Local Packages

  • Updated perl-Event to 1.17:

  • Updated python-zope-interface to 3.6.2:

    • Moved detailed documentation out-of-line from PyPI page, linking instead to http://docs.zope.org/zope.interface

    • Fixes for small issues when running tests under Python 3.2 using zope.testrunner

    • LP#675064: specify return value type for C optimizations module init under Python 3: undeclared value caused warnings, and segfaults on some 64-bit architectures

    • setup.py now raises RuntimeError if you don't have Distutils installed when running under Python 3

  • Updated sendmail to 8.14.5:

    • SMTP extensions are no longer cached across connections as the cache is based on hostname which may not be a unique identifier for a server, i.e., different machines may have the same hostname but provide different SMTP extensions
    • An out-of-bounds access is avoided in case a resolver reply for a DNS map lookup returns a size larger than 1K
    • The interrupt signal handler has been cleaned up to avoid invoking functions that are not signal-safe
    • At most two AUTH lines are read from a server to avoid a DoS attack against the client (memory exhaustion)
