Attention to Debian users;

I've prepared the fixed package and also contacted to Debian Security Team for
an urgent security upload.  Since then you may wish to update your package from
the following URL:

  http://l10n-turkish.alioth.debian.org/debian/elog_2.5.7+r1558-1_i386.deb

Or you can also make an update via apt-get by adding the below line to your
'/etc/apt/sources.list' file:

  deb http://l10n-turkish.alioth.debian.org/debian/ ./

> The second vulnerability had to do with write passwords. If you put a "write
> password = xxx" statement into your config file, it was still possible to
> download the config file with a special hand-written URL, and decode the
> write password, which is usually only base-64 encoded unless you haven't
> compiled elog with the -DHAVE_CRYPT flag.

FYI, Debian package has already been compiled with this flag.

Thanks a lot. I applied your patch and committed the changes to CVS.

If you have a space in a logbook name and you enable password list, then 
the "List" menu option forces you to the login page each time.
The URL says "aaa+bbb", but when you do not have passwords enabled, the 
URL is "aaa bbb"

Thanks for reporting this. I fixed it in the current CVS version.
  976   Tue Mar 8 17:31:55 2005 Question Benjamin Brownbrownbr@hotmail.comQuestionLinux2.5.7Compilation flag/file question
If I want to go to the latest CVS release, what files do I have to compile
along with the elogd.c file?  Also, do I need to use any special gcc flags
for the compilation?  Thanks.

You need elogd.c, mxml.c and regex.c, the Makefile you can get from CVS as well
