[gentoo-user] Local root exploit (not?) working...
Hi Gentoo-users, have you noticed the latest local priviledge escalation exploit? http://packetstormsecurity.com/files/121616/semtex.c Actually, it does not (?) work on my box even with PERF_EVENTS, but when I compile run it (as non-root user), my system is instantly restarted. So it seems that gentoo-sources 3.7.10-r1 are at least partially affected. I hope to see fix soon! Jarry -- ___ This mailbox accepts e-mails only from selected mailing-lists!

[gentoo-user] Font problems on new install
A new install 64-bit Dell. I noted all the font files in my old machine's /var/lib/world file and installed them on the new machine. Notwithstanding that I had mysterious problems. One of the icons on my ICEWM toolbar launches the command... xterm -bg black -fg cyan -geometry 80x58 -fn lucidasanstypewriter-12 I got error messages about not being able to find the font, notwithstanding that I have both media-fonts/font-bh-lucidatypewriter-100dpi and media-fonts/font-bh-lucidatypewriter-75dpi installed. This had 3 unpleasant side-effects... 1) xterm went to a smallish default font that was rather hard to read 2) I figured no problem; I'll go {CTRL-RIGHTCLICK} and select a larger font. However, as soon as I did that, the xterm shut down! 3) xfreecell wouldn't start due to a font-not-found error. Now it's getting really serious. After a bunch of futile screwing around including a reprise of my http://www.mail-archive.com/gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org/msg123858.html I exited X and performed a font transplant. I.e. I renamed /usr/share/fonts and copied over the /usr/share/fonts directory from the older machine. And it works beautifully. I've backed up the directory to a tarball on USB stick, just in case. And I will be monitoring any updates with an eagle eye. Anyone have any ideas? -- Walter Dnes waltd...@waltdnes.org I don't run desktop environments; I run useful applications
