--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2004-252 2004-08-16 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Product : Fedora Core 1 Name : ghostscript Version : 7.07 Release : 15.3 Summary : A PostScript(TM) interpreter and renderer. Description : Ghostscript is a set of software that provides a PostScript(TM) interpreter, a set of C procedures (the Ghostscript library, which implements the graphics capabilities in the PostScript language) and an interpreter for Portable Document Format (PDF) files. Ghostscript translates PostScript code into many common, bitmapped formats, like those understood by your printer or screen. Ghostscript is normally used to display PostScript files and to print PostScript files to non-PostScript printers. If you need to display PostScript files or print them to non-PostScript printers, you should install ghostscript. If you install ghostscript, you also need to install the ghostscript-fonts package. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This update provides shared libraries. --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Wed Aug 04 2004 Tim Waugh <twaugh(a)redhat.com> 7.07-15.3 - Turn on libgs (bug #129062). --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/1/ 9609df78029f1771f225c1a2b92d8dd0 SRPMS/ghostscript-7.07-15.3.src.rpm 4e673c730ca3efcc41e65d8cea796c9d x86_64/ghostscript-7.07-15.3.x86_64.rpm faae1cc13af04433a9eb1cae5449063d x86_64/ghostscript-devel-7.07-15.3.x86_64.rpm b8fb2c0f98c2ec2638268983b1e577db x86_64/ghostscript-gtk-7.07-15.3.x86_64.rpm 42e57cf6bbaff07d5b57044a043c24a5 x86_64/hpijs-1.5-4.2.x86_64.rpm a5e981b42892850a8e13b5f3b8a1a5c5 x86_64/debug/ghostscript-debuginfo-7.07-15.3.x86_64.rpm 4b9eb17132905978cfa6200f4e2d98b5 i386/ghostscript-7.07-15.3.i386.rpm 380bd9b92613559f7f3bbe13c7a0a49c i386/ghostscript-devel-7.07-15.3.i386.rpm 9b951333f4f704950e66a0ac14eda876 i386/ghostscript-gtk-7.07-15.3.i386.rpm 3f2875894035a8c9f2bfc65d08d63833 i386/hpijs-1.5-4.2.i386.rpm 1a5bba827be54186dc2eac399176b7f6 i386/debug/ghostscript-debuginfo-7.07-15.3.i386.rpm This update can also be installed with the Update Agent; you can launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command. ---------------------------------------------------------------------

[SECURITY] Fedora Core 1 Update: kernel-2.4.22-1.2199.nptl
by Dave Jones 10 Aug '04

10 Aug '04

--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2004-251 2004-08-10 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Product : Fedora Core 1 Name : kernel Version : 2.4.22 Release : 1.2199.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. Paul Starzetz discovered flaws in the Linux kernel when handling file offset pointers. These consist of invalid conversions of 64 to 32-bit file offset pointers and possible race conditions. A local unprivileged user could make use of these flaws to access large portions of kernel memory. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0415 to this issue. These packages contain a patch written by Al Viro to correct these flaws. Red Hat would like to thank iSEC Security Research for disclosing this issue and a number of vendor-sec participants for reviewing and working on the patch to this issue. Additionally, a number of issues were fixed in the USB serial code.

Fedora Core 1 Status Update
by Bill Nottingham 06 Aug '04

06 Aug '04

The Fedora Steering Committee proposes to transfer Fedora Core 1 to the Fedora Legacy Project at the point Fedora Core 3 Test 2 is released. This is currently scheduled for September 13, 2004. This represents a one month extension from the original timetable but an extension we hope will enable the Fedora Legacy Project to receive considerably better quality access to the codebase. For more information on the Fedora Legacy Project, or if you wish to join the team please see http://fedoralegacy.org/.
