Name : xastir Product : Fedora 8 Version : 1.9.2 Release : 8.fc8 URL : http://www.xastir.org Summary : Amateur Station Tracking and Reporting system for amateur radio Description : Xastir is a graphical application that interfaces HAM radio and internet access to realtime mapping software. Install XASTIR if you are interested in APRS(tm) and HAM radio software. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Multiple insecure temporary file usage flaws were identified in the get- maptools.sh and get_shapelib.sh scripts shipped in xastir packages. As those scripts are not needed with Fedora-distributed xastir packages (they automate installation of libraries used by xastir, which are provided in the Fedora archive in the pre-packaged RPM format), they were removed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Thu Aug 28 2008 Lucian Langa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 1.9.2-8 - drop uneeded and potential risky files (bug #460429) * Thu Aug 28 2008 Lucian Langa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 1.9.2-7 - fix insecure auxiliary /tmp file usage bug #460429 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #460429 - xastir: Insecure auxiliary /tmp file usage (symlink attack possible) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=460429 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
