GDM 2.4.4.4
GDM 2.4.1.7
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAIKES!
(If you have no clue what gdm is, skip a few paragraphs down
first)
Well, I really ought to be doing homework, but alas, security
problems tend to creep up in the most unexpected times. This time
it’s not as serious, but still somewhat serious for large
installations. These are two local DoS attacks, unexploitable in a
different way then to crash or hang the main daemon thus making
further logins impossible. Note that neither will crash or hang
current sessions however. They were classified as CAN-2003-0793 and
CAN-2003-0794
I’ve made a 2.4.4.4 release which is for GNOME2.4 and for those
of you still running old GNOME I’ve made 2.4.1.7. However 2.4.4.4
should really compile on old GNOME (anything 2.0 and up I’d think)
and you should really use this version as it has many security
enhancements over 2.4.1.x and many MANY fixes over that version.
The 2.4.1.7 version just fixes the security problems and the
underline problem and nothing else. The 2.4.4.4 version includes
several new bug fixes.
And now for the standard part of the release announcement:
GDM is the GNOME Display Manager, it is the little proggie that
runs in the background, runs your X sessions, presents you with a
login box and then tells you to piss off because you forgot your
password. It does pretty much everything that you would want to use
xdm for, but doesn’t involve as much crack. It doesn’t use any code
from xdm, and has a more paranoid and safer design overall. It also
includes many features over xdm, the biggest one of which is that
it is more user friendly, even if your X setup is failing. The goal
is that users should never, ever have to use the command line to
customize or troubleshoot gdm. It of course supports xdmcp, and in
fact extends xdmcp a little bit in places where I thought xdm was
lacking (but is still compatible with xdm’s xdmcp).
News:
Highlights of 2.4.4.4:
- SECURITY: Fixed CAN-2003-0793, a local DoS, the socket
connection is now non-blocking and limitted to the number of
commands - SECURITY: Fixed CAN-2003-0794, a local DoS, the line length is
limitted to 4096 bytes (note, this was not a buffer overrun).(Thanks to Jarno Gassenbauer for pointing out the above two
problems) - Avoid possible DoS by using “-audit 0” for the X server command
line - When cookies are in the fallback dir touch them every 12 hours
to avoid tmpwatch from removing them - Add config key NeverPlaceCookiesOnNFS to allow cookie files on
NFS or similar filesystems - Graphical greeter now graphically complains if it can’t load a
theme rather then plainly failing. - Go shell quoting crazy (fixes among others rh #105858, but none
of the issues were actually security problems, “annoying” on really
weird configs at most) - Some more anality with touching user owned files
- Fixed the graphical greeter line breaking to not upset pango
and generally work with marked up strings - Fix an underlining bug in the graphical greeter when the
underlined letter is the last letter. (discussed in rh
#106189) - Minor other fixes (among others #123958, #124680)
Note: GDM2 was originally written by Martin K. Petersen
<mkp@mkp.net>, and has for a
while now been maintained by the Queen of England. She is usually
not responsive to bug reports or feature requests. You can try to
send them to me however.
Note2: If installing from the tarball do note that make install
overwrites most of the setup files, all except gdm.conf. It will
however save backups with the .orig extension first.
Note3: Note3 has been depracated …

Sorry no RPMS. There is a spec file included in the tarball and
it should work. So generate an rpm with
rpmbuild -ta gdm-whatever.tar.gz
Have fun (or whatever else you wish to be having),
George
PS: I really ought to be doing homework 🙂 $Rightarrow$ no
silliness for you

GENIUS 0.5.6
To find out what Genius is, skip a few paragraphs down, or go to
http://www.jirka.org/genius.html
Biggest news is really the syntax highlighting since 0.5.5 and a
whole bunch of fixes. You need GtkSourceView installed for syntax
highlighting.
(Note title of the release and thus note the lack of silliness
in these notes:)
In any case, Genius is one of the oldest GNOME projects, it has
been the original GNOME calculator before I got wild ideas about it
doing absolutely everything. It is programmable has a powerful
language and handles many fun features including matlab like
support for matrices. It requires GNOME2 and a recent enough gmp
library. However you can still use the command line version if you
prefer non-gui interface.
There is still a lot of work required to make this all nice,
mostly it needs to have the function library improved and verified
to be correct and documentation needs to be written (the complete
help system is not yet in place). Feel free to help out 🙂
Here are the news in 0.5.6:
- Several leaks fixed
- Several uninitialized data usage fixed
- Tolerances are floats, add aliases ‘Sign’ and ‘AbsoluteValue’
and add the ‘Identity’ function - Lots of internal cleanup including not using deprecated
stuff. - Start using vicious-extensions lib, and with that the ‘genius’
binary no longer inits gnome which means faster startup and faster
regression testing runs - Lots of random minor optimization (both performance and memory
usage) - Some build fixes
- Fix systems without wordexp (FreeBSD ports)
- Allow loading programs from the command line to
gnome-genius - Use GtkSourceView if available for syntax highlighting
- Handle change directory for filename completition
correctly - GUI a teeny bit HIGgier (but not completely)
- Translation updates (Guntupalli Karunakar, Danilo Segan,

Serrador, Duarte Loreto, Christian Rose, Guntupalli Karunakar, Wang
Jian, Mai Hao Hui, Metin Amiroff, Jordi Mallach, Xavier Conde
Rueda)

http://www.jirka.org/genius.html
Note that making RPMS should be simple with rpmbuild -ta
<tarball>, you should also get the updated GMP RPM which has
MPFR enabled since that’s a lot better then internal FP routines of
genius. RPM for that is on the 5z site. I don’t know why redhat
doesn’t enable MPFR in their builds.
Have fun,
George
