Lemonldap::NG is a modular Web SSO based on Apache::Session modules. It simplifies the building of a protected area with a few changes in the application. It manages both authentication and authorization and provides headers for accounting, so you can have full AAA protection for your Web space. Lemonldap::NG is a complete rewrite of Lemonldap. All components needed to use it and to administer it are included in the tarball. However, all modules developed for Lemonldap may not work with Lemonldap::NG.
Changes: This release corrects bugs like empty categories on the menu, links opened in new window option, portal configuration cache, and issues in Debian packaging.

SiLK (System for Internet-Level Knowledge) consists of two sets of tools: a packing system and an analysis suite. The packing system receives Netflow V5 PDUs or IPFIX and converts them into a more space efficient format, recording the packed records into service-specific binary flat files. The analysis suite consists of tools that can read these flat files and then perform various query operations, ranging from per-record filtering to statistical analysis of groups of records. The analysis tools interoperate using pipes, allowing a user to develop a relatively sophisticated query from a simple beginning.
Changes: Better handling of missing Netflow V5 records.

InfoWorld’s Woody Leonhard takes a look at the past 20 years of innovative Windows malware — an evolution that provides insights into the kinds of attacks to come. From macro viruses, to interstitial infections, to spray attacks, to industrial espionage, “there’s been a clear succession, with the means, methods, and goals changing definitively over time,” Leonhard writes, outlining the rise of Windows malware as a succession of ingenious breakthroughs to nefarious ends.
Debian has updated pam-pgsql (buffer
overflow) and avahi (denial of service).
Mandriva has updated samba (denial
of service).
openSUSE has updated t1lib
(arbitrary code execution).
Pardus has updated mit-kerberos
(denial of service), ruby (multiple
vulnerabilities), wireshark (code
execution), php (casting vulnerability),
and gimp (multiple vulnerabilities).
Ubuntu has updated kernel (6.06
LTS, 8.04 LTS, 9.10, 9.10
kubuntu, edubuntu, xubuntu: multiple vulnerabilities).
Several readers have pointed out this
interview with Maximilian Attems, posted by Raphaël Hertzog. Therein,
Maximilian states that, while the cross-distribution cooperation on the
2.6.32 kernel has been a great thing, Red Hat is making things harder by
shipping its RHEL 6 kernel source as one big tarball, without breaking
out the patches. Your editor has downloaded the 2.6.32-71.14.1.el6 source
package and verified that this is the case.
One of the key points behind the RPM and Debian package formats is that
source is shipped in its upstream form, with patches shipped separately and
applied at build time. Red Hat has always followed this convention; the
failure to do so with the RHEL 6 kernel is a new and discouraging
change of behavior. Distribution in this form should satisfy the GPL, but
it makes life hard for anybody else wanting to see what has been done with
this kernel. Hopefully it is simply a mistake which will be
corrected soon.
Squid is a high performance Web proxy cache that can be arranged hierarchically for an improvement in response times and a reduction in bandwith usage. Squid runs on all popular Unix and Windows platforms.
Changes: This release brings a long list of bug fixes and some further HTTP/1.1 improvements. Some small but cumulative memory leaks were found and fixed in Digest authentication and adaptation ACL processing. New limits are placed on memory consumption when uploading files and when using delay pools. Users of Squid-3 experiencing memory or large cache problems are urged to upgrade as soon as possible.
