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.

This is a bugfix release.
patches/packages/postfix-3.6.14-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
Security (inbound SMTP smuggling): with "smtpd_forbid_bare_newline
= normalize" (default "no" for Postfix < 3.9), the Postfix
SMTP server requires the standard End-of-DATA sequence
<CR><LF>.<CR><LF>, and otherwise allows command or message
content lines ending in the non-standard <LF>, processing
them as if the client sent the standard <CR><LF>.
The alternative setting, "smtpd_forbid_bare_newline = reject"
will reject any command or message that contains a bare
<LF>, and is more likely to cause problems with legitimate
clients.
For backwards compatibility, local clients are excluded by
default with "smtpd_forbid_bare_newline_exclusions =
$mynetworks".

patches/packages/kernel-firmware-20231222_a7dee43-noarch-1.txz: Upgraded.
Updated to the latest kernel firmware.
patches/packages/linux-5.15.145/*: Upgraded.
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/sudo-1.9.15p1-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This is a bugfix release:
Fixed a bug introduced in sudo 1.9.15 that prevented LDAP-based sudoers
from being able to read the ldap.conf file.
patches/packages/sudo-1.9.15-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
The sudoers plugin has been modified to make it more resilient to ROWHAMMER
attacks on authentication and policy matching.
The sudoers plugin now constructs the user time stamp file path name using
the user-ID instead of the user name. This avoids a potential problem with
user names that contain a path separator ('/') being interpreted as part of
the path name.

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.
Thanks to HytronBG and Petri Kaukasoina.
