Buffer overflow allows applets to gain privileges via a GIF image with a
block with a 0 width field, which triggers memory corruption and possible
execution of arbitrary code.
- use system libz instead of internal one. internal libz conflicts with
system libz, for example apps using JNI & libz will fail (OOo).
- enable parallel hotspot compiles on mp systems (one per cpu). no pthreads
involved so its safe to do here.
- socket option corrections. may help Active MQ work.
while creating/destroying threads.
- add missing pthread_attr_destroy while creating threads. closes a
small memory leak.
Memory leaking problems reported by Carsten Raskgaard and also
David SH Rosenthal from the LOCKSS project.
undiscovered bug in the SignatureHandlerLibrary. Code generated at runtime
was put into malloc()'ed memory and later attempted to execute it without
first making it executable with mprotect(). Debugging suggestions and help
from tom@, weingart@, marc@, millert@. Thx!
- make sure linux emulation is on for the build phase. needed if you reboot
after extracting.
okay tom@
stack. When forking, the child process deallocates the threads stacks it
inheritated from the parent. The junk malloc option then attempts to write
to the deallocated memory and segfaults because its not all writable. The
child proc stays in a SIGSEGV loop when this happens. okay ian@
