------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Debian Project http://www.debian.org/ Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 updated press@debian.org September 5th, 2009 http://www.debian.org/News/2009/20090905 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 updated The Debian project is pleased to announce the third update of its stable distribution Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 (codename "lenny"). This update mainly adds corrections for security problems to the stable release, along with a few adjustments for serious problems. Please note that this update does not constitute a new version of Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 but only updates some of the packages included. There is no need to throw away 5.0 CDs or DVDs but only to update via an up-to- date Debian mirror after an installation, to cause any out of date packages to be updated. Those who frequently install updates from security.debian.org won't have to update many packages and most updates from security.debian.org are included in this update. New CD and DVD images containing updated packages and the regular installation media accompanied with the package archive respectively will be available soon at the regular locations. Upgrading to this revision online is usually done by pointing the aptitude (or apt) package tool (see the sources.list(5) manual page) to one of Debian's many FTP or HTTP mirrors. A comprehensive list of mirrors is available at: <http://www.debian.org/distrib/ftplist> Miscellaneous Bugfixes ---------------------- This stable update adds a few important corrections to the following packages: Package Reason avelsieve Allow last filter to be deleted and fix interoperability with dovecot base-files Update /etc/debian_version to reflect the point release burn Properly escape filenames and more securely handle subprocess arguments ffmpeg-debian Support reading large metadata in flac decoder firmware-nonfree Add firmware-bnx2x package freedoom Remove copyright-violating material ganeti Fix hvmloader path to match Lenny's xen-utils-3.2-1 geoip Add versioned Replaces to avoid issues with upgrades from etch gthumb Fix treating symlinked directories contents as duplicated heartbeat Fix syntax error, IPv6 /64 prefixes and etch to lenny upgrades irssi Fix out of bounds access kernel-wedge Include bnx2x driver if available libcompress-raw-bzip2-perl CVE-2009-1884: fix off-by-one error in bzinflate() libcompress-raw-zlib-perl CVE-2009-1391: Fix a buffer overflow in inflate() libio-socket-ssl-perl Fix security vulnerability in partial hostname matching libpam-ssh Fix user enumeration issue linux-2.6 Several fixes and increased hardware support linux-kernel-di-alpha-2.6 Rebuild against linux-2.6 kernel 2.6.26-19 linux-kernel-di-amd64-2.6 Rebuild against linux-2.6 kernel 2.6.26-19 linux-kernel-di-arm-2.6 Rebuild against linux-2.6 kernel 2.6.26-19 linux-kernel-di-armel-2.6 Rebuild against linux-2.6 kernel 2.6.26-19 linux-kernel-di-hppa-2.6 Rebuild against linux-2.6 kernel 2.6.26-19 linux-kernel-di-i386-2.6 Rebuild against linux-2.6 kernel 2.6.26-19 linux-kernel-di-ia64-2.6 Rebuild against linux-2.6 kernel 2.6.26-19 linux-kernel-di-mips-2.6 Rebuild against linux-2.6 kernel 2.6.26-19 linux-kernel-di-mipsel-2.6 Rebuild against linux-2.6 kernel 2.6.26-19 linux-kernel-di-powerpc-2.6 Rebuild against linux-2.6 kernel 2.6.26-19 linux-kernel-di-s390-2.6 Rebuild against linux-2.6 kernel 2.6.26-19 linux-kernel-di-sparc-2.6 Rebuild against linux-2.6 kernel 2.6.26-19 mod-wsgi Incorporate upstream bug-fix releases (including several potential crash or memory leak bugs) multipath-tools Fix crash on shutdown nexuiz-data Disable message about new upstream versions openafs Don't create invalid pointers to kernel memory when handling errors openssl Fix several vulnerabilities perl Fix a memory leak, buffer overflow (CVE-2009-1391) and replaces/conflicts package name typo pidgin Properly enforce the "require SSL/TLS" option on older XMPP servers postgrey Update whitelist; include wider Google entry python-django Fix aribtrary filesystem access via crafted URLs python-numpy Fix incorrect symlink to include file python-support Ignore lines starting "import" when parsing .pth files request-tracker3.6 Only allow SuperUsers to edit global RT at a Glance spamassassin Stop using cybersquatted open-whois.org RBL stardict Disable network dictionary plugin (CVE-2009-2260) subversion Fix mail header formatting in commit-email.pl hook texlive-base Don't fail when LaTeX is five years old; blacklist lamsarrow.sty and include fixed font metrics texlive-bin Fix error with configuring when included files are five years old texlive-extra Don't fail when LaTeX is five years old texlive-lang Don't fail when LaTeX is five years old tor Fix DoS and another potential security issue transmission Fix segfault and generation of invalid filenames tzdata Update Cairo DST for Ramadan udev Update several rules and add backported fixes user-mode-linux Rebuild against linux-source-2.6.26 (2.6.26-19) wordpress Fix password reset procedure xcftools Fix crash with files containing negative co-ordinates xfce4-dict Don't create zombie processes xfce4-weather-plugin Use weather.com API key so that results are returned again xorg Fix grave bug in postinst maintainer script which could lead to empty xorg configuration files znc Fix crash if a user is deleted whilst connecting to a server New version of debian-installer ------------------------------- The installer has been updated to incorporate the new kernels released with this point release, adding support for new network hardware, and to fix a segfault early in the boot process of installations for the S/390 architecture.
