Fedora 9 Update: libxml2-2.7.1-2.fc9  03 October 2008 
This is an urgent security fix for a bug newly introduced in libxml2-2.7.x leading to CPU and memory exhaustion. See upstream bug report for further details: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=554660
 
Fedora 9 Update: xine-lib-1.1.15-1.fc9  10 September 2008 
This release fixes multiple bugs and security issues: - DoS via corrupted Ogg files (CVE-2008-3231) - multiple possible buffer overflows detailed in oCERT-2008-008 For more details, see: http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=619869&group_id=9655 http://www.ocert.org/advisories/ocert-2008-008.html NOTE: A coordinated release with 3rd-party repos was not possible, so this update may result in dependency issues with currently-installed xine-lib-extras-* rpms. This temporary problem will be rectified asap.
 
Fedora 8 Update: bitlbee-1.2.2-1.fc8  10 September 2008 
Upstream released Bitlbee 1.2.2 with the following changes to the former release: - Security bugfix: It was possible to hijack accounts (without gaining access to the old account, it's simply an overwrite) - Some more stability improvements. - Fixed bug where people with non-lowercase nicks couldn't drop their account. - Easier upgrades of non-forking daemon mode servers (using the DEAF command). - Can be cross-compiled for Win32 now! (No support for SSL yet though, which makes it less useful for now.) - Exponential backoff on auto-reconnect. - Changing passwords gives less confusing feedback ("password is empty") now. Finished 26 Aug 2008
 
Fedora 9 Update: xastir-1.9.2-9.fc9  10 September 2008 
Multiple insecure temporary file usage flaws were identified in the get- maptools.sh and get_shapelib.sh scripts shipped in xastir packages. As those scripts are not needed with Fedora-distributed xastir packages (they automate installation of libraries used by xastir, which are provided in the Fedora archive in the pre-packaged RPM format), they were removed.
 
Fedora 9 Update: samba-3.2.3-0.20.fc9  10 September 2008 
Security fix for CVE-2008-3789 detailed in the upstream advisory: http://www.samba.org/samba/security/CVE-2008-3789.html
 
Fedora 9 Update: R-2.7.2-1.fc9  10 September 2008 
Update to R 2.7.2, also fixes security issue with unsafe temp directory handling in javareconf script.
 
Fedora 8 Update: rpy-1.0.3-3.fc8  10 September 2008 
Update to R 2.7.2, also fixes security issue with unsafe temp directory handling in javareconf script.
