Xorg Security Vulnerabilities

2006-06-20 Thread Dan Nicholson
Security vulnerabilities in Xorg. Could someone forward to lfs-security? I'm not subscribed. Also, would someone be a dove and see if there's a similar vulnerability in XFree86? Also, substitute xorg.freedesktop.org for www.freedesktop.org in the links below. http://lists.freedesktop.org/archi

Xorg7.1, uClibc, glx, and mallocretunrsnull

Okay, I have just gone through and installed Xorg 7.1 on my gcc-4.1.1 system. (temporarily back to non-ssp given the current problems with libssp) First of fall, I have a serious problem/regression? with glx.so under this system. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to go about solving thi

[RFC] Shell script to rebuild info files

2006-06-20 Thread Dan Nicholson
Hi guys, Since there is a precedent set with the convert-mans shell script, I thought it might be alright to add a simple shell script to rebuild the info dir file. I'm always trying to remember the commands, then end up looking here: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/development/chapter

I have a temporary solution to use gcc-4.1 ssp with uclibc-0.9.28. Don't use the ssp library in uClibc (or arc4random), and use libssp from gcc. uClibc can still build with -fstack-protector, but it will be linked to libssp.so. I have known uClibc-cvs to be bug prone. Their next release will pro

specs patch

Hi. I don't seriously expect these hideous commands to be added to the book, but they should be usefull with future gcc versions to make a new patch quickly. We can replace the specs patch with the following commands: find gcc/config/ -name "*linux*.h" | xargs sed -e \ 's@/lib/@/tools/li
