[ilugd] FLOSS "Concept Booklet" WIKI!
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 The FLOSS Concept Booklet Wiki is online at http://wikibooks.org/wiki/FLOSS_Concept_Booklet For those who are not exactly clear on what a wiki is, it's a collaborative Web site comprised of the collective work of many authors. Similar to a blog in structure and logic, a wiki allows anyone to easily edit, delete or modify content that has been placed there. This method of working, apart from being a literal application of the collaborative opensource methodology will allow many many more people than would otherwise be possible to contribute. The more the people who read, comment and modify, the denser will be this resource base, so please, people, contribute! The original introduction to the FLOSS Concept Booklet that I had posted in my earlier mail is appended with the appropriate modifications: Hello. I work in a non-profit organisation (www.sarai.net) that is deeply involved in and committed to Free/Libre/Open Source Software. We're in the process of creating and publishing a Concept Booklet on Free/Libre/Open Source Software that will, hopefully, be accessible even to people with an extremely limited understanding of computers and absolutely no knowledge of open source/free/libre software. In collaboration with one such layperson, we created a set of questions on FLOSS and are in the process of generating the answers and the additional content for the concept booklet. We'd be thrilled if you people would contribute as many answers as you can to the questions that are outlined in the wiki. Of course, please feel free to comment on the existing questions and to make additions to them. All contributions will be gratefully acknowledged. The booklet will either be published under the Creative Commons/Share Alike License or the GNU Free Documentation License and distributed free or at a nominal cost. We will, of course, be providing a full version online, including print-quality PDFs. This call for contributions from the wider community interested in free/libre/open source software is an effort to extend the methodology used in creating free software into the arena of collaborative publishing. All contributions, no matter how small, trivial or they might seem, are extremely valuable to us. Please, do take the time to read the questions and contribute, if possible. I apologise to those who are subscribed to two or more of the lists to which this is posted for the crosspost. Please feel free to forward this email to people or entities that you feel might be helpful. cheers, - -- Aniruddha 'Karim' Shankar The Sarai Programme Key ID: 0xA037AD2B Public Key Fingerprint: 9167 C0E7 A679 0906 7E47 83C0 8499 2B77 A037 AD2B To get my public key, search http://pgp.mit.edu for my email id.

This time though - we didnt have enough speakers in time to conduct the general meet on the 3rd sunday (and we only have to blame ourselves - i.e. members of the Linux Delhi group, and definitely not Tarun Dua) - hence it was postponed to 4th sunday. (I, the DUMB me, also made it ambiguous in one of the mails by saying "last sunday" instead of 4th sunday - confusing things early on.. Sorry about that) Given that both meets are being held at the same time, lets not try to fight/find faults etc - lets simply conduct both the meets and see/learn from the proceedings etc..

As far as people categorizing general meets as that for sysadmins etc - I find that very immature mostly - There is much in common between both the meets and given that the meets will be held on separate days from next month - we can have talks of appropriate level in both the meets (like we will not have a talk on how good "APT" is - in the devel meets)..

Hi everybody, We are looking for people who are interested in doing RHCE. We will sit together and study in a group. I have already undergone the RHCE course from a reputated institute, but have found that studying from some institute will be difficult than studying in group. It will be very good if you have Ur PC so we all can practice. Let me tell about RHCE exam... It is a totally practical exam and We have to configure/troubleshoot/setup Red Hat Enterprise edition in front of invigilators. So we guys will practice all this on our systems before exam.

[ilugd] The two ILUGD meets this time: An Explanation
Hi All, >> Why does one have to choose between one of the two? Blame me for that, read on. > Then we will have to chuk the Linux tools meet idea, No I think even if we are having two meets that is ok once in a while. Delhi is big enough for two meets.

Next month onwards :-( > Well we have been trying to schedule the two > seperately, but the main meet has got delayed (from > 3rd to 4th sunday) and sarai has been booked in > advance for 4th sunday. I had assumed from Mary's mails(on the devel list) that last Sunday would be the developers meet. This time the speakers didn't volunteer too soon(not that I had mailed in good time calling for speakers) I delayed it to 4rth Sunday. We have been preparing for the Dev. meet since a long time with speakers confirmed almost a month ago. When I checked with Mary if we could delay the devel meet he told me that he had already invited quite a few people at Sarai and it can't be postponed. We considered postponing the ILUGD General meet to 5th Sunday but we had already invited the speakers, booked the venue(Yash graciously accepted the role of the coordinator), invited the audience so postponing it was deemed infeasible. Next month will see me assisting in the coordination (along with the coordinator of general meet) of the general meet to be held on 3rd Sunday and Vivek to stick with assisting in coordination (along with the coordinator of Devel Meet) of the devel meet to be held on 4rth Sunday. We have star speakers in both the meets and we expect a decent sized audience at both the meets considering the number of phone calls that the meet coordinators have received. We will try to ensure that next month we don't have a clash of dates. In the meanwhile all the volunteers (yes we are always short of them: mail me or Vivek offlist if you wish to contribute as a volunteer) are working for success of both the meets. Hope this is treated as a white paper on the whole issue and we treat this as closed for further discussion onlist. -Tarun ___ ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/

[ilugd] ilugd Developers meet, Sunday 23rd may 2004
Hi! Everyone A developers meet is going to be conducted under the banner of ilugd, this sunday 23rd may 2004 at sarai, 29 Rajpur Road Delhi, begining from 2 pm (1400hrs for those who travel by boeing). This meting is going to be conducted in parallel to the ilugd main meet. So, everyone has to choose between one of the two (schedule and agenda for main meet can be found in the previous mails of TarunDua at ilugd mailing list archieves). The schedule for developers meet is as following: 1. Talk by Sirtaj Sing (KDE) Kang: Overview of how applications are developed on KDE and overview of PyQT. 2. Talk by Nirendra Awasthi : Localization of websites. DNS, javascript, encoding, html 3. Speak ur mind : An open discussion (among attendees) on different technologies, everyone is free to discuss any technology, coding/designing problems, there doubts and experiences with technologies. Standby speaker Vivek khurana: Introduction to wxPython. Directions to reach sarai. Come to ISBT and turn towards Tis Hazari Courts. Just before Tis Hazari Metro Station (at the begining of metro station) there is a red light. Take a right turn from that red light. Keep driving straight (this is Rajpur Road sarai is 1.5 km down the road). Cross the next redlight and keep driving straight. You will see Rukmani devi Jaiouria school on ur right hand, just go straight, 200m down the line u will see 29 Rajpur Road (the name plate reads CSDS) come inside and ask for Sarai. Once Again, Meeting is this sunday 23rd may 2004 at SARAI, 29 Rajpur Road delhi from 2 pm onwards. Hope to see several of memebers. Regards VK = I was born Intelligent, but EDUCATION Ruined me.

[ilugd] Fedora Core 2 out, but ...
Fedora Core 2 final [1] was released on 18th EST[2]. However before upgrading to it watch out for two major problems with it: 1. Resizing of partition table using FC2 on dual-boots with Windows XP may render your Windows installation unbootable. [3] Probably happens because FC2(or rather parted) changes partition table to use CHS instead of LBA. 2. NVidia drivers wont work with the kernel shipped with FC2. To get your nvidia drivers working, you got to get a new kernel, recompile it after disabling a couple of config options in it.[4] The rest, enjoy! :) - Sandip [1]http://fedora.redhat.com/ [2] http://slashdot.org/articles/04/05/18/156213.shtml?tid=106&tid=110&tid=185&tid=187 [3] http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=115980 [4] http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=26745 -- Sandip Bhattacharya sandip (at) puroga.com Puroga Technologies Pvt.

[ilugd] (fwd) Advisory 07/2004: CVS remote vulnerability
[Please upgrade if you run a CVS server -- Raju] This is an RFC 1153 digest. (1 message) -- Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> From: Stefan Esser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Full-Disclosure] Advisory 07/2004: CVS remote vulnerability Date: Wed, 19 May 2004 08:38:08 +0200 -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 e-matters GmbH www.e-matters.de -= Security Advisory =- Advisory: CVS remote vulnerability Release Date: 2004/05/19 Last Modified: 2004/05/19 Author: Stefan Esser [EMAIL PROTECTED] Application: CVS feature release <= 1.12.7 CVS stable release <= 1.11.15 Severity: A vulnerability within CVS allows remote compromise of CVS servers. Risk: Critical Vendor Status: Vendor is releasing a bugfixed version. Reference: http://security.e-matters.de/advisories/072004.html Overview: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) is the dominant open-source version control software that allows developers to access the latest code using a network connection. Stable CVS releases up to 1.11.15 and CVS feature releases up to 1.12.7 both contain a flaw when deciding if a CVS entry line should get a modified or unchanged flag attached. This results in a heap overflow which can be exploited to execute arbitrary code on the CVS server. This could allow a repository compromise. Details: While auditing the CVS source a flaw within the handling of modified and unchanged flag insertion into entry lines was discovered. When the client sends an entry line to the server an additional byte is allocated to have enough space for later flagging the entry as modified or unchanged. In both cases the check if such a flag is already attached is flawed. This allows to insert M or = chars into the middle of a user supplied string one by one for every call to one of these functions. It should be obvious that already the second call could possibly overflow the allocated buffer by shifting the part after the insertion point one char backward. If the alignment of the block is choosen wisely this is already exploitable by malloc() off-by-one exploitation techniques. However carefully crafted commands allow the functions to be called several times to overwrite even more bytes (although this is not really needed if you want to exploit this bug on f.e. glibc based systems). Proof of Concept: e-matters is not going to release an exploit for this vulnerability to the public. Disclosure Timeline: 02. May 2004 - CVS developers and vendor-sec were notified by email Derek Robert Price replied nearly immediately that the issue is fixed 03. May 2004 - Pre-notification process of important repositories was started 11. May 2004 - Sourceforge discovered that the patch breaks compatibility with some pserver protocol violating versions of WinCVS/TortoiseCVS 12. May 2004 - Pre-notified repositories were warned about this problem with a more compatible patch. 19. May 2004 - Coordinated Public Disclosure CVE Information: The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0396 to this issue. Recommendation: Recommended is an immediate update to the new version. Additionally you should consider running your CVS server chrooted over SSH instead of using the :pserver: method.

[ilugd] (fwd) Advisory 08/2004: Subversion remote vulnerability
[Please upgrade immediately if you use Subversion -- Raju] This is an RFC 1153 digest. (1 message) -- Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> From: Stefan Esser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Full-Disclosure] Advisory 08/2004: Subversion remote vulnerability Date: Wed, 19 May 2004 08:39:54 +0200 -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 e-matters GmbH www.e-matters.de -= Security Advisory =- Advisory: Subversion remote vulnerability Release Date: 2004/05/19 Last Modified: 2004/05/19 Author: Stefan Esser [EMAIL PROTECTED] Application: Subversion <= 1.0.2 Severity: A vulnerability within Subversion allows remote compromise of Subversion servers. Risk: Critical Vendor Status: Vendor is releasing a bugfixed version. Reference: http://security.e-matters.de/advisories/082004.html Overview: Quote from: http://subversion.tigris.org "The goal of the Subversion project is to build a version control system that is a compelling replacement for CVS in the open source community. The software is released under an Apache/BSD-style open source license. Features of Subversion * Most current CVS features * Directories, renames, and file meta-data are versioned * Commits are truly atomic * Apache network server option, with WebDAV/DeltaV protocol * Standalone server option * Branching and tagging are cheap (constant time) operations * Natively client/server, layered library design * Client/server protocol sends diffs in both directions * Costs are proportional to change size, not data size * Efficient handling of binary files * Parseable output" Subversion versions up to 1.0.2 are vulnerable to a date parsing vulnerability which can be abused to allow remote code execution on Subversion servers and therefore could lead to a repository compromise. Details: Similar to the libneon issue a manual scan for common programming errors revealed an unsafe call to sscanf() in one of Subversions date parsing functions. When Subversions tries to convert a string into an apr_time_t it falls back to the vulnerable sscanf() to decode old-styled date strings. This function is exposed to an external attacker through a DAV2 REPORT query or a get-dated-rev svn-protocol command. Both ways have been proven exploitable, but exploiting through the DAV2 protocol is somewhat harder because the date string has to be in utf-8 format. On the other hand exploiting through the svn-protocol is a trivial standard stackoverflow with the exception that whitespace and the '\0' character is forbidden. And as a sidenotice: Exploiting this stackoverflow is even possible when Propolice or similar protections are in place because a lot of fancy things can be done by overwriting the function parameters. Proof of Concept: e-matters is not going to release an exploit for this vulnerability to the public. Disclosure Timeline: 02. May 2004 - Subversion developers and vendor-sec were notified by email 03. May 2004 - Subversion vendor started their own analysis of the issue and started compiling a list of big repositories to receive pre-notifications 11. May 2004 - Big subversion repositories (not already contacted through vendor-sec) got pre-notified 19. May 2004 - Coordinated Public Disclosure CVE Information: The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0397 to this issue. Recommendation: Exploiting this vulnerability on not heavily protected servers is trivial even for beginners, therefore it is strongly recommended to update immediately. Even Propolice users aren't safe because overwriting function arguments allows some fancy exploits.
