An attacker who \\ obtains 580 bytes from the standard RNG can trivially predict the next \\ 20 bytes of output. (This is according to the NEWS file included in the \\ source. According to the annoucement linked below, an attacker who obtains \\ 4640 bits from the RNG can trivially predict the next 160 bits of output.) \\ Problem detected by Felix Doerre and Vladimir Klebanov, KIT. \\ For more information, see: \\ https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-announce/2016q3/000395.html \\ http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2016-6313 \\ (* Security fix *) * [[slackware64.14.2>patches/packages/libgcrypt-1.7.3-x86_64-1_slack14.2.txz]] \\ Fix critical security bug in the RNG [CVE-2016-6313].

This may allow an attacker located on different subnet to inject \\ or take over a TCP connection between a server and client without having to \\ be a traditional Man In the Middle (MITM) style attack. \\ Be sure to upgrade your initrd after upgrading the kernel packages. \\ If you use lilo to boot your machine, be sure lilo.conf points to the correct \\ kernel and initrd and run lilo as root to update the bootloader. \\ If you use elilo to boot your machine, you should run eliloconfig to copy the \\ kernel and initrd to the EFI System Partition. \\ For more information, see: \\ http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2016-5389 \\ (* Security fix *) ==== Rebuilt ==== * [[slackware64.14.2>patches/packages/glib2-2.46.2-x86_64-3_slack14.2.txz]] \\ Applied upstream patch to fix a use-before-allocate bug in libgio. Without \\ this fix, Thunar will crash if $HOME is on an NFS volume. \\ Thanks to Jonathan Woithe. * [[slackware64.14.2>patches/packages/screen-4.4.0-x86_64-2_slack14.2.txz]] \\ Reverted a change to /etc/screenrc.new that prevented the console from being \\ cleared when a screen session was detached. Thanks to Stuart Winter. * [[slackware64.14.2>patches/packages/stunnel-5.35-x86_64-2_slack14.2.txz]] \\ Fixed incorrect config file name in generate-stunnel-key.sh. \\ Thanks to Ebben Aries. {{tag>slackware changelog slackware64-14.2 2016-08}} news/2016/08/23/slackware64-14.2-changelog.txt Last modified: 7 months agoby Giuseppe Di Terlizzi Log In
