Announcing the third test release of Fedora Core 2
by Bill Nottingham 27 Apr '04

27 Apr '04

"If I'm curt with you, it's because time is a factor. I think fast, I type fast, and I need you guys to act fast if you want to get the best out of this. So, pretty please, with sugar on top, try the test release!" Yes, it's time for the third and final test release of Fedora Core 2. Notable changes in this release include: - SELinux is now disabled by default. If you'd like to install with SELinux support, pass 'selinux' to the installer. Bug reports about the behavior and support of SELinux are certainly still welcome; we're still working on it. - The 'CD1 won't boot' issue appears to be resolved. Any reports of continued failure are certainly appreciated. - Please check the included translations for correctness and sanity. Anaconda now installs in 31 languages. Problems with Fedora Core 2 test 3 should be reported via bugzilla, at: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/ Please report bugs against 'Fedora Core', release 'test3'. For more information on just what the Fedora Project and Fedora Core is, please see: http://fedora.redhat.com/ For discussion of Fedora Core 2, Test 3, send mail to: fedora-test-list(a)redhat.com with subscribe in the subject line. You can leave the body empty.

[Evolution] Experimental, unstable Evolution 1.5.7 packages for Fedora
by David Malcolm 22 Apr '04

22 Apr '04

I've built packages of the latest unstable Evolution release (1.5.7) for Fedora. If you like living dangerously, you can get them here: http://people.redhat.com/dmalcolm/RPMS This should be a yum repository, so you should be able to install them by editing your /etc/yum.conf appropriately to point to this URL and typing "yum install evolution" as root. Works for me (I'm using it to send this email), though this is built from an UNSTABLE tarball, so expect it to crash, eat your mail, and do other Bad Things from time to time. You have been Warned! Enjoy :-) Dave Malcolm _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - evolution(a)lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution

Fedora News Updates #10
by Colin Charles 22 Apr '04

22 Apr '04

Another issue of the Fedora News Updates has been released and is available at: http://fedoranews.org/colin/fnu/issue10.shtml The current issue is always linked to http://fedoranews.org/colin/fnu/current.shtml In this issue, the fedora-desktop list comes alive, there's some useful visible documentation available, possibilities for new configuration tools, and the fact that a new version of yum needs testing. There's also an interview with Dams, more SELinux and Core 2 test2 notes, as well as some interesting software packages. -- Colin Charles, byte(a)aeon.com.my http://www.bytebot.net/

[SECURITY] Updated kernel packages fix security issues.
by Dave Jones 22 Apr '04

22 Apr '04

--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2004-111 2004-04-22 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : kernel Version : 2.4.22 Release : 1.2188.nptl Summary : The Linux kernel (the core of the Linux operating system) Description : The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz), the core of your Fedora Core Linux operating system. The kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system: memory allocation, process allocation, device input and output, etc. A memory leak was fixed in an error path in the do_fork() routine. This was unlikely to have caused problems in real world situations. The information leak fixed in the previous errata was also found to affect XFS and JFS. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) assigned the names CAN-2004-0133 and CAN-2004-0181 respectively. A vulnerability in the OSS code for SoundBlaster 16 devices was discovered by Andreas Kies. It is possible for local users with access to the sound system to crash the machine (CAN-2004-0178). An automated checked from http://www.coverity.com highlighted a range checking bug in the i810 DRM driver. This was fixed by Andrea Arcangeli and Chris Wright. Arjan van de Ven discovered the framebuffer code was doing direct userspace accesses instead of using correct interfaces to write to userspace. Brad Spengler found a signedness issue in the cpufreq proc handler which could lead to users being able to read arbitary regions of kernel memory. This was fixed by Dominik Brodowski. Shaun Colley found a potential buffer overrun in the panic() function. As this function does not ever return, it is unlikely that this is exploitable, but has been fixed nonetheless. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) assigned the name CAN-2004-0394 to this issue. Paul Starzetz and Wojciech Purczynski found a lack of bounds checking in the MCAST_MSFILTER socket option which allows user code to write into kernel space, potentially giving the attacker full root priveledges. There has already been proof of concept code published exploiting this hole in a local denial-of-service manner. http://www.isec.pl/vulnerabilities/isec-0015-msfilter.txt has more information. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) assigned the name CAN-2004-0424 to this issue. The previous security errata actually missed fixes for several important problems. This has been corrected in this update. --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Wed Apr 21 2004 Dave Jones <davej(a)redhat.com> - Fix memory leak in do_fork() error path - Really fix CAN-2004-0109 and previous mremap issue. These patches were not applied in the previous errata. - Fix information leak in XFS (CAN-2004-0133) - Fix potential local denial of service in sb16 driver (CAN-2004-0178) - Fix information leak in JFS (CAN-2004-0181) - Add range checking to i810_dma() in DRM driver. - Make ioctl(FBIOGETCMAP) use copy_to_user() rather than memcpy() - Fix information leak in cpufreq userspace ioctl. (CAN-2004-0228) - Fix possible buffer overflow in panic() (CAN-2004-0394) - Fix setsockopt MCAST_MSFILTER integer overflow.

[SECURITY] New utempter package now available for Fedora Core 1
by Mike A. Harris 21 Apr '04

21 Apr '04

--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2004-108 2004-04-21 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : utempter Version : 0.5.5 Release : 3.FC1.0 Summary : A privileged helper for utmp/wtmp updates. Description : Utempter is a utility which allows some non-privileged programs to have required root access without compromising system security. Utempter accomplishes this feat by acting as a buffer between root and the programs. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Topic: An updated utempter package that fixes a potential symlink vulnerability is now available. Problem Description: Utempter is a utility that allows terminal applications such as xterm and screen to update utmp and wtmp without requiring root privileges. Steve Grubb discovered a flaw in Utempter which allowed device names containing directory traversal sequences such as '/../'. In combination with an application that trusts the utmp or wtmp files, this could allow a local attacker the ability to overwrite privileged files using a symlink. Users should upgrade to this new version of utempter, which fixes this vulnerability. --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Tue Apr 20 2004 Mike A.

15 Apr '04

--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2004-104 2004-04-15 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : squid Version : 2.5.STABLE3 Release : 1.fc1 Summary : The Squid proxy caching server. Description : Squid is a high-performance proxy caching server for Web clients, supporting FTP, gopher, and HTTP data objects. Unlike traditional caching software, Squid handles all requests in a single, non-blocking, I/O-driven process. Squid keeps meta data and especially hot objects cached in RAM, caches DNS lookups, supports non-blocking DNS lookups, and implements negative caching of failed requests. Squid consists of a main server program squid, a Domain Name System lookup program (dnsserver), a program for retrieving FTP data (ftpget), and some management and client tools. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Tue Mar 09 2004 Jay Fenlason <fenlason(a)redhat.com> 7:2.5.STABLE3-1.fc1 - Backport security fix for %00 hole. See CAN-2004-0189: The "%xx" URL decoding function in Squid 2.5STABLE4 and earlier allows remote attackers to bypass url_regex ACLs via a URL with a NULL ("%00") characterm, which causes Squid to use only a portion of the requested URL when comparing it against the access control lists. - Backport security fix that adds urllogin acl type that can be used to protect vulnerable Microsoft Internet Explorer clients. --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/1/ 5b3bd9a972398edcacf4801ddc5718a2 SRPMS/squid-2.5.STABLE3-1.fc1.src.rpm c48dccb3751ed519ac1189c8183540b7 i386/squid-2.5.STABLE3-1.fc1.i386.rpm 9a6eb17ff52b70020252026bb77b9279 i386/debug/squid-debuginfo-2.5.STABLE3-1.fc1.i386.rpm 6754ae8a0898506e7488975f9bb43cca x86_64/squid-2.5.STABLE3-1.fc1.x86_64.rpm 617e9faefdfc4a3fa1c9018e0ac7787f x86_64/debug/squid-debuginfo-2.5.STABLE3-1.fc1.x86_64.rpm This update can also be installed with the Update Agent; you can launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command. ---------------------------------------------------------------------

The ooffice wrapper script will install a few files in the user's home, if necessary. Note that this release does not support GPC polygon clipping, but instead uses libart to do the same thing. The OpenOffice.org team hopes you enjoy working with OpenOffice.org! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This update fixes a security vulnerability in the neon included in OpenOffice.org (CAN-2004-0179).
