Packages
Patched an integer overflow in the X server pixmap
- x/x11-6.8.2-i486-3.tgz
memory allocation that could potentially allow any X user to execute
arbitrary code with root privileges.
For more information, see:

(* Security fix *)

Packages
Patched an issue with umount where if
- a/util-linux-2.12p-i486-2.tgz
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.
