New multilib glibc packages. - security fix from Alien.


I've just saw on Alien's Pasture:

http://alien.slackbook.org/blog/new-...cal-root-hole/

Packages are ready for Slackware-current. For slackware 13.0 and 13.1 packages will be available soon.

Thx Eric

I saw that too. The updated glibc packages for the "normal" installations are available from your standard mirrors. I don't know why a message hasn't hit the security list just yet. I updated my 32bit box, but am waiting for the new multilib packages before upgrading my 64bit box.

Anyone know if you should reboot after upgrading glibc? I did on my 32bit box because I was too impatient to wait for an answer

Thanks for the info.
Is there any specific steps or order to follow to update the packages?

Last time I messed around with these packages, I managed to corrupt the system (my fault surely but still the result is the same)

I'm going to drop out of X, and go to runlevel 1 ("init 1") before upgrading.
May or may not be necessary in this case, but should be safest.

...and then I rebooted for good measure. All seems well.

went to init 1, used upgradepkg -- reinstall and rebooted and everything seems to still be working

Thanks Alien/Eric for the packages

Updated glibc packages for multilib Slackware64 releases 13.0 and 13.1 are now also available (http://slackware.com/~alien/multilib/ or http://taper.alienbase.nl/mirrors/pe...lien/multilib/).
You can again relaxen und watchen das blinkenlighten.

If I understood well the new Tavis Ormandy bulletin, looks like there's no peace

let's hope next week won't be another one. (btw, tnx Tavis!)

just noticed now that Tavis point to this upstream patch that addresses the bug above in Twitter
