patches/packages/ghostscript-9.55.0-x86_64-2_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt.
Fixes security issues:
A vulnerability was identified in the way Ghostscript/GhostPDL called
tesseract for the OCR devices, which could allow arbitrary code execution.
Thanks to J_W for the heads-up.
Mishandling of permission validation for pipe devices could allow arbitrary
code execution.

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.

extra/sendmail/sendmail-8.18.1-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
sendmail through 8.17.2 allows SMTP smuggling in certain configurations.
Remote attackers can use a published exploitation technique to inject e-mail
messages with a spoofed MAIL FROM address, allowing bypass of an SPF
protection mechanism. This occurs because sendmail supports <LF>.<CR><LF>
but some other popular e-mail servers do not. This is resolved in 8.18 and
later versions with 'o' in srv_features.

These updates fix various bugs and security issues.
Thanks to jwoithe for the PCI fix!
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.

This package provides the latest timezone updates.
patches/packages/postfix-3.6.13-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
Security: this release adds support to defend against an email spoofing
attack (SMTP smuggling) on recipients at a Postfix server. Sites
concerned about SMTP smuggling attacks should enable this feature on
Internet-facing Postfix servers. For compatibility with non-standard
clients, Postfix by default excludes clients in mynetworks from this
countermeasure.
The recommended settings are:
# Optionally disconnect remote SMTP clients that send bare newlines,
# but allow local clients with non-standard SMTP implementations
# such as netcat, fax machines, or load balancer health checks.
#
smtpd_forbid_bare_newline = yes
smtpd_forbid_bare_newline_exclusions = $mynetworks
The smtpd_forbid_bare_newline feature is disabled by default.

patches/packages/samba-4.18.9-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This is a security release in order to address the following defect:
An information leak vulnerability was discovered in Samba's LDAP server.
Due to missing access control checks, an authenticated but unprivileged
attacker could discover the names and preserved attributes of deleted objects
in the LDAP store. Upgrading to this package will not prevent this
information leak - if you are using Samba as an Active Directory Domain
Controller, you will need to follow the instructions in the samba.org link
given below.

patches/packages/util-linux-2.37.4-x86_64-2_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt.
Copy /etc/pam.d/login to /etc/pam.d/remote. This is needed for /bin/login's
'-h' option, used (for example) by telnetd. If -h is used without
/etc/pam.d/remote, pam will not be configured properly, and /etc/securetty
will be ignored, possibly allowing root to login from a tty that is not
considered secure. Of course, the usual disclaimers about the security of
telnet/telnetd apply.

patches/packages/libcaca-0.99.beta20-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
Fixed a crash bug (a crafted file defining width of zero leads to divide by

I'd been meaning to get beta20 building so this was a good excuse.

This fixes a rare divide-by-zero bug that could cause vim to crash. In an

security issue, but since it was brought up as such on LQ we'll just go
along with it this time. :)
