Slackware 1089 Published by

New udisks and udisks2 packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, and -current to fix a security issue



Here are the details from the Slackware 14.1 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/udisks-1.0.5-i486-1_slack14.1.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes a stack-based buffer overflow when handling long path
names. A malicious, local user could use this flaw to create a
specially-crafted directory structure that could lead to arbitrary code
execution with the privileges of the udisks daemon (root).
For more information, see:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-0004
(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/udisks2-2.1.3-i486-1_slack14.1.txz: Upgraded.

names. A malicious, local user could use this flaw to create a
