Change logs for procps source package in Quantal

  • procps (1:3.3.3-2ubuntu3.3) quantal; urgency=low
    
      * Avoid SEGV if file2str should read zero bytes. This is a backport of
        526bc5df from upstream.  When utility buffers were introduced for file2str
        read requests, a subtle change was inadvertently introduced such that a
        read of zero no longer returns a -1 value. This returns to the behavior to
        returning -1 on zero byte reads. (LP: #1242746)

  • procps (1:3.3.3-2ubuntu3.2) quantal; urgency=low
    
      * ignore_eaccess.patch: If we get eaccess when opening a sysctl file for
        writing, don't error out.  Otherwise package upgrades can fail, especially
        in containers.  (LP: #1157643)

  • procps (1:3.3.3-2ubuntu3.1) quantal; urgency=low
    
      * Backport of a45dace4 and 95d01362 in order to enable dynamically
        allocated buffers in file2str.  This fixes a number of seg fault problems
        including the one related to large numbers of groups per user.
        (LP: #1150413)

  • procps (1:3.3.3-2ubuntu3) quantal; urgency=low
    
      * debian/sysctl.d/10-magic-sysrq.conf: adjust to 176 by default, retaining
        support for the critical sync, remount, reboot functions.  SysRq+E and
        SysRq+I are still disabled, which unfortunately means SysRq by default
        cannot be used to kill a broken X server; but the only way to enable
        these would be to re-enable SysRq+F, which is one of the options that's
        problematic security-wise.  LP: #1025467

  • procps (1:3.3.3-2ubuntu2) quantal; urgency=low
    
      * Add debian/sysctl.d/10-magic-sysrq.conf: disable the magic sysrq key
        by default, since it's not needed for the average system, and exposes
        security issues such as memory disclosure and killing arbitrary
        processes including the screen lock. (LP: #194676)
