Security Week in Review (2007-01-28)

I really have nothing much to say about this week. The biggest thing to happen is probably a new version of Wireshark. Wireshark 0.99.5 was released on Thursday. It only fixes some minor crashing bugs. There was once a time when Wireshark (then Ethereal) had a rather poor security record. It has improved significantly over the last few years.

The Super Bowl is on tonight, so I think I'll keep things short.

Security Updates

kernel
Fixed in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4
fetchmail
Fixed in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1, 3, and 4
squirrelmail
Fixed in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4
bind
Fixed in FC5, FC6
This is the bind update I mentioned last week. I'm still rather annoyed with ISC, and a number of other people have backed me up that they've become very hard to work with as of late. This makes me feel better that it's not just me, but it's also a shame as they were once a great organization.
libsoup
Fixed in FC6
