similar to: pentium f00f crash and IP fragment bug crash fixes...

[mod: The first message would''ve been rejected on the grounds "no security related information", but it gives ME a warm feeling too, so I''m allowing it to piggyback on the announcement of the "fix". Note that Linux-2.1.63 simply implements a fix for the problem, instead of applying this fix, upgrading to 2.1.63 might be an option for you. Linus indicated that

Pardon me if this is already known -- Theo, at least, had never heard of a Unix doing this. mkstemp() under Linux claims to conform to BSD4.3, but BSDs (FreeBSD and OpenBSD, at least) seem to have a slightly different behavior. Under Linux, new files are created with mode 0666, while under BSDs new files are created with mode 0600. A user need only set his umask to 0 and he will be able to

I''ll just include the letter that I sent to John Carmack and Dave "Zoid" Kirsch concerning this problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Greg Alexander <galexand@sietch.bloomington.in.us> Approved: R.E.Wolff@BitWizard.nl To: zoid@threewave.com cc: johnc@idsoftware.com Subject: Security hole in squake. Please respond with this

Linux libc5.4.33''s mk[s]temp() functions require 6 X''s at the end of a filename (the BSD versions I''ve seen are a bit more flexible). This alone is enough to break any claims to real BSD compatability, but wait, there''s more: Only 1 of those 6 X''s are really unique. The rest are simply pid. So you can create exactly 62 temp files using mk[s]temp()

Hi, I've been trying to get the G.729a beta codec running with my remote Asterisk box that talks IAX2 to my local Asterisk box. Digium fixed the problem I was having in registering the beta codec, so that now works fine. I've removed the old codec_g729b.so from /usr/lib/asterisk/modules and put in place the codec_g729a.so beta from digium FTP. My CVS build of Asterisk is about a

Hey Everyone; I inherited an Asterisk box where the dialplan is a real mess. ( I would actually be embarrassed to post some of the stuff!) So, here is what I need to do - and again, I am looking for fishing nets and places to cast them - if I don't figure it out, I will never freakin' learn! I have several users configured (101, 102, 105, 155, 211, etc). They are all in different

John accused me of complaining about systemd... this here's *real* complaining. Several times every month, my email starts getting bounced by freakin' nixspam, because my giant hosting provider, that hosts millions of domains. Akemi has argued that nixspam works just fine (if so, then why did we get that spam a few weeks ago?). I've politely requested being put on a whitelist, and

Hi, The subject line pretty much says it all. Oh, that plus I'm tearing my hair out trying to get it all to play nice together. rsync version = 2.5.5 protocol version 26 OpenSSH_3.5p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090608f cygwin -- downloaded in the last 3 days from official mirrors. I'm trying to make one Win2k box rsync with another Win2k box. I managed to get it such that an

I think I can say I've been officially horrified into a coma. During a routine rebuild after installing DocBook tools, I wandered away.. and then back and after half an hour, the build was still stalled on the same command: xsltproc. Huh? I thought, has it crashed? Strace revealed that it was making a bazillion connections all over the net. Loking at the XML, it's clear why. Because

You could use MTR command. Its a trace route improved.

I often find myself doing, whois some.damned.ip.address and then copying and pasting the address range for the miscreant in question, and doing, shorewall iprange x.x.x.x-y.y.y.y with the aim to drop the entire range. My one minor complaint is that I often have to edit out the spaces between the hyphen when copying and pasting the address range returned by whois. I tweaked the shorewall

CocoaMySQL is definitely the way to go. Great app. Unfortunately, it''s somewhat complicated to find the correct version to use. Make sure you get version CocoaMySQL v0.7b2 based on official SMySQL framework (http://cocoamysql.sourceforge.net/beta.php). the current stable version 0.5 does not work with MySQL4.1., the latest beta does (however, no support for new new password

Hi there, I read in the appt-database that it is possible to run Dreamfall - The Longest Journey under wine. So I put in the DVD and fired up the installer, and here I am: It installed just fine, now, the freakin' Starforce thing needs to be installed and after clicking the restard-button, wine crashes. Several times in row! So now, the question is: What can I do? I don't need to install a

Hello Everyone! First of all I'm new here. And i have to say that wine is awesome :). I never had to ask in the forums for help because i always got a solution in the AppDB and thats great. But now I'm freakin' out. I played Starcraft 2 since release on wine and it always ran smoothly. Today i wanted to run Trackmania but it didn't work. Since i played a lot of games in wine
