Hi, Fresh ISO images of Owl-current for x86 and x86-64 (generated yesterday, on October 25) are available on our FTP mirrors. There are also direct download links on the Owl homepage:
http://www.openwall.com/Owl/ These ISOs use Linux 2.4.37.6-ow1 as the kernel, and, compared to last month's ISO snapshots, they contain updated versions of many packages (vsftpd, iptables, passwdqc, cpio, e2fsprogs, strace, VIM, and xinetd), as well as minor changes to some other packages. As usual, the major changes are documented: http://www.openwall.com/Owl/CHANGES-current.shtml Speaking of the kernel, Linux 2.4.37.6 fixes a number of information leak vulnerabilities. One of these was already fixed in 2.4.37.5-ow1 (as used in last month's Owl-current ISOs), and the remaining ones may or may not affect specific systems depending on both kernel and userspace configuration. The 2.4.37.6-ow1 patch additionally fixes a typo in one of the information leak fixes (CVE-2009-3612).
