Fedora updates
[Posted June 30, 2004 by ris]
Updates for Fedora Core 2:
- Sysstat had minor buffer overflows
and parsing problems. None of them in any way exploitable it turns
out. Sysstat also spewed junk to the console on startup.
- Finger mishandled stale utmp entries
and also entries from remote X sessions. This would cause random idle
times and spurious users to be shown.
- The ftp client would segmentation
fault in certain situations when the remote server closed the connection
on it in an unexpected fashion.
- This im-sdk update hides the status
window when the input method is off and also fixes a number of other
issues.
- An updated jcode.pl package has been
released to fix the wrong install path so that it was not usable except
on x86-64 architecture.

the dvdrtools packages. It includes a stub for dvdrecord and its man
page, which mentions that it is obsoleted.
- Another update to cdrtools.

problem in the latest xinitrc (which links to the openmotif libraries).

when an invalid option is specified. This updated package fixes the
problem.

#124307 "missing help files" by spitting out a slightly more informative
error message if gimp-help isn't installed.
- The gimp-gap package has been updated
to version 2.0.2 which has enhancements and bugfixes.

issue caused by the previous xinitrc package update in which some users
