.16.x kernel series to be a supported kernel series. However, I'm probably going to leave the bare.i 2.4.32 kernel as the default kernel (or perhaps sata.i?) as it has very good performance and probably better security due to the simpler and longer-tested design. I might apply or at least make available in the kernel-source package for 2.4.32 a patch to fix direct rendering with 2.4.x kernels and X.Org 6.9.0 or newer. Since anyone using Slackware for server use isn't likely to be loading the DRI modules, it's untouched code on those machines and won't affect server stability (well, depending on what, if anything, outside of the module is changed in the kernel). It is probably a safe enough patch to apply. I'd rather ship 100% vanilla kernels (and might, with the patch "on the side"), but DRI does not work without the patch past X.Org 6.8.2. Is this enough text here? Perhaps I should rename this my "ChangeBlog".

This, BTW, will be sometime after the 11.0 release. This current to stable cycle has already taken too much time (10.2 is in need of replacement), and introducing changes that might break things at this point would be foolhardy. Although there's still quite a bit in the TODO queue here I'm making my steps carefully as -current is very stable, and I think it should ship as a stable 11.0 soon so that we can get back to the business of breaking things in -current. :-) xap/imagemagick-6.2.8_0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to ImageMagick-6.2.8-0. xap/xchat-2.6.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to xchat-2.6.4. xap/xsane-0.991-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to xsane-0.991.

The sources install this as non- executable, and there's little reason that I can see to use it in its default form as it only puts redundant information in the logs. It might be a useful stub for some other purpose though...

At first this didn't seem like much as zoo is old and hardly used, but there are virus scanning programs that scan zoo archives. It is a possible problem on any system running zoo like this in an automated way, and (of course) could also cause problems if a user were to open a malicious zoo archive manually.

This fixes some security issues, including possible information leakage, and execution of arbitrary code. 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.

On 2.4 kernels use /sbin/hotplug for hotpluging, but on 2.6 kernels use /sbin/udevsend (if udev is being used) instead. This should work better on systems using 2.6 kernels with udev and HAL. Among the people pushing for this change for a while: Jon Grosshart, Piter Punk, and Eugene Crosser. Blacklisted hw_random after reports that it causes some systems to crash. Note that rc.hotplug is now installed as rc.hotplug.new, but upgradepkg will still replace it for one more package iteration. This will cause hotplug to be made executable on machines where it currently is not, so be aware of that. a/slocate-3.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to slocate-3.1. This uses a new database format, so you'll have to wait for the cron job or run "updatedb -c /etc/updatedb.conf" as root. Thanks to Piotr Simon and Erik Jan Tromp for pointing out that the docs for the previous package were installed with incorrect permissions. a/udev-071-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to udev-071. Set ttyUSB devices to mode 660 so that users in group tty can use them. Get rid of the 10-udev.hotplug -> /sbin/udevsend symlink in /etc/hotplug.d/default. This fixes a race condition with using the hotplug event handling system now enabled by default in the latest udev.rules. Another nice effect of this is that udevd no longer runs needlessly on 2.4 systems. WARNING: any existing udev.rules file will be overwritten, so save your old file if you have custom rules you'd like to merge in). Based on ideas suggested by Eugene Crosser, Piter Punk, and myself. In /etc/udev/scripts/make_extra_nodes.sh and floppy-extra-devs.sh, use ${udev_root} instead of hardcoding /dev. Thanks to Andreas Schnaiter. In /etc/udev/scripts/make_extra_nodes.sh, fixed a bug that caused a bad cdrom -> pktcdvd/control symlink to be created if the pktcdvd driver was loaded prior to running the make_extra_nodes.sh script. Thanks to Kenneth Pettersen for the bug report and fix, and to Giovanni Quadriglio who also reported the issue. Finally, thanks to Piter Punk for his continued exploration of udev's bleeding edge. What's going on there is quite interesting, but there are still some issues that have led me to decide it's best to take small steps in that direction. For example, it was nice to be able to populate /dev before checking the partitions and mounting them read-write, and it seems that won't be possible any longer. I've had other reports of hardware that wasn't hotplugged correctly, too (and ran into some myself). Mostly it seems to be a question of figuring out the proper place in the boot process to put udev, but there are also a lot of things we're left to figure out concerning the udev rules. We'll get there, but maybe not in the next release. This upgrade to udev-071 meets the minimum requirement in the 2.6.16.9 Documentation/Changes file, and has been heavily tested here and found to work well. udev-090 boot the machine faster, but isn't as reliable (at least in testing here, with how it's called from our init scripts), and I've never been in favor of trading reliability for speed. ap/alsa-utils-1.0.11-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to alsa-utils-1.0.11. ap/mysql-5.0.20a-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mysql-5.0.20a. d/guile-1.8.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to guile-1.8.0. I don't think anything in Slackware depends on guile any more, and that the only thing that ever did was a solitaire game in GNOME. Since the GNOME distributions for Slackware are already including their own guile packages, I'm considering this package for removal. How generally useful is it? Perhaps something like Ruby in the D series instead would be more useful. l/alsa-driver-1.0.11_2.4.32-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to alsa-driver-1.0.11, compiled for Linux 2.4.32. l/alsa-lib-1.0.11rc4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to alsa-lib-1.0.11rc4. The reason for 11rc4 rather than 11 is that there was a new subsystem added (src/pcm_rate_linear.c) in 11rc5, that I suspect causes aRts to break on at least one system using snd-via82xx and/or snd-ac97-codec -- aRts bails with a message about a CPU overload. The exact chipset is: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60) It would seem to me that rc4->rc5 was kind of a risky time in the release cycle to introduce such a massive change to the codebase. In any case, I think it's prudent to stick with alsa-lib-1.0.11rc4 as the default alsa-lib version until this gets sorted out upstream. l/alsa-oss-1.0.11-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to alsa-oss-1.0.11. l/libungif-4.1.4-i486-2.tgz: Fixed libgif.so* symlinks.

There's a good chance that Mozilla will not ship in the next Slackware release, and SeaMonkey will ship in its place. I'd been wondering which way to go with that, but getting an official EOL statement about the Mozilla Suite makes it seem like the switch to SeaMonkey should happen sooner rather than later.

This is primarily intended for people to verify the issue with VIA sound, look for a similar issue with other chipsets as well (seems possible, since the issue isn't in any VIA specific code in alsa-driver), and report any useful information found to the upstream developers: https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/ I reported the issue via (ha;) email, but not through the bug track system. The developer I contacted couldn't reproduce the issue and didn't think it had anything to do with the rate plugin additions. If other folks test alsa-lib-1.0.11 and run into this, and have the time to jump through the hoops needed to report the bug at the URL above, I'd appreciate the help.

BTW, I think 2.6.16.x, being the first kernel series in the 2.6 series that has been promised some long-lived support, will be the 2.6 kernel you'll see in the next Slackware release. If/when 2.6.17 (or 18, etc.) come out, don't expect to see me chasing after it immediately. I'm looking for a kernel that can be counted on for stability -- not the bleeding edge. Of course, once 2.6.16.x is considered tested enough to leave /testing (and it does seem close), perhaps a newer kernel might take its place here just for fun. Oh and yes -- I did see that 2.6.16.10 is out, and I know that the test26.s kernel wasn't yet updated. Due to the Mozilla situation, I can't delay this update to be a $SUCKER some more, but you'll see 2.6.16.10 soon.

This release fixes a security issue discovered by Ulf Harnhammar. libcurl uses the given file part of a TFTP URL in a manner that allows a malicious user to overflow a heap-based memory buffer due to the lack of boundary check. This overflow happens if you pass in a URL with a TFTP protocol prefix ("tftp://"), using a valid host and a path part that is longer than 512 bytes. The affected flaw can be triggered by a redirect, if curl/libcurl is told to follow redirects and an HTTP server points the client to a tftp URL with the characteristics described above. There is no known exploit at the time of this writing. No stable version of Slackware is affected, as the flaw exists only in the curl-7.15.x series prior to curl-7.15.3.

Thanks to the many people who reported this issue. I tracked it down to a new (or rather, back again) behavior of "chown", which is removing the suid/sgid bits from any file that it touches. I remember this same situation from the old days, and it's why many of the older package builds use a package skeleton and then install binaries using "cat" -- this prevents the changing of the permissions. If I recall correctly, "strip" also used to do this. Looking in the kernel source, I see some mention in fs/open.c about doing this as a safety feature. IMO, it doesn't seem like the right thing to do, though. If I want chmod, I'll use it, thank you. However, it looks like the feature was added years ago, and I have no idea why it has just recently kicked in. I've gone back and tested on a Slackware 10.2 box, and it's also showing the same effects with "chown", so it seems to me that this sort of breakage should have been happening when the x11*-6.9.0-i486-1.tgz packages were built, too, but Xorg was properly setuid in that package set. I tried dropping back to the previous coreutils, and this also didn't help. It's a mystery. Anyway, my first thought was to simply move the "chmod 4711" on Xorg to after the last "chown" in the build script, but decided that the best way to handle this is to begin phasing out the use of the "bin" group on binaries and binary directories. There was never any use to this ever, so far as I can tell. I think someone working on the FHS just thought that root:bin looked nicer, or something. ;-) Most distributions install binaries as root:root now anyway, and the latest standards no longer require root:bin. Since it doesn't matter, don't expect everything to change all at once -- don't send bug reports concerning files or directories that "should be" root:bin or root:root. We will move away from root:bin to root:root as new packages are built. I sure hope "strip" doesn't start acting up next... x/x11-devel-6.9.0-i486-3.tgz: Rebuilt. Really, there was no need to rebuild this or the below packages, but I like a consistent build number when it's not too much trouble to have it. x/x11-docs-6.9.0-noarch-3.tgz: Rebuilt. x/x11-docs-html-6.9.0-noarch-3.tgz: Rebuilt. x/x11-fonts-100dpi-6.9.0-noarch-3.tgz: Rebuilt. x/x11-fonts-cyrillic-6.9.0-noarch-3.tgz: Rebuilt. x/x11-fonts-misc-6.9.0-noarch-3.tgz: Rebuilt. x/x11-fonts-scale-6.9.0-noarch-3.tgz: Rebuilt. x/x11-xdmx-6.9.0-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled. x/x11-xnest-6.9.0-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled. x/x11-xvfb-6.9.0-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled. +--------------------------+ Mon Mar 20 09:29:15 CST 2006 x/x11-6.9.0-i486-2.tgz: Patched with x11r6.9.0-geteuid.diff. From the x.org security page: * March 20, 2006 - A security vulnerability has been found in the X.Org server as shipped with X11R6.9.0 and X11R7.0 (xorg-server 1.0.0 and 1.0.1) -- this is CVE-2006-0745. Local users were able to escalate privileges to root and cause a DoS if the Xorg server was installed setuid root (the default). Note that earlier releases are not vulnerable. For more information (eventually), see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-0745 (* Security fix *) Since this issue does not affect any stable/released version of Slackware, there will no security advisory on the mailing list. Those running -current should keep up with the ChangeLog to stay on top of new developments. x/x11-devel-6.9.0-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled. x/x11-docs-6.9.0-noarch-2.tgz: Rebuilt. x/x11-docs-html-6.9.0-noarch-2.tgz: Rebuilt. x/x11-fonts-100dpi-6.9.0-noarch-2.tgz: Rebuilt. x/x11-fonts-cyrillic-6.9.0-noarch-2.tgz: Rebuilt. x/x11-fonts-misc-6.9.0-noarch-2.tgz: Rebuilt. x/x11-fonts-scale-6.9.0-noarch-2.tgz: Rebuilt. x/x11-xdmx-6.9.0-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled. x/x11-xnest-6.9.0-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled. x/x11-xvfb-6.9.0-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled. testing/packages/linux-2.6.15.6/kernel-source-2.6.15.6-noarch-2.tgz: Removed spurious "asm" symlink in /. Thanks to xgizzmo. +--------------------------+ Fri Mar 17 16:42:40 CST 2006 l/cairo-1.0.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to cairo-1.0.4. l/gtk+2-2.8.16-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gtk+-2.8.16. n/dnsmasq-2.27-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to dnsmasq-2.27. Oh, and happy St. Patrick's day! :-) +--------------------------+ Tue Mar 14 18:01:26 CST 2006 n/stunnel-4.15-i486-2.tgz: Fixed messed up /var/lib perms. Thanks to Adam Dawidowski for the bug report. +--------------------------+ Mon Mar 13 18:53:57 CST 2006 a/aaa_base-10.2.0-noarch-3.tgz: Added /var/empty directory. a/gawk-3.1.5-i486-2.tgz: Applied bugfix from the gawk mailing list to fix a problem with newer glibc versions pulling that "*** free(): invalid pointer" trick we all love. :-) Thanks to Grant for sending in a link to the fix. a/glibc-solibs-2.3.6-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled against 2.4.32 and 2.6.15.6 kernel headers. Yes, I have seen that shiny-looking glibc-2.4 release on ftp.gnu.org, but glibc-2.4 completely drops support for linuxthreads, and therefore will not support vanilla Linux 2.4.x kernels. I don't think we're quite ready for that yet around here. a/glibc-zoneinfo-2.3.6-noarch-3.tgz: Updated timezone data from tzdata2006c. a/kernel-ide-2.4.32-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled with gcc-3.4.6. a/kernel-modules-2.4.32-i486-4.tgz: Recompiled with gcc-3.4.6. Thanks to Piter Punk for all the help revising the default entries in /etc/rc.d/rc.modules.new to be more accurate for 2.6.x kernels. I've tried to make it function in the default state under 2.4.x kernels too, though some of the modules have different names in 2.4 vs. 2.6... Also thanks to Didier Spaier for suggesting an example for DMA usage in the section of rc.modules that loads the parallel-port support. d/gcc-3.4.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gcc-3.4.6. d/gcc-g++-3.4.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gcc-3.4.6. d/gcc-g77-3.4.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gcc-3.4.6. d/gcc-gnat-3.4.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gcc-3.4.6. d/gcc-java-3.4.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gcc-3.4.6. d/gcc-objc-3.4.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gcc-3.4.6. l/alsa-driver-1.0.11rc3_2.4.32-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to alsa-driver-1.0.11rc3 compiled for Linux 2.4.32. The 2.6.15.6 kernel does not work properly using the modules in alsa-driver-1.0.10, but works fine with these. Although I'm normally against using release candidates, I thought in this case that the version of alsa-driver used by the 2.4 and 2.6 kernels should be the same since the package does install some header files that would overlap. It's worked fine on both 2.4.32 and 2.6.15.6 here, and the other alsa-* packages compile against it without errors (so I don't see a need to update those). I think this will work, but let me know if this upgrade causes any problems. l/db44-4.4.20-i486-1.tgz: For consistency, change the name of this package from db4 to db44, and move the header files into /usr/include/db44/, since that's the directory where the next version of Python will be looking for them. Oh, and on that topic, I've had a few people send in or provide links to patches that fix compiling the latest Python with db-4.4. Thanks, but it's still a more conservative approach to wait until db-4.4 is officially supported upstream. BTW, none of the patches were exactly the same. :-) db-4.3 would also work, but it's probably not worth introducing yet-another already old version of db over. Added the --enable-cxx option. (Suggested by Kevin Brammer) l/glibc-2.3.6-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled against 2.4.32 and 2.6.15.6 kernel headers. Added /var/run/nscd/ directory (thanks to Dirk van Deun). Updated timezone data from tzdata2006c. l/glibc-i18n-2.3.6-noarch-3.tgz: Rebuilt. l/glibc-profile-2.3.6-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled against 2.4.32 and 2.6.15.6 kernel headers. l/gtk+2-2.8.14-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gtk+2-2.8.14. n/gnupg-1.4.2.2-i486-1.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 *) n/popa3d-1.0.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to popa3d-1.0.1. n/stunnel-4.15-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to stunnel-4.15. bootdisks/*: Rebuilt using the recompiled 2.4.32 kernels. extra/k3b/k3b-0.12.14-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to k3b-0.12.14. extra/k3b/k3b-i18n-0.12.14-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to k3b-i18n-0.12.14. extra/linux-wlan-ng/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre25_2.4.32-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled with gcc-3.4.6. extra/linux-wlan-ng/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.3_2.6.15.6-i486-1.tgz: Recompiled with gcc-3.4.6 for Linux 2.6.15.6. kernels/*.?/*: Recompiled 2.4.32 kernels with gcc-3.4.6, upgraded test26.s kernel to 2.6.15.6. pasture/gnupg-1.2.7-i486-1.tgz: This can rest here for a little while just in case gnupg-1.4.2.2 causes any problems, but I doubt it will. I also think gnupg-1.2.7 is still secure when used securely (if that makes any sense ;-), or I wouldn't even leave it in /pasture... testing/packages/linux-2.6.15.6/alsa-driver-1.0.11rc3_2.6.15.6-i486-1.tgz Upgraded to alsa-driver-1.0.11rc3 compiled for Linux 2.6.15.6. This should fix the "free_hot_cold_page" issue that was occuring with alsa-driver-1.0.10 and the 2.6.15+ kernels. It fixes it here, anyway. :-) testing/packages/linux-2.6.15.6/kernel-generic-2.6.15.6-i486-1.tgz Upgraded to Linux 2.6.15.6 generic kernel. testing/packages/linux-2.6.15.6/kernel-headers-2.6.15.6-i386-1.tgz Upgraded to Linux 2.6.15.6 kernel headers. testing/packages/linux-2.6.15.6/kernel-modules-2.6.15.6-i486-1.tgz Upgraded to Linux 2.6.15.6 kernel modules. testing/packages/linux-2.6.15.6/kernel-source-2.6.15.6-noarch-1.tgz Upgraded to Linux 2.6.15.6 kernel source. +--------------------------+ Sat Mar 4 19:54:26 CST 2006 a/xfsprogs-2.7.11-i486-2.tgz: Fixed .gz.gz double compression on the manpages. Turns out they were already installed compressed. Thanks to Dave Fullerton. Fixed /usr/lib/libhandle.so symlink. Thanks to Luigi Genoni. ap/dmapi-2.2.3-i486-2.tgz: Fixed /usr/lib/libdm.so symlink. Thanks to Luigi Genoni. ap/xfsdump-2.2.33-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled to link with libhandle. d/python-2.4.2-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled against Berkeley DB 4.2.52 to get _bsddb.so and dbm.so to build. Python finds the db-4.2.52 headers fine in /usr/include/db42/, so I guess that's the right place for them. :-) d/python-demo-2.4.2-noarch-2.tgz: Rebuilt. d/python-tools-2.4.2-noarch-2.tgz: Rebuilt. l/db42-4.2.52-i486-3.tgz: Added a db-4.2.52 package (called db42) as a non-default version of Berkeley DB 4.x, since some things still aren't ready for db-4.4.x, and it's probably best not to force the issue until the changes needed for db-4.4.x are made upstream where needed. Oh, I've had a report that subversion-1.3.0 isn't working with db-4.4.x -- can anyone confirm this? I'm not running any kind of test repository here, so feedback on whether subversion could use a recompile against db-4.2 would be helpful. n/proftpd-1.3.0rc4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to proftpd-1.3.0rc4. +--------------------------+ Wed Mar 1 20:25:56 CST 2006 a/coreutils-5.94-i486-2.tgz: Restored ginstall -> install symlinks which are still needed to build some things. Thanks to Rich. extra/bash-completion/bash-completion-20060301-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to bash-completion-20060301. +--------------------------+ Tue Feb 28 20:50:44 CST 2006 a/bash-3.1-i486-3.tgz: Patched with additional official patches bash31-008 through bash31-011. a/util-linux-2.12r-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to util-linux-2.12r. a/xfsprogs-2.7.11-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to xfsprogs-2.7.11. Split acl, attr, dmapi, and xfsdump into separate packages and moved them into the AP series. This location was a bit of a judgement call since acl, attr, and dmapi contain libraries, but so do some other packages outside L. Anyway, it does seem to me that xfsdump should go in AP, and that these packages should all be found in the same place. ap/acl-2.2.34-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to acl-2.2.34, split out of xfsprogs package. ap/attr-2.4.28-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to attr-2.4.28, split out of xfsprogs package. ap/dmapi-2.2.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to dmapi-2.2.3, split out of xfsprogs package. ap/xfsdump-2.2.33-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to xfsdump-2.2.33, split out of xfsprogs package. d/clisp-2.38-i486-2.tgz: Added some additional modules for CLISP. Thanks to Bradley Reed for the hint. f/linux-faqs-20060228-noarch-1.tgz: Updated from ibiblio.org. f/linux-howtos-20060228-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux-HOWTOs-20060228. l/gtk+2-2.8.13-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gtk+-2.8.13. l/pango-1.10.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to pango-1.10.4. n/bind-9.3.2-i486-3.tgz: Modified rc.bind to try to use rndc to stop the nameserver before resorting to killall, and added some additional comments about loading the "capability" module on 2.6+ kernels. n/samba-3.0.21c-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to samba-3.0.21c. +--------------------------+ Mon Feb 20 14:20:17 CST 2006 ap/dvd+rw-tools-6.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to dvd+rw-tools-6.1. kdei/kde-i18n-sv-3.5.1-noarch-1a.tgz: Fixed with a rebuild. Thanks to Nille Kungen for pointing out that the -1 package was missing files. n/bind-9.3.2-i486-2.tgz: Patched to remove the use of the obsolete setsockopt SO_BSDCOMPAT that was putting annoying warnings in /var/log/syslog when bind binaries were run under a 2.6.x kernel. Thanks to Marin Glibic. Fixed missing nslookup.1 man page. Thanks to Lior Kadosh. n/tin-1.8.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to tin-1.8.1. +--------------------------+ Thu Feb 16 14:01:26 CST 2006 OK, I think I have everything that used libreadline.so.4 recompiled with the exception of AbiWord, as the --disable-gnome option no longer seems to work with abiword-2.4.2 -- it still demands libgnomeprint and all of its dependencies. Anyone know a way around this one? If not, AbiWord will likely be removed soon. It's included in all of the GNOME distributions for Slackware anyway... a/bash-3.1-i486-2.tgz: Applied official bash patches 006 and 007. a/coreutils-5.94-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to coreutils-5.94. a/sed-4.1.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to sed-4.1.5. ap/bc-1.06-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled with new libreadline. ap/gimp-print-4.2.7-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled with new libreadline. ap/rzip-2.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to rzip-2.1. d/guile-1.6.7-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled with new libreadline. l/gtk+2-2.8.12-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gtk+2-2.8.12. l/pilot-link-0.11.8-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled with new libreadline. n/ntp-4.2.0a-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to ntp-stable-4.2.0a-20060127 compiled with new libreadline. xap/fvwm-2.4.19-i486-5.tgz: Recompiled with new libreadline. xap/gftp-2.0.18-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled with new libreadline. xap/gnuchess-5.07-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled with new libreadline. xap/xine-ui-0.99.4-i686-2.tgz: Recompiled with new libreadline. extra/parted/parted-1.6.25.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to parted-1.6.25.1, compiled with new libreadline. testing/packages/gnupg-1.4.2.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gnupg-1.4.2.1. This fixes an issue where gpg could exit with zero in certain cases where a detached "signature" actually contained no signature. However, according to the NEWS file "nobody should have used this for signature verification without checking the status codes" with --status-fd. Considering that (and especially this package's placement in the /testing directory) I'm not going to issue an advisory here, though the NEWS file does admit it is a security weakness. +--------------------------+ Tue Feb 14 16:08:52 CST 2006 n/php-4.4.2-i486-3.tgz: Fixed some more bugs from the 4.4.2 release... hopefully the third time is the charm. Replaced PEAR packages for which the 4.4.2 release contained incorrect md5sums: Archive_Tar-1.3.1, Console_Getopt-1.2, and HTML_Template_IT-1.1.3. (this last one was also not upgraded to the stable version that was released on 2005-11-01) Sorry to have delayed the advisories, but these bugs had to be fixed first. IMHO, the security issues are of dubious severity anyway, or a more agressive approach would have been taken (though this would likely have caused a lot of people to upgrade to the broken -1 or -2 package revisions, so anyone who didn't know about this until now was probably saved a hassle.) Upgraded other PEAR modules to HTTP-1.4.0, Net_SMTP-1.2.8, and XML_RPC-1.4.5. Thanks again to Krzysztof Oledzki for the bug report. testing/packages/php-5.1.2/php-5.1.2-i486-2.tgz: The same junk dotfiles were installed in php-5.1.2, too. Cleaned them out of the root directory of the package. Thanks to Tyler McGrath for reporting this. +--------------------------+ Fri Feb 10 19:07:13 CST 2006 ap/man-1.6c-i486-2.tgz: Reversed man-1.6c change that caused makewhatis to break. Thanks to Robby Workman for the patch. n/php-4.4.2-i486-2.tgz: Rebuilt the package to clean up some junk dotfiles that were installed in the / directory. Harmless, but sloppy... Thanks to Krzysztof Oledzki for pointing this out. +--------------------------+ Thu Feb 9 17:24:25 CST 2006 a/aaa_elflibs-10.2.0-i486-4.tgz: Added /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 -> /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 symlink, needed by Oracle 10g RAC support. Thanks to Luigi Genoni. Upgraded various other libraries. a/bash-3.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to bash-3.1. a/coreutils-5.93-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to coreutils-5.93. The DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION=199209 is set to provide more traditional behavior (thanks to Eric Hameleers), but this may change in the future as the newer standards are accepted. Added the uname patch (suggested by many), and moved color ls setup out of /etc/profile and /etc/csh.login and into scripts in /etc/profile.d/. These scripts also replace some functionality (setting up aliases and defaults) that is no longer part of the dircolors tool. a/cups-1.1.23-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled against new OpenSSL. a/cxxlibs-6.0.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to libstdc++ from gcc-3.4.5. a/etc-5.1-noarch-11.tgz: Removed color ls setup from /etc/profile and /etc/csh.login. Fixed csh.login in cases where $TERM or $MANPATH are not set. (thanks to Jim Diamond) a/gettext-0.14.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gettext-0.14.5. a/glibc-solibs-2.3.6-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled with gcc-3.4.5 against the 2.4.32 and 2.6.15.3 kernel headers. a/glibc-zoneinfo-2.3.6-noarch-2.tgz: Recompiled. a/gpm-1.20.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gpm-1.20.1, with many, many patches. a/openssl-solibs-0.9.8a-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to openssl-0.9.8a. This may require many things to be recompiled. Let me know if I skipped anything that matters. :-) a/pkgtools-10.2.0-i486-6.tgz: Upgraded subset of terminfo database from ncurses-5.5. Upgraded to dialog-1.0-20060126. a/procps-3.2.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to procps-3.2.6. a/tcsh-6.14.00-i486-2.tgz: Patched to remove built-in color ls, as the new coreutils adds an 'su' feature to the shared $LS_COLORS variable that causes tcsh to exit. Perhaps tcsh should use a different variable name or be less strict about using LS_COLORS? The GNU ls version is probably better for most purposes anyway, though. ap/espgs-8.15.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to espgs-8.15.1. ap/linuxdoc-tools-0.9.21-i486-1.tgz: Added linuxdoc-tools-0.9.21. This package replaces the sgml-tools package and should contain the essentials needed to handle modern Linux Docbook/SGML documents. Huge thanks are due to Stuart Winter for doing most of the work on transitioning Slackware from the old sgml-tools system to this one! :-) ap/man-1.6c-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to man-1.6c. ap/man-pages-2.22-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to man-pages-2.22. ap/mdadm-2.3.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mdadm-2.3.1. ap/mysql-5.0.18-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mysql-5.0.18. (this will require everything linked to MySQL libs to be recompiled) ap/sgml-tools-1.0.9-i486-12.tgz: Removed. (replaced with linuxdoc-tools) ap/sudo-1.6.8p12-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to sudo-1.6.8p12. This fixes an issue where a user able to run a Python script through sudo may be able to gain root access. IMHO, running any kind of scripting language from sudo is still not safe... For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-0151 (* Security fix *) ap/vorbis-tools-1.1.1-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled. d/automake-1.9.6-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to automake-1.9.6. d/bison-2.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to bison-2.1.

Apparently the nVidia driver demands that the kernel be compiled with the same compiler that will be used to compile the kernel module wrapper for the binary nVidia driver (though my guess is that if this restriction were not coded into their installer that it would work fine), so I've recompiled all the 2.4.32 kernels and modules using the new compiler. a/kernel-modules-2.4.32-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled with gcc-3.4.5. l/alsa-driver-1.0.10_2.4.32-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled with gcc-3.4.5. x/x11-docs-html-6.9.0-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to X11R6.9.0. For those who may not be aware, this is is the exact same code base as X11R7.0.0, but is packaged as the traditional single source archive using the imake build system. Also, note that this still rightly (IMHO) contains freetype-2.1.9. The newer release of freetype (2.1.10) removed some functions that various applications use -- I'm hoping that these will be restored. Finally, the kernel interface for direct rendering (DRI) seems to have changed, and direct rendering with X11R6.9.0 only works on my machines with a 2.6 kernel. I spent several days trying to produce working DRM kernel modules for Linux 2.4.32, but to no avail, so if you're still using a 2.4 kernel you'll want to edit your xorg.conf so that the dri module is not loaded or you'll likely corrupt your display requiring a reboot. I've tested this only with ATI cards and the open source drivers. Perhaps the binary drivers from ATI or nVidia would work. x/x11-fonts-scale-6.9.0-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to X11R6.9.0. x/x11-devel-6.9.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to X11R6.9.0. x/x11-fonts-100dpi-6.9.0-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to X11R6.9.0. x/x11-xnest-6.9.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to X11R6.9.0. x/x11-xdmx-6.9.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to X11R6.9.0. x/x11-fonts-misc-6.9.0-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to X11R6.9.0. x/x11-6.9.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to X11R6.9.0. x/x11-docs-6.9.0-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to X11R6.9.0. x/x11-fonts-cyrillic-6.9.0-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to X11R6.9.0. x/x11-xvfb-6.9.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to X11R6.9.0. xap/mozilla-thunderbird-1.5-i686-1.tgz: Upgraded to thunderbird-1.5. bootdisks/*: Rebuilt using the recompiled 2.4.32 kernels. extra/linux-wlan-ng/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.3_2.6.14.6-i486-1.tgz: Recompiled for Linux 2.6.14.6. extra/linux-wlan-ng/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre25_2.4.32-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled with gcc-3.4.5. kernels/*.?/*: Recompiled 2.4.32 kernels with gcc-3.4.5, upgraded test26.s kernel to 2.6.14.6. testing/packages/linux-2.6.14.6/alsa-driver-1.0.10_2.6.14.6-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled for Linux 2.6.14.6. testing/packages/linux-2.6.14.6/kernel-generic-2.6.14.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.14.6. testing/packages/linux-2.6.14.6/kernel-headers-2.6.14.6-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.14.6 kernel headers. testing/packages/linux-2.6.14.6/kernel-modules-2.6.14.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.14.6 kernel modules. testing/packages/linux-2.6.14.6/kernel-source-2.6.14.6-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.14.6 kernel source. +--------------------------+ Thu Dec 15 14:37:27 CST 2005 d/gcc-3.4.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gcc-3.4.5. d/gcc-g++-3.4.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gcc-3.4.5. d/gcc-g77-3.4.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gcc-3.4.5. d/gcc-gnat-3.4.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gcc-3.4.5. d/gcc-java-3.4.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gcc-3.4.5. d/gcc-objc-3.4.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gcc-3.4.5. +--------------------------+ Tue Dec 13 14:01:37 CST 2005 a/kernel-modules-2.4.32-i486-2.tgz: That's what I meant to say below, not "l/alsa-driver-1.0.10_2.4.32-i486-1.tgz".

But, things should be getting back to normal here (more or less) over the next couple of weeks, particularly after the holiday season has come and gone. As you might expect, there are a lot of friends and relatives who want to see her. :-) Thanks for your patience, and we now return you to your regularly scheduled ChangeLog... a/bash-3.0-i486-4.tgz: Fixed an obscure bug where suspending the first process started in a new shell would cause it to hang.

How much of that is the compiler and how much is source needing to be updated is a matter for debate, though. Also, the -mcpu=i686 option used in Slackware to optimize binaries for i686 or Athlon platforms has changed to -mtune=i686 with the gcc-3.4.x compiler series.

I'd hoped there would be a new PHP out quickly to address this but since there isn't I'm making an exception to the usual policy here on merging patches from CVS as a fair number of users seem to be affected by this issue. Let me know if this doesn't help or if any undesired side effects are noticed. This problem was first reported here by Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi, but was later reported by too many people to list. Thanks, everyone! :-) xap/mozilla-firefox-1.5-i686-1.tgz: Upgraded to firefox-1.5. bootdisks/*: Upgraded to Linux 2.4.32. extra/linux-wlan-ng/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre25_2.4.32-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre25 (for Linux 2.4.32). extra/linux-wlan-ng/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.3_2.6.14.3-i486-1.tgz Upgraded to linux-wlan-ng-0.2.3 (for Linux 2.6.14.3). isolinux/initrd.img: Upgraded USB/IEEE1394 modules to Linux 2.4.32. isolinux/network.dsk: Upgraded network modules to Linux 2.4.32. isolinux/pcmcia.dsk: Upgraded pcmcia modules to Linux 2.4.32. kernels/*: Upgraded to Linux 2.4.32 (and test.s to 2.6.14.3). rootdisks/install.1: Upgraded USB/IEEE1394 modules to Linux 2.4.32. rootdisks/install.2: Upgraded USB/IEEE1394 modules to Linux 2.4.32. rootdisks/install.zip: Upgraded USB/IEEE1394 modules to Linux 2.4.32. rootdisks/network.dsk: Upgraded network modules to Linux 2.4.32. rootdisks/pcmcia.dsk: Upgraded pcmcia modules to Linux 2.4.32. testing/packages/linux-2.6.14.3/alsa-driver-1.0.10_2.6.14.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to alsa-driver-1.0.10 for Linux 2.6.14.3. testing/packages/linux-2.6.14.3/kernel-generic-2.6.14.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.14.3 (generic kernel). testing/packages/linux-2.6.14.3/kernel-headers-2.6.14.3-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to kernel headers from Linux 2.6.14.3 (see the README file in testing/packages/linux-2.6.14.3/ for information about why you probably *don't* want to use these headers...) testing/packages/linux-2.6.14.3/kernel-modules-2.6.14.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to kernel modules for Linux 2.6.14.3. testing/packages/linux-2.6.14.3/kernel-source-2.6.14.3-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.14.3 kernel source. testing/packages/php-5.1.1/php-5.1.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to php-5.1.1.

This fixes a buffer overflow in the parsing of the Expires header that could be used to execute arbitrary code as the user running Elm. Thanks to Ulf Harnhammar for finding the bug and reminding me to get out updated packages to address the issue. A reference to the original advisory: http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/fulldisclosure/2005-08/0688.html +--------------------------+ Sat Nov 5 21:55:21 CST 2005 l/libxml2-2.6.22-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to libxml2-2.6.22. This fixes an issue where libxml2 had declared a variable XML_FEATURE_UNICODE that was already used by the expat headers, causing PHP to fail to compile when using Slackware's combination of ./configure options. n/curl-7.12.2-i486-2.tgz: Patched. This addresses a buffer overflow in libcurl's NTLM function that could have possible security implications. For more details, see: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/security.html http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-3185 (* Security fix *) n/samba-3.0.20b-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to samba-3.0.20b. This includes various bugfixes. Thanks to Christopher Linnet for reporting that this fixes a problem with printing to a printer on an XP machine from CUPS. If you use such a configuration, you'll want this upgrade for sure. n/mod_ssl-2.8.25_1.3.34-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mod_ssl-2.8.25-1.3.34. n/wget-1.10.2-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to wget-1.10.2. This addresses a buffer overflow in wget's NTLM handling function that could have possible security implications. For more details, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-3185 (* Security fix *) n/php-4.4.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to php-4.4.1. Fixes a number of bugs, including several minor security fixes relating to the overwriting of the GLOBALS array. (* Security fix *) n/lynx-2.8.5rel.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to lynx-2.8.5rel.5. Fixes an issue where the handling of Asian characters when using lynx to connect to an NNTP server (is this a common use?) could result in a buffer overflow causing the execution of arbitrary code. For more details, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-3120 (* Security fix *) n/apache-1.3.34-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to apache-1.3.34. Fixes this minor security bug: "If a request contains both Transfer-Encoding and Content-Length headers, remove the Content-Length, mitigating some HTTP Request Splitting/Spoofing attacks." (* Security fix *) n/pine-4.64-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to pine-4.64. n/tcpdump-3.9.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to tcpdump-3.9.4. n/imapd-4.64-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to imapd-4.64. A buffer overflow was reported in the mail_valid_net_parse_work function. However, this function in the c-client library does not appear to be called from anywhere in imapd. iDefense states that the issue is of LOW risk to sites that allow users shell access, and LOW-MODERATE risk to other servers. I believe it's possible that it is of NIL risk if the function is indeed dead code to imapd, but draw your own conclusions... (* Security fix *) kde/koffice-1.4.1-i486-2.tgz: Patched. Fixes a buffer overflow in KWord's RTF import discovered by Chris Evans. For more details, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-2971 (* Security fix *) There, now hopefully we can start getting some REAL work done around here again soon... +--------------------------+ Thu Oct 13 13:57:25 PDT 2005 a/openssl-solibs-0.9.7g-i486-2.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 *) n/openssl-0.9.7g-i486-2.tgz: Patched.

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 Oct 8 18:46:14 PDT 2005 d/cvs-1.11.21-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to cvs-1.11.21. +--------------------------+ Wed Oct 5 13:04:15 PDT 2005 xap/mozilla-thunderbird-1.0.7-i686-1.tgz: Upgraded to thunderbird-1.0.7. This fixes a security issue where URLs passed on the command line to the thunderbird shell script were not correctly protected against interpretation by the shell. As a result, a malicious URL could contain embedded shell commands which would then be executed as the user running Thunderbird.

The patch released by X.Org was slightly different than the one that was circulated previously, and is an improved version. There have been reports that the earlier patch broke WINE and possibly some other programs. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-2495 (* Security fix *) x/x11-xdmx-6.8.2-i486-4.tgz: Patched and rebuilt. x/x11-xnest-6.8.2-i486-4.tgz: Patched and rebuilt. x/x11-xvfb-6.8.2-i486-4.tgz: Patched and rebuilt. xap/mozilla-1.7.12-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mozilla-1.7.12. This fixes several security issues. For more information, see: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/known-vulnerabilities.html#Mozilla (* Security fix *) xap/mozilla-firefox-1.0.7-i686-1.tgz: Upgraded to firefox-1.0.7.
