Audacity, Gear, GPG update in Tumbleweed
Snapshots of openSUSE Tumbleweed rolled out consistently this week.
The rolling release put out a snapshot everyday since Oct. 12 and this week brought a few major version updates as well as an update of KDE’s Gear.
The latest snapshot 20221019 came out a few hours ago and updated the Common Internet File System and user-space tool cifs-utils 7.0. The update fixed some warnings that included a compiler warning as well as the package fixing some memory allocation. The Netscape Portable Runtime package mozilla-nspr updated to version 4.35, and it had fixes for building with clang compiler. The package also uses a number of online processors on certain platforms. Mozilla’s mozilla-nss updated to version 3.83. The Network Security Services package removed older unix support, added two DigitalSign root certificates and changed configuration settings behavior to skip configs with unsupported mandatory extensions instead of these failing; this was focused on Encrypted Client Hello extensions. A few other packages updated in the snapshot.
GNOME’s encryption interface Seahorse updated to major version 43 in snapshot 20221018. This package joined the several other GNOME 43 Guadalajara packages that are already in the rolling release. The package fixed warnings related to authorized keys, and it disabled key sharing over DNS Service Discovery by default. An update of gpg2 2.3.8 fixed a problem with Yubikey 5.4 firmware and fixed a regression in READKEY --format=ssh. An update of libsoup 3.2.1 fixed a minor memory leak and libxml2 2.10.3 fixed an integer overflow, which addressed CVE-2022-40303; this had no effect on OpenStack Cloud’s 8 and 9. And cfg80211, which is configuration Application Programming Interfaces for 802.11 devices in Linux, had some changes with the 6.0.2 kernel-source update. It fixed a Block Starting Symbol refcounting bug and avoids a non-transmitted BSS list corruption. A change was made with the nodejs18 18.11.0 update; it added an experimental watch mode. Running in watch mode using node, watch restarts the process when an imported file is changed. Several other packages updated including libzypp 17.31.4, libgcrypt 4.4.28, yast2-network 4.5.9 and more.
