slackware
July 29, 2008
New net-snmp packages are available for Slackware 12.0, 12.1, and -current to fix security issues
Summary
Here are the details from the Slackware 12.1 ChangeLog: patches/packages/net-snmp-5.4.1.2-i486-1_slack12.1.tgz: Upgraded to net-snmp-5.4.1.2. A vulnerability was discovered where an attacked could spoof an authenticated SNMPv3 packet due to incorrect HMAC checking. Also, a buffer overflow was found that could be exploited if an application using the net-snmp perl modules connects to a malicious server. For more information, see: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2008-0960 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2008-2292 (* 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.
