Several security updates are now available for Slackware 8.1, including
updated packages for Apache, glibc, mod_ssl, openssh, openssl, and php.
Here are the details from the Slackware 8.1 ChangeLog:
----------------------------
Tue Jul 30 19:45:52 PDT 2002
patches/packages/apache-1.3.26-i386-2.tgz: Upgraded the included libmm
to version 1.2.1. Versions of libmm earlier than 1.2.0 contain a tmp
file
vulnerability which may allow the local Apache user to gain privileges
via
temporary files or symlinks. For details, see:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2002-0658
This was also recompiled using EAPI patch from mod_ssl-2.8.10_1.3.26.
(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/glibc-2.2.5-i386-3.tgz: Patched to fix a buffer
overflow
in glibc's DNS resolver functions that look up network addresses.
Another workaround for this problem is to edit /etc/nsswtich.conf
changing:
networks: files dns
to:
networks: files
(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/glibc-solibs-2.2.5-i386-3.tgz: Patched to fix a buffer
overflow in glibc's DNS resolver functions that look up network
addresses.
(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/mod_ssl-2.8.10_1.3.26-i386-1.tgz: This update fixes an
off-by-one error in earlier versions of mod_ssl that may allow local
users to
execute code as the Apache user. For more information, see:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2002-0653
(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/openssh-3.4p1-i386-2.tgz: Recompiled against
openssl-0.9.6e.
This update also contains a fix to the installation script to ensure
that the
sshd privsep user is correctly created.
patches/packages/openssl-0.9.6e-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to openssl-0.9.6e,
which
fixes 4 potentially remotely exploitable bugs. For details, see:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2002-0659
(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/openssl-solibs-0.9.6e-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to
openssl-0.9.6e,
which fixes 4 potentially remotely exploitable bugs. For details,
see:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2002-0659
(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/php-4.2.2-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to php-4.2.2. Earlier
versions
of PHP 4.2.x contain a security vulnerability, which although not
currently
considered exploitable on the x86 architecture is probably still a
good to
patch. For details, see:
http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2002-21.html
(* Security fix *)
