patches/packages/linux-5.15.161/*: Upgraded.
These updates fix regressions with the 5.15.160 packages.
Hopefully we do not get any new ones. :-)
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.
patches/packages/ca-certificates-20240615-noarch-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update provides the latest CA certificates to check for the
authenticity of SSL connections.
patches/packages/kernel-firmware-20240606_90df68d-noarch-1.txz: Upgraded.
Updated to the latest kernel firmware.
patches/packages/linux-5.15.160/*: Upgraded.
These updates fix a regression with the first 5.15.160 packages:
Subject: [PATCH] Revert "drm/amdgpu: init iommu after amdkfd device init"
This reverts commit 56b522f4668167096a50c39446d6263c96219f5f.
A user reported that this commit breaks the integrated gpu of his
notebook, causing a black screen. He was able to bisect the problematic
commit and verified that by reverting it the notebook works again.
He also confirmed that kernel 6.8.1 also works on his device, so the
upstream commit itself seems to be ok.
An amdgpu developer (Alex Deucher) confirmed that this patch should
have never been ported to 5.15 in the first place, so revert this
commit from the 5.15 stable series.
Thanks to fsLeg.

patches/packages/ntp-4.2.8p18-x86_64-2_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt.
This is a bugfix release to fix a possible regression. In some cases ntpd
gets an error on mixed ipv4/ipv6 networks, so we'll make it possible to
easily configure ntpd to use ipv4 only or ipv6 only (as well as to change
any other ntpd options).
rc.ntp: properly create the PID file on start.
Add /etc/default/ntp to configure ntpd startup options since some people are
needing to add -4 to avoid an error.
Thanks to rkelsen and teoberi.
patches/packages/mariadb-10.5.25-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes bugs and a security issue:
Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with
logon to the infrastructure where MariaDB Server executes to compromise the
server. This could result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access
to some of the data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of the
data and unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service.

patches/packages/git-2.39.4-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
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.

This is a bugfix release.
patches/packages/sg3_utils-1.47-x86_64-2_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt.
This is a bugfix release to fix a regression in rescan-scsi-bus.sh that
causes all SCSI devices to be removed from the system when the '-r'
option is used. Thanks to jwoithe for the link to the upstream patch.
patches/packages/freerdp-2.11.7-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.

patches/packages/glibc-2.33-x86_64-6_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt.
This update fixes a security issue:
The iconv() function in the GNU C Library versions 2.39 and older may
overflow the output buffer passed to it by up to 4 bytes when converting
strings to the ISO-2022-CN-EXT character set, which may be used to crash
an application or overwrite a neighbouring variable.

This is a bugfix release.
patches/packages/less-653-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update patches a security issue:
less through 653 allows OS command execution via a newline character in the
name of a file, because quoting is mishandled in filename.c. Exploitation
typically requires use with attacker-controlled file names, such as the files
extracted from an untrusted archive. Exploitation also requires the LESSOPEN
environment variable, but this is set by default in many common cases.

chmod -R now avoids a race where an attacker may replace a traversed file
with a symlink, causing chmod to operate on an unintended file.
[This bug was present in "the beginning".]

patches/packages/emacs-29.3-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
GNU Emacs through 28.2 allows attackers to execute commands via shell
metacharacters in the name of a source-code file, because lib-src/etags.c
uses the system C library function in its implementation of the ctags
program. For example, a victim may use the "ctags *" command (suggested in
the ctags documentation) in a situation where the current working directory
has contents that depend on untrusted input.

Fixes security issues:
A vulnerability was identified in the way Ghostscript/GhostPDL called

patches/packages/openjpeg-2.5.2-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
Fixed a regression in openjpeg-2.5.1:
API breakage / openjpeg version no longer detected (openjpeg.h no longer
includes opj_config.h).
patches/packages/wpa_supplicant-2.10-x86_64-2_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt.
Patched the implementation of PEAP in wpa_supplicant to prevent an
authentication bypass. For a successful attack, wpa_supplicant must be
configured to not verify the network's TLS certificate during Phase 1
authentication, and an eap_peap_decrypt vulnerability can then be abused
to skip Phase 2 authentication. The attack vector is sending an EAP-TLV
Success packet instead of starting Phase 2. This allows an adversary to
impersonate Enterprise Wi-Fi networks.

patches/packages/openjpeg-2.5.1-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
Fixed a heap-based buffer overflow in openjpeg in color.c:379:42 in
sycc420_to_rgb when decompressing a crafted .j2k file. An attacker could use
this to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the application
compiled against openjpeg.
