Hey folks, we got a new glibc and are beginning the process of baking the new
default compile flags into the toolchain, the graphics stack, and whatever else
happens along. Enjoy! :-)

Remove SIG(0) support from named as a countermeasure for CVE-2024-1975.
qctx-zversion was not being cleared when it should have been leading to
an assertion failure if it needed to be reused.
An excessively large number of rrtypes per owner can slow down database query
processing, so a limit has been placed on the number of rrtypes that can be
stored per owner (node) in a cache or zone database. This is configured with
the new "max-rrtypes-per-name" option, and defaults to 100.
Excessively large rdatasets can slow down database query processing, so a
limit has been placed on the number of records that can be stored per
rdataset in a cache or zone database. This is configured with the new
"max-records-per-type" option, and defaults to 100.
Malicious DNS client that sends many queries over TCP but never reads
responses can cause server to respond slowly or not respond at all for other
clients.

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 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.

Moved shared library into /lib{,64} to avoid problems when /usr is on a
separate partition. Thanks to TommyC7.
But please note: that has never been a recommended configuration (it was
always a bad idea prone to corner-case bugs), and with basically everyone
else moving everything into /usr, no upstream is developing with this
scenario in mind these days. Some of the problems caused by separate /usr
are simply not possibly to fix in a straightforward fashion. Consider it a
completely unsupported configuration choice. While it's not my style to
make the installer refuse to allow it, I won't be bending over backwards
to try to fix bugs related to this in the future. If I recall properly,
the original rationale was to make it possible for /usr to reside on a
shared network partition, which might have made sense back when 40MB was
a typical hard drive size. I can think of no good rationale now (and no,
I don't think making /usr read-only helps security in any tangible way).
