Johnson" <johnsonmat_private> To: linux-announceat_private Cc: linux-securityat_private Subject: [linux-security] SECURITY: procps 1.2.7 fixes security hole A file creation and corruption bug in XConsole included in procps-X11 versions 1.2.6 and earlier has been found. To fix it, you can either remove the XConsole program or upgrade to procps-1.2.7, available from ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/sources/usr.bin/procps-1.2.7.tar.gz Thanks to Alan Iwi for finding the bug. A few other bugs have been fixed in this version. Read the NEWS file if you care. If you are trying to build it by hand from the sources and you have trouble, Read the INSTALL file. Really. Read it twice. It answers EVERY question about building that I have EVER received. If you have Red Hat Linux or another RPM-based distribution, libc5-based RPM packages are available from ftp://ftp.redhat.com/updates/4.2/ and glibc-based RPM packages are available from ftp://ftp.redhat.com/updates/5.0/ Fuller upgrade instructions for Red Hat Linux users have been given in a separate post to redhat-announce-listat_private michaelkjohnson "Magazines all too frequently lead to books and should be regarded by the prudent as the heavy petting of literature." -- Fran Lebowitz Linux Application Development http://www.redhat.com/~johnsonm/lad/ -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Please refer to the information about this list as well as general information about Linux security at http://www.aoy.com/Linux/Security. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe: mail -s unsubscribe test-list-requestat_private < /dev/null
