--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2004-089 2004-03-09 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : less Version : 382 Release : 1.1 Summary : A text file browser similar to more, but better. Description : The less utility is a text file browser that resembles more, but has more capabilities. Less allows you to move backwards in the file as well as forwards. Since less doesn't have to read the entire input file before it starts, less starts up more quickly than text editors (for example, vi). You should install less because it is a basic utility for viewing text files, and you'll use it frequently. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This package contains an updated version of less, which is supposed to fix segfaults on certain types of files (bugzilla #117118). Support for non-UTF8 japanese charsets has been removed, therefore=20 it isn't possible anymore to view non-UTF8 japanese texts with less=20 by setting the JLESSCHARSET variable.=20 See bugzilla #115079 and #116902 to read about the reasons for the removal of the iso254 patch. --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Tue Mar 02 2004 Karsten Hopp <karsten(a)redhat.de> 382-1.1 - build for FC1 * Sat Feb 14 2004 Karsten Hopp <karsten(a)redhat.de> 382-1 - new upstream version * Fri Feb 13 2004 Elliot Lee <sopwith(a)redhat.com> - rebuilt * Thu Jan 15 2004 Karsten Hopp <karsten(a)redhat.de> 381-2 - drop iso247 patch, doesn't work --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/1/ 5396bf08a68dfc6e63616df701314135 SRPMS/less-382-1.1.src.rpm b142036582521dcf00c01dec17378171 i386/less-382-1.1.i386.rpm dc5eee4bcbfaf5d0e97f1440ac8db870 i386/debug/less-debuginfo-382-1.1.i386.rpm 51749523b223f517c8183d14614ab728 x86_64/less-382-1.1.x86_64.rpm 47cdedd88d0b76afac0250fec5184675 x86_64/debug/less-debuginfo-382-1.1.x86_64.rpm This update can also be installed with the Update Agent; you can launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command. --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Karsten Hopp <karsten(a)redhat.de> GPG 1024D/70ABD02C Fingerprint D2D4 3B6B 2DE4 464C A432 210A DFF8 A140 70AB D02C Red Hat Deutschland, Hauptstaetter Str.58 70178 Stuttgart, Tel.+49-711-96437-0, Fax +49-711-96437-111

Announcing Fedora Core 1 for AMD64
by Bill Nottingham 05 Mar '04

05 Mar '04

Red Hat, Inc. and the Fedora Project today announced the availability of a port of Fedora Core 1 to AMD64 - the first 64-bit port of a Fedora Project core release. The Fedora Project is a Red Hat-sponsored and community-supported open source project that promotes rapid development of innovative open source software through a collaborative, community effort. Fedora Core 1 provides a complete Linux platform built exclusively from open source software. Available at no cost, the release serves the needs of community developers, testers, and other technology enthusiasts who wish to participate in and accelerate the technology development process. As a community forum for advanced development, the Fedora Project provides early visibility to the latest open source technology and serves as a proving ground for technology that may eventually make its way into Red Hat's fully-supported commercial solutions such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Red Hat contributes development resources, editorial direction and management to the Fedora Project. Red Hat and the Fedora Project would like to thank Justin Forbes for his work organizing, coordinating, and developing this release, along with the many other community members who worked to make this release happen.

by Alexander Larsson 02 Mar '04

02 Mar '04

--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2004-078 2004-03-02 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : pwlib Version : 1.5.0 Release : 4 Summary : Portable Windows Libary Description : PWLib is a cross-platform class library designed to support the OpenH323 project. OpenH323 provides an implementation of the ITU H.323 teleconferencing protocol, used by packages such as Gnome Meeting. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: A test suite for the H.225 protocol (part of the H.323 family) provided by the NISCC uncovered bugs in PWLib prior to version 1.6.0. An attacker could trigger these bugs by sending carefully crafted messages to an application. The effects of such an attack can vary depending on the application, but would usually result in a Denial of Service. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0097 to this issue. Users are advised to upgrade to the update packages, which contain backported security fixes and are not vulnerable to these issues.
