------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Debian Project http://www.debian.org/ Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 updated (r2) [EMAIL PROTECTED] April 1xth, 2006 http://www.debian.org/News/2006/2006041x ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 updated (r2) This is the second update of Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 (codename `sarge') which mainly adds security updates to the stable release, along with a few corrections to serious problems. Those who frequently update from security.debian.org won't have to update many packages and most updates from security.debian.org are included in this update. Please note that this update does not produce a new version of Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 but only adds a few updated packages to it. There is no need to throw away 3.1 CDs but only to update against ftp.debian.org after an installation, in order to incorporate those late changes. Upgrading to this revision online is usually done by pointing the `apt' package tool (see the sources.list(5) manual page) to one of Debian's many FTP or HTTP mirrors. A comprehensive list of mirrors is available at: <http://www.debian.org/distrib/ftplist> Notable Changes --------------- Sudo has been changed to not propagate all environment variables to subsequent programs to avoid security risks. This change might affect software that uses sudo. Please see /usr/share/doc/sudo/README.Debian for more details. Miscellaneous Bugfixes ---------------------- This revision adds important corrections to the following packages. Most of them don't affect the security of the system, but may affect data integrity. affix-kernel Fix build failures with sarge's kernel backuppc Fix possible backup archive corruption and possible data loss when changing the configuration file cernlib License problems, repackaged cyrus-imapd Don't remove mail data on package purge cyrus21-imapd Note cyrus-imapd data loss on package purge in upgrade documentation evms Fix address stack corruption leading to possible data loss when activating degraded RAID-5 volumes exim4 Fix mail delivery problems to hosts with AAAA DNS records and unbalanced DNS f-prot-installer Adjusted to work with recent releases fai Fix setup of lo device, replaced hardcoded name of debian distribution in fai-cd, add missing packages when calling fai-mirror glibc Update timezone data, fix NPTL for x86_64 (amd64) leafnode Fix security issue (CVE 2005-1911) libchipcard Don't remove user account on package purge mutt Fix possible attachments data loss perl Fix problem with utf-8/taint interaction Fix possible malloc-to-death bug, #227621 rssh Fix security issue (CVE-2005-3345) slune Adjust to security fix in py2play, #326976 sodipodi Fix segfaults on 64-bit architectures tar Fix inability to work with remote devices on non-i386, #356657 Security Updates ---------------- This revision adds the following security updates to the stable release. The Security Team has already released an advisory for each of these updates. The security fixes of the kernel have been delayed to the next point release due to constraints with the installer, please update the kernel images from security.debian.org.
