[arch-dev-public] [signoff] nano 2.2.4-1 (CVE fixes)
by Andreas Radke 20 Apr '10

20 Apr '10

Please signoff this upstream update quickly. -Andy 2010.04.15 - GNU nano 2.2.4 is nobody's fool. First and foremost, this relase includes some security fixes due to an assessment of nano's vulnerability to symlink attacks on open files. The CVEs fixed with this release are CVE-2010-1160 and CVE-2010-1161. Also included are fixes for various crash modes when using the spell checker on new files in multibuffer mode (surely you've used that combination recently? No?) as well as a fixing the 'file was modified' message when saving to a new filename (since how would nano know?). And the list would not be complete without our third-times-the-charm fixes to page up/down due to the soft wrapping code. The lone new feature included is a new syntax higlighting definition for cmake-related files. Please do consider upgrading to this release if still using the 2.0 series since fixes for that version are still forthcoming.

Wasn't there a request for someone who would maintain audio packages in general (and pulseaudio-based stuff in particular) recently?
