The rh73 packages had a version bump so they would upgrade the previous release properly. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Legacy Test Update Notification FEDORALEGACY-2005-154991 Bugzilla https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=154991 2005-05-05 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : sharutils 7.3 Version : sharutils-4.2.1-12.8.legacy 9 Version : sharutils-4.2.1-16.9.2.legacy fc1 Version : sharutils-4.2.1-17.3.legacy fc2 Version : sharutils-4.2.1-18.3.FC2.legacy Summary : The GNU shar utilities for managing shell archives. Description : The sharutils package contains the GNU shar utilities, a set of tools for encoding and decoding packages of files (in binary or text format) in a special plain text format called shell archives (shar). This format can be sent through email (which can be problematic for regular binary files). The shar utility supports a wide range of capabilities (compressing, uuencoding, splitting long files for multi-part mailings, providing checksums), which make it very flexible. After the files have been sent, the unshar tool scans mail messages looking for shar files. Unshar automatically strips off mail headers and introductory text and then unpacks the shar files. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Updated packages for sharutils which fix a security vulnerability are now available. The sharutils package contains a set of tools for encoding and decoding packages of files in binary or text format. A bug was found in the way unshar creates temporary files. A local user could use symlinks to overwrite arbitrary files the victim running unshar has write access to. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0990 to this issue. All users of sharutils should upgrade to these packages, which resolve this issue. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Changelogs: rh73: * Thu May 05 2005 Marc Deslauriers <marcdeslauriers@xxxxxxxxxxxx> 4.2.1-12.8.legacy - Bumped version number * Sat Apr 16 2005 Marc Deslauriers <marcdeslauriers@xxxxxxxxxxxx> 4.2.1-12.7.x.1.legacy - Added security fix for CAN-2005-0990 rh9: * Sun Apr 17 2005 Marc Deslauriers <marcdeslauriers@xxxxxxxxxxxx> 4.2.1-16.9.2.legacy - Added security fix for CAN-2005-0990 fc1: * Sat Apr 16 2005 Marc Deslauriers <marcdeslauriers@xxxxxxxxxxxx> 4.2.1-17.3.legacy - Added security fix for CAN-2005-0990 fc2: * Sun May 01 2005 Marc Deslauriers <marcdeslauriers@xxxxxxxxxxxx> 4.2.1-18.3.FC2.legacy - Added missing gettext and mailx BuildRequires * Sun Apr 17 2005 Marc Deslauriers <marcdeslauriers@xxxxxxxxxxxx> 4.2.1-18.2.FC2.legacy - Added security fix for CAN-2005-0990 --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedoralegacy.org/ (sha1sums) b7bc64c53c9352cd872da7d6b05087a403eeb342 redhat/7.3/updates-testing/i386/sharutils-4.2.1-12.8.legacy.i386.rpm ecd2c836c88cd4deee0f421695cf69c59dbd6895 redhat/7.3/updates-testing/SRPMS/sharutils-4.2.1-12.8.legacy.src.rpm 00132d8850d0db03c6adae00ecece7c99de20223 redhat/9/updates-testing/i386/sharutils-4.2.1-16.9.2.legacy.i386.rpm 715cf1cc13d0a99c379466299d67a0028bbc29c8 redhat/9/updates-testing/SRPMS/sharutils-4.2.1-16.9.2.legacy.src.rpm 000778eae9c2f079a98f5579669eecf841fba6c7 fedora/1/updates-testing/i386/sharutils-4.2.1-17.3.legacy.i386.rpm 3e2f5b5babcd978e4d1ef96af504f8ee6eb50fdc fedora/1/updates-testing/SRPMS/sharutils-4.2.1-17.3.legacy.src.rpm 1211acde10ecca361e1ac19e72a82fd6dcda10f4 fedora/2/updates-testing/i386/sharutils-4.2.1-18.3.FC2.legacy.i386.rpm 08292d722a234c43a4fd9f0c24c33e36da8a35ed fedora/2/updates-testing/SRPMS/sharutils-4.2.1-18.3.FC2.legacy.src.rpm --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please test and comment in bugzilla.
