Packages
Upgraded
- d/ruby-1.8.7_p174-i486-1.txz
This fixes a denial of service issue caused by the BigDecimal method
handling large input values improperly that may allow attackers to
crash the interpreter. The issue affects most Rails applications.
For more information, see:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-1904
(* Security fix *) - l/libpng-1.2.37-i486-1.txz
This update fixes a possible security issue. Jeff Phillips discovered an
uninitialized-memory-read bug affecting interlaced images that may have
security implications.

(* Security fix *) - x/mesa-7.4.1-i486-1.txz
Well, actually more like “switched”, or “reverted”. After many hours
trying to track down the reason for reported instability with X and
compositing (such as crashes when adjusting advanced desktop settings in
KDE), we've found that it seems to happen only with MesaLib 7.4.2. Rather
than trying to cherry-pick changes between 7.4.1 and 7.4.2, we've switched
to shipping 7.4.1 in the main tree, and have not run into any such problems
since making the switch. If people want to continue testing 7.4.2, we've
moved it into /testing. Let us know if you run into any problems with
7.4.1 that are fixed with 7.4.2, and we'll take a look at individual diffs.
Added
- extra/kde3-compat/k3b3-1.0.5-i486-opt1.txz
In case the KDE4 version of k3b is not stable, this KDE3 version may be
used along with the KDE3 compatibility packages in extra/kde3-compat/.
testing/packages/mesa-7.4.2-i486-2.txz: Moved to /testing due to apparent
regressions.
