Patches, patches, patches...To forestall potential incidents of Warnock's Dillemma...
I'm about to apply a whole heap 'o patches to Parrot. (With
appropriate [APPLIED] responses, I hope) If, at the end of the day, I
have *not* applied or commented on a patch you've sent, it means I've
Officially Missed It, so give another try.
Sorry 'bout this. Too much mail in the mailbox, and going back in
time is tricky, as it can miss subsequent discussions on patches 'n
stuff.

Patches, patches, patches... #2
OK, this is advance warning that I'm about to be reposting a bunch
of patches of mine which appear to have succumbed to Warnock's Dilemma.
The first three should be uncontroversial: there's a documentation fix-up
for core.ops, and new tests for strings and stacks. The last one is
rather larger, and consists of a greatly expanded set of tests for
PerlString's, plus a bunch of bug-fixes. I'd be grateful if Jeff or Dan
could take a look at this, as I have the feeling that a lot of the
scalar PMCs are going to need similar fixes.

[PATCH] Patch to patch for callbacks in coreI should have tested this better before submitting it. This patch is to
Perl 11722 after applying my previous patch.
Now callbacks will actually work. :-)

Where are the ZENworks Patch Management server patches at?According to this URL:

ZENworks Patch Management Patch 5 is out....I must be way behind because I
still have the base product installed. Where are these patches at? I
cannot seem to find any of them on Novell's website. Applying these
patches could very well fix my issue with my server not being able to
contact novell.patchlinksecure.net as well as the issue we are having
regarding the Discovery Agent using vast amounts of client CPU...

Ricardo,
are you asking how to compress your files? In a custom package you
would have to do this yourself, perhaps use winzip to compress, then
use a script to decompress at the workstation. To make this automatic,
you would need to buy the PDK (Patch Development Kit)

[PATCH] Debian patches--qDbXVdCdHGoSgWSk
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Disposition: inline
Attached are the patches to Debian's 5.8.4 package not currently covered
by my latest rsync of perl-5.8.x. The patches have been re-worked to
apply cleanly to that branch, but all should be applicable to
perl-current as well.
10_fix_file_path
Rewrite of File::Path::rmtree. This is the most important patch, it
replaces rmtree with a recursive function to remove a race condition
which potentially allows an attacker to make files suid or to remove
arbitrary files (CAN-2...
[PATCH] patching for sunosHi coders,
greetings from the stone age:
This is perl, v5.9.4 built for sun4-sunos-stdio
SunOS Release 4.1.3 (GENERIC) #3: Mon Jul 27 16:44:16 PDT 1992
$ uname -a
SunOS xxx 4.1.3 3 sun4m
If anyone is interested in patches for SunOS yet, I have some.
Some are harmless, some may not be optimal. Help/hints/tips are
always nice and appreciated.
1. SunOS realloc() does not like NULL pointers as parameters.
(buf?realloc((buf), (size)):malloc((size)))
2. There is no strtoul(), alas. Some older code correctly uses the
Strtoul() macro (capital S). Newer additions don't...

Talking about Perl 5 git repo tonight, some questions came up about where
development really happens. This patch is a bit of clarification about
where/why patches go to blead/maint.

Microsoft patching its patchesWhile we're on the topic of zombies, security and patches.....
George.

"Exchange security patch needs patching"
The patch needs a patch. The security update Microsoft rolled out
last week to caulk a hole in Exchange 2000 server actually needs a
patch itself. MS is also broadening its original Exchange 2000
security bulletin to include Exchange 5.5 Server deployments for the
first time. Microsoft says if you've deployed Outlook Web Access, you
need to patch ASAP.

BlackIce Patched or Not Patched?ISS recently released a patch for the much published denial of server
venerability in BlackIce Defender. Yet, eEye referred to the venerability
as a buffer overflow.
My question is ... does the newly released patch cover both? The ISS site
does not refer to a buffer overflow.
Does that mean that even after installing the patch BlackIce Defender is
open to a buffer overflow? (not good if so) I've taken BlackIce offline
until I am certain that it is fully patched.
Thanks in advance.
Tom
Correction: Denial of service venerability as opposed to denial of server.
