Changelog:
* Update FSF addresses.
* caff: tweak documentation.
* caff: note that mailed keys are encrypted (suggested by Sune Vuorela).
* caff: You can now specify additional arguments to pass to the
send method of Mail::Mailer. This allows you to send mails via
SMTP and use authentication for instance. Thanks to Martin von Gagern.
* gpg-key2ps, keylookup: make them less dependent on specific
installation paths and thus better portable outside of Debian
(Closes: #354142).
- Replace patch with official fix 'Filter on Target' link (fix#148).
- Fix alert summary exception with alert including file permission (fix#149).
- Fix creation of an empty __init__.py file in lib/site-packages (#147).
- Print currently installed version on libpreludedb requirement error.
- Make sure /usr/bin/env is expanded.
- Improve idmef-path error reporting.
- Rework configure script so that it use --with[out] in
place of --(en|dis)able where we deal with external dependencies.
- Rework configure script so that --with[out] work as expected (enabling and
disabling the feature, explicit error if "with" feature is explicitly
specified but the feature it is unavailable, etc).
- Rework SNMPService class for IDMEF draft 16 compliance.
- Make sure we set alert CreateTime if the caller did not do it for us.
- Fix handling of \r\n terminated line.
- Ignore character that are part of the option value when comparing
option specified using --option=value. Fix handling of parent option.

- make the installation a bit more sane and easier to configure.
2.2.7:
======
Nessus 2.2.7 contains several fixes for bugs which have been found
during the 3.x developement process and have been backported to this
branch. It also slightly extends the NASL language by adding support for
arrays of arrays. We will use this feature in some key plugins (SMB in
particular) within 6 months, so you should definitely upgrade to 2.2.7
or 3.0.x.
nessus-libraries:
- Fixed a NULL pointer dereferencement in the BPF server (this mostly
affects OpenBSD and FreeBSD < 5)
- The 'service' functions now only deal with the services file provided
- with Nessus (instead of using a mix of /etc/services and others)
libnasl:
- Fixed off-by-one bugs in insstr() and str_replace() which would
sometimes prevent these two functions from properly dealing with the
last character of a string
- Fixed tcp_ping() which was too aggressive and may therefore sometimes
miss a live host
- Fixed a bug in send() which would not properly validate the value of the
'length' variable
- Now handle arrays of arrays
- Fixed open_priv_sock_tcp() which would report a successful connection
when timing out
nessusd:
- Properly install the file 'nessus-services' in $prefix/var/nessus/
- Bigger buffer when receiving preferences from the client (to avoid a
possible truncation of the plugin list in the future)
- Fixed a bug in the preferences parser which would cause nessusd to die
on startup when processing a malformed preference file
nessus client:
- Fixed an unlikely but potential segmentation fault when viewing the
report in the GUI
- Erase the credentials from memory after having used them (thanks to
Sumiut Siddhart for noticing this)
plugins:
- Fixed several bugs in find_services.c which would not properly set the
key Transport/SSL or which may read some data beyond its buffer
- Fixed a bad #if/#endif clause in nessus_tcp_scanner.c which prevented it
from recomputing the RTT, hence negatively impacting the performance
- nmap.nasl has been removed from the main distribution (to use nmap from
within Nessus read http://www.nessus.org/documentation/?doc=nmap-usage)
Add --confirm option and corresponding regression tests for Debian bug 296382.
Thanks to Liyang HU for the patch. Also add initialization for $ssh_timeout
which was being inherited from the environment and add regression tests for
--timeout
- Enable write notification on queued write (Fix reverse relaying).
- Fix IDMEF message scheduler warning when plugin failover is enabled.
- Fix reverse relaying on some architecture due to thread safety
issue.
- Server scalability improvement in case of message burst.
- Start work on a normalization plugin. Very simple for now, mostly
sanitize IDMEF Address and IDMEF Service classes.
- When an analyzer have read and write permission to prelude-manager,
avoid acting as an echo server, don't send received message from this
analyzer to itself.
- When no listen address is specified, try to bind all
system address (both ipv4/ipv6).
- Send an alert to the peer on handshake failure, so that
the peer have some information on what happened.
- Consistency work accross all plugin logfile option.
- Various bug fixes and improvements.
Changes:
- Fix Perl/Python bindings uint64 handling on 32 bits machine.
- Make preludedb_check_version available from Perl/Python bindings.
- Use new IDMEF_LIST_APPEND primitive, require libprelude 0.9.6.
- Add libprelude dependencie to SQL plugins, since they depend on
libprelude symbols. Fix compilation problem with some distribution.
- Use global transaction surrounding all operation in preludedb-admin,
this bring a major performance improvement for insert operation.
- API improvement.
include:

saslauthd/krbtf.h (added), saslauthd/krbtf.c (added),
saslauthd/cfile.h (added), saslauthd/cfile.c (added),
saslauthd/Makefile.am: Kerberos V4/V5 alternate keytab
in saslauthd, plus common code merging (from David Eckhardt
via Dale Moore)

hashcash-1.22 - 08-Apr-2006 - Adam Back <adam@cypherspace.org>
[BUG FIXES]
hashcash-1.18 - 05-Jul-2005 - Adam Back <adam@cypherspace.org>
* add a simpler minting API to make it easier to mint stamps
from VB scripting
hashcash-1.17 - 30-Mar-2005 - Adam Back <adam@cypherspace.org>
[BUG FIXES]
hashcash-1.15 - 12-Jan-2005 - Adam Back <adam@cypherspace.org>
* make "Hashcash:" be accepted as well as "X-Hashcash:"
suggestion by Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>. This way
if/when the X- is dropped from hashcash headers we will not
have a backwards compatibility problem. (Well not after
version 1.15).
* implement the -Z option to compress stamps; in fact the
usage changed so -Z takes an argument: 0, 1 or 2. 0 = not
compressed, 1 = compressed but not so the counter + padding
is split, and 2 = very compressed, but slow. (Due to a late
discovered bug 2 is the same as 1 for now until I can fix
that.)
* added -O x -sv to request benchtest of core x only
* make code work with -DOPENSSL, think this slipped during
integration of Jonathan's libfastmint as it uses some lower
level openssl APIs internally. I fixed it but it might be
a bit openssl version specific, if they changed the state
fields at any point. (This change coincidentally I think
should work around the linking with openssl problem that Hal
Finney <hal@finney.org> reported).
* add libhashcash.a intermediate target to make hashcash more
convenient to link into other software on linux. (A
suggestion from Hal Finney who was trying to link to his
RPOW system.)
hashcash-1.14 - 14-Dec-2004 - Adam Back <adam@cypherspace.org>
* make hashcash -cX accept continuation lines starting with
space as well as tab
* add library function to wrap lines and use it from hashcash
command line tool.
* fix long vs time_t prototype mismatch that was giving
compile errors on BSD; also cleaned up some warnings that
can be obtained with gcc -Wall.
PKGLOCALEDIR and which install their locale files directly under
${PREFIX}/${PKGLOCALEDIR} and sort the PLIST file entries. From now
on, pkgsrc/mk/plist/plist-locale.awk will automatically handle
transforming the PLIST to refer to the correct locale directory.
RECOMMENDED is removed. It becomes ABI_DEPENDS.
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED.foo becomes BUILDLINK_ABI_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.foo becomes BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS does not change.
IGNORE_RECOMMENDED (which defaulted to "no") becomes USE_ABI_DEPENDS
which defaults to "yes".
Added to obsolete.mk checking for IGNORE_RECOMMENDED.
I did not manually go through and fix any aesthetic tab/spacing issues.
I have tested the above patch on DragonFly building and packaging
subversion and pkglint and their many dependencies.
I have also tested USE_ABI_DEPENDS=no on my NetBSD workstation (where I
have used IGNORE_RECOMMENDED for a long time). I have been an active user
of IGNORE_RECOMMENDED since it was available.
As suggested, I removed the documentation sentences suggesting bumping for
"security" issues.
As discussed on tech-pkg.
I will commit to revbump, pkglint, pkg_install, createbuildlink separately.
Note that if you use wip, it will fail! I will commit to pkgsrc-wip
later (within day).
"unix_random.c in lshd for lsh 2.0.1 leaks file descriptors related
to the randomness generator, which allows local users to cause a denial
of service by truncating the seed file, which prevents the server from
starting, or obtain sensitive seed information that could be used to
crack keys."
