Apologies for the lack of advance notice on this patch release.
The Athena 9.4.22 patch release (9.4.23 for Solaris) is currently
scheduled for this evening (Tuesday January 17). Changes include:
On both platforms:
* Gaim has been locally modified to support GSSAPI authentication,
fix SSL connection stalling problems, and properly handle
recursive buddy adds under Jabber.
* A security vulnerability was fixed in Athena's build of OpenSSL.
* gconfd should now be properly shut down at login time, fixing bugs
where settings changes made shortly before logout aren't saved.
On Solaris:
* Sun patches 119254-10 and 121229-01 were added to fix bugs in the
Sun package management tools and fix a security vulnerability in
OpenSSL.
* The libiconv and gettext man pages are now installed in the same
place as other man pages.
* ldapsearch should function properly.
On Linux:
* Several packages were updated to keep current with RHEL 4.
If you have a machine set AUTOUPDATE=false, you can update it manually
after the release goes out by doing a console login as root and
running "update_ws".
Please send any questions or comments to release-team@mit.edu. Please
report any bugs you find with the "sendbug" command.
