patches/packages/LibRaw-0.20.2-x86_64-4_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt.
This update fixes security issues:
A Buffer Overflow vulnerability was found in LibRaw_buffer_datastream::
gets(char*, int), which could lead to privilege escalation or application
crash.
A heap-buffer-overflow was found in raw2image_ex(int), which may lead to
application crash by maliciously crafted input file.

(* Security fix *)
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.

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
zero and a crash). Seems to be merely a bug rather than a security issue, but
I'd been meaning to get beta20 building so this was a good excuse.
Thanks to marav.

AMD microcode updated to fix a use-after-free in AMD Zen2 processors.
From Tavis Ormandy's annoucement of the issue:
"The practical result here is that you can spy on the registers of other
processes. No system calls or privileges are required.
It works across virtual machines and affects all operating systems.
I have written a poc for this issue that's fast enough to reconstruct
keys and passwords as users log in."

patches/packages/openssh-9.3p2-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes a security issue:
ssh-agent(1) in OpenSSH between and 5.5 and 9.3p1 (inclusive): remote code
execution relating to PKCS#11 providers.
The PKCS#11 support ssh-agent(1) could be abused to achieve remote code
execution via a forwarded agent socket if the following conditions are met:
* Exploitation requires the presence of specific libraries on the victim
system.
* Remote exploitation requires that the agent was forwarded to an
attacker-controlled system.
Exploitation can also be prevented by starting ssh-agent(1) with an empty
PKCS#11/FIDO allowlist (ssh-agent -P '') or by configuring an allowlist that
contains only specific provider libraries.
This vulnerability was discovered and demonstrated to be exploitable by the
Qualys Security Advisory team.
Potentially-incompatible changes:
* ssh-agent(8): the agent will now refuse requests to load PKCS#11 modules
issued by remote clients by default. A flag has been added to restore the
previous behaviour: "-Oallow-remote-pkcs11".

patches/packages/vim-9.0.1667-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This fixes a rare divide-by-zero bug that could cause vim to crash. In an
interactive program such as vim, I can't really see this qualifying as a
security issue, but since it was brought up as such on LQ we'll just go
along with it this time. :)
Thanks to marav for the heads-up.

patches/packages/linux-5.15.117/*: Upgraded.
We're going to back up one version to avoid an amdgpu regression in 5.15.118.
If you're already using 5.15.118 without issues, feel free to stick with it.
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.
