This update fixes security issues:
A large number of address headers in email resulted in excessive CPU usage.
Abnormally large email headers are now truncated or discarded, with a limit
of 10MB on a single header and 50MB for all the headers of all the parts of
an email.

This update fixes security issues:
Recursive clones on case-insensitive filesystems that support symbolic
links are susceptible to case confusion that can be exploited to
execute just-cloned code during the clone operation.
Repositories can be configured to execute arbitrary code during local
clones. To address this, the ownership checks introduced in v2.30.3
are now extended to cover cloning local repositories.
Local clones may end up hardlinking files into the target repository's
object database when source and target repository reside on the same
disk. If the source repository is owned by a different user, then
those hardlinked files may be rewritten at any point in time by the
untrusted user.
When cloning a local source repository that contains symlinks via the
filesystem, Git may create hardlinks to arbitrary user-readable files
on the same filesystem as the target repository in the objects/
directory.
It is supposed to be safe to clone untrusted repositories, even those
unpacked from zip archives or tarballs originating from untrusted
sources, but Git can be tricked to run arbitrary code as part of the
clone.

causes excessive CPU usage to decode HPACK stream. nghttp2 v1.61.0 mitigates
this vulnerability by limiting the number of CONTINUATION frames it can
accept after a HEADERS frame.

We've gone ahead and moved the 6.6 kernel into the main tree. As previously
mentioned when this branch first appeared in /testing, on the 32-bit side
there are no longer any -smp labeled kernel packages, so if you were using
those previously, you'll need to switch to using to kernel-generic or
kernel-huge kernel, including the changes needed to your bootloader setup to
load this instead of the -smp labeled kernel. Also, if you happen to be using
a first generation Pentium M chip, you will need to append forcepae to your
kernel command-line options. Enjoy! :-)

We have fresh 6.6 kernels in /testing! You may notice that on the 32-bit side
we have done away with the -smp labeled kernel packages, but it's actually the
other kernels that were retired -- the non-SMP, non-PAE ones. If you were
previously using kernel-generic-smp or kernel-huge-smp, you'll need to make
some adjustments to your bootloader setup to load kernel-generic or kernel-huge
instead. About the only non-obsolete CPUs that may have an issue with this are
the first generation Pentium M chips, which supported PAE but unfortunately did
not advertise this in the CPU flags. But these will support PAE if the kernel
option "forcepae" is appended at boot time. Enjoy! :-)

Hey folks, if you've been following LQ you know I've talked before about
dropping the huge kernel and moving the distribution to use only the generic
kernel plus an initrd. After mulling this over for a few months, I think I
was looking at the problem in the wrong way. First of all, it's clear that
some Slackware users have been using the huge kernel all along, without an
initrd, and are (to say the least) unhappy about the prospect of a new
requirement to start using one. I've been recommending the generic kernel for
some time, and a major reason is that we've been using the same set of kernel
modules with two slightly different kernels. Because of this, there have
always been a few (generally seldom used) kernel modules that won't load into
the huge kernel. These are things that aren't built into the huge kernel, but
because of a difference in some kernel module dependency, they won't load.
The conclusion that I've come to here is that rather than drop the huge
kernel, or slap a LOCALVERSION on it and provide a whole duplicate tree of
kernel modules especially for the huge kernel, it would be better to make the
generic kernel more huge, and minimize the differences between the two kernel
configs.
That's what I've done here.
Shown below are the differences between the previous generic kernel config
and the one shipping in this update. You'll notice that most of the popular
filesystems are built in. At this point the main difference it that the huge
kernel has a couple of dozen SCSI drivers built into it. The modules for those
drivers won't load into the huge kernel, but they're fully built in so that
doesn't matter. If you find any other modules that will not load into the huge
kernel, please make a note about it on LQ and I'll see what can be done.
So, tl;dr - what does this change mean?
Unless your root device is on SCSI, if you were able to use the huge kernel
without an initrd previously, you should now be able to use the generic
kernel without an initrd. The kernel is a bit bigger, but we probably have
enough RAM these days that it won't make a difference.
Enjoy! :-)
