-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] ntp (SSA:2009-154-01) New ntp packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 11.0, 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, and -current to fix security issues. More details about this issue may be found in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-0159 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-1252 Here are the details from the Slackware 12.2 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/ntp-4.2.4p7-i486-1_slack12.2.tgz: Upgraded to ntp-4.2.4p7. Stack-based buffer overflow in the cookedprint function in ntpq/ntpq.c in ntpq in NTP before 4.2.4p7-RC2 allows arbitrary code execution by a malicious remote NTP server. Stack-based buffer overflow in the crypto_recv function in ntp_crypto.c in ntpd in NTP before 4.2.4p7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. This does not affect the Slackware ntpd as it does not link with openssl. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-0159 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-1252 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Where to find the 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 (http://osuosl.org) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting to the Slackware project! :-) Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://slackware.com for additional mirror sites near you.
