This update fixes possible denial-of-service security issues:
A file in PKCS12 format can contain certificates and keys and may come from
an untrusted source. The PKCS12 specification allows certain fields to be
NULL, but OpenSSL did not correctly check for this case. A fix has been
applied to prevent a NULL pointer dereference that results in OpenSSL
crashing. If an application processes PKCS12 files from an untrusted source
using the OpenSSL APIs then that application will be vulnerable to this
issue prior to this fix.
OpenSSL APIs that were vulnerable to this are: PKCS12_parse(),
PKCS12_unpack_p7data(), PKCS12_unpack_p7encdata(), PKCS12_unpack_authsafes()
and PKCS12_newpass().
When function EVP_PKEY_public_check() is called on RSA public keys,
a computation is done to confirm that the RSA modulus, n, is composite.
For valid RSA keys, n is a product of two or more large primes and this
computation completes quickly. However, if n is an overly large prime,
then this computation would take a long time.
An application that calls EVP_PKEY_public_check() and supplies an RSA key
obtained from an untrusted source could be vulnerable to a Denial of Service
attack.
The function EVP_PKEY_public_check() is not called from other OpenSSL
functions however it is called from the OpenSSL pkey command line
application. For that reason that application is also vulnerable if used
with the "-pubin" and "-check" options on untrusted data.
To resolve this issue RSA keys larger than OPENSSL_RSA_MAX_MODULUS_BITS will
now fail the check immediately with an RSA_R_MODULUS_TOO_LARGE error reason.
Fix excessive time spent in DH check / generation with large Q parameter
value.
Applications that use the functions DH_generate_key() to generate an
X9.42 DH key may experience long delays. Likewise, applications that use
DH_check_pub_key(), DH_check_pub_key_ex() or EVP_PKEY_public_check()
to check an X9.42 DH key or X9.42 DH parameters may experience long delays.
Where the key or parameters that are being checked have been obtained from
an untrusted source this may lead to a Denial of Service.

a/sysvinit-2.90-x86_64-2.txz: Rebuilt.
sysvinit-2.90 added an undocumented feature that tries to spawn agetty
if it sees console= in the kernel command line. Avoiding the debate about
whether this code belongs in init at all, at least such a change should
be documented, and probably made opt-in. This patch disables the new
behavior unless "sysvinit_agetty" is also seen in the kernel command line.
It seems like this might have been something added for Hurd, and it might
be wise to stick to what we've got rather than following upstream on this
particular package. If anyone notices any other odd behavior, please let
me know. Thanks to shastah.
a/sysvinit-scripts-2.1-noarch-19.txz: Rebuilt.
When checking for intel_pstate, direct the stderr to /dev/null in case

Slackware 14.2 x86_64 stable is released!
The long development cycle (the Linux community has lately been living in
"interesting times", as they say) is finally behind us, and we're proud to
announce the release of Slackware 14.2. The new release brings many updates
and modern tools, has switched from udev to eudev (no systemd), and adds
well over a hundred new packages to the system. Thanks to the team, the
upstream developers, the dedicated Slackware community, and everyone else
who pitched in to help make this release a reality.
The ISOs are off to be replicated, a 6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided
32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD. Please consider supporting the Slackware
project by picking up a copy from store.slackware.com. We're taking
pre-orders now, and offer a discount if you sign up for a subscription.
Have fun! :-)
