Thanks to Heinz Wiesinger for these added python packages to implement
PEP 427 and PEP 517! Python modules are phasing out setup.py in favor of
building wheels, and then using python-installer to install them. These
are the bits needed to make that happen.

From Tavis Ormandy's annoucement of the issue:
"The practical result here is that you can spy on the registers of other
processes. No system calls or privileges are required.
It works across virtual machines and affects all operating systems.
I have written a poc for this issue that's fast enough to reconstruct
keys and passwords as users log in."

n/openssh-9.3p2-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes a security issue:
ssh-agent(1) in OpenSSH between and 5.5 and 9.3p1 (inclusive): remote code
execution relating to PKCS#11 providers.
The PKCS#11 support ssh-agent(1) could be abused to achieve remote code
execution via a forwarded agent socket if the following conditions are met:
* Exploitation requires the presence of specific libraries on the victim
system.
* Remote exploitation requires that the agent was forwarded to an
attacker-controlled system.
Exploitation can also be prevented by starting ssh-agent(1) with an empty
PKCS#11/FIDO allowlist (ssh-agent -P '') or by configuring an allowlist that
contains only specific provider libraries.
This vulnerability was discovered and demonstrated to be exploitable by the
Qualys Security Advisory team.
Potentially-incompatible changes:
* ssh-agent(8): the agent will now refuse requests to load PKCS#11 modules
issued by remote clients by default. A flag has been added to restore the
previous behaviour: "-Oallow-remote-pkcs11".

n/samba-4.18.5-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes security issues:
When winbind is used for NTLM authentication, a maliciously crafted request
can trigger an out-of-bounds read in winbind and possibly crash it.
SMB2 packet signing is not enforced if an admin configured
"server signing = required" or for SMB2 connections to Domain Controllers
where SMB2 packet signing is mandatory.
An infinite loop bug in Samba's mdssvc RPC service for Spotlight can be
triggered by an unauthenticated attacker by issuing a malformed RPC request.
Missing type validation in Samba's mdssvc RPC service for Spotlight can be
used by an unauthenticated attacker to trigger a process crash in a shared
RPC mdssvc worker process.
As part of the Spotlight protocol Samba discloses the server-side absolute
path of shares and files and directories in search results.

OK, usually I won't use rc versions even in -current, but in this case I'm
going to. Some time ago my desktop machine with RS880 / Radeon HD 4290
graphics on the motherboard began acting up with the screen going black
for a few seconds before returning. This after an hour or so of uptime,
usually, then becoming more frequent with more uptime. Eventually I'd lose
mouse and/or keyboard too, and have to reboot. Here's a couple of errors
from dmesg:
[ 9942.677675] [drm:r600_ib_test [radeon]] *ERROR* radeon: fence wait
timed out.
[ 9942.677741] [drm:radeon_ib_ring_tests [radeon]] *ERROR* radeon: failed
testing IB on GFX ring (-110).
I also noticed that the backtrace started with ttm_bo_release, and seeing
this in recent kernel patches had been chalking this up to a kernel bug.
I *still* think it could be, and there are a bunch of kernel patches coming
soon to -stable from Alex Deucher that could address the underlying causes
(not for 6.1.39 though, unfortunately). Anyway, I'd recently figured out
that reverting Mesa sufficiently made the issue go away. And now it seems
this 23.2.0 release candidate also fixes the issue.
Yes, I could go search for the commits to cherry-pick, but we'll be moving
to mesa-23.2.0 when it's released, so we might as well start testing now.

here. It's really been a remarkable journey that I couldn't have anticipated
starting out back in 1993. Cheers! :-)
