Security
About: AppSamurai is a mod_perl based system to protect vulnerable or
sensitive Web applications. The target use is in reverse proxy
configurations, with an Apache/mod_perl reverse proxy inside a DMZ and a
backend Web server in another DMZ or an internal network. AppSamurai's
features include a modular, multi-factor authentication system, form based
or basic auth based logins, encrypted storage of session data on a proxy,
the ability to use any Apache::Session storage type (including databases
for clustered deployment), and the ability to configure it from
httpd.conf.
Changes: This release adds nonce and signature to the login.pl login form

[017] - Goba 891
by Erkki Seppälä (http://freshmeat.net/users/eras/)
Sun, May 4th 2008 07:11
Games/Entertainment :: Real Time Strategy
About: Goba (Game Of Bases) is a remake of the classic Flash Attack game
featuring pre-rendered graphics, sound, and networking (no computer
opponents) with meta-server support. You control four tanks and try to
destroy enemy bases while defending your own. The tanks have weapons, a
set of mines, and the capability to build walls and fake bases, all of
which may be recharged back at the base. The bases have a limited number
of bomb attacks in their disposal, plus a laser beam that can cut through
the whole game field (2000 x 2000 pixels).
Changes: This release fixes an issue with constantly opening the font
file, which eventually lead to a crash. You may now click a location for a

Games/Entertainment :: Role-Playing
Terminals :: Telnet
About: KildClient is a MUD client written with the GTK+ windowing toolkit.
It supports many common features of other clients, such as triggers, gags,
aliases, macros, timers, and much more. But its main feature is the
built-in Perl interpreter. At any moment, the user can execute Perl
statements and functions to do things much more powerful than simply
sending text the the MUD. Perl statements can also be run, for example, as
the action of a trigger, allowing you to do complex things.
Changes: This version fixes the bug in Ubuntu 8.04 and some other
problems, and brings some new functions, especially for Perl scripting.

by Folkert van Heusden (http://freshmeat.net/users/fvh/)
Sun, May 4th 2008 14:02
Security
About: libprngwrap is a preload-library (so that it doesn't require any
changes to the software it alters) which replaces the libc rand() random()
and *rand48() calls by code that gets data from /dev/urandom. This might be
a little bit more secure.
Changes: The previous version would occasionally return values out of the
range specified in the specs. This has been fixed.

[026] - libsixdof 0.0.2
by Ben Martin (http://freshmeat.net/users/monkeyiq/)
Sun, May 4th 2008 23:32
Multimedia :: Graphics :: 3D Modeling
About: libsixdof provides C and C++ interfaces to 6 degrees of freedom
devices. The library is intended to be very unobtrusive to an application,
allowing support to be implemented without great effort. For example, an
application might only need to issue 3-4 API calls to tell libsixdof about
Xwindow objects that it should monitor. Apart from those setup calls,
functions that are useful for controllers should be registered with
libsixdof. The configuration of the device (how its axis movements map to
these registered functions) is then taken care of completely by libsixdof.
The application doesn't really need to care what 6dof device is attached,
where it is attached (USB, etc.), what its name is, or if there is more
than one.
Changes: Button binding support was added. The API was extended to allow
an application to have more than one window managed by libsixdof. The
public C++ interface is now pure virtual to help future extensions to
avoid breaking ABI compatability.

[031] - MeTA1 1.0.PreAlpha26.0
by Claus Assmann (http://freshmeat.net/users/casmx/)
Sun, May 4th 2008 23:30
About: MeTA1 is a modularized message transfer agent (MTA) consisting of
five (or more) persistent processes, four of which are multi-threaded. A
queue manager controls SMTP servers and SMTP clients to receive and send
email messages, an address resolver provides lookups in various maps
(including DNS) for mail routing, and a main control program starts the
other processes and watches over their execution. The queue manager
organizes the flow of messages through the system and provides measures to
avoid overloading the local or remote systems by implementing a central
control instance. It is simple to configure using a C-like syntax and is
secure and efficient.
Changes: The value part of a mailertable entry can now follow the same
syntax as the MeTA1 configuration file. This is another step to use the
syntax rules also in all maps for consistency and flexibility.

[033] - nss-ldapd 0.6.2
by Arthur (http://freshmeat.net/users/tiearthur/)
Sun, May 4th 2008 14:13
System :: Networking :: LDAP
System :: Systems Administration
About: nss-ldapd is a (glibc) NSS module for doing name lookups to an LDAP
server. This module allows retrieval of information about Unix accounts,
groups, hosts, and other information from an LDAP directory. It is a fork
from the nss_ldap module to do some architectural changes. This
implementation splits the functionality into an NSS part and a local
daemon to do the lookups. This works around a number of problems in the
original implementation.
Changes: This release mainly fixes a number of bugs in 0.6.1 and adds some
new functionality, mainly to add support for Active Directory. The timing
and retry mechanisms have been changed, and some speed improvements should
be noticeable with very large installations.

About: ODB is a clean Python interface around multiple database back-ends.
It currently wraps Berkeley DB (through the bsddb3 module) and its own
native data storage system which is written in 100% Python.
Changes: The license was switched from a non-standard BSD-ish license to
LGPLv3. The b-tree code was rewritten from the ground up to make it more
general and robust. The "blist" table type was implemented. Blists are a
btree implementation of a random-access sequence. The package and module
level documentation was improved.

Changes: A login bypass SQL injection attack has been fixed. A remote SQL
exploit to gather user data by unauthorized user in listing.php has been
fixed. Unauthorized user escalation in the admin section has been fixed.
An SQL attack vulnerability that allowed unauthorized users to change
database entries has been fixed.

etc., and to implement house rules such as differing class or race
restrictions. Level advancement is also supported, with configurable
progressions of feats, skills and ability score bonuses. For "at the
table" support, PCGen offers a set of GM plugins. Further options allow
the user to produce a customized character sheet, which can then be viewed
in, or printed from, the user's WWW browser. It can also produce a "party"
sheet with the information needed by the GM.
Changes: Of special note for this release is the addition of a new source
dataset based upon Alderac Entertainment Group's Gods sourcebook.
Additionally, there have been a few feature additions and bugfixes
included in this release.

[039] - RapidXml 1.11
by kaalus (http://freshmeat.net/users/kaalus/)
Sun, May 4th 2008 14:07
About: RapidXml is an attempt to create the fastest XML DOM parser
possible, while retaining useability, portability, and reasonable W3C
compatibility. It is an in-situ parser written in C++, with parsing speed
approaching that of strlen() function executed on the same data. The
entire parser is contained in a single header file, so no building or
configuration is necessary. It has no dependencies other than a very small
subset of standard C++ library, which can be easily emulated manually if
use of standard library is not desired.
Changes: This release fixes a potential memory overrun bug when calling
the memory_pool::clear() function when static and dynamic pool sizes are
different.

[044] - Spindown 0.2
by Dimitri (http://freshmeat.net/users/neonecro/)
Sun, May 4th 2008 13:57
System
System :: Hardware
About: Spindown is a daemon to spin down idle disks and thus save energy
and give the disks a longer lifetime. It also works with USB disks and
hot-swappable disks because it uses the device ID to identify the disk
instead of the device name (such as hda or sdb). This means that it
doesn't matter if the disk is swapped while the daemon is running.
Changes: Now you can set the spindown time for every individual disk, and
reload the settings by sending a SIGHUP to spindownd.

minor bug was fixed in col.py: the registry must be passed to findClass().
The patch to declarative.threadSafeMethod() has been reverted; it caused
more harm than good.
