patches/packages/fetchmail-6.3.6-s390-1_slack9.1.tgz:
Upgraded to fetchmail-6.3.6. This fixes two security issues. First, a bug
introduced in fetchmail-6.3.5 could cause fetchmail to crash. However,
no stable version of Slackware ever shipped fetchmail-6.3.5. Second, a long
standing bug (reported by Isaac Wilcox) could cause fetchmail to send a
password in clear text or omit using TLS even when configured otherwise.
All fetchmail users are encouraged to consider using getmail, or to upgrade
to the new fetchmail packages.

patches/packages/gnupg-1.4.6-s390-1_slack9.1.tgz:
Upgraded to gnupg-1.4.6. This release fixes a severe and exploitable
bug in earlier versions of gnupg. All gnupg users should update to the
new packages as soon as possible. For details, see the information
concerning CVE-2006-6235 posted on lists.gnupg.org:

(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/tar-1.16-s390-1_slack9.1.tgz:
Upgraded to tar-1.16.
This fixes an issue where files may be extracted outside of the current
directory, possibly allowing a malicious tar archive, when extracted, to
overwrite any of the user's files (in the case of root, any file on the
system).

patches/packages/bind-9.2.6_P2-s390-1_slack9.1.tgz:
Upgraded to bind-9.2.6-P2. This fixes some security issues related to
previous fixes in OpenSSL. The minimum OpenSSL version was raised to
OpenSSL 0.9.7l and OpenSSL 0.9.8d to avoid exposure to known security flaws
in older versions (these patches were already issued for Slackware). If you
have not upgraded yet, get those as well to prevent a potentially exploitable
security problem in named. In addition, the default RSA exponent was changed
from 3 to 65537. RSA keys using exponent 3 (which was previously BIND's
default) will need to be regenerated to protect against the forging
of RRSIGs.

patches/packages/screen-4.0.3-s390-1_slack9.1.tgz: Upgraded to screen-4.0.3.
This addresses an issue with the way screen handles UTF-8 character encoding
that could allow screen to be crashed (or possibly code to be executed in the
context of the screen user) if a specially crafted sequence of pseudo-UTF-8
characters are displayed withing a screen session.

Upgraded to shared libraries from openssl-0.9.7l.
See openssl package update below.
(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/openssh-4.4p1-s390-1_slack9.1.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.

http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-5052
After this upgrade, make sure the permissions on /etc/rc.d/rc.sshd are set
the way you want them. Future upgrades will respect the existing permissions
settings. Thanks to Manuel Reimer for pointing out that upgrading openssh
would enable a previously disabled sshd daemon.
Do better checking of passwd, shadow, and group to avoid adding
redundant entries to these files. Thanks to Menno Duursma.
(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/openssl-0.9.7l-s390-1_slack9.1.tgz:
Upgraded to openssl-0.9.7l.
This fixes a few security related issues:
During the parsing of certain invalid ASN.1 structures an error
condition is mishandled. This can result in an infinite loop which
consumes system memory (CVE-2006-2937). (This issue did not affect
OpenSSL versions prior to 0.9.7)
Thanks to Dr S. N. Henson of Open Network Security and NISCC.
Certain types of public key can take disproportionate amounts of
time to process. This could be used by an attacker in a denial of
service attack (CVE-2006-2940).
Thanks to Dr S. N. Henson of Open Network Security and NISCC.
A buffer overflow was discovered in the SSL_get_shared_ciphers()
utility function. An attacker could send a list of ciphers to an
application that uses this function and overrun a buffer.
(CVE-2006-3738)
Thanks to Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry of the Google Security Team.
A flaw in the SSLv2 client code was discovered. When a client
application used OpenSSL to create an SSLv2 connection to a malicious
server, that server could cause the client to crash (CVE-2006-4343).
Thanks to Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry of the Google Security Team.

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.

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.

patches/packages/sendmail-8.13.7-s390-1_slack9.1.tgz:
Upgraded to sendmail-8.13.7.
Fixes a potential denial of service problem caused by excessive recursion
leading to stack exhaustion when attempting delivery of a malformed MIME
message. This crashes sendmail's queue processing daemon, which in turn
can lead to two problems: depending on the settings, these crashed
processes may create coredumps which could fill a drive partition; and
such a malformed message in the queue will cause queue processing to
cease when the message is reached, causing messages that are later in
the queue to not be processed.
Sendmail's complete advisory may be found here:

patches/packages/mysql-4.0.27-s390-1_slack9.1.tgz:
Upgraded to mysql-4.0.27.
This fixes some minor security issues with possible information leakage.
Note that the information leakage bugs require that the attacker have
access to an account on the database. Also note that by default,
Slackware's rc.mysqld script does *not* allow access to the database
through the outside network (it uses the --skip-networking option).
If you've enabled network access to MySQL, it is a good idea to filter
the port (3306) to prevent access from unauthorized machines.

patches/packages/gnupg-1.4.2.2-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to gnupg-1.4.2.2.
There have been two security related issues reported recently with GnuPG.
From the GnuPG 1.4.2.1 and 1.4.2.2 NEWS files:
Noteworthy changes in version 1.4.2.2 (2006-03-08)
* Files containing several signed messages are not allowed any
longer as there is no clean way to report the status of such
files back to the caller. To partly revert to the old behaviour
the new option --allow-multisig-verification may be used.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.4.2.1 (2006-02-14)
* Security fix for a verification weakness in gpgv. Some input
could lead to gpgv exiting with 0 even if the detached signature
file did not carry any signature. This is not as fatal as it
might seem because the suggestion as always been not to rely on
th exit code but to parse the --status-fd messages. However it
is likely that gpgv is used in that simplified way and thus we
do this release. Same problem with "gpg --verify" but nobody
should have used this for signature verification without
checking the status codes anyway. Thanks to the taviso from
Gentoo for reporting this problem.

patches/packages/sendmail-8.13.6-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to sendmail-8.13.6.
This new version of sendmail contains a fix for a security problem
discovered by Mark Dowd of ISS X-Force. From sendmail's advisory:
Sendmail was notified by security researchers at ISS that, under some
specific timing conditions, this vulnerability may permit a specifically
crafted attack to take over the sendmail MTA process, allowing remote
attackers to execute commands and run arbitrary programs on the system
running the MTA, affecting email delivery, or tampering with other
programs and data on this system. Sendmail is not aware of any public
exploit code for this vulnerability. This connection-oriented
vulnerability does not occur in the normal course of sending and
receiving email. It is only triggered when specific conditions are
created through SMTP connection layer commands.

patches/packages/imapd-4.64-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to imapd-4.64.
A buffer overflow was reported in the mail_valid_net_parse_work function.
However, this function in the c-client library does not appear to be called
from anywhere in imapd. iDefense states that the issue is of LOW risk to
sites that allow users shell access, and LOW-MODERATE risk to other servers.
I believe it's possible that it is of NIL risk if the function is indeed
dead code to imapd, but draw your own conclusions...
(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/koffice-1.2.1-s390-2.tgz: Patched.
Fixes a buffer overflow in KWord's RTF import discovered by Chris Evans.

(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/lynx-2.8.5rel.5-s390-1.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.

(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/openssl-0.9.7d-s390-2.tgz: Patched.
Fixed a vulnerability that could, in rare circumstances, allow an attacker
acting as a "man in the middle" to force a client and a server to negotiate
the SSL 2.0 protocol (which is known to be weak) even if these parties both
support SSL 3.0 or TLS 1.0.

(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/pcre-6.3-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to pcre-6.3.
This fixes a buffer overflow that could be triggered by the processing of a
specially crafted regular expression. Theoretically this could be a security
issue if regular expressions are accepted from untrusted users to be
processed by a user with greater privileges, but this doesn't seem like a
common scenario (or, for that matter, a good idea). However, if you are
using an application that links to the shared PCRE library and accepts
outside input in such a manner, you will want to update to this new package.
For more information, see:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-2491
(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/ Relinked with the system PCRE library,
as the builtin library has a buffer overflow that could be triggered by the
processing of a specially crafted regular expression.
Note that this change requires the pcre package to be installed.
For more information, see:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-2491
(* Security fix *)
Upgraded PEAR::XMLRPC to version 1.4.0, which eliminates the use of the
insecure eval() function.

patches/packages/tcpip-0.17-s390-2.tgz: Changed to a cleaner telnet patch
borrowed from OpenBSD. Two people, both using Slackware 9.1, informed me
that the previous patch for telnet was causing a segfault when used with
short hostnames from /etc/hosts (such as localhost). If anyone is having
a similar problem with other versions of Slackware, let me know.
Thanks to Dragan Simic for telling me about the improved patch.
patches/packages/util-linux-2.12-s390-2.tgz: Patched an issue with
umount where if the umount failed when the '-r' option was used, the
filesystem would be remounted read-only but without any extra flags
specified in /etc/fstab. This could allow an ordinary user able to
mount a floppy or CD (but with nosuid, noexec, nodev, etc in
/etc/fstab) to run a setuid binary from removable media and gain
root privileges.

(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/xine-lib-1rc4-s390-2.tgz: Patched xine-lib-1-rc4.
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.

patches/packages/php-4.3.11-s390-2.tgz: Upgraded PEAR XML_RPC class.
This new PHP package fixes a PEAR XML_RPC vulnerability. Sites that use
this PEAR class should upgrade to the new PHP package, or as a minimal
fix may instead upgrade the XML_RPC PEAR class with the following command:
pear upgrade XML_RPC
(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/sudo-1.6.8p9-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to sudo-1.6.8p9.

monitoring.
(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/xv-3.10a-s390-2.tgz: Upgraded to the latest XV jumbo
patches, xv-3.10a-jumbo-fix-patch-20050410 and
xv-3.10a-jumbo-enh-patch-20050501. These fix a number of format string
and other possible security issues in addition to providing many other

patches/packages/infozip-5.52-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to unzip552.tar.gz and
zip231.tar.gz. These fix some buffer overruns if deep directory paths are
packed into a Zip archive which could be a security vulnerability (for
example, in a case of automated archiving or backups that use Zip). However,
it also appears that these now use certain assembly instructions that might
not be available on older CPUs, so if you have an older machine you may wish
to take this into account before deciding whether you should upgrade.

patches/packages/python-2.3.5-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to python-2.3.5.
From the python.org site: "The Python development team has discovered a flaw
in the SimpleXMLRPCServer library module which can give remote attackers
access to internals of the registered object or its module or possibly other
modules. The flaw only affects Python XML-RPC servers that use the

+--------------------------+
Tue Nov 9 21:59:16 EST 2004
patches/packages/apache-1.3.33-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to apache-1.3.33.
This fixes one new security issue (the first issue, CAN-2004-0492, was fixed
in apache-1.3.32). The second bug fixed in 1.3.3 (CAN-2004-0940) allows a
local user who can create SSI documents to become "nobody". The amount of
mischief they could cause as nobody seems low at first glance, but it might
allow them to use kill or killall as nobody to try to create a DoS.
(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/libtiff-3.5.7-s390-2.tgz: Patched several bugs that could

Thu Oct 28 23:52:27 EDT 2004
patches/packages/apache-1.3.32-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to apache-1.3.32.
This addresses a heap-based buffer overflow in mod_proxy by rejecting
responses from a remote server with a negative Content-Length. The
flaw could crash the Apache child process, or possibly allow code to
be executed as the Apache user (but only if mod_proxy is actually in
use on the server).

(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/mod_ssl-2.8.21_1.3.32-s390-1.tgz:

Don't allow clients to bypass cipher requirements, possibly negotiating
a connection that the server does not consider secure enough.

patches/packages/gaim-1.0.2-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to gaim-1.0.2
and gaim-encryption-2.32. A buffer overflow in the MSN protocol
handler for GAIM 0.79 to 1.0.1 allows remote attackers to cause
a denial of service (application crash) and may allow the
execution of arbitrary code.

patches/packages/rsync-2.6.3-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to rsync-2.6.3.
From the rsync NEWS file:
A bug in the sanitize_path routine (which affects a non-chrooted
rsync daemon) could allow a user to craft a pathname that would get
transformed into an absolute path for certain options (but not for
file-transfer names). If you're running an rsync daemon with chroot
disabled, *please upgrade*, ESPECIALLY if the user privs you run
rsync under is anything above "nobody".
Note that rsync, in daemon mode, sets the "use chroot" to true by
default, and (in this default mode) is not vulnerable to this issue.
I would strongly recommend against setting "use chroot" to false
even if you've upgraded to this new package.
(* Security fix *)
+--------------------------+
Mon Oct 4 17:01:13 EDT 2004
patches/packages/getmail-3.2.5-s390-1.tgz: Upgraded to
getmail-3.2.5. Earlier versions contained a local security flaw
when used in an insecure fashion (surprise, running something as
root that writes to user-controlled files or directories could
allow the old symlink attack to clobber system files! :-)
From the getmail CHANGELOG:
This vulnerability is not exploitable if the administrator does
not deliver mail to the maildirs/mbox files of untrusted local
users, or if getmail is configured to use an external
unprivileged MDA. This vulnerability is not remotely exploitable.
Most users would not use getmail in such as way as to be vulnerable
to this flaw, but if your site does this package closes the hole.
Note that getmail-3.2.5 refuses to deliver mail as root, so using
getmail in this way will not be possible. Either run it as the
user that owns the target mailbox, or (in the case of root) deliver
through an external MDA. Getmail-4 does not have this restriction,
but it requires a newer version of python...

to use the new mod_ssl. If /usr/sbin/apachectl is a link to mod_ssl's
apachectl, do not replace it.
patches/packages/mod_ssl-2.8.18_1.3.31-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to
mod_ssl-2.8.18-1.3.31. This fixes a buffer overflow that may allow remote
attackers to execute arbitrary code via a client certificate with a long
subject DN, if mod_ssl is configured to trust the issuing CA:
*) Fix buffer overflow in "SSLOptions +FakeBasicAuth" implementation
if the Subject-DN in the client certificate exceeds 6KB in length.
For more details, see:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0488
(* Security fix *)
Other changes: Make the sample keys .new so as not to overwrite existing
server keys. However, any existing mod_ssl package will have these listed
as non-config files, and will still remove and replace these upon upgrade.
You'll have to save your config files one more time... sorry).
patches/packages/php-4.3.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to php-4.3.6. This is
compiled with c-client.a in /usr/local/lib/c-client/ to fix a problem in
previous php packages where linking against the library in a path under
/tmp caused an ELF rpath to this location to be built into the PHP binaries.
A local attacker could (by placing shared libraries in this location) either
crash PHP or cause arbitrary code to be executed as the PHP user (typically
"nobody"). Thanks to Bryce Nichols for discovering this issue and bringing
it to my attention.

patches/packages/kdelibs-3.1.4-i486-2.tgz: Patched URI security
issues. According to www.kde.org:
The telnet, rlogin, ssh and mailto URI handlers in KDE do not
check for '-' at the beginning of the hostname passed, which
makes it possible to pass an option to the programs started
by the handlers.

patches/packages/apache-1.3.29-i486-2.tgz: Patched four security issues
in the Apache web server as noted on http://httpd.apache.org.
These security fixes were backported from Apache 1.3.31:
In mod_digest, verify whether the nonce returned in the client
response is one we issued ourselves. This problem does not affect
mod_auth_digest. (CAN-2003-0987)
Escape arbitrary data before writing into the errorlog. (CAN-2003-0020)
Fix starvation issue on listening sockets where a short-lived connection
on a rarely-accessed listening socket will cause a child to hold the
accept mutex and block out new connections until another connection
arrives on that rarely-accessed listening socket. (CAN-2004-0174)
Fix parsing of Allow/Deny rules using IP addresses without a netmask;
issue is only known to affect big-endian 64-bit platforms (CAN-2003-0993)

patches/packages/rsync-2.6.2-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to rsync-2.6.2.
Rsync before 2.6.1 does not properly sanitize paths when running a
read/write daemon without using chroot, allowing remote attackers to
write files outside of the module's path.
For more details, see:

patches/packages/hotplug-2004_01_05-noarch-1.tgz: This adds bugfixes for using
a 2.6.x kernel, and adds the broken via-ircc module to the hotplug blacklist.
Note that upgrading the package will not replace an existing blacklist, but
as far as I can tell there are no ill effects from trying to load via-ircc
other than the ugly mess on the screen at boot time.

According to www.tcpdump.org:
TCPDUMP version 3.8.3 has been released as of March 30, 2004. 3.8.3 is
identical to 3.8.2, but the version number has been incremented to
match libpcap.
LIBPCAP version 0.8.3 has been released as of March 30, 2004. 0.8.3
fixes a minor problem with gencode.c on 64-bit architectures. It also
carries the correct version numbers.

post-3.1.4-kdepim-kfile-plugins.diff. From the KDE advisory:
The KDE team has found a buffer overflow in the file information reader
of VCF files. A carefully crafted .VCF file potentially enables local
attackers to compromise the privacy of a victim's data or execute
arbitrary commands with the victim's privileges.
By default, file information reading is disabled for remote files.
However, if previews are enabled for remote files, remote attackers may
be able to compromise the victim's account.

2.4.24 kernel source, with XFS and Speakup patches included (but not
pre-applied). This uses the XFS and Speakup patches for 2.4.23, which
should be fine since 2.4.24 didn't change much code. Proper XFS
patches for 2.4.24 will probably be out soon to fix the one Makefile
rejection for EXTRAVERSION = -xfs, but likely little else will be
different since XFS development has already gone ahead to what is now
the 2.4.25-pre kernel series.

patches/packages/gnupg-1.2.3-i486-2.tgz: Removed support for ElGamal
keys, since an implementation error has caused many of these to be
easily compromised. Any existing sign+encrypt ElGamal keys should
be revoked (and you'll need to use your existing gpg to do that).
Fortunately, ElGamal is not used by default in GnuPG, is not widely
used, and was never a popular choice because it produced larger
signatures and was more costly to encrypt/decrypt than other
choices. If you've been using ElGamal, you will need to select a
new key cipher type for your replacement key (my suggestion would
be to go with the GnuPG default).

This fixes the following local security issue:
o CAN-2003-0542 (cve.mitre.org)
Fix buffer overflows in mod_alias and mod_rewrite which occurred if
one configured a regular expression with more than 9 captures.
This vulnerability requires the attacker to create or modify certain
Apache configuration files, and is not a remote hole. However, it could
possibly be used to gain additional privileges if access to the Apache
administrator account can be gained through some other means. All sites
running Apache should upgrade.

you (or you can simply run it yourself as root).
Thanks to Eugenia Loli-Queru for the bug report.
patches/packages/rpm-4.2.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to rpm-4.2.1.
This fixes problems with the version of RPM shipped with Slackware 9.1.
After the release, it was discovered that attempting to install packages
with RPM would cause it to segfault, and that recompiling that version of
RPM produced a broken binary unable to build SRPMs (this had been
discovered previously, and was the reason RPM had been compiled statically;
unfortunately the static binary quit working for unknown reasons).
The 4.1.x series seems to have the same problems with SRPM building not
working (an incompatibility with glibc-2.3.2, perhaps?), but the 4.2.1
version has been tested and found to work.

patches/packages/openssl-solibs-0.9.7c-i486-2.tgz: Rebuilt.
patches/packages/openssl-0.9.7c-i486-2.tgz: Some minor bugs in the 0.9.7c
release caused a few manpages to be incorrectly installed, as well as
/usr/lib/pkgconfig to be chmoded 644 (which will lead to problems
compiling things). These problems are fixed in our -2 build.
Thanks to Frédéric L. W. Meunier and Mark Post for the bug reports.

patches/packages/openssl-solibs-0.9.7c-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to OpenSSL 0.9.7c.
This update fixes problems with OpenSSL's ASN.1 parsing which could lead to
a denial of service. It is not known whether the problems could lead to the
running of malicious code on the server, but it has not been ruled out.
For detailed information, see OpenSSL's security advisory:
http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20030930.txt
We recommend sites that use OpenSSL upgrade to the fixed packages right away.

(thanks to mRgOBLIN)
a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-36.tgz: Version 2.85 has a bug parsing the default
environment, so we'll stick with a stable version for now.

n/openssh-3.7.1p2-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to openssh-3.7.1p2.
This fixes security problems with PAM authentication. It also includes
several code cleanups from Solar Designer. Slackware does not use PAM and is
not vulnerable to any of the fixed problems.
Please indulge me for this brief aside (as requests for PAM are on the rise):
If you see a security problem reported which depends on PAM, you can be
glad you run Slackware. I think a better name for PAM might be SCAM, for
Swiss Cheese Authentication Modules, and have never felt that the small
amount of convenience it provides is worth the great loss of system
security. We miss out on half a dozen security problems a year by not
using PAM, but you can always install it yourself if you feel that
you're missing out on the fun. (No, don't do that)
OK, I'm done ranting here. :-)
I suppose this is still a:

n/proftpd-1.2.8p-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to proftpd-1.2.8p (patched).
This fixes a security problem in ProFTPD. From http://www.proftpd.org:
X-Force Research at ISS has discovered a remote exploit in ProFTPD's
handling of ASCII translations that an attacker, by downloading a
carefully crafted file, can exploit and gain a root shell. The source
distributions on ftp.proftpd.org have all been replaced with patched
versions. All ProFTPD users are strongly urged to upgrade to one of
the patched versions as soon as possible.
Note that the upgraded package does not change the displayed version
number to 1.2.8p (it remains 1.2.8), but we've verified the source code
to make sure that this is in fact the patched version. We recommend all
sites running ProFTPD upgrade to the new package right away.

extra/kernel-modules-xfs/alsa-driver-xfs-0.9.6-i486-3.tgz: Renamed.
Bruno Henrique Collovini wasn't going to leave me alone until I did this. ;-)
extra/kernel-modules-xfs/kernel-modules-xfs-2.4.22-i486-3.tgz: Renamed.
pasture/dontuse/wu-ftpd/wu-ftpd-2.6.2-i486-3.tgz: Fixed a security problem in
/etc/ftpconversions (CVE-1999-0997). There's also another hole in wu-ftpd
which may be triggered if the MAIL_ADMIN feature (notifies the admin of
anonymous uploads) is used, so MAIL_ADMIN has been disabled in this build.
Also note that we've moved this from /pasture to /pasture/dontuse, which
should tell you something.

"SECURITY: Fix a buffer overflow in address parsing. Problem
detected by Michal Zalewski, patch from Todd C. Miller
of Courtesan Consulting.
Fix a potential buffer overflow in ruleset parsing. This problem
is not exploitable in the default sendmail configuration;
only if non-standard rulesets recipient (2), final (4), or
mailer-specific envelope recipients rulesets are used then a
problem may occur. Problem noted by Timo Sirainen."

a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-35.tgz: In rc.M, don't use -f with fc-cache. This is
just too slow to run at every boot, but it'll be done at install's end
or when packages with Type1/TTF fonts are installed.

management error. It is uncertain whether this error is

bootdisks/: New or updated scsi.s, scsi2.s, scsi3.s, pportide.i.
kernels/scsi*.s/: Added scsi3.s to cover the missing SCSI drivers, and
split things somewhat differently among scsi.s and scsi2.s. Added back
pportide.i, since several people have asked for its return. See
bootdisks/README.TXT for details about which drivers are in each kernel.
extra/slackpkg-0.99/slackpkg-0.99-noarch-4.tgz: Added slackpkg, a simple
tool for keeping a Slackware system up-to-date. Thanks to Piter Punk for
quickly fixing a few last-minute bugs, and reminding me that I'd promised
to add this. It's only fair, especially as I'm not a big believer in
automated dependency handling. :-)

options to the setup.services menu.
a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-34.tgz: In rc.M, use -f option with fc-cache.
ap/sgml-tools-1.0.9-i386-8.tgz: Moved here from /extra. Without sgml-tools,
scrollkeeper-update can take a *long* time to update. This also avoids
libxml2 attempting to "phone home" to various DTD catalog sites in a tight
loop. I'd be surprised if this broken scrollkeeper/libxml2 wasn't pounding
some of those sites... clearly it's not robust enough. I'd like to see a
setting or config file for these that prevents unauthorized attempts to access
the network. Strangely, with *no* network access and no sgml-tools,
scrollkeeper-update runs reasonably fast and the generated database works
well enough (although it's not as verbosely tagged).

gnome/nautilus-media-0.3.3.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to nautilus-media-0.3.3.1.
kde/kdelinks-1.1-noarch-1.tgz: Add menu links for Galeon, Xine, and a few
other things.

l/gdk-pixbuf-0.22.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gdk-pixbuf-0.22.0.
n/portmap-5.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to portmap5, added /etc/rc.d/rc.portmap.
n/ppp-2.4.1-i486-3.tgz: Build with HAVE_INET6=y (thanks to Anthony Roos).
n/tcpip-0.17-i486-20.tgz: In rc.inet2, start rpc.portmap through rc.portmap.
Added /etc/rc.d/rc.ip_forward to activate/deactivate packet forwarding.
Both are off (chmod 644) by default, but nfs-utils will still start portmap
for you if you try to start the NFS server without it running. If you've
defined shares in /etc/exports and are running rc.nfsd I see no reason to
argue simply because /etc/rc.d/rc.portmap isn't executable.
xap/fvwm-2.4.16-i486-2.tgz: Fixed ownerships in /usr/bin.
Thanks to Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi for checking root:bin correctness.
extra/emu-tools-0.9.4/emu-tools-0.9.4-i386-2.tgz: Fixed /usr/local path in
/usr/etc/emu-script (thanks to Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi).
The Mozilla mystery (won't run after GTK1 Mozilla is ever installed and run) has
been mostly solved. The problem is caused when the GTK1 Mozilla is run by root.
This causes Mozilla to create several .rdf files under /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4/.
Since these aren't part of the original package, they remain when Mozilla is
upgraded to the GTK2 version, and prevent it from starting. The solution is
to remove the old Mozilla package, remove /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4 and all its
contents, and then install the GTK2 Mozilla package. After that, Mozilla should
work for all users. Thanks to Mark McGrew for providing the crucial clues.

a/module-init-tools-0.9.14-i486-1.tgz:
Upgraded to module-init-tools-0.9.14.
d/j2sdk-1_4_2-i586-5.tgz: Change PATH and MANPATH to use
/usr/lib/java/ instead of /usr/lib/j2sdk1.4.2/.
(Suggested by Doug Asherman)
Removed extra hotplug package (noticed by Alan Brown).
+--------------------------+
Fri Sep 12 00:47:02 PDT 2003
Here comes Slackware 9.1 beta-1! (things are looking good, so expect
a very short beta cycle. :-) ZipSlack still to come.
a/hotplug-2003_08_05-noarch-3.tgz: Blacklist i810-tco which crashes
some Intel motherboards (thanks to Damjan and Piter PUNK).
a/lprng-3.8.22-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to lprng-3.8.22. Removed broken
/usr/sbin/monitor. (thanks to Dirk van Deun)
a/pkgtools-9.1.0-i486-1.tgz: Merged installpkg fixes from the version
used on the initrd. Added a menu to select default startup services.
a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-33.tgz: Uncommented the netatalk block in rc.M,
so that rc.atalk runs if executable (or otherwise does not).
Protect /etc/random-seed with chmod 600 (thanks to Daryl Bunce).
gnome/epiphany-1.0-i486-1.tgz: Added epiphany-1.0.
gnome/galeon-1.3.8-i486-1.tgz: Welcome back galeon! :-)
gnome/gdm-2.4.4.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gdm-2.4.4.0.
l/libart_lgpl-2.3.16-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to libart_lgpl-2.3.16.
This fixes crashes in GDM, Nautilus, and other apps. Now if I could
just figure out why scrollkeeper likes to hang for up to 20 minutes
when running scrollkeeper-update, then GNOME might be in acceptable
shape...
n/inetd-1.79s-i486-3.tgz: Added /etc/rc.d/rc.inetd.
n/nail-10.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to nail-10.5.

n/ntp-4.1.2-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to ntp-4.1.2.

(suggested by Jaroslaw Swierczynski)
n/tcpip-0.17-i486-19.tgz: In rc.inet2, start inetd using rc.inetd.
xap/mozilla-1.4-i486-2.tgz: Rebuilt with --enable-default-toolkit=gtk2.
I'm not going to wait forever for this to be declared ready (like the
old days when everyone was using glibc betas and we refused), because
more and more I get the feeling it will never get official approval.
Everyone else is doing it! ;-)
I did notice one strange problem where Mozilla just wouldn't start if
the user had run the previous gtk1-linked version of Mozilla before.
If you notice this, let me know if you find the cause.
xap/mozilla-plugins-1.4-noarch-1.tgz: Some symlinks for Mozilla.
extra/bash-completion-20030911/bash-completion-20030911-noarch-1.tgz:
Upgraded to bash-completion-20030911.
+--------------------------+

gnome/gconf-editor-2.4.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gconf-editor-2.4.0.
gnome/gdm-2.4.1.6-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled, switched to standard 'gdmlogin'
greeter, as the graphical one is crashing. The newer version (2.4.4.0)
seems to be even more unstable, and changes the Session handling in a
way that seems to complicate everything needlessly, so I think this is
the version to stick with for now. If anyone knows what is wrong with
gdmgreeter, please let me know.
gnome/gedit-2.4.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gedit-2.4.0.

ap/espgs-7.05.6-i486-2.tgz: Switched back to espgs-7.05.6 with the patch to
fix PNG devices, as espgs-7.07.1rc1 seems to have broken PDF. I should have
known better than to try an RC, but it is based on a stable GNU version so
I'll use that as my excuse. ;-)

extra/ham/node-0.3.2-i486-1.tgz.tgz: Fixed a bug that may allow a remote
attacker to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable host. The issue is
reported to exist due to a lack of bounds checking, leading to a buffer
overflow condition. Thanks to SM6TKY for locating this problem.
(* Security fix *)
extra/ham/opie_server-2.32-i386-2.tgz: Removed. It's old.
extra/ham/shapelib-1.2.10-i486-1.tgz: Added shapelib-1.2.10. This package
is used by Xastir.

+--------------------------+
Tue Sep 2 00:09:57 PDT 2003
bootdisks/: Upgraded to Linux 2.4.22.
isolinux/initrd.img, rootdisks/install.*: Try to install correct symlinks
for /dev/cdrom and /dev/dvd (although there's only so much that can be done
when all ATAPI CD devices are reporting themselves as DVD-ROMs...)
Upgraded USB keyboard modules to 2.4.22.
rootdisks/network.dsk, pcmcia.dsk: Upgraded to Linux 2.4.22 modules.
a/acpid-1.0.2-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to acpid-1.0.2.
a/devs-2.3.1-noarch-14.tgz: Added ALSA devices.
a/etc-5.1-noarch-5.tgz: Added /tmp/.ICE-unix (thanks Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi)
a/hotplug-2003_08_05-noarch-2.tgz: Blacklisted OSS modules so ALSA will load.
a/kernel-ide-2.4.22-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.4.22.
a/kernel-modules-2.4.22-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.4.22 modules.
Merged iptables example and NIC fixes for rc.modules from Piter Punk.
Load agpgart module by default (should be harmless on non-AGP machines, but
let me know if I'm wrong about that).
a/procps-2.0.14-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to procps-2.0.14.
a/sed-3.02-i486-1.tgz: Switched to sed-3.02 with a patch from IBM to support
multibyte characters found here:
http://oss.software.ibm.com/developer/opensource/linux/patches/i18n/
This was done because both super-sed and the 4.x branch of GNU sed have some
serious performance and regex bugs. I'd meant to revert super-sed before,
and remembered when it caused the lvm build to fail...
a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-32.tgz: In rc.S, don't write to /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
without checking it first. (thanks giovanni quadriglio)
In rc.M, run rc.alsa to load the mixer defaults.
a/xfsprogs-2.5.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to acl-2.2.15, attr-2.4.8, dmapi-2.0.8,
xfsdump-2.2.13, and xfsprogs-2.5.6.
ap/alsa-utils-0.9.6-i486-1.tgz: Added alsa-utils-0.9.6.

n/gnupg-1.2.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gnupg-1.2.3.
n/stunnel-4.04-i486-1.tgz: Added stunnel-4.04.
n/tcpip-0.17-i386-18.tgz: Fixed typo in rc.inet1 comments.
Upgraded to whois-4.6.6 and patched a command-line buffer overflow. (since
this requires command-line control and whois is not setuid, this overflow
is useless for gaining root)
Merged in tools from iputils-ss021109-try, including arping, clockdiff,
ping (improved version), rarpd, rdisc, tracepath, and traceroute6. iputils
also includes several IPsec utilities that rely on apparently broken modified
glibc headers that are bundled in (these did not compile).
extra/gimp-1.3.19/gimp-1.3.19-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gimp-1.3.19.
(thanks to Brent Cook for reporting that gimp-1.3 needed at least a recompile
after the recent GNOME upgrades)
kernel-modules-2.4.22_xfs/alsa-driver-0.9.6_xfs-i486-1.tgz: ALSA modules for
the optional XFS kernel.
kernel-modules-2.4.22_xfs/kernel-modules-2.4.22_xfs-i486-1.tgz: Kernel modules
for the optional XFS kernel. You'll need to install these if you use the
precompiled kernel for XFS.
+--------------------------+
Tue Aug 26 22:47:08 PDT 2003
a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-31.tgz: In rc.S, detect if rc.hotplug is non-executable
and if so, echo "/dev/null" > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug to make sure hotplug
isn't triggered as modules or devices are accessed. Clean up rc.M.
In /etc/rc.d/rc.6, detect SCRAM upsstatus (thanks to Bruce G. Burns).
n/nfs-utils-1.0.5-i486-2.tgz: In rc.nfsd, start rpc.portmap if it's not
already running, since it's no longer run by default.
(Thanks to Marek Januszewski)
n/sendmail-8.12.9-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled against OpenSSL to provide STARTTLS
option. (Thanks to Luigi Genoni for the major help!)
n/sendmail-cf-8.12.9-noarch-3.tgz: Added additional config files to support
TLS if the proper certificates are installed (sendmail-slackware-tls.mc and
sendmail-slackware-tls.cf). (thanks again, V-man :-)
n/tcpip-0.17-i386-17.tgz: Upgraded to tftp-hpa-0.34.
Rewrote rc.inet1 to work better with hotplug (and without). Moved the
configuration details to rc.inet1.conf. Modified netconfig to work with
this. In rc.inet2, don't run rpc.portmap unless NFS partitions are found
in /etc/fstab. This was a tradeoff -- mounting an NFS partition will hang
if portmap is not running, so this is likely to be a trap for some users.
Comments welcome... it's not as tangled a mess as before, but getting
everything to work together is tricky. It seems like all the various
options work correctly now though, and rc.inet1 is a lot more readable. :-)
+--------------------------+
Mon Aug 25 19:56:00 PDT 2003
isolinux/initrd.img, rootdisks/install.*: Support more than one installation
disc. In expert or menu mode, run all the menus for each disc, and then
go on to install the packages from that disc. Various other bugfixes.
a/cups-1.1.19-i486-3.tgz: chmod 644 /etc/rc.d/rc.cups.new so that CUPS
will not run on a default installation until the admin changes the perms.
a/infozip-5.50-i486-2.tgz: Fixed a bug where a specially crafted archive
might try to write to ../ or ../../, etc, potentially overwriting system
files if the user (such as root) has permissions to overwrite them.
Thanks to jelmer for locating this problem, and Ben Laurie for providing a
patch.
(* Security fix *)
a/lilo-22.5.7.2-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to lilo-22.5.7.2. Patched liloconfig
to understand new fdisk 2.12 partition names (Win95 -> W95).
a/util-linux-2.12-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to util-linux-2.12.
d/distcc-2.10-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to distcc-2.10.

d/strace-4.4.98-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to strace-4.4.98.
gnome/gnumeric-1.1.19-i486-1.tgz: Switched back to gnumeric-1.1.19 because the
help system in gnumeric-1.1.20 does not work. Hopefully we'll see a fixed
gnumeric-1.1.21 soon.
+--------------------------+
Sat Aug 23 21:39:09 PDT 2003

kde/kdegraphics-3.1.3-i486-2.tgz: Compiled with libglut present,
which allows kpovmodeler to build. (thanks to Emanuele Vicentini
for the report) To do anything with kpovmodeler, you'll first need
to install POV-Ray from http://www.povray.org.
xap/imagemagick-5.5.7_10-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to imagemagick-5.5.7_10.
(this also needed a recompile against libexif-0.5.12, which was
pointed out by Markus Stauffer)
Removed old CUPS and JRE packages from /extra. (thanks, Petr)
+--------------------------+
Tue Aug 19 19:12:45 PDT 2003
a/cups-1.1.19-i486-2.tgz: Moved some binaries and manpages to
<name>-cups and created symlinks to the old names to allow LPRng
and CUPS to coexist.
a/etc-5.1-noarch-4.tgz: Added an example /etc/printcap.new with no
active entries (nobody uses a "line printer" in 2003, and the old
default lp entry from BSD was causing problems with apsfilter).
a/lprng-3.8.21-i486-2.tgz: Moved some binaries and manpages to
<name>-lprng and created symlinks to the old names to allow LPRng
and CUPS to coexist. Removed old BSD /etc/printcap.
Added /etc/rc.d/rc.lprng (chmod 644 by default).
a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-29.tgz: In /etc/rc.d/rc.M, start LPRng through
/etc/rc.d/rc.lprng instead of running lpd directly. Also in rc.M,
start MySQL if /etc/rc.d/rc.mysqld is executable. In /etc/rc.d/rc.6,
shutdown MySQL gracefully.
ap/mysql-4.0.14-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mysql-4.0.14.
Added /etc/rc.d/rc.mysqld (chmod 644 by default).
d/cscope-15.4-i486-1.tgz: Added some copyrighted SCO code. :-)
d/perl-5.8.0-i486-5.tgz: Upgraded to DBD-mysql-2.9002, recompiled
against new libmysqlclient.
kde/kdelibs-3.1.3a-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to kdelibs-3.1.3a.
(this fixes the horizontal scrollbar bug in Konqueror and other KDE apps)
kde/qt-3.1.2-i486-5.tgz: Recompiled against new libmysqlclient.
n/apache-1.3.28-i486-2.tgz: Upgraded to mm-1.3.0. Made /usr/sbin/apachectl
a symlink since this location is shared with the mod_ssl package.

(used by europa plugin)
n/lftp-2.6.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to lftp-2.6.6.

n/mod_ssl-2.8.15_1.3.28-i486-2.tgz: Made /usr/sbin/apachectl a symlink
since this location is shared with the apache package.

x/xfree86-4.3.0-i486-4.tgz: Added fluxbox to /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession.new.
Don't replace existing Xsession, xdm-config, or Xservers files.

a/aaa_base-9.0.91-noarch-1.tgz: Bump /etc/slackware-version to 9.1.0 (pre),
to make it easier to tell a -current box from a 9.0 one now that we're
upgrading glibc and introducing the usual binary incompatibility. (symbol
