Fedora Project

  • Rebuilt perl-Compress-Raw-Lzma for xz 5.0.2 in Rawhide

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-CPAN-Meta to 2.110930:

    • The 1.x spec "gpl" and "lgpl" and "mozilla" license values now up-convert to "open_source" because they indicate too non-specific a license

    • Fixed a bug in the 'as_string' method that checked the module version instead of the meta-spec version when conversion was requested (CPAN RT#67188)

  • Updated perl-DateTime to update DateTime::TimeZone to 1.32:

    • Based on version 2011e of the Olson database
    • Changes for Morocco and Chile
  • Updated perl-Moose to 1.25:

    • Reinitializing anonymous rôles used to accidentally clear out the rôle's stash in some circumstances
  • Updated perl-PPIx-Regexp to 0.020, moving the module back to the vendor directories rather than the perl directories:

    • Corrected perl_version_introduced(): \R is now 5.009005 (was 5.000)

  • Updated proftpd (1.3.3 branch) to 1.3.3e:

    • Process privileges may not handled properly when --enable-autoshadow is used (bug 3757)

    • mod_sftp closes channel too early after scp download (bug 3544)

    • mod_sftp_pam may tell client to disable echoing erroneously (bug 3579)

    • mod_sftp behaves badly when receiving badly formed SSH messages (bug 3586, CVE-2011-1137)

    • Using "$shell $libtool" in prxs does not work for all shells (bug 3593)

    • WrapAllowMsg directive broken due to bug 3423 (bug 3538)

    • SocketOptions receive/send buffer size parameters no longer work (bug 3607)

    • mod_wrap2 needs to support netmask rules for IPv6 addresses (bug 3606)

    • APPE/STOU upload flags erroneously preserved across upload commands (bug 3612)

    • Malicious module can use sreplace() function to overflow buffer (bug 3614)

    • Exiting sessions don't seem to die properly (bug 3619)

    • mod_delay sometimes logs "unable to load DelayTable into memory" (bug 3622)

    • Plaintext command injection in FTPS support (bug 3624)

    • mod_ifsession rules using regular expressions do not work (bug 3625)

    • Truncated client name saved in ScoreboardFile (bug 3623)

    • %w variable populated with non-absolute path in SQLLog statement (bug 3627)

    • Unnecessarily verbose "warning: unable to throttle bandwidth: Interrupted system call" (bug 3628)

    • SSH DISCONNECT messages sent by mod_sftp even for FTP connections in some cases (bug 3630)

    • mod_sql should log "unrecoverable database error" at a higher priority (bug 3632)

    • Proftpd is eating CPU when re-parsing configuration file on SIGHUP (bug 3610)

    • Incorrect generation of DSA signature for SSH sessions (bug 3634)

  • Updated proftpd (trunk) to 1.3.4rc2, temporarily dropping mod_geoip as it hasn't yet been ported to the new regexp API and fails to build; PCRE support is used where we have a sufficiently recent pcre package (pcre 7.3 or later is needed for PCRE_ERROR_UNKNOWN_OPCODE):

    • Display messages work properly again
    • Fixes plaintext command injection vulnerability in FTPS implementation (bug 3624)

    • Fixes CVE-2011-1137 (badly formed SSH messages cause DoS - bug 3586)

    • Performance improvements, especially during server startup/restarts
    • New modules mod_memcache and mod_tls_memcache for using memcached servers for caching information among different proftpd servers and/or across sessions (this functionality is not yet enabled in this package)

    • Utilities installed by default: ftpasswd, ftpmail, ftpquota

    • New configuration directives:
      • MaxCommandRate

      • SQLNamedConnectInfo

      • TraceOptions

    • Changed configuration directives:
      • BanOnEvent

      • ExtendedLog

      • LogFormat

      • PathAllowFilter

      • PathDenyFilter

      • SFTPOptions

      • SFTPPAMOptions

      • SQLNamedQuery

      • TLSSessionCache

      • Trace

    • New documentation for ConnectionACLs and utilities (ftpasswd etc.)

  • Updated the Twisted stack to 11.0.0

  • Updated xz to 5.0.2:

    • LZMA2 decompressor now correctly accepts LZMA2 streams with no uncompressed data
    • "xz --suffix=.foo filename.foo" now refuses to compress the file due to it already having the suffix .foo

    • "xzgrep -l foo bar.xz" works now

    • Polish translation was added
  • Rebuilt perl-Compress-Raw-Lzma for xz 5.0.2
