Slackware 15.0: Urgent OpenSSL Security Patch Released on 2023-09-02

slackware
Calendar Grey March 21, 2022
Dist Slackware Esm H88
Fresh bind distributions for Slackware 15.0 launched, resolving earlier issues while prioritizing enhanced security protocols.
New bind packages are available for Slackware 15.0, since the previous patch mistakenly moved to a newer BIND branch

Summary

Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog: patches/packages/bind-9.16.27-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded. Sorry folks, I had not meant to bump BIND to the newer branch. I've moved the other packages into /testing. Thanks to Nobby6 for pointing this out. This update fixes bugs and the following security issues: A synchronous call to closehandle_cb() caused isc__nm_process_sock_buffer() to be called recursively, which in turn left TCP connections hanging in the CLOSE_WAIT state blocking indefinitely when out-of-order processing was disabled. The rules for acceptance of records into the cache have been tightened to prevent the possibility of poisoning if forwarders send records outside the configured bailiwick. For more information, see: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2022-0396 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2021-25220 (* Security fix *) testing/packages/bind-9.18.1-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Moved.
