Slackware 14.2slackware-14.2

Thu Jun 30 20:26:57 UTC 2016
Slackware 14.2 x86_64 stable is released!

The long development cycle (the Linux community has lately been living in
"interesting times", as they say) is finally behind us, and we're proud to
announce the release of Slackware 14.2.  The new release brings many updates
and modern tools, has switched from udev to eudev (no systemd), and adds
well over a hundred new packages to the system.  Thanks to the team, the
upstream developers, the dedicated Slackware community, and everyone else
who pitched in to help make this release a reality.

The ISOs are off to be replicated, a 6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided
32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD.  Please consider supporting the Slackware
project by picking up a copy from store.slackware.com.  We're taking
pre-orders now, and offer a discount if you sign up for a subscription.

Have fun!  :-)

-Subject: CVE-2013-2207, BZ #15755: Disable pt_chown.
-
-Using the setuid installed pt_chown and a weak check on whether a file
-descriptor is a tty, an attacker could fake a pty check using FUSE and
-trick pt_chown to grant ownership of a pty descriptor that the current
-user does not own.  It cannot access /dev/pts/ptmx however.
-
-Pre-conditions for the attack:
-
- * Attacker with local user account
- * Kernel with FUSE support
- * "user_allow_other" in /etc/fuse.conf
- * Victim with allocated slave in /dev/pts
-
-In most modern distributions pt_chown is not needed because devpts
-is enabled by default. The fix for this CVE is to disable building
-and using pt_chown by default. We still provide a configure option
-to enable the use of pt_chown but distributions do so at their own
-risk.
