slackware
Calendar Grey June 25, 2010
Dist Slackware Esm H88
Latest packages for Slackware address CSRF vulnerabilities and memory leaks, improving overall user security.
New cups packages are available for Slackware 13.1 and -current to fix security issues

Summary

Here are the details from the Slackware 13.1 ChangeLog: patches/packages/cups-1.4.4-i486-1_slack13.1.txz: Upgraded. Fixed a memory allocation error in texttops. Fixed a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) that could allow a remote attacker to reconfigure or disable CUPS if a CUPS admin logged into the web interface visited a specially-crafted website. Fixed a bug where uninitialized memory from the cupsd process could reveal sensitive information. For more information, see: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2010-0540 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2010-0542 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2010-1748 (* Security fix *)
