Several security updates are now available for Slackware 8.1, including
updated packages for Apache, glibc, mod_ssl, openssh, openssl, and php.

Here are the details from the Slackware 8.1 ChangeLog:

- ----------------------------
Tue Jul 30 19:45:52 PDT 2002
patches/packages/apache-1.3.26-i386-2.tgz:  Upgraded the included libmm
  to version 1.2.1.  Versions of libmm earlier than 1.2.0 contain a tmp f=
ile
  vulnerability which may allow the local Apache user to gain privileges =
via
  temporary files or symlinks.  For details, see:
    http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=3DCAN-2002-0658
  This was also recompiled using EAPI patch from mod_ssl-2.8.10_1.3.26.
  (* Security fix *)
patches/packages/glibc-2.2.5-i386-3.tgz:  Patched to fix a buffer overflo=
w
  in glibc's DNS resolver functions that look up network addresses.
  Another workaround for this problem is to edit /etc/nsswtich.conf chang=
ing:
    networks:       files dns
  to:
    networks:       files
  (* Security fix *)
patches/packages/glibc-solibs-2.2.5-i386-3.tgz:  Patched to fix a buffer
  overflow in glibc's DNS resolver functions that look up network address=
es.
  (* Security fix *)
patches/packages/mod_ssl-2.8.10_1.3.26-i386-1.tgz:  This update fixes an
  off-by-one error in earlier versions of mod_ssl that may allow local us=
ers
 to execute code as the Apache user.  For more information, see:
    http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=3DCAN-2002-0653
  (* Security fix *)
patches/packages/openssh-3.4p1-i386-2.tgz:  Recompiled against
 openssl-0.9.6e. This update also contains a fix to the installation scri=
pt
 to ensure that the sshd privsep user is correctly created.
patches/packages/openssl-0.9.6e-i386-1.tgz:  Upgraded to openssl-0.9.6e,
 which fixes 4 potentially remotely exploitable bugs.  For details, see:
    http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=3DCAN-2002-0659
  (* Security fix *)
patches/packages/openssl-solibs-0.9.6e-i386-1.tgz:  Upgraded to
 openssl-0.9.6e, which fixes 4 potentially remotely exploitable bugs.  Fo=
r
 details, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=3DCAN-2002-0=
659
  (* Security fix *)
patches/packages/php-4.2.2-i386-1.tgz:  Upgraded to php-4.2.2.  Earlier
 versions of PHP 4.2.x contain a security vulnerability, which although n=
ot
 currently considered exploitable on the x86 architecture is probably sti=
ll a
 good to patch.  For details, see:=20
 http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2002-21.html (* Security fix *)

Upgrade existing packages using the upgradepkg command:

   # upgradepkg apache-1.3.26-i386-2.tgz glibc-2.2.5-i386-3.tgz \
     glibc-solibs-2.2.5-i386-3.tgz mod_ssl-2.8.10_1.3.26-i386-1.tgz \
     openssh-3.4p1-i386-2.tgz openssl-0.9.6e-i386-1.tgz \
     openssl-solibs-0.9.6e-i386-1.tgz php-4.2.2-i386-1.tgz

If the packages have not been previously installed, either use the
installpkg command, or the --install-new option with upgradepkg.

Finally, if your site runs Apache it will need to be restarted:

   # apachectl restart
