[CentOS] gpg2 (GnuPG) Security Update for CentOS 6.10
Where do I get an update for gpg2 (GnuPG) for CentOS 6.10 that is compliant with CVE-2018-12020? I'm trying to update gpg2 (GnuPG GNU Privacy Guard) on my fully updated CentOS 6.10 computer to comply with CVE-2018-12020. My system has gpg2 package gnupg2-2.0.14-8.el6.x86_64.rpm This package does not appear to be compliant with CVE-2018-12020. I can not find and update anywhere. I have tried downloading the upstream version 2.2.8 from GnuPG.org but am having trouble building it for CentOS 6.10 primarily due to a requirement for a newer version of glibc. I'm getting the error undefined reference to 'clock_gettime' and have not been able to resolve it Any suggestions on where to download the update or when an update might be available or how to build gpg2 version 2.2.8 for CentOS 6 is appreciated. Thanks,Ed ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] CentOS 6.10 Boot Xorg Issues with Kernels 2.6.32-754
Brian, There is a kernel bug that seems to affect systems with older Intel processors. I have a Dell Laptop that on bootup of kernel 2.6.32-754.3.5.el6.x86_64 will display a white square in the upper left corner of the screen and halt. If I roll back to the 2.6.32-696.30.1.el6.x86_64 version kernel all is well.

Re: [CentOS] External HD partitioning & formatting considerations
I second that. exFAT is the way to go. Support is built in for the Mac and Windows and even Linux Mint. Support is easily installed for CentOS and Ubuntu. Looks like there was some compatability issues if the exFAT drive was formatted on a Mac. So be sure to format the drive on Windows or Linux. The maximum file size is 16 exabytes and 512 TB is the maximum recommended disk drive size. We use it at work to transfer large files between Windows, Mac and Linux using external drives.

Re: [CentOS] firefox unable to load pkcs11 module
Hi Tony, Have you solved this problem yet?I took another approach and used CACkey which supportsUS Government PIV cards including the CAC. In my case I set it up on Linux Mint but there is an rpm version of CACKey for 32 or 64 bit Centos.Here is the process I went through. - setup CAC card by following instructions on: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonAccessCard sudo apt-get install libpcsclite1 pcscd pcsc-tools - download CACkey from https://cackey.rkeene.org/fossil/index sudo dpkg -i cackey_0.7.5-1_amd64.deb The above command failed with: "dpkg: error processing archive cackey_0.7.5-1_amd64.deb (--install): unable to create '/libcackey.so.dpkg-new' (while processing './usr/lib64/libcackey.so'): No such file or directory dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: cackey_0.7.5-1_amd64.deb" - as root I created the directory /usr/lib64 and ran the command again!!It Worked!!! - ran command pcsc_scan and it found my CAC - had to manually install the DoD root certificates - certificates were manually installed one at a time for both Thunderbird and Firefox It turned out to be much easier than I thought it would to get my PIV working on a Linux machine.
