slackware changelog slackware-10.1 2004-09news:2004:09:19:slackware-10.1-changelog

a/cups-1.1.21-i486-1.tgz
where a remote attacker can crash the CUPS server causing a denial of
service.
For more details, see:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0558
(* Security fix *)

a/glibc-solibs-2.3.3-i486-1.tgz
a CVS snapshot taken in early August. The official glibc-2.3.3 tarball
was released in such an obsolete condition (a snapshot from 8 months ago)
that I'd be surprised if any Linux distributions actually package it.

a/glibc-zoneinfo-2.3.3-noarch-1.tgz
a/minicom-2.1-i486-2.tgz: Fixed install script to install the config
files in /etc properly. (thanks to Piter PUNK)
a/pkgtools-10.0.0-i486-2.tgz: Changed the keyboard driver in the sample
/etc/X11/xorg.conf files from “Keyboard” to “kbd”.
l/glibc-2.3.3-i486-1.tgz

a/kernel-ide-2.4.27-i486-1.tgz

a/kernel-modules-2.4.27-i486-1.tgz

ap/sudo-1.6.8p1-i486-1.tgz

d/kernel-headers-2.4.27-i386-1.tgz

gnome/epiphany-1.2.7-i486-1.tgz
gnome/epiphany-extensions-0.9.1-i486-1.tgz
gnome/galeon-1.3.17-i486-1.tgz

k/kernel-source-2.4.27-noarch-1.tgz

kde/koffice-1.3.3-i486-1.tgz

kdei/koffice-i18n-*.tgz
l/alsa-driver-1.0.6a_2.4.27-i486-1.tgz: Recompiled alsa-driver-1.0.6a for
Linux 2.4.27.

l/glibc-i18n-2.3.3-noarch-1.tgz

l/glibc-profile-2.3.3-i486-1.tgz

l/gtk+2-2.4.10-i486-1.tgz
issues in the image loader routines that can crash applications.
(* Security fix *)

l/pango-1.6.0-i486-1.tgz

n/iproute2-2.6.9_ss040831-i486-1.tgz

n/nail-11.7-i486-1.tgz
n/nmap-3.70-i486-2.tgz: Fixed missing docs translations.
(thanks to Alex)
n/php-4.3.8-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled using –enable-exif in addition to
–with-exif. Thanks to Niels Heinis for the tip.
n/proftpd-1.2.10-i486-2.tgz: Fixed slack-desc (thanks to Stuart Winter).

x/x11*6.8.1-i486-1.tgz
Note that the name of the keyboard driver in the xorg.conf file has
changed from “Keyboard” to “kbd”. You'll need to make this change in
order to start X.

xap/gaim-1.0.0-i486-1.tgz

xap/imagemagick-6.0.8_1-i486-1.tgz
Removed spurious libtool library (thanks to Mark Post).

xap/mozilla-1.7.3-i486-1.tgz
The Mozilla page says this fixes some “minor security holes”.
It also breaks Galeon and Epiphany, and new versions of these have
still not appeared. In light of this, I think it's time to remove
these Gecko-based browsers. The future is going to be Firefox and
Thunderbird anyway, and I don't believe Galeon and Epiphany can be
compiled against Firefox's libraries.
(* Security fix *)
xap/mozilla-plugins-1.7.3-noarch-1.tgz: Changed plugin symlinks for
Mozilla 1.7.3.

xap/xine-lib-1rc6a-i686-1.tgz
This release fixes a few overflows that could have security implications.
(* Security fix *)

xap/xlockmore-5.13-i486-1.tgz

xap/xscreensaver-4.18-i486-1.tgz

bootdisks/*

extra/bittornado/bittornado-0.3.7-noarch-1.tgz
0.3.7, an alternate BitTorrent client based on Bram's mainline
BitTorrent code.

extra/k3b/k3b-0.11.15-i486-1.tgz
extra/slacktrack/slacktrack-1.21-i486-2.tgz: Upgraded to
slacktrack-1.21_2.

kernels/*
pasture/apsfilter-7.2.5-i386-2.tgz: The apsfilter print configuration
tool has been moved to /pasture.
pasture/ifhp-3.5.11-i486-1.tgz: Moved ifhp to /pasture. This is a
print filter for LPRng (see below).

pasture/libxml-1.8.17-i486-3.tgz
compile some ham software.
pasture/lprng-3.8.27-i486-1.tgz: Moved LPRng to /pasture. These days
most people want to run CUPS which has more or less taken over the
printing scene as the defacto standard print system. LPRng will
continue to be maintained here, but getting it out of the main
installation will end the annoying problem of it overwriting the
symlinks for CUPS and breaking it.
testing/packages/linux-2.6.8.1/alsa-driver-1.0.6a_2.6.8.1-i486-1.tgz:
Compiled alsa-driver package for Linux 2.6.8.1.
testing/packages/linux-2.6.8.1/kernel-generic-2.6.8.1-i486-1.tgz:
Upgraded to Linux 2.6.8.1 kernel.
testing/packages/linux-2.6.8.1/kernel-headers-2.6.8.1-i386-1.tgz
Upgraded to Linux 2.6.8.1 kernel headers.
testing/packages/linux-2.6.8.1/kernel-modules-2.6.8.1-i486-1.tgz
Upgraded to Linux 2.6.8.1 kernel modules.
testing/packages/linux-2.6.8.1/kernel-source-2.6.8.1-noarch-1.tgz
Upgraded to Linux 2.6.8.1 kernel source.

testing/packages/php-5.0.1/php-5.0.1-i486-1.tgz
