20:02:53 <tarazed> Hi there Bill
20:03:34 <wilcal> Lets move to
20:03:36 <wilcal> #topic Testing Updates
20:03:53 <wilcal> As always thanks to all for cutting the list way way down
20:04:17 <wilcal> But we do have an urgent matter in there
20:04:31 <bri_an> kernel?
20:04:46 <wilcal> I'm pretty sure tis is the kernel I heard about
20:04:47 <wilcal> https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26308
20:04:49 <[mbot> [ 26308 – Update request: sympa-6.2.42-1.1.mga7 ]
20:05:08 <wilcal> There's a serious 17-year old fault in there
20:05:28 <wilcal> so we need to get that back to tmb bost haste
20:05:57 <hviaene> That's a consolation for me.
20:06:29 <tarazed> hat is the fault
20:06:37 <tarazed> What
20:06:41 <wilcal> If this is not the one tmb will bring an update to this bug quickly
20:07:11 <wilcal> This one is everywhere but has not been exployed yet
20:07:28 <wilcal> I heard about it a couple days ago
20:08:12 <rindolf> hi all
20:08:20 <wilcal> The user can get root privilages
20:08:32 <tarazed> Hi Shlomi
20:08:36 <wilcal> hi rin
20:08:54 <wilcal> Hot bug on the list. It's the kernel
20:09:33 <wilcal> 17-year latent problem that gets root privilage
20:09:54 <wilcal> Has not been exploited yet
20:09:56 <rindolf> wilcal: which bug? 26308 is for sympa
20:10:00 <wilcal> but will soon
20:10:10 <MageiaTJ> The kernel is bug 26331.
20:10:12 <[mbot> Bug: ['Update request: kernel-5.5.9-1.mga7', 'NEW', 'QA Team'] https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26331
20:10:19 <wilcal> Yes
20:10:58 <tarazed> tmb has not  yet posted the advisory
20:11:24 <wilcal> So goal is to get this fix published by Monday latest
20:12:09 <bri_an> sympa or kernel wilcal?
20:12:35 <wilcal> kernel
20:13:10 <rindolf> wilcal: kernel 5.5.9 seems to work fine on my x64 mga8/cauldron system in case it matters
20:13:18 <hviaene> What are you saying now ? is testing this update urgent, or do we have to wait on tmb??
20:13:31 <wilcal> test asap
20:13:36 <hviaene> OK
20:14:04 <tarazed> running fine here as well
20:14:08 <wilcal> I ran across some sense of urgency on the internet, security podcasts
20:14:43 <wilcal> I'm sure it's some wierd thing but if you explot it you can get root privaliges
20:15:20 <wilcal> Quite some concern for systems running from ROM chips
20:15:46 <wilcal> Which being around for 17-years is probably considerable
20:16:44 <wilcal> That's really the only thing to talk about today
20:16:54 <wilcal> and thanks to all for cutting the list down to where it is
20:17:45 <MageiaTJ> Working on a test on my old Inspiron now...
20:17:50 <wilcal> anything else on udates testing?
20:18:01 <wilcal> thks
20:18:24 <wilcal> Lets make this short and move on
20:18:28 <wilcal> #topic Anything else?
20:19:10 <wilcal> My new adopted town here is taking a wicked beating the last days
20:19:57 <wilcal> One convention of 90,000+ visitors in April cancelled. That's gotta hurt
20:20:35 <MageiaTJ> Syracuse has postponed Saturday's St. Patrick's parade. First time ever.
20:20:48 <hviaene> Here all gatherings of more than 100 persons all cancelled
20:20:50 <MageiaTJ> Syracuse, NY.

20:21:19 <hviaene> That - for the first time ever, includes church services
20:21:41 <wilcal> If you book a flight on Spirit Airlines 2-weeks out you get $21.40 one way
