Fedora Project

  • My pull request for a backported (from version 3.4.0, to version 2.12.0) fix for CVE 2023-48795 ("Terrapin" attack) in python-paramiko was merged and built for EPEL-9 and EPEL-8

  • Updated perl-MIME-tools to 5.511 in Rawhide:

Local Packages

  • Updated c-ares to 1.25.0:

  • This is a maintenance release
  • Changes:
    • AutoTools: Rewrite build system to be lighter weight and fix issues in some semi-modern systems; it is likely this has broken building on some less common and legacy OSs, please report issues

    • Rewrite ares_strsplit() as a wrapper for ares__buf_split() for memory safety reasons

    • The ahost utility now uses ares_getaddrinfo() and returns both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses by default

    • OpenBSD: Add SOCK_DNS flag when creating socket

  • Bug Fixes:
    • Tests: Live reverse lookups for Google's public DNS servers no longer return results; replace with CloudFlare pubic DNS servers

    • MacOS legacy SDKs require sys/socket.h before net/if.h

    • Connection failures should increment the server failure count first or a retry might be enqueued to the same server
    • On systems that don't implement the ability to enumerate network interfaces the stubs used the wrong prototype
    • Fix minor warnings and documentation typos
    • Fix support for older GoogleTest versions

    • getrandom() may require sys/random.h on some systems

    • Fix building tests with symbol hiding enabled
  • Updated perl-MIME-tools to 5.511 as per the Fedora version
