Slackware alert SSA:2007-093-01 (file)
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] file [and bin package] (SSA:2007-093-01) New file packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 11.0, and -current to fix a security issue. NOTE: In Slackware 11.0 and earlier, the file utility was part of the required "bin" package, so this patch is needed even if your machine does not have a "file" package installed (which, if you're not running Slackware -current, it probably does not). More details about this issue may be found in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-1536 Here are the details from the Slackware 11.0 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/file-4.20-i486-1_slack11.0.tgz: Upgraded to file-4.20. This fixes a heap overflow that could allow code to be executed as the user running file (note that there are many scenarios where file might be used automatically, such as in virus scanners or spam filters). For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-1536 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Where to find the new packages: +-----------------------------+ HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com? Give slackware.osuosl.org a try. This is another primary FTP site for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading from ftp.slackware.com. Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab (http://osuosl.org) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting to the Slackware project! :-) Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://slackware.com for additional mirror sites near you.
