-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2009-3070 2009-03-26 14:35:08 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : pptp Product : Fedora 10 Version : 1.7.2 Release : 5.fc10 URL : http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ Summary : Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) Client Description : Client for the proprietary Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol, PPTP. Allows connection to a PPTP based VPN as used by employers and some cable and ADSL service providers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This update corrects the behaviour of pptpsetup when its --delete option is used, retaining the permissions of /etc/ppp/chap-secrets rather than creating a new file that is likely to be world-readable. If you have previously used the --delete option of pptpsetup, you should reset the permissions of /etc/ppp/chap- secrets to their default value of 0600 unless you have good reasons to use another value: # chmod 600 /etc/ppp/chap-secrets -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Wed Mar 25 2009 Paul Howarth <[email protected]> 1.7.2-5 - Retain permissions on /etc/ppp/chap-secrets when using pptpsetup (#492090) - Use upstream versions of patches - Re-enable parallel build; Makefile dependencies now fixed - Use perl rather than sed to edit Makefile, for spec compatibility with ancient distro releases * Thu Feb 26 2009 Fedora Release Engineering <[email protected]> - 1.7.2-4 - Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_11_Mass_Rebuild -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #492090 - passwords stored in world readable file https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=492090 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
