Slackware64-current ChangeLog

ChangeLog for: 2012-08-16 05:01:31

Getting close!  Hopefully we've cleared out most of the remaining issues
and are nearly ready here.  We'll call this release candidate 2.
Unless there's a very good rationale, versions are frozen.
Any reports of remaining bugs will be gladly taken, though.

e/emacs-24.1-x86_64-6.txz:  Rebuilt.
  Patched to fix a security flaw in the file-local variables code.
  When the Emacs user option `enable-local-variables' is set to `:safe'
  (the default value is t), Emacs should automatically refuse to evaluate
  `eval' forms in file-local variable sections.  Due to the bug, Emacs
  instead automatically evaluates such `eval' forms.  Thus, if the user
  changes the value of `enable-local-variables' to `:safe', visiting a
  malicious file can cause automatic execution of arbitrary Emacs Lisp
  code with the permissions of the user.  Bug discovered by Paul Ling.

  (* Security fix *)
n/NetworkManager-0.9.4.0-x86_64-2.txz:  Rebuilt.
  Patched to fix nmcli.  Thanks to parcox on LQ.
n/gnutls-3.0.22-x86_64-1.txz:  Upgraded.
n/network-scripts-14.00-noarch-3.txz:  Rebuilt.
  In rc.inet2, run rc.yp rather than sourcing it.

  Fixed scripts to use /usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}/yp.
  Thanks to Niki Kovacs.
  Switched to a new rc.yp script supporting start|stop|restart.
  If there's an existing script, it will be installed as a .new with the same
  permissions as the existing rc.yp, which had defaulted to executable since
  without editing it did nothing.  Unless you plan to use YP, be aware that
  moving the new script into place with 755 perms will cause a line of
  (harmless) noise telling you that YP has not configured yet.
  Thanks to Jonathan Woithe.
