Slackware 15.0: 2024-089-04 Urgent Coreutils Security Patch Released
slackware
March 29, 2024
New coreutils packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to fix security issues
Summary
Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog: patches/packages/coreutils-9.5-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded. chmod -R now avoids a race where an attacker may replace a traversed file with a symlink, causing chmod to operate on an unintended file. [This bug was present in "the beginning".] split --line-bytes with a mixture of very long and short lines no longer overwrites the heap. For more information, see: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-0684 (* Security fix *)
