InterNetNews is a complete Usenet system. The cornerstone of the package
is innd, an NNTP server that multiplexes all I/O. Newsreading is handled
by a separate server, nnrpd, that is spawned for each client. Both innd
and nnrpd have some slight variances from the NNTP protocol.
This ports is the developpement version, DON'T USE IT OR TRY TO USE IT
ON A PRODUCTION SERVER.
- make the port ${PREFIX}-safe
- use ${DATADIR}
- instead of installing docs to ${DATADIR}, respect NOPORTDOCS and intall
to ${DOCSDIR}
- take maintainership
### SECURITY BUGFIX ###
- Fetchnews: when a. minlines=0 (default) and b. delaybody=0 (default) and
either c. no filterfile is configured (default) or a. and b. and d.
article_despite_filter=1 are configured, an article with missing mandatory
headers and without body can hang fetchnews and/or prevent the fetch of
further articles from the current group or server.
Reported by Toni Viemerö, SourceForge bug 873149.
This was a denial-of-service bug, not one that could lead to local or remote
privilege escalation.
