Currently running version 201710 on my sony viao laptop. All works except compiz as ATI drivers are not yet released.

Hardware support for developers this could mean more support for Laptops, ATi cards, and Open source drivers.

Look forward to next Hipster release with updated graphics hardware support.For developers this could mean more support for Laptops, ATi cards, and Open source drivers.Current support for Nividia and a limited range of hardware could be expanded in 2016.

OpenSSL Security Advisory [9 Jul 2015]

OpenSSL Security Advisory [9 Jul 2015]
=======================================

Alternative chains certificate forgery (CVE-2015-1793)
======================================================

Severity: High

During certificate verification, OpenSSL (starting from version 1.0.1n and
1.0.2b) will attempt to find an alternative certificate chain if the first
attempt to build such a chain fails. An error in the implementation of this
logic can mean that an attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted
certificates to be bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid
leaf certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.

This issue will impact any application that verifies certificates including
SSL/TLS/DTLS clients and SSL/TLS/DTLS servers using client authentication.

This issue affects OpenSSL versions 1.0.2c, 1.0.2b, 1.0.1n and 1.0.1o.

OpenSSL 1.0.2b/1.0.2c users should upgrade to 1.0.2d
OpenSSL 1.0.1n/1.0.1o users should upgrade to 1.0.1p

This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 24th June 2015 by Adam Langley/David
Benjamin (Google/BoringSSL). The fix was developed by the BoringSSL project.

Note
====

As per our previous announcements and our Release Strategy
(https://www.openssl.org/about/releasestrat.html), support for OpenSSL versions
1.0.0 and 0.9.8 will cease on 31st December 2015. No security updates for these
releases will be provided after that date. Users of these releases are advised
to upgrade.

OiOS Hipster project new release 2015.03.30

Hipster 2015.03.30 is here

 
We released our last snapshot ISO almost half a year ago. I believe, you want something new. You'll get it. New ISOs were just uploaded to dlc server. Let's see what has changed.

First of all, most evident changes were made in desktop area. We've updated Xorg server and libraries, which allowed us to incorporate some important security fixes from Oracle x-s12-clone and Debian Xorg. Also we've moved much more closely to Gnome 2.32. Most packages were updated to this level, excluding packages which either have a lot of specific patches (like gdm) or just dropped some significant functionality (like cheese, which dropped HAL support in version 2.32). Not everything has gone smoothly. We had to drop trusted desktop support during update. I believe nobody seriously used it under OI. The most annoying thing is that updated Xorg and Intel driver require some DRM updates, which are still not ready. So, if you have Intel video card, either pkg freeze X-incorporation and xorg, or use vesa driver.

General system changes

All Sun Studio-compiled C++ libraries were removed from the system. The libraries were published in their current form to http://dlc.openindiana.org/c++-libs/, so you can grub necessary libraries and LD_PRELOAD them or use in alternative path if necessary. All X/g++/Y packages are renamed to X/Y and moved from /usr/g++ to /usr. We continue delivering system/library/c++/sunpro for the foreseeable future.

Text installer was changed to install OI on EFI-labeled disk by default. Note, in this case the entire disk is erased. If you want to install OI on MBR-labeled disk, choose partitioned install.

Desktop software and libraries

• A lot of desktop libraries were updated
• Glib2 is updated to 2.43.4
• GTK2 is updated to 2.24.27
• pango is updated to 1.36.8
• cairo is updated to 1.14.2
• libdrm is updated to 2.4.59
• libX11 is updated to 1.6.2, xcb support is enabled in libX11
• xf86-video-ati driver updated to 6.4.16
• nvidia proprietary driver was updated to 340.76
• Mesa is updated to 10.5.1
• Xserver is updated to 1.12.4 with the latest available video/input Xorg drivers. This requires updating xorg drivers and modules. OI-shipped modules will be updated automatically, but if you use VirtualBox, you'll have to update your guest additions to at least 4.3.22 version.
• Enlightenment 0.19.3 is added as alternative desktop environment
• fontconfig was updated to 2.11.1
• libid3tag and libmtp were imported from SFE, gmtp is added
• rdesktop is updated to 1.8.3
• transmission is updated to 2.52
• XScreensaver is updated to 5.32
• gnome-commander is updated to 1.4.5
• QT 4.8.6 is added
• emacs is updated to 24.3
• Input Method Selector was added from upstream input-method gate. Bug in svc:/application/desktop-cache/input-method-cache:default service preventing correct input methods functioning in recent OI was fixed. In fact, gtk input modules cache was moved from /etc/(amd64/)gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules to /usr/lib/(amd64/)gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules.cache and service has to regenerate these cache files in new locations . So, after update you can safely remove /etc/(amd64/)gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules.

• SQLite is updated to 3.8.8.3
• Python 3.4 is updated to 3.4.3

• libncurses.so links are moved to /usr/lib(/amd64)
• gawk is updated to 4.0.2, this fixes issues with pkgsrc bootstrap
• MPICH is updated to 3.1.3
• Sun Studio indent in /usr/bin was replaced by GNU indent. Old one is preserved in /opt/sunstudio12.1/prod/bin/indent

Server software

• A lot of packages were updated, including apache 2.4, php 5.4, php 5.5, postgresql 9.3, samba 3.6, mariadb 5.5
• PostgreSQL 9.4 is added
• PostgreSQL 8.4 is marked obsolete
• ISC dhcp server is updated to 4.2.7
• BIND DNS server is updated to 9.9.6-P2
• rsyslog is updated to 7.4.10

Startpage search engine The POODLE SSLv3 Threat

Startpage have announced an advisory claiming that Because StartPage does not support SSL v3, you are safe from POODLE when visiting StartPage.com.Readers may conclude that resetting all search engine home pages to Startpage will be an added measure to protect against Poodle.

SSL heartbeat and poodle flaws in Firer Fox browsers security commentry

Firer Fox has released an add on for users of sslv3 to help secure their machines.Its easy and comes by way of add on this is the statement.Newer releases will incorporate security upgrades.

SSLv3 is now insecure, and is soon going to be disabled by default.
https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2014/10/14/the-poodle-attack-and-the-end-of-ssl-3-0/

In the meantime, you can use this extension to turn off SSLv3 in your copy of Firefox. When you install the add-on, it will set the minimum TLS version to TLS 1.0 (disabling SSLv3). If you want to change that setting later, like if you really need to access an SSLv3 site, just go to Tools / Add-ons and click the "Preferences" button next to the add-on. That will give you a drop-down menu to select the minimum TLS version you want to allow.

As of version 0.2, this add-on should work with all Mozilla products, including Firefox, Firefox for Android, Thunderbird, and Seamonkey.
