-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2011-8227 2011-06-14 09:53:36 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : libvoikko Product : Fedora 15 Version : 3.2.1 Release : 1.fc15 URL : http://voikko.sourceforge.net/ Summary : Voikko is a library for spellcheckers and hyphenators Description : This is libvoikko, library for spellcheckers and hyphenators using Malaga natural language grammar development tool. The library is written in C. Currently only Finnish is supported, but the API of the library has been designed to allow adding support for other languages later. Note however that Malaga is rather low level tool that requires implementing the whole morphology of a language as a left associative grammar. Therefore languages that have simple or even moderately complex morphologies and do not require morphological analysis in their hyphenators should be implemented using other tools such as Hunspell. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Backport a security fix from version 3.2.1: Fix handling of embedded null characters in input strings entered through the Python interface. The bug could be used to cause denial of service conditions and possibly other problems. Users of these interfaces are recommended to upgrade to this release. Applications that use the native C++ library directly (this includes all well known desktop applications) are not affected by this bug and no changes to the native library have been made in this release. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Sun Jun 12 2011 Ville-Pekka Vainio <vpivaini AT cs.helsinki.fi> - 3.2.1-1 - New upstream release - Fixes handling of embedded null characters in input strings entered through Python or Java interfaces. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program. Use su -c 'yum update libvoikko' at the command line. For more information, refer to "Managing Software with yum", available at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/.
