Fedora Update Notification

Name : inn
Product : Fedora 29
Version : 2.6.3
Release : 1.fc29
URL : http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/inn/
Summary : The InterNetNews system, an Usenet news server
Description :
INN (InterNetNews) is a complete system for serving Usenet news and/or
private newsfeeds. INN includes innd, an NNTP (NetNews Transport
Protocol) server, and nnrpd, a newsreader that is spawned for each
client. Both innd and nnrpd vary slightly from the NNTP protocol, but
not in ways that are easily noticed.
Install the inn package if you need a complete system for serving and
reading Usenet news. You may also need to install inn-devel, if you
are going to use a separate program which interfaces to INN, like
newsgate or tin.

Update Information:
* Fixed the selection of the elliptic curve to use with OpenSSL 1.1.0 or later;
NIST P-256 was enforced instead of using the most secure curve. * A new
inn.conf parameter has been added to fine-tune the cipher suites to use with TLS
1.3: the *tlsciphers13* now permits configuring them. A separate cipher suite
configuration parameter is needed for TLS 1.3 because TLS 1.3 cipher suites are
not compatible with TLS 1.2, and vice-versa. In order to avoid issues where
legacy TLS 1.2 cipher suite configuration configured in the *tlsciphers*
parameter would inadvertently disable all TLS 1.3 cipher suites, the inn.conf
configuration has been separated out. * Support for Python 3 has been added to
INN. Embedded Python filtering and authentication hooks for innd and nnrpd can
now use version 3.3.0 or later of the Python interpreter. In the 2.x series,
version 2.3.0 or later is still supported. When configuring INN with the
--with-python flag, the "PYTHON" environment variable, when set, is used to
select the interpreter to embed. Otherwise, it is searched in standard paths.
In case you change the Python interpreter to embed, make sure that the Python
scripts you use are written in the expected syntax for that version of the
Python interpreter. Notably, buffer objects have been replaced with memoryview
objects in Python 3, and UTF-8 encoding now really matters for string literals
(Python 3 uses bytes and Unicode objects). INN documentation and samples
of Python hooks have been updated to provide more examples. * When a Python or
Perl filter hook rejects an article, innd now mentions the reason in response to
CHECK and TAKETHIS commands. Previously, the reason was given only for the IHAVE
command. * nnrpd now properly logs the hostname of clients whose connection
failed owing to an issue during the negotiation of a TLS session or high load
average.
