Bug#4332: Vulnerability in the Xt library (fwd)
On Thu, 29 Aug 1996, Marek Michalkiewicz wrote: Package: xlib Version: 3.1.2-7 It seems there is a buffer overrun in libXt, which may be a security hole (some programs using libXt, such as xterm, are setuid root). I haven't tried to exploit it, but xterm -fg very_long_string segfaults, so it might be exploitable (stack overwrite). See the attached message (which appeared on the bugtraq list) for a patch. I'm currently trying to clear some of Steve Early's backlog of X package bugs; this'll be among them (though it may be a while longer before the packages get converted to the new source format.) (S)
Unanswered problem reports by maintainer and package
The following problem reports have not yet been marked as `taken up' by a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or or `forwarded' by a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The maintainer listed against each package is derived from the Maintainer field of the package as found in the development tree; there is an override file that can be amended to get the right results if you have taken over a package and do not expect to issue a new version soon. Variant versions of the Maintainer field for the same actual package maintainer will be listed separately. Maintainers with few outstanding bugs appear first, to avoid those with few bugs being lost deep in the message.

Re: devel directory reorg? [reply to Lars]
Lars: The current devel can therefore be divided into two or three classes: Sounds good to me. Also currently in devel (but misplaced, I think): admin(?): boot-floppies boot-floppies is only of use to someone who is building a base system or a custom boot disk. Custom boot disks will be less necessary in 1.2 because it's _fully_ modular, using initfs to load modules before mounting the root. I think this still belongs in devel, unless we make some distribution developer's category that contains boot-floppies and dpkg-dev. Thanks Bruce
Re: Shared libraries and symbols
From: Michael Meskes [EMAIL PROTECTED] Can we strip shared libraries? Yes. There is a different symbol table for shared objects that you can print with nm --dynamic. Bruce
Re: /usr/local (again)
From: Stuart Lamble [EMAIL PROTECTED] Just a suggestion (and probably not a very good one): where a package needs to ask a question, perhaps it'd be appropriate to have a script postinst.questions (or some such) which can be run after all the other packages have been installed and configured? Another possibility would be to have a script that runs immediately when you select the package using dselect, before the package is unpacked, and squirrels away your input for later. Of course, we'd have to run it from dpkg if dselect was not used. Discussion, please? Thanks Bruce
Bug#4380: crippled anon ftp
On my system, installing wu-ftpd runs /usr/sbin/addftpuser, which puts the shared libraries in place and ls works. wu-ftpd has features not present in the normal ftp daemon. Some people like them, some don't. Most used feature is get directory-name.tar, which runs tar on a directory and retrieves the output. It can also gzip that tar before retrieving it. Bruce
Bug#4391: gzip -cd gives incorrect output
Package: gzip
Version: 1.2.4-11
Execute these commands on the gzip file attached:
gzip -cd a.gz
gunzip a.gz; cat a
The output of the former is clearly incorrect. Note that
if the output is redirected or piped then the errors
disappear. This occurs in both xterms and virtual consoles.

I can't seem to duplicate your problem. Note that if the output is redirected or piped then the errors disappear. This occurs in both xterms and virtual consoles. I played various games with and without redirection. I don't see any obvious differences between the output of 'gzip -cd a.gz' in an xterm using ctrl/s to stop the flow, and a cat of the previously uncompressed file. Can you cutpaste the output of the above two command strings to a file and mail it to me, or something, so I can see what you're seeing? I'd also suggest you verify the md5sum of /bin/gzip: a10f552f8e26d5c23e61a6a5415e3427 /bin/gzip Bdale

What happens is that the first page is displayed over and over again.
The effect should be obvious if you are able to reproduce it.
Some more info about my system:
kernel: 2.0.13
libc5: 5.2.18-10
I've tried this on a 1.2.8 machine with the same gzip and it doesn't
happen. Although the problem exists for 2.0.12 on an alpha. And gzip
on SunOS 5.5 doesn't have this problem.
So which kernel did you use?

Stable non-free and contrib (was: Bug#4378: incomplete Packages files and incomplete distributions)
Guy Maor: There are prominent notices in both the contrib and non-free directories that software contained there is not an official part of Debian. Once or twice I've said that it is not discriminatory to place a package in non-free or contrib. The quoted sentence makes me I think I have been mistaken. Sorry. It doesn't change my opinion, however, of what goes where in the distribution. I wouldn't mind having stable versions of contrib and non-free, but I'll leave the decisions to those who are willing to do the work. I don't have time right now, or I'd offer to write it. Is this the offical Debian slogan?? Sounds better than put up or shut up, doesn't it? :-) -- Please read http://www.iki.fi/liw/mail-to-lasu.html before mailing me.

Bug#4394: dselect does not appear to look for updates when access method is floppy
Package: dpkg Version: 1.2.14elf When using dselect with access method=floppy and filesystem=msdos, and after updating to the latest Packages file (Debian 1.1.8), a number of packages were selected as requiring updating/upgrading. Going on to attempt to Install these packages gave the message that all packages were up to date. If the access method was changed to a mounted filesystem and the Install attempted again (and after copying the relevant .deb files to the mounted filesystem) then a dpkg command is echoed (something like dpkg -iGROEB) and the relevant updated packages are found and updated. It looks like this dpkg -iGROEB is not being issued when dselect is using access method=floppy and filesystem=msdos?

It's a big project, of course, and not something that should be undertaken lightly. I know that the Linux kernel has already solved that problem with their configuration setup programs -- they have three interfaces (text-based, curses based, and Tcl/Tk based) running off the same script, to generate the configuraton file. It also allows you to edit the configuration using the same tools, by reading and parsing its own output. It also allows the definition of arbitrary complex things and has the ability to handle interactions between items. Could this be adapted for our needs? It might not be perfect, but it -is- a start. Some modifications I could see being necessary would be to create a way of handling separate config scripts for each package that need them, and a few other minor issues. Getting answers to these questions before unpacking anything would probably be a good idea. This is useful for global options (what to do with /usr/local, for instance), but what about package-related options?

Bug#4399: kpathsea
Maintainer: Nils Rennebarth [EMAIL PROTECTED] Version: 2.6-2 Provides: kpathsea Whenever I run dvips or xdvi I get a long list of Errors which show MakeTeXPK trying to create fonts that already exist. I'm really not sure if this is kpathsea's fault, but it is the one running MakeTeXPK. I guess it has some way of looking to see if the fonts exist or not, and this is not being done?

Bug#4391: gzip -cd gives incorrect output
What happens is that the first page is displayed over and over again. The effect should be obvious if you are able to reproduce it. Aha. Nothing like that here. Some more info about my system: kernel: 2.0.13 libc5: 5.2.18-10 I've tried this on a 1.2.8 machine with the same gzip and it doesn't happen. Although the problem exists for 2.0.12 on an alpha. And gzip on SunOS 5.5 doesn't have this problem. So which kernel did you use? Kernel is 2.0.6, libc5 is 5.2.18-9. From what you say and what I've seen, this sounds like it's not a gzip problem to me... Bdale

herbertAs the subject says, xfishtank dumps core at 16 bpp. It
herbertworks fine at 8 bpp, at least on my machine.
