This could have allowed a \\ local attacker with write access to /tmp to add modified libraries (and \\ execute arbitrary code) as any user running the test programs. \\ Thanks to Christopher Oliver for the bug report. \\ (* Security fix *) * [[slackware.14.0>patches/packages/ruby-1.9.3_p484-i486-1_slack14.0.txz]] \\ This update fixes a heap overflow in floating point parsing. A specially \\ crafted string could cause a heap overflow leading to a denial of service \\ attack via segmentation faults and possibly arbitrary code execution. \\ For more information, see: \\ https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2013/11/22/heap-overflow-in-floating-point-parsing-cve-2013-4164/ \\ http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-4164 \\ (* Security fix *) * [[slackware.14.0>patches/packages/seamonkey-2.23-i486-1_slack14.0.txz]] \\ This update contains security fixes and improvements. \\ For more information, see: \\ http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/seamonkey.html \\ (* Security fix *) * [[slackware.14.0>patches/packages/seamonkey-solibs-2.23-i486-1_slack14.0.txz]] ==== Rebuilt ==== * [[slackware.14.0>patches/packages/libjpeg-v8a-i486-2_slack14.0.txz]] \\ Fix use of uninitialized memory when decoding images with missing SOS data \\ for the luminance component (Y) in presence of valid chroma data (Cr, Cb). \\ This could allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from \\ uninitialized memory locations via a crafted JPEG image. \\ For more information, see: \\ http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-6629 \\ (* Security fix *) * [[slackware.14.0>patches/packages/llvm-3.0-i486-3_slack14.0.txz]] \\ The LLVM package included binaries with an rpath pointing to the build \\ location in /tmp. This allows an attacker with write access to /tmp to \\ add modified libraries (and execute arbitrary code) as any user running \\ the LLVM binaries. This updated package rebuilds LLVM to exclude the \\ build directories from the rpath information. \\ Thanks to Christopher Oliver for the bug report. \\ (* Security fix *) {{tag>slackware changelog slackware-14.0 2013-12}} news/2013/12/16/slackware-14.0-changelog.txt Last modified: 8 months agoby Giuseppe Di Terlizzi Log In
