  Bug#482483: usplash crashes machine during startup         


Author: Tim Richardson
Date: May 22, 2008 22:40

Package: usplash
Version: 0.5.19-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

I installed usplash onto kernel 2.6.25-2
In non-quiet mode, the boot process displays messages.
The console becomes garbled at the bottom of the screen (looks like
white noise) and
then then the machine hangs shortly into
the boot process.

In quite mode, gdm appears not to start and I can not access any virtual
terminals. I must force the computer to shutdown.

Dell d420.

  Bug#482476: [PATCH] Security: Unsafe lock file creation can be used to truncate arbitrary files         


Author: Bryan Donlan
Date: May 22, 2008 22:20

tags 482476 + patch security
thanks

I have made a patch to prevent GetLock() from following symlinks. For
added measure I've also removed O_TRUNC; since the lock file should be
empty anyway, there's no need to truncate it again. Applies cleanly
against 0.4.11 and 0.4.13.
