Slackware 12.0: 2008-111-01 High: Xine-Lib Buffer Overflow
slackware
April 22, 2008
New xine-lib packages are available for Slackware 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 11.0, 12.0, and -current to fix security issues
Summary
Here are the details from the Slackware 12.0 ChangeLog: patches/packages/xine-lib-1.1.11.1-i686-3_slack12.0.tgz: Recompiled, with --without-speex (we didn't ship the speex library in Slackware anyway, but for reference this issue would be CVE-2008-1686), and with --disable-nosefart (the recently reported as insecurely demuxed NSF format). As before in -2, this package fixes the two regressions mentioned in the release notes for xine-lib-1.1.12: ;group_id=9655 (* Security fix *)
Where Find New Packages
HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com?
Give slackware.osuosl.org a try. This is another primary FTP site
for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading
directly from ftp.slackware.com.
Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab
(https://osuosl.org/) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting
to the Slackware project! :-)
Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://www.slackware.com/ for
additional mirror sites near you.
