| Test ID: | 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.58228 |
| Category: | Slackware Local Security Checks |
| Title: | Slackware: Security Advisory (SSA:2007-110-01) |
| Summary: | The remote host is missing an update for the 'x11-6' package(s) announced via the SSA:2007-110-01 advisory. |
| Description: | Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'x11-6' package(s) announced via the SSA:2007-110-01 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: A new x11-6.9.0-i486-14_slack11.0.tgz patch is available for Slackware 11.0 to fix the inadvertent inclusion of two old fontconfig binaries. Installing the original fontconfig patch followed by the original x11 patch would cause fc-cache and fc-list to be overwritten by old versions, breaking fontconfig. To fix the issue, reinstall the fontconfig patch. The x11 package has been updated so that installation will not be order-specific for anyone fetching the patches now. Sorry for the inconvenience. Here are the details from the Slackware 11.0 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/x11-6.9.0-i486-14_slack11.0.tgz: Removed old versions of fc-cache and fc-list. Somehow a couple of old fontconfig binaries snuck into this package, and prevent fc-cache from working properly at boot (or any other time). If you've already installed these upgrades, reinstalling the fontconfig package will fix the issue. If you do that, there's no need to reinstall this new x11 package -- it's been fixed so that there's no longer a problem with the package install order (and because those fc-* binaries didn't belong there). Sorry for any inconvenience... Thanks to Petri Kaukasoina for pointing this out. (* Fix *) +--------------------------+ Affected Software/OS: 'x11-6' package(s) on Slackware 11.0. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N |
