d/llvm-3.3-i486-3.txz: Rebuilt.
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 *)
d/ruby-1.9.3_p484-i486-1.txz: Upgraded.
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.

l/cairo-1.12.16-i486-1.txz: Upgraded.
Removed --enable-xcb-shm (may cause instability with GTK+3).
Removed --enable-xlib-xcb (causes GIMP slowdown).
Added --enable-ft and --enable-gl.
If there are no problems reported with this update, perhaps it should be
issued as a 14.1 bugfix?
l/libiodbc-3.52.8-i486-1.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes an rpath pointing to a location in /tmp that was found in
two test programs (iodbctest and iodbctestw). 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 *)
l/libjpeg-v8a-i486-2.txz: Rebuilt.
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.
