This throw pillow is on my to-do list now. I love the simplicity of the two solid fabrics and the pop that little bit of pleated texture brings.

foodmathquiltsMarch 21, 2012 at 8:06 am
Thanks for sharing these sneak peaks! I am inspired to try more ruffles after using a bit of gathering to fit the skirt to the bodice of a dress I am making ( my first!) this is quite a leap for me since I love the neatness of rotary cut squares and HST's.

Thanks,
Sarah

The pleated cushion looks so luxurious, and the bags, and the quilt – in fact I want to make it all!
Erin JewellMarch 21, 2012 at 2:30 pm
so pretty I love the ruffles section, I want to make ruffled shams
pinksuedeshoeMarch 21, 2012 at 2:30 pm
I kid you not I just sketched out a quilt that looks almost exactly like that pillow, but 50 of them all together!
strandkorbtraumMarch 21, 2012 at 2:40 pm
the pleated flower or the cushion. I'm generally not much of a ruffle fluffle fan – but I like to pin flowers on my bags and jackets and that would be a new way for me and the cushion is not overly ruffly as it's enclosed and I quite like that effect.
NenaMarch 21, 2012 at 2:50 pm
Hello Amy – thanks for the opportunity – I think the shirred pillows are a great idea – and one I will make for our master! – what a brain spark can do for your outlook on a dreary day! Thank you!
Krista HansenMarch 21, 2012 at 3:04 pm
I think the bags and pillows would interest me first because that's out of the norm of my usual sewing. I would love to win! If not I hope to get it for my birthday…in July. Now would be more fun 🙂

Heather S.March 21, 2012 at 4:49 pm
I am still a very basic quilter so all of these techniques would be amazing to learn!

LeahMarch 21, 2012 at 5:20 pm
Love the quilt with the pleated edging… After making a Kilt, I'm not sure I'd attempt a quilt with all that pleating though.
LizMarch 21, 2012 at 5:21 pm
It looks like there are a lot of really fun projects in that book. Way to go Vanessa! 🙂

I have yet to make a bag that I didn't love, and I think I would really love to make the bag with the ruffle around it – using some solids and a vintage sheet perhaps…Or that pillow with the pleating is also calling my name. I have the sudden urge to make pillows to pizzazz up my living room. But first I have to get through a birthday party and Easter holidays before I tackle that!
LynMarch 21, 2012 at 6:28 pm
The book looks awesome!

Insanely Good Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins Recipe
Yes, these muffins are insanely good! Hard to believe they are low fat. Think baked oatmeal, but in the form of a muffin… so moist and they are just as good the next day.
Someone shared their oatmeal muffin recipe with me which was the base for this recipe, but I played around with the ingredients and made some modifications to make it over-the-top good! My husband said they were the BEST blueberry muffins he ever tasted, and my two year old thought they were cupcakes. Sadly, they are all gone now so I guess I'll have to whip up another batch next weekend.
Think of the variations you can come up with replacing the blueberries with raisins, apples or even chocolate chips!
1 1/2 cups quick oats*
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or skim milk)
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
2 tbsp agave (or sugar, honey)
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 egg whites
1 tbsp oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup white whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup fresh blueberries
baking spray
Preheat oven to 400°. Line a muffin tin with liners and lightly spray with oil.
Place oats in a food processor or chopper and pulse a few times. Soak oats in milk for about 30 minutes.
In a medium bowl combine brown sugar, agave, apple sauce, vanilla, egg whites, oil and mix well.
In a third bowl combine whole wheat flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and whisk to combine.
Combine oats and milk with sugar, applesauce mixture and mix well. Slowly add in the dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated. Fold in blueberries.
Spoon into the muffin tin and bake for 22-24 minutes.

Congress failed to strike a deal late Monday that would have kept the government funded, pushing the government to partially shut down on Tuesday and forcing about 800,000 federal workers off the job. (The last shutdown took place in early 1996.)
The current shutdown means that most nonessential federal programs and services are suspended — such as national parks and museums, NASA and the Environmental Protection Agency — while military employees, air traffic controllers, food inspectors and postal staffers keep working.
Mid-day Tuesday, President Obama delivered a speech in the Rose Garden, urging lawmakers to pass a budget that end the impasse. "We're better than this," the president said.
Still, some experts couldn't contain their frustration at the gridlock in Washington.
Citigroup (C) chief economist Willem Buiter compared the United States to the "Land of Oz run by the Munchkins" during an interview with CNBC on Tuesday. If (or when) the stock markets become concerned about the debt ceiling and the chance of a sovereign default, the shutdown "could become an economic disaster," Buiter said.
On Monday, Standard & Poor's warned that a deal must be reached by Oct. 17 or the Treasury would likely miss debt repayments and default on the country's roughly $17 trillion national debt, which would hurt the country's rating.
"If the U.S. is to default on even a small portion of its debt, it could pull the rug under the global economy," explained Buiter on CNBC. "U.S. sovereign debt is the linchpin of the global economy."
The way out of such an impasse, says Raymond James (RJF) economist Scott Brown, is for the Senate to come up with a bill that can win a majority vote in the House, perhaps a short-term continuing resolution or longer-term agreement.
"In the meantime, the impact on the economy and the financial markets will be a function of how long the government stays shut," Brown noted. "Debt ceiling negotiations loom following any agreement on the budget."
Partial shutdowns of the federal government cost the U.S. at least $300 million a day in lost economic output, according to IHS Global Insight. Furthermore, the research group projects that a weeklong shutdown would push its forecast of 2.2% annualized growth in the fourth quarter down to 2%.
Analysts at Janney Montgomery Scott anticipate a 21-day shutdown might weaken growth by 0.9 to 1.4 percentage points, according to a Bloomberg report.
Portfolio Picture
The '96 shutdown was unpopular with voters, says Wells Fargo Advisors chief macro-strategist Gary Thayer, and hurt Republicans in the next election cycle.
"Therefore lawmakers probably want to avoid a prolonged shutdown that could do similar political damage ahead of next year's midterm elections," Thayer wrote in a report on Tuesday.
Given the political pressure on Congress to make a deal, Wells Fargo Advisors is not changing its short-term economic or market outlook, according to Thayer.
"This could be a short-term event," he explained. "But a long-term shutdown would obviously have a negative impact on the economy, which could change our economic outlook and stock market targets."
Other observers agree.
"None of the government shutdowns since 1976 produced chaos in financial markets or prolonged speculation of default," said Rod Smyth, chief investment officer of Riverfront Investment Group, in a note to clients. Smyth added that his firm has not become defensive or moved to raise cash, so far.
Raymond James chief investment strategist Jeff Saut, along with Smyth and others, sees the market moving higher once the political impasse is over.
"I think the stock market is sufficiently oversold and will attempt to rally from here," Saut said in a note early Tueday. "But, [the S&P 500] needs to stay above 1,684 to convince."
Matt Coffina, editor of Morningstar StockInvestor, reminded investors in a video report posted Monday that during the threat of an earlier shutdown, the market "sold off quite a bit … and then the market rallied right back when it didn't actually happen."
Investors should expect "some elevated volatility in the near term here," Coffina explained. "But overall, I don't see any reason to go run out and panic and sell all of your common stocks. I'm certainly planning to stay the course with StockInvestor's portfolios."
Like others, Coffina acknowledges that shutdowns can hurt demand and hence, the economy, but "in the grand scheme of things," he says, "I think it's very unlikely that this budget impasse is really going to result in a material decrease in intrinsic value."
Silver Linings
Veteran Washington watcher Andrew Friedman says he's been expecting market volatility related to the "twin deadlines of funding the government and raising the debt ceiling" for some time.
The volatility, explains the principal of The Washington Update, should be short-lived — and could offer investors a silver lining.
"This is not to suggest that investors should sell equities in anticipation of a downturn, because they will not know when a compromise is imminent so they should buy back in," the former attorney wrote in his Tuesday outlook. "But market volatility due to a perception of Washington dysfunction could be a buying opportunity."
According to LPL Financial (LPLA) chief market strategist Jeffrey Kleintop, history "tells us [a shutdown] is not necessarily a bad thing for investors. The 16 government shutdowns over the past 40 years that have ranged from 1 to 21 days have not been particularly negative for stock market investors, averaging only a 2% decline for the S&P 500.
"More importantly, from a longer-term perspective they preceded above-average returns," Kleintop added in his Oct. 1 commentary. "The S&P 500 Index has risen 11% on average in the 12 months following the shutdowns, above the 9% for all periods. Notably, in the last government shutdown that took place 17 years ago in late 1995, the S&P 500 rose 21% in the following year."
The rise in stocks on Tuesday, after their weaking on Monday, "makes sense since given the long history of investor behavior around these events. and [the fact] that selling stocks on Washington's fiscal battles has been costly for investors in recent years as short term declines gave way to rallies," he explained.
Plus, the VIX, or volatility index, is currently around 16, not the 48 seen in August 2011, Kleintop shares, "when the debt ceiling was last the subject of a battle in Washington and stocks fell 17%."
Still, while it's good news that the markets are steady, a strong negative market reaction puts more pressure on politicians to compromise, the expert points out. "We continue to monitor events closely, but believe this is not a time for indiscriminate selling but instead for looking for opportunities to buy on weakness," he said."

Testing Is Not Verification and Vice Versa
Last week, I suggested by example that looking only at a program's externally visible behavior — black-box testing — can let major bugs go undetected. In particular, such testing cannot easily verify that a program will never behave (or misbehave) in a particular way, and that security considerations were one reason why such guarantees were often important.
Here is an example that makes this general claim concrete. I once used a time-sharing implementation of an interpretive language that was intended to be semantically safe: Every operation that a user could perform was intended to have a well-defined result (which might be a diagnostic message). To that end, the implementation checked for validity each individual operation that user programs performed as they did so.
Unfortunately, one of those checks contained a subtle bug: When a program tried to allocate a multidimensional array, the allocator computed the amount of memory it needed by multiplying the array's dimensions. Unfortunately, it forgot to check for overflow. As a result, a program could allocate a very large two-dimensional array — much larger than was actually capable of fitting in memory. For example, allocating a 222-by-214+1 array would compute a size of 236+214. On a 32-bit machine, this size would quietly overflow to 214, which was well within the available memory for allocation purposes.
Bugs of this sort are particularly pernicious because testing will often fail to reveal them. In this particular case, for example, an array that was only too big for memory, but not big enough to overflow, would cause an appropriate diagnostic message. So would an array with a size that overflowed to a value that still would not fit in memory. To trigger the bug, one would have to allocate an array with an overall size that was in bounds when viewed modulo 232 bytes. In that case, the size computation would yield what looked like a plausible value after the overflow. Although aggressively systematic testing might reveal this particular kind of misbehavior, the bug would be much easier to find if whoever was doing the testing knew enough about the code being tested to construct tests that were particularly likely to evoke bugs.
On the surface, this overflow bug does not seem particularly harmful, because it's the kind of bug that users normally would not encounter — and user programs that would legitimately fit in memory would never encounter. However, in practice, this bug made possible a data structure that looked like an ordinary two-dimensional array that overlaid all of memory. As a result, it gave user programs the ability to access any part of the computer's memory that was not protected by hardware. Further experimentation showed that it was possible to use this ability to turn on the bit that gave the user administrative privileges, after which the entire system was within reach.
This example shows a key way in which security bugs differ from others. Ordinary programs are very unlikely to create a multidimensional array of just the right "size." As a result, there is not much reason to test for such bugs because they happen so rarely.
However, in the presence of malicious users, not only do such bugs take on a malevolence far beyond their surface qualities, but there is good reason to believe that a user who discovers such a bug will not report it; instead saving the knowledge of its existence for later use. In other words, not only are obscure security bugs more severe than they might seem, but developers cannot rely on users to report such bugs when they do encounter them.
For this reason, such bugs are particularly important to find before the system is released to users. However, in the case of this particular bug, we have already seen two reasons why ordinary testing is not enough to be confident in finding it:
- The bug was triggered by actions that should have caused a runtime diagnostic message, and
- Many similar actions would have caused that message.
It is not even good enough to say that a white-box test should have revealed it, because the knowledge needed to construct such a white-box test would also have made it possible to anticipate and avoid the problem in the first place.
What is needed, then, is a way of anticipating unanticipated errors. One way to approach this paradoxical goal might be to arrange that memory accesses be checked for validity separately from the computation that yielded the address to be accessed. In other words:
- The program allocates an array by multiplying its dimensions to yield a size.
- This size is used to allocate a block of memory.
- The block's size can be figured out, either by asking the memory allocator or by storing it explicitly as part of the block.
As originally written, when it came time to use such a block, the system would take a sequence of array indices as input, check whether each one was within its corresponding bound, then compute the address corresponding to that array element. The authors of the code assumed that this check was enough to ensure validity, because each individual array bound was known to be valid. The problem in this case, then, was that the authors assumed that if each individual bound was valid, all of them together were also valid.
If the authors' attitude had been that such assumptions weren't enough by themselves, then whenever a user program tried to access memory in an array, the system might have verified that the address to be accessed was actually a valid address in the block of memory, as defined by the block's address and size. Such verification would be able to preserve an important property: Even a nonsensical request would not cause the system to access unauthorized memory. This property would hold even if the address computation overflowed, because either it would yield a valid address, in which case there would be no harm done, or it wouldn't, in which case the result would be a runtime diagnostic message.
In short, this kind of program is one in which internal validity checking might be able to reveal bugs that neither black- nor white-box testing would be likely to encounter. C++ is particularly well suited to such internal validity checking because C++ class definitions make it possible to implement data structures for which all accesses pass through a single, common piece of code. A validity check in that common code will run as part of every access. If that check is implemented as part of an
assert statement, it is even possible to turn it off should it be too expensive. As ever, it is an open question whether the ability to turn off such sanity checks is a feature or a bug.

Warning: the distillate of habanero is the most contaminating of any we do. The flavor gets into all the glassware and lubricant in the system. The entire rotovap has to be broken down and cleaned in an ultrasonic bath after a habanero run. Because of this we do a lot of it in a row and then don't make it for a while. You also need to be extremely careful about boil-over on this product. Even a little boil-over will make your distillate spicy and ruin the effect.

Imagine being so energetic that you feel you might bounce off the walls. You have zillions of different thoughts, so many you think your head might split right open. You're so full of different feelings buzzing around inside that you don't know what to focus on first. You can hardly sleep — but you don't feel tired. And you just can't stop talking.
And then, without warning, you crash land. You feel so bad that everything seems sad, dark, and heavy. You can't even imagine dragging yourself out of bed. Nothing feels good, and you're certain that you're stuck in this black hole forever.
But then you flip back to the super-high-energy mood. This time, everything seems irritating, and big angry rages come over you out of nowhere. Later, you crash again. You never know when you'll feel one way or the other. And there's not a lot of "everything's OK" in between.
This is what it can be like for people who have bipolar disorder, a serious but treatable condition that both kids and adults can get. Sometimes known as manic depression, bipolar disorder is pretty rare, but more common than doctors once thought. Until it is treated, people who have it can't control their moods as they swing from peak to bleak.
Sure, we all have days when we feel "off." Maybe the soccer game was rained out, or the test was tougher than expected, or we just can't figure out what to do with ourselves. We might say we have the blahs, or the blues, or that we're depressed. But there's a difference between feeling depressed and having an actual medical condition called depression.
A person who has bipolar disorder has intense moods that flip-flop back and forth between the low lows of depression and very energetic, high highs, which are called mania.
Your brain is the control center for all the amazing workings of your body and mind — including your moods and behavior. For someone with bipolar disorder, the brain has trouble keeping control of moods. It is believed that certain genes are responsible for this problem.
People are more likely to develop bipolar disorder if they have inherited certain genes from parents. That's why bipolar disorder, like other kinds of mood problems, including depression, runs in families. Just because a kid has a relative with bipolar illness doesn't mean he or she will have it, too.
But for someone who has the genes for bipolar illness, a stressful experience may make it more likely to occur. Someone with bipolar disorder shouldn't be blamed for having this condition. It's not the person's fault.
People with bipolar disorder may realize their moods are swinging from very high to very low, but they don't know why or when these shifts will occur. Kids with bipolar disorder may have these dramatic shifts a lot, even several times an hour.
When kids have bipolar disorder they sometimes seem like they might have another condition, such as ADHD (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder). That's because with either of these conditions a kid might think, talk, and act at a much faster than normal pace. But they are completely different conditions with different causes and different treatments.
Only a specially trained doctor should decide what the problem is and how to treat it. Of course, it's possible for a person to have ADHD and bipolar disorder.
In the high-energy phase of bipolar disorder (called mania, or a manic phase), a person might feel unusually positive about things — or be very irritable or even enraged (which means very angry). The person often will have a lot of extra energy and might believe he or she can do anything, even fly. The person's thoughts might race from topic to topic, which can make it difficult to sleep well. If the person's mood then crashes, he or she might feel very sad or irritable and might cry a lot.
Things that were fun no longer seem interesting, and the person may feel very tired and unable to concentrate. The person may even feel worthless or that life isn't worth living.
Any time you are worried about your mood or feel unusually sad, you should talk with your parent or a trusted adult. Someone who is having mood swings might feel better after seeing a psychiatrist, a psychologist, or counselor.
It's better to get medical attention quickly because then the person can start feeling better instead of letting the problems get worse.
It's much easier to tell if someone has a broken bone or an ear infection than it is to determine that someone has bipolar disorder. But specially trained doctors can often figure it out by looking at the way the person acts or talks and by hearing about symptoms or past experiences. If a doctor says someone has bipolar disorder, it can usually be treated so that the person lives a full, creative, productive life.
A combination of medicines can help prevent the symptoms and treat them if they occur. Sometimes it takes the doctor a while to find the right medicines or the right amounts for a particular person. Treatment also involves talking with a doctor on a regular basis to learn how to manage intense moods. Sometimes talking with other people who also have bipolar disorder helps, too. Over time, someone with bipolar disorder can learn what to do to feel more in control during mood shifts.
Having bipolar disorder can be hard. The intense moods can cause someone to act in extreme ways. Mood problems can cause trouble in relationships and in the everyday things someone wants to do. People with bipolar illness don't mean to be so intense or unpredictable and often don't realize how their extreme moods affect others. Having a parent or a brother or sister with bipolar disorder can be hard on kids.
Although there's no cure for bipolar disorder, it's important to know that the condition can be treated and managed, especially if it's diagnosed early. And scientists are doing a lot of research, especially on how it affects kids. This research is helping doctors understand more about how to help people with bipolar disorder.

the mountain, arrange the exposure so the ground is too dark and the sky is too bright (pointing towards the sun

Posed pictures generally don't work, but pictures with people doing something can be great.

Learn how to get the exposure for the main area of the picture correct. Remember an area of sky in Ireland is
usually 10 times as bright as the same area of ground. Camera exposure meters will often react to this by underexposing
for the ground so it comes out dark with little discernible detail. Learn how to avoid this for your camera with whatever you have. If you can afford it get a camera which supports filters. The two most useful filters with a digital camera are "Graduated Neutral Gray" and "Polarising Filter" - both help to control contrast.
All the other basics of camera work are needed. Don't shake the camera, don't point it into the sun, make sure
it focuses on what you are interested in. Flash is rarely appropriate on hills.

SSH and rlogin fixed too.
SSH and rlogin URI handling vulnerabilities are fixed too.
I didn't see anything about the impact of malicious ssh and rlogin URIs so I looked at the patches and didn't see anything about them there either.
However, ktelnetservice is also responsible for handling these URIs so the patch which fixes telnet: also fixes ssh: and rlogin:.

What news! Did you actually read the advisory/story?
I've just notice on the kde.org home page:
it used to be "Opensource" instead of "free software", right? when did that change happen ? :)

Re: hey
1. go to http://lists.kde.org
(tip: the fifth entry looks interesting)
Re: hey
The terms "Open Source Software" (OSS) and "Free Software" (FS) are synonyms (although some people will disagree). While the former stresses the fact that the source code is freely available the latter stresses the freedom to change and redistribute the software (sometimes under certain restrictions, cf. GPL).
Nowadays, many companies make the source code of some of their software available (i.e. it could be called "open source software", but of course not in the sense of "our" definition of OSS), but they disallow changes and redistribution (so those companies' software is definitely not FS). That's why I prefer the term "Free Software" even though, at least for me, there's no difference between OSS and FS.
By Ingo Klöcker at Mon, 2004/05/17 - 5:00am
Re: hey
I believe that "free software" makes many think "free as in beer", while "open source software" means "free as in thought". I guess the internet other and advertisement channels has diminished the meaning of "free", at least in "the free world" ;)
By Anders at Mon, 2004/05/17 - 5:00am
Re: hey
I don't believe many think this as long its definition is linked. Also see http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.html for an extensive discussion.
Re: hey
Well, we should just use the term Libre Software. Suppose some people may not know that word, but anyone interested could easily look it up so it would prevent any confusion. "Libre" is actually in the Oxford English Dictionary (it was used in the 16th century apparently, "libre will"), so it is almost English already.
Because I agree that Microsoft and other companies confuses the issue with their "shared source" software and the like. But between the two, OSS is less confusing then Free Software IMHO.
What I don't like is FOSS or F/OSS that I've started to see just recently. It reminds me of floss.

time until the fix is installed ?
i think no one will install the fix by hand and just wait for updated binary packages from their vendors.
this is not a troll post, what so you think ?
or waht about something like MSBA (microsoft Security Basline Analyser) which tells you what flaws are discoverd in your OS (KDE).
By chris at Mon, 2004/05/17 - 5:00am
Re: time until the fix is installed ?
There can't be generic binary updates -- they would still have to come from your packager. A binary build on Redhat 7.1 with GCC 2.96 won't be the same as one built on SuSE 9.1 with GCC 3.3, etc.
Most distributions offer an update service for security issues (i.e. SuSE Online Update or Redhat Network).

Re: time until the fix is installed ?

Microsoft windows is affected too by this? Microsoft fixes reported flaws after several months and then hold back available patches for up to an additional month. Shorter?
Re: time until the fix is installed ?
> i think no one will install the fix by hand and just wait for updated binary packages from their vendors.
You are probably right.
> All in all i think the vulnerability is longer visible to the world as in microsoft windows.
In general we try to give the vendors/packagers some time to prepare binary packages before we announce. In this case the vulnerability was published already, so there was no point in waiting any longer. I'm sure the distributions will soon have updates available.

Re: time until the fix is installed ?
Time When I noticed this flaw 05.00... Time when it was fixed 05.02 :-D
Hey duuudes it's not that difficult, just download patch, patch it up, recompile and install.... Done.
Those "Windowse And Distro Newbie users" will always have to rely on MS, Feodora, Suse, you name it. Because they have better things to do, is it supposed to punish me because I at least now how to do it. I DO NOT want to wait several weeks before I get a new release and reinstall AAAALL the mumbo jumbo from start.

Please don't copy Microsoft's mistakes!
To have only patches is terrible.
Having to upgrade to KDE 3.2.2 and then a patch is a needless waste of time, not everybody is having the newest version around. It reminds me of the terrible practice on the Windows platform (install service pack after service pack, then hotfixes)
Please always release a new version after critical upgrades, call it KDE 3.2.2b or 220.127.116.11 or whatever, but please:
never ever let the latest stable release contain critical bugs!
Not everybody is reading those security bulletins, there is absolutely no need to keep re-introducing old bugs into the wild.
Exactly this problem is one of the main reasons why worms and bugs never die on Windows, let's not make the same mistake and make sure that nobody upgrading to (or installing for the first time) the latest KDE is needlessly getting bugs that have already been fixed.
Otherwise a great job done and really fast reaction time!

Re: Please don't copy Microsoft's mistakes!
KDE only releases source code.
Complain to you vendor if you want updated packages, includiing the patches. This is not hard for them to do and is what most vendors _will_ be doing.
By Chris Howells at Tue, 2004/05/18 - 5:00am
Re: Please don't copy Microsoft's mistakes!
I think you're wrong. If my vendor (Debian) doesn't provide KDE 3.2.2 I won't use it unless you provide binary packages.
To sum up: If you don't provide updates, people won't use your software. Ah, but you WANT the people to use your software, don't you?
By John at Tue, 2004/05/18 - 5:00am
Re: Please don't copy Microsoft's mistakes!
You can whine as much as you want: KDE has not the resources to create binary packages for every distribution and platform out there. End of discussion.
Re: Please don't copy Microsoft's mistakes!
well when Autopackage hit's 1.0 and assuming it will be able to handle packages of the size of KDE ok, then we could maybe look into autopackage releases?
i mean it is/will be distro agnostic.
By lou at Tue, 2004/05/18 - 5:00am
Re: Please don't copy Microsoft's mistakes!
You can look into whatever you want, I doubt that there will be ever KDE official binary packages. And "packages that will install on many different distros" does not mean all and especially not platform agnostic.
Re: Please don't copy Microsoft's mistakes!
Every responsible vendor will be releasing updated packages. If Debian does not, file a bug report in their bug tracking system and it will be dealt with.
We never have provided binary updates, only the source code patches, and I don't see this changing in the near future.
By Chris Howells at Tue, 2004/05/18 - 5:00am
Re: Please don't copy Microsoft's mistakes!
"KDE only releases source code."
True, but:
- I want to be able to know wether a machine is vulnerable or not. That's only possible if the patched stuff gets a new version number. Otherwise we end up in complete chaos like in Windows, where as soon as the number of machines is bigger than 3, nobody knows which machine got what patch.
- Lots of people install KDE from source, why not offer them the latest in one package? What's the big advantage of hoping that they will also find the patches and apply them?
- People make mistakes and packagers make mistakes. With no new version number how do I know that my installation was really patched by the packager? There is no way to know except try out an exploit, which can't be seriously be your suggestion or is it?
It's a matter of principle: It should be clear and obvious what is vulnerable and what isn't.
Most OSS-projects (including Linux) follow that rule and release a new version whenever a critical update is needed. That way everybody (please note that often several admins are administrating several machines, and not everybody can remember who patched what) can check whether something is still vulnerable and upgrade if needed.
As soon as you bring in not-changing-version-number patches, the whole system falls apart. Some will forget that they have already patched and will needlessly patch again, others will forget that they have not patched some machines and will keep them on the net. Yes, in a perfect world everybody remembers all the patches he applies, but in a perfect world there wouldn't be any bugs that require a patch in the first place.
And this system is one of the main reasons why security on Unix is easier to maintain and more importantly: OLD BUGS DON'T COME BACK.
So *NO*, this problem cannot be solved by the vendors, this can *ONLY* be solved by the KDE-team by swallowing the geek-pride and release a new version number.
Also, what's the big harm of releasing KDE 18.104.22.168 or 3.2.2b (of course that number has to be shown in kcontrol, otherwise it's pointless)?
By Roland at Tue, 2004/05/18 - 5:00am
Re: Please don't copy Microsoft's mistakes!
It's rather easy to tell if a machine has been updated, distributions change the package revision number when they release updated packages. 3.2.2-1 is unpatched and 3.2.2-2 is patched released. How do you know the patch was actually in that release? Check your distributions web page, they typically document security updates and will say "3.2.2-2: Patches KDE 3.2.2 security hole." This isn't a new problem for distributions, they've had to deal with it from day one.
On the KDE side, going through the full process of getting a new release ready just for a small patch is over kill. They can release the patch now and roll it into the next release without too much worry.

Re: Please don't copy Microsoft's mistakes!
KDE 3.2.3 will be released early June and will include all the latest patches.

hmmm.. looks somewhat familiar
this kinda reminds me of

Is there a KDE security project? It would be very good to install a special review team...

for the love of god..
According to our beloved GNOME folks, Novell is implementing a desktop that will include OO.org, Evolution, Mozilla and (for the love of god, please no) MONO with applications (!). With the platform being SuSE, desktop beneath it may very well be KDE. Talk about a huge heavy mess, and there you have it.
By jmk at Wed, 2004/05/19 - 5:00am
Re: for the love of god..
Please don't try and start something here. If you look it isn't the Gnome folks who are saying this. As everyone should know by know 'they' have a track history of this sort of thing, and everyone should have learned to ignore it.

Timeline issue
This strikes me as scary:
02/04/2003 Exploit acquired by iDEFENSE
The same day the exploit was announced to the team patches were created. THhis does not surprise me. What *does* surprise me is the huge gap in time between when the exploit was aquired and the KDE team was informed.
What is the purpose in waiting so long before informing KDE? Were they waiting for Opera? If so, why?
By Jason Keirstead at Wed, 2004/05/19 - 5:00am
Re: Timeline issue
The original reporter (iDEFENSE) doesn't know KDE or didn't examine it?
By Anonymous at Wed, 2004/05/19 - 5:00am
Re: Timeline issue
Is there a "trusted" person/group of people in the KDE development team, who could contact Opera, and ask to be included on their internal security alert announcements, to prevent things like this?
By Fred Emmott at Sat, 2004/05/22 - 5:00am
Re: Timeline issue
What really matters is that patches were created on the same day that the KDE people were informed. The delay for public disclosure was less than a month.
There is always a delay between the exploit being discovered and making it known to all the right people. No one wants to disclose a security problem straight away without having analysed it fully, looked at how it may be fixed and identified the relevant people to contact. That is just the way of things. Given that patches were created on the same day and vendors were informed within two, that shows that the whole system worked on this occasion.
People make it sound as if something unspeakable is going to happen if there is any sort of delay in people being informed, or a fix being found - that's life. Anybody using this exploit for mailicious purposes will have to work out what they are going to do with it, and how they are going to attack a system. This is in stark contrast to Windows where the number of exploits that allow a malicious attack a free hand into the system (without anyone being tricked into anything) is unbelievable, so granted, a delay would be worse for people using Windows. You also have to couple this with the fact that if there is a security problem with Microsoft software the patch is sometimes your only way of remedying it - you can't just change one or two things or shut them off.
By David at Sun, 2004/05/23 - 5:00am
Re: Timeline issue
Why should KDE have been informed?
The fact that there is a security leak in Opera does not automagicly mean that this leak is also present in KDE.
According to your time line KDE responded in less then a day when the leak in the desktop was discovered/reported.
If people are worried about this delay, they could better worry about the fact that this leak is in KDE for more then 4 years..
Re: Timeline issue
I think the original vulnerability was discovered on OS/X, and the vendor notified was Apple. I think Opera and KDE found it once the issue went public.
Re: Timeline issue
So in about a year of so, there probably will come a patch voor WindowsXP as wel :)
