patches/packages/lm_sensors-3.3.4-i486-1_slack12.2.tgz: Upgraded.
This update fixes issues with sensors-detect that may cause serious trouble
on recent hardware (most notably laptops.) The symptoms are that the
display starts misbehaving (wrong resolution or wrong gamma factor.)
The risk is mitigated in this package by changing the default behavior of
sensors-detect to no longer touch EDID EEPROMs and then to no longer probe
graphics adapters at all unless the user asks for it.

# NOTICE OF INPENDING EOL (END OF LIFE) FOR OLD SLACKWARE VERSIONS #
# #
# Effective December 9, 2013, security patches will no longer be #
# provided for the following versions of Slackware (which will all #
# be more than 5 years old at that time): #
# Slackware 12.1, Slackware 12.2. #
# If you are still running these versions you should consider #
# migrating to a newer version (preferably as recent as possible). #
# Alternately, you may make arrangements to handle your own #
# security patches. If for some reason you are unable to upgrade #
# or handle your own security patches, limited security support #
# may be available for a fee. Inquire at security@slackware.com. #

Fixed linking libirc.so with libsasl2.
Added Makefile.in and Makefile to the patch, and applied it after

patches/packages/bind-9.7.6_P2-i486-1_slack12.2.tgz: Upgraded.
Prevents a named assert (crash) when validating caused by using
"Bad cache" data before it has been initialized. [RT #30025]
ISC_QUEUE handling for recursive clients was updated to address a
race condition that could cause a memory leak. This rarely occurred
with UDP clients, but could be a significant problem for a server
handling a steady rate of TCP queries. [RT #29539 & #30233]
Under heavy incoming TCP query loads named could experience a
memory leak which could lead to significant reductions in query
response or cause the server to be terminated on systems with
"out of memory" killers. [RT #29539]
A condition has been corrected where improper handling of zero-length
RDATA could cause undesirable behavior, including termination of
the named process. [RT #29644]

patches/packages/bind-9.7.6_P1-i486-1_slack12.2.tgz: Upgraded.
This release fixes an issue that could crash BIND, leading to a denial of
service. It also fixes the so-called "ghost names attack" whereby a
remote attacker may trigger continued resolvability of revoked domain names.
For more information, see:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2012-1033
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2012-1667
IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a upgraded version of BIND, _not_ a patched one.
It is likely to be more strict about the correctness of configuration files.
Care should be taken about deploying this upgrade on production servers to
avoid an unintended interruption of service.

For those upgrading from PHP 5.2.x, be aware that quite a bit has
changed, and it will very likely not 'drop in', but PHP 5.2.x is not
supported by php.net any longer, so there wasn't a lot of choice
in the matter. We're not able to support a security fork of
PHP 5.2.x here either, so you'll have to just bite the bullet on
this. You'll be better off in the long run. :)

patches/packages/proftpd-1.3.3d-i486-1_slack12.2.tgz: Upgraded.
This update fixes an unbounded copy operation in sql_prepare_where() that
could be exploited to execute arbitrary code. However, this only affects
servers that use the sql_mod module (which Slackware does not ship), and
in addition the ability to exploit this depends on an SQL injection bug
that was already fixed in proftpd-1.3.2rc2 (this according to upstream).
So in theory, this fix should only be of academic interest.
But in practice, better safe than sorry.

libpurple in Pidgin before 2.7.0 allows remote attackers to cause
a denial of service (application crash) via a custom emoticon in a
malformed SLP message.

As of version 2.0, SeaMonkey no longer includes a shared libgtkmozembed
library, so the pkgconfig and header files for this have been removed from
the package to avoid confusion over why trying to compile programs that
use it no longer works. There's not really any way to avoid this issue --
it's either upgrade SeaMonkey and lose libgtkmozembed, or keep using version
1.1.18 and miss out on SeaMonkey security updates. If you really need
libgtkmozembed, the seamonkey-1.1.18 packages will be retained in either
/patches or /pasture for Slackware versions 13.0 and earlier.

+--------------------------+
Tue Aug 18 14:35:23 CDT 2009
patches/packages/linux-2.6.27.31/:
Added new kernels and kernel packages for Linux 2.6.27.31 to address
a bug in proto_ops structures which could allow a user to use the
kernel sendpage operation to execute arbitrary code in page zero.
This could allow local users to gain escalated privileges.
This flaw was discovered by Tavis Ormandy and Julien Tinnes of the
Google Security Team.
For more information, see:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-2692
In addition, these kernels change CONFIG_DEFAULT_MMAP_MIN_ADDR kernel
config option value to 4096, which should prevent the execution of
arbitrary code by future NULL dereference bugs that might be found in
the kernel. If you are compiling your own kernel, please check this
option in your .config. If it is set to =0, you may wish to edit it
to 4096 (or some other value > 0) and then reconfigure, or the kernel
will not have default protection against zero page attacks from
userspace.
(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/kernel-mmap_min_addr-4096-noarch-1.tgz:
This package adds an init script to edit /etc/sysctl.conf, adding
this config option:
vm.mmap_min_addr = 4096
This will configure the kernel to disallow mmap() to userspace of any
page lower than 4096, preventing privilege escalation by CVE-2009-2692.
This is a hot fix package and will take effect immediately upon
installation on any system running a kernel that supports configurable
/proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr (kernel 2.6.23 or newer).

patches/packages/udev-141-i486-2_slack12.2.tgz:
Fixed a regression with serial/dialout device ownership.
Slackware 12.2 uses the 'uucp' group for these devices, but the newer
version of udev has changed them to 'dialout', leading to log errors and
an incorrect group ownership for serial devices since the 'dialout' group
does not exist on Slackware 12.2.
This update changes the serial device group ownership back to 'uucp'.
Thanks to Alexander Pravdin for the fast bug report.
Changed the permissions on the real time clock (/dev/rtc0) so that all
users can read it.

patches/packages/xdg-utils-1.0.2-noarch-3_slack12.2.tgz:
This update fixes two security issues. First, use of xdg-open in
/etc/mailcap was found to be unsafe -- xdg-open passes along downloaded files
without indicating what mime type they initially presented themselves as,
leaving programs further down the processing chain to discover the file type
again. This makes it rather trivial to present a script (such as a .desktop
file) as a document type (like a PDF) so that it looks safe to click on in a
browser, but will result in the execution of an arbitrary script. It might
be safe to send files to trusted applications in /etc/mailcap, but it does
not seem to be safe to send files to xdg-open in /etc/mailcap.
This package will comment out calls to xdg-open in /etc/mailcap if they are
determined to have been added by a previous version of this package.
If you've made any local customizations to /etc/mailcap, be sure to check
that there are no uncommented calls to xdg-open after installing this update.
Thanks to Manuel Reimer for discovering this issue.
For more information, see:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-0068
Another bug in xdg-open fails to sanitize input properly allowing the
execution of arbitrary commands. This was fixed in the xdg-utils repository
quite some time ago (prior to the inclusion of xdg-utils in Slackware), but
was never fixed in the official release of xdg-utils. The sources for
xdg-utils in Slackware have now been updated from the repo to fix the problem.

patches/packages/mkinitrd-1.3.3-i486-1_slack12.2.tgz:
Fixed a few bugs in the previous mkinitrd package:
If a kernel version is requested with the -k option and modules are needed to
build the initrd, exit with an error if no matching /lib/modules/ tree is
present. Usually an incorrect kernel version was supplied.
Thanks to Eric Hameleers.
When adding kernel modules to the initrd, be more verbose showing success and
failure copying each module. Thanks to Ellington Santos.
With some newer kernels, "/dev/root" might be returned by mount as the root
device, but this will not work as an initrd root device. If mount returns
/dev/root, look at the /dev/root symlink to determine the actual root device
and use that so that the root device does not need to be supplied with -r.
In the call to /sbin/modprobe used to determine module dependencies, use the
option --ignore-install to avoid catching "install" lines under
/etc/modprobe.d/ when modules that use these are added to the initrd. This
prevents /sbin/modprobe from being copied over busybox, breaking the initrd.
Thanks to Ken Milmore.

Slackware 12.2 is released as -stable. Thanks as always to everyone who helped
make this a great point release in the Slackware 12.x series. Without such a
great community surrounding it, Slackware could not possibly be as stable and
reliable as it is. Thanks to the Slackware Crew, the users of LinuxQuestions,
people contributing ideas and patches on IRC and other Slackware forums, the
developers at slackbuilds.org for bringing in new technologies, and everyone
else who shared insights that helped to refine this release over many months.
Happy release day to you all! :-)
Also, ISOs have been sent off to the replicator now to be pressed as a 6 CD
set or a single DVD. The store.slackware.com is taking pre-orders -- if you
like Slackware, please consider supporting the project. We've also added new
black T-shirts with the traditional Slackware logo. Check them out!
Once again, thanks to the entire Slackware community for all the help and
encouragement as Slackware 12.2 progressed to release. Have fun! -P.

+--------------------------+
Sun Dec 7 23:14:42 CST 2008
n/network-scripts-12.2-noarch-4.tgz: Patched rc.inet1 to filter output from
"modprobe -c" that begins with #, preventing spurious error messages.
Thanks to Darrell Anderson.

kde/kdeadmin-3.5.10-i486-4.tgz: Updated the knetworkconf patch to handle the
domain name better, and to retain the correct permissions on rc.samba.
Thanks to Niels Horn for the improvements.

l/dbus-glib-0.78-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to dbus-glib-0.78.
l/hal-0.5.11-i486-3.tgz: Modified hal.conf to use the plugdev group correctly.
l/libgphoto2-2.4.3-i486-3.tgz: Added README.jl2005a. Although the driver
for this proprietary chipset is not built by default, the README is
useful to let people know why that is (and perhaps as a warning to steer
clear of these cameras unless you happen to be an expert in reverse
engineering compression formats).

a/hdparm-9.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to hdparm-9.3.
ap/man-pages-3.15-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to man-pages-3.15.
kde/kdeadmin-3.5.10-i486-3.tgz: Patched knetworkconf (KDE Control Center
Network Settings) to be able to configure network interfaces. Previously,
knetworkconf would say that the system was not supported and refuse to work
since it considered only up to Slackware 10.2 supported. By simply adding
Slackware 11.0, 12.0, 12.1, and 12.2 to the supported version list, this
utility works again. However, it can strip commented out options from the
rc.inet1.conf config file, and can put options into the file in a confusing
order, so it is still not the optimal way to configure a network. Still,
it's better to have this working. Thanks to Niels Horn for writing the
patch, and Darrell Anderson for letting me know about it.
l/libgphoto2-2.4.3-i486-2.tgz: Restore README files for camera libraries that
were not previously included. A pointer to the API documentation has also
been added to the docs directory. Thanks to Theodore Kilgore for pointing
out the usefulness of these documentation files to end users.
n/network-scripts-12.2-noarch-3.tgz: Allow rc.inet1.conf to override MAXNICS
value in rc.inet1. Thanks to Eric Hameleers.
Added rc.inet1.8 and rc.inet1.conf.5 manpages. Thanks to Eric Hameleers.
Removed duplicated code in rc.inet1 default case. Thanks to Collin Baillie.
xap/pidgin-2.5.2-i486-3.tgz: Patched to accept certificates signed with
rsa-md5. Other SSL libraries accept this, so GnuTLS should as well.
extra/wicd/wicd-1.5.6-noarch-2.tgz: Change usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/55wicd to
chmod 644 by default to avoid interference with suspend.
+--------------------------+
Fri Dec 5 20:58:39 CST 2008
ap/ghostscript-8.63-i486-2.tgz: Patched to remove a dependency on the
experimental cairo output driver, which brings in dependencies on many X
libraries. Thanks to Marin Glibic for the bug report and link to the
upstream patch.
ap/gutenprint-5.2.2-i486-3.tgz: Edited setup.06.gutenprint, which still
had the old path to the PPD files. Thanks to Markus Kanet.
ap/pm-utils-1.2.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to pm-utils-1.2.3.
xap/gftp-2.0.19-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gftp-2.0.19.

Runtime Environment Version 6.0 update 11.
n/php-5.2.7-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to php-5.2.7.
In addition to improvements and bug fixes, this new version of PHP also
addresses several security issues, including:
Fixed a crash inside gd with invalid fonts (Fixes CVE-2008-3658).
Fixed a possible overflow inside memnstr (Fixes CVE-2008-3659).
Fixed security issues detailed in CVE-2008-2665 and CVE-2008-2666.
Crash with URI/file..php (filename contains 2 dots). (Fixes CVE-2008-3660).
rfc822.c legacy routine buffer overflow. (Fixes CVE-2008-2829).

While there are still some docs that need updating and probably a few more
tweaks and updates here and there, everything is mostly in place for the next
stable release, Slackware 12.2. The versions of major components like X and
the kernel can be considered frozen. Anything major that we haven't done yet
will probably wait for the release after this next one. As Slackware 12.2 is
only a 0.1 version bump, we're trying to focus on making it better without
causing instability or losing compatibility with Slackware 12.1 wherever
possible. Invasive changes like the new X (that will require changes to
xorg.conf) and merging KDE4 should probably wait for Slackware 13.0.
We will call this batch Slackware 12.2 release candidate one. :-)
a/aaa_base-12.2.0-noarch-1.tgz: Bumped /etc/slackware-version version number
in preparation for a stable release, and updated the initial emails.
a/aaa_elflibs-12.2.0-i486-1.tgz: Updated the initial "starter" library package
to the latest versions in -current.
a/genpower-1.0.5-i486-2.tgz: Patched genpowerfail to halt the machine during a
power failure rather than causing it to reboot over and over.
Thanks to Marin Mitov for the bug report.
a/ntfs-3g-1.5130-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to ntfs-3g-1.5130.
a/pciutils-2.2.10-i486-2.tgz: Updated pci.ids.
a/sysvinit-scripts-1.2-noarch-26.tgz: Patched rc.M to start rc.wicd and
rc.snmpd if those scripts are executable, and removed the reference to the
old rc.hplip script. Also, modifed rc.K to shut down acpid using rc.acpid.
Changed /proc/bus/usb mounting in rc.S to use the options from /etc/fstab if
there is an entry for it there (thanks to Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi).
a/udev-135-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to udev-135.
a/usbutils-0.73-i486-3.tgz: Updated usb.ids.
ap/alsa-utils-1.0.17-i486-2.tgz: Patched rc.alsa to use [[:blank:]] instead of
[[:space:]] with tr, since the latter removes vertical whitespace and causes
everything to be incorrectly listed on one line.
Thanks to Ondrej Kubecka for the patch.
l/hal-info-20081127-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to hal-info-20081127.
n/ethtool-6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to ethtool-6. Evidently this has been out
for some time -- thanks to Jan Rafaj for the notice.
n/network-scripts-12.2-noarch-1.tgz: Removed the automatic DHCP timeout
reduction in rc.inet1, since the kernel is not reliably returning correct
information about that. If the default 30 second timeout is too long, it
can be shortened in rc.inet1.conf.
Patched rc.ip_forward to reapply any non-default ipv4 parameters after
turning ipv4 forwarding on or off, as doing that clears them. Thanks to Mark.
tcl/expect-5.44.1.11-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled.
tcl/tcl-8.5.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to tcl-8.5.5.

+--------------------------+
Sun Nov 30 22:15:32 CST 2008
a/sysvinit-scripts-1.2-noarch-25.tgz: Edited rc.S to clear temporary files
better. Edited rc.M, rc.6, and rc.K to not output additional information
when running accton, as the new binary already does that.
a/udev-134-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to udev-134. Thanks to Piter Punk.
(Remove any obsolete /etc/modprobe.d/uhci-hci config file after upgrade)
ap/gutenprint-5.2.2-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gutenprint-5.2.2.

video flags after a resume.

ap/vbetool-1.1-i486-1.tgz: Added vbetool-1.1.
l/jre-6u10-i586-2.tgz: Added /usr/bin/java/jre/bin directory since the profile
scripts add it to the $PATH. Thanks to Phillip Warner.
n/wireless-tools-29-i486-4.tgz: Patched rc.wireless to take the interface
down and retry if setting the mode fails. Thanks to Guan Xin.

Sat Nov 29 14:21:53 CST 2008
a/lilo-22.8-i486-14.tgz: Fixed typo in liloconfig.
a/udev-130-i486-2.tgz: Rebuilt including a new /etc/modprobe.d/uhci-hci to
make sure that the ehci-hcd module is always loaded before uhci-hci.
ap/lsscsi-0.21-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to lsscsi-0.21.
Thanks to Darrell Anderson for pointing me to the new URL.
ap/mc-4.6.1_20070623p14-i486-2.tgz: Patched to fix a bug where moving or
copying a file could cause mc to crash. Thanks to David Somero for the patch.
d/ruby-1.8.7_p72-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled with a patch to fix short name
constants. Thanks to Marco Bonetti for pointing out the problem.
n/bridge-utils-1.2-i486-2.tgz: Patched to fix a corner case where brctl does
not work if the name of the bridge is "bridge".
xap/audacious-plugins-1.5.1-i486-4.tgz: Patched to fix amidi-plug plugin.

ap/slackpkg-2.70.4-noarch-1.tgz: Added slackpkg-2.70.4. Moving this into the
main tree was long overdue. Thanks to Piter Punk! :-)
ap/texinfo-4.13a-i486-2.tgz: Patched the install script to replace
/usr/info/dir if the topmost node is missing.

a/acpid-1.0.8-i486-2.tgz: Fixed a bug in the build script so that
/etc/acpi/acpi_handler.sh.new is chmoded executable. If you installed the
previous package, you should chmod 755 your /etc/acpi/acpi_handler.sh.
Thanks to Stuart Winter for pointing this out.
+--------------------------+
Wed Nov 19 19:52:15 CST 2008
a/acpid-1.0.8-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to acpid-1.0.8.
/etc/acpi/acpi_handler.sh will be installed as a .new with future upgrades,
but since whatever version already installed on the system owns
/etc/acpi/acpi_handler.sh, it will still be overwritten one more time when
this update is installed. If you've customized your script, be sure to back
it up before upgrading.
a/mkinitrd-1.3.2-i486-4.tgz: Fixed a bug where unless -F was the first option
given, other command line options would not override the contents of
/etc/mkinitrd.conf as documented in the man page.
Thanks to David Somero for the patch.
l/libxml2-2.6.32-i486-2.tgz: Patched and recompiled.
This fixes vulnerabilities including denial of service, or possibly the
execution of arbitrary code as the user running a libxml2 linked application
if untrusted XML content is parsed.

NOTE: These are some of the more important updates for X.Org. For the last
several days we have been building and testing the very newest X updates, and
it seems that the more intrusive updates are probably best left to develop
until sometime after the coming -stable Slackware 12.2 release. Those will
require a lot of testing and some things don't seem to be quite there yet.
"X -configure" is hanging the console, DRI is not yet working on all the
hardware tested, and the new xorg-server will render most existing xorg.conf
files non-functional until several changes are made.
extra/slacktrack/slacktrack-2.01-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to slacktrack-2.01.

one self-signed certificate. This update fixes the issue.
n/net-snmp-5.4.2.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to net-snmp-5.4.2.1.
This fixes a problem where a user with read access could cause snmpd to
crash, resulting in a denial of service.

accounting file format (and the older log formats). Thanks to Jan Rafaj for
letting me know this needed an update and where to find it.
ap/madplay-0.15.2b-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled. This fixes a problem (endian

n/bluez-libs-3.36-i486-2.tgz: Switched back to the BlueZ 3.x series. As the
website says, "without support from the userspace these modules are useless."
Well, it seems as if the userspace support for BlueZ 3.x is still much better
than the support for 4.x, so we'll move back to these packages (recompiled)
until the situation changes. Thanks to Tom Nardi for the detailed report
concerning the usability of BlueZ 3.x versus BlueZ 4.x.
n/bluez-utils-3.36-i486-4.tgz: Switched back to bluez-utils-3.36, with the
udev rules moved into /lib/udev/rules.d/.

From the gnutls-2.6.1 NEWS file:
** libgnutls: Fix X.509 certificate chain validation error.
[GNUTLS-SA-2008-3] The flaw makes it possible for man in the middle
attackers (i.e., active attackers) to assume any name and trick GNU TLS

a/cups-1.3.9-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to cups-1.3.9.
This update fixes three vulnerabilities in the SGI image format filter, the
texttops filter, and the HP-GL and HP-GL/2 plotter format filter. All three
of these could result in a denial of service, and the plotter filter issue
could possibly be used to execute code as the print spooler user.

Note that some drives that were previously seen as /dev/hd? might now show up
as /dev/sd?, so be prepared for that possibility. This should only happen on
machines that could have used libata with hd?=noprobe, but did not. The
CONFIG_PATA_LEGACY (libata, /dev/sd?) is the default now for PATA controllers
that require a generic driver.

This, like the previous package, fails when "convert foo.eps foo.png" is

Any hints welcome.

ap/sox-14.1.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to sox-14.1.0.
See the documention for changes to the command-line options.
Thanks to tasos and misiu for the update suggestion.
l/libvisual-plugins-0.4.0-i486-1.tgz: Added libvisual-plugins-0.4.0.
These create some cool special effects with Amarok.
Thanks to Darrell Anderson for suggesting the addition. :-)
xap/xmms-1.2.11-i486-2.tgz: Patched to fix the doublesize option.
Thanks to Patryk Krawaczynski, Keith Richie, and Catalin Tomozei for all
sending in the same working patch. Honorable mentions to LukenShiro, misiu,
and Willy Sudiarto Raharjo for proposing "XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 xmms" as
another possible workaround for the problem.
+--------------------------+
Thu Sep 11 16:02:24 CDT 2008
xap/xmms-1.2.11-i486-1.tgz: Added xmms-1.2.11. This is an audio player that
is similar to audacious, but uses about a third of the CPU power.
Please note that "doublesize" mode seems broken -- if it is enabled, XMMS
will crash, and then will not start again until $HOME/.xmms is cleared out.
Any patch for this issue would be appreciated.

sorry about the omitted accent in your name. The limitations of ASCII
strike again.

A few updates... more to come.
a/glibc-solibs-2.7-i486-11.tgz: Recompiled against Linux 2.6.24.7.
a/glibc-zoneinfo-2.7-noarch-11.tgz: Rebuild from tzcode/tzdata2008e.
a/kernel-generic-2.6.24.7-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.24.7.
We are bumping the kernel within the 2.6.24.x series for now rather than
leaping for 2.6.26.x immediately for sereral reasons. First, we know that
it works within the existing framework, and the config files did not need
major changes (only CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES was changed to =y for
libcap support). Also, we know that the kernel headers are usable for
compiling glibc, KDE, and several other important packages. Finally, we
had to recompile the kernel anyway due to the GCC bump, and would rather not
rush into 2.6.26.x. Finding the optimal .config files will not be trivial,
speakup will need to be reevaluated, and so forth. But don't panic -- the
goal is 2.6.26.x (or newer, if it proves stable). Testing here and
throughout the Slackware community continues with the latest kernels, and so
far things are looking good. This is an interim kernel to make sure that
video drivers, console UTF8, and other things don't suddenly begin to act
strangely...
a/kernel-generic-smp-2.6.24.7_smp-i686-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.24.7.

d/doxygen-1.5.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to doxygen-1.5.6.
d/gcc-4.2.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gcc-4.2.4.
This an upgrade to a known stable GCC. The gcc-4.3.x branch is much more
strict about source correctness, and many upstream sources would need to be
patched in order to compile with it. Therefore, this is the logical next
compiler to use until those issues are worked out upstream. Adding gcc-4.3.x
at this time would be, IMHO, an annoyance for many people compiling their own
sources or packages.
d/gcc-g++-4.2.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gcc-4.2.4.

n/samba-3.2.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to samba-3.2.3. This fixes a security
issue where group_mapping.ldb was accidentally chmod 666 (only in -current,
as all previous Slackware versions use the Samba 3.0.x branch which is not
affected). This build also adds the mount.smbfs wrapper script for
mount.cifs, and a link to the wrapper from /usr/bin/smbmount. This may
fix some of the issues that people were having mounting SMB filesystems.
Note that SMBFS is considered obsolete now, and using mount.smbfs really
isn't any different in function using the wrapper than using mount.cifs
directly. For more information on the security issue, see:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-3789
(* Security fix *)
Since this security issue only affects the unreleased development branch,
(aka -current) this ChangeLog comment is the official notification.
For those using older versions of Slackware, many of them got bugfix
updates to the 3.0.x branch. Check the new packages out -- they should
correct some stability issues.

Giovanni Venturi for pointing out the patch in KOffice's SVN.
+--------------------------+
Wed Aug 27 21:01:25 CDT 2008
A couple of things slipped through the cracks with that last update. An old
patch was applied to kdenetwork making that build fail. Once that was fixed
kdetoys (previously missing) built correctly. Perhaps it needed a header file
or library from kdenetwork. Sorry about that, and thanks to
Willy Sudiarto Raharjo and Corrado Franco for pointing out the omissions.

Upgraded KDE version 3.x.x to 3.5.10. Really, there's nothing wrong with
looking back as long as it's something stable and dependable. It's good to
see that KDE3 received this maintainance update. Thanks, KDE team! :-)

Thanks to Robby Workman and Heinz Wiesinger for all the packaging and testing
help, and of course to the whole KDE community for helping to bring the Linux
desktop to a whole new level of appearance and ease of use. I've installed
this on my main email/browsing/general machine and as far as I'm concerned
there's just no looking back. It's really a big step forward.

a/sysvinit-scripts-1.2-noarch-22.tgz: _Really_ quieted down rc.M's mime update
this time (it seems that errors are sent to stdout). Thanks to Robby Workman.
If we must update icon-cache files in rc.M (which is done only if they already
exist), background it so that it doesn't delay the boot as much.
In rc.S, only update the kernel version in /etc/motd if the file begins with
"Linux", leaving the rest of the file free to be customized.
Thanks to Pete Cervasio for the improved MOTD script.
Grab some information about the root partition from /proc/mounts to
initialize /etc/mtab. Thanks to Alan Hicks.

n/proftpd-1.3.1-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled against new OpenSSL, since this
evidently checks the OpenSSL version and will only run against the
libraries it was compiled against. A small patch was also added to
account for changes in the system includes.
Thanks to Martin Schmitz for the info and a pointer to the patch.

n/dnsmasq-2.45-i486-1.tgz:
Upgraded to dnsmasq-2.45.
It was discovered that earlier versions of dnsmasq have DNS cache
weaknesses that are similar to the ones recently discovered in BIND.
This new release minimizes the risk of cache poisoning.
For more information, see:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1447
(* Security fix *)
testing/packages/jdk-6u10_beta-i586-1.tgz: Added Java(TM) 2 Platform Standard
Edition Runtime Environment Version 6.0 update 10 beta. Evidently the
version 6.0 update 7 (stable) packages did not fix the CUPS printing issue,
but these beta packages should (but remember, they are BETA releases).
testing/packages/jre-6u10_beta-i586-1.tgz: Added Java(TM) 2 Platform Standard
Edition Development Kit Version 6.0 update 10 beta.
Both of these Java(TM) packages are suitable for use on Slackware 12.1 and
probably on earlier releases as well.
+--------------------------+
Mon Jul 21 11:15:47 CDT 2008
xap/mozilla-firefox-3.0.1-i686-1.tgz:
Upgraded to Firefox 3.0.1.
This fixes some security issues:
For more information, see:
http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox30.html
Also, thanks to Phillip Warner for providing a configuration fix to allow
mailto: links to open in Thunderbird (or other mailers). To use this, you
may need to copy /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1/defaults/profile/mimeTypes.rdf over
your own mimeTypes.rdf under $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/{something}.default,
or merge in the changes to your own mimeTypes.rdf.
( -current only )

l/jre-6u7-i586-1.tgz: Switched to Java(TM) 2 Platform Standard Edition Runtime
Environment Version 6.0 update 7. This non-beta stable release should fix
the printing issues with CUPS in the previous stable Java(TM) release.
extra/jdk-6/jdk-6u7-i586-1.tgz: Switched to Java(TM) 2 Platform Standard
Edition Development Kit Version 6.0 update 7.
Both of these Java(TM) packages are suitable for use on Slackware 12.1 and
probably on earlier releases as well.

Wed Jul 16 17:30:36 CDT 2008
a/ntfs-3g-1.2712-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to ntfs-3g-1.2712.
This has been compiled to use the internal FUSE library rather than the
system FUSE library. The benefit of this is that if /bin/ntfs-3g is make
setuid root, then non-root users can use it to mount NTFS partitions if
/etc/fstab allows it. Also, this version of ntfs-3g would require the CVS
version of external FUSE, so that helped make this an easy choice.
a/util-linux-ng-2.14-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to util-linux-ng-2.14.
x/mesa-7.0.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mesa-7.0.3.
We've had a few reports that this new mesa version fixes some instability
issues people were having with mesa-7.0.2. While it's not usually a good
idea to run -current packages on older Slackware versions, this mesa package
should be fully compatible with a patched-up Slackware 12.1 box. If mesa is
causing issues for you, it might be worth a try. At worst you'd have to go
back to the older package.
When we make changes to the libraries or toolchain that would make -current
break compatibility with Slackware 12.1, we will try to make note of it here.
However, we don't always know what side effects or regressions an update may
cause, but will do the best we can to offer a heads-up where possible.
xap/seamonkey-1.1.11-i486-1.tgz:
Upgraded to Seamonkey 1.1.11.
This release fixes some more security vulnerabilities.

n/bind-9.4.2_P1-i486-1.tgz:
Upgraded to bind-9.4.2-P1.
This upgrade addresses a security flaw known as the CERT VU#800113 DNS Cache
Poisoning Issue. This is the summary of the problem from the BIND site:
"A weakness in the DNS protocol may enable the poisoning of caching
recurive resolvers with spoofed data. DNSSEC is the only full solution.
New versions of BIND provide increased resilience to the attack."
It is suggested that sites that run BIND upgrade to one of the new packages
in order to reduce their exposure to DNS cache poisoning attacks.

slackware/l/jre-6u10_beta-i586-1.tgz: Upgraded to Java(TM) 2 Platform Standard
Edition Runtime Environment Version 6.0 update 10 beta. This is a BETA
VERSION and may contain problems, but it may also fix an issue with CUPS
printing. If this fix is important to you, it may be worth giving this
package a try at your own risk. For now, -current seems like the only prudent
place for this package. Hopefully we will see official 6u10 releases soon.

of RAID+LUKS+LVM works. Thanks to Eric Hameleers.
xap/rdesktop-1.6.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to rdesktop-1.6.0.
According to the rdesktop ChangeLog, this contains a:
"* Fix for potential vulnerability against compromised/malicious servers
(reported by iDefense)"
This package build also includes the new alsa driver (--with-sound=alsa),
though I couldn't get local sound redirection. Perhaps it was just my
command line error though, so the driver remains included for testing.

Slackware 12.1 is released as -stable. :-) Again, huge thanks to everybody
who pitched in and helped with bug reports, patches, testing, suggestions,
other comments, and everything else. Without this valuable input, Slackware
would be nowhere near what it is today. Special thanks to the CREW, to the
people developing and testing for slackbuilds.org (where many of Slackware's
future additions are first built and tested), and to everyone on
linuxquestions.org, various #slackware or ##slackware IRC channels, other
Slackware related web sites, and other places where the community shares their
needs and concerns with the team. On behalf of everyone here, thanks.
We think you'll enjoy this new release, and hope that you'll find it to be
much more than 0.1 better than Slackware 12.0. ;-)
Have fun! -P.
