Patch SG0002153 replaces patches SG0001833 and SG0002008. 1.1 Supported_Hardware_Platforms This patch can be installed on all platforms. 1.2 Supported_Software_Platforms This patch contains bug fixes for IRIX 6.3. It replaces patches SG0001833 and SG0002008. 1.3 Bugs_Fixed_by_Patch_SG0002153 This patch contains fixes for the following bugs in IRIX 6.3. Bug numbers from Silicon Graphics bug tracking system are included for reference. o XInternAtom fix for the N32 version of libX11.so (Bug #353344) The call to XInternAtom passing a non-existent atom generates an X request with a length of -1. This causes and X Bad Length error and a subsequent crash of the application. o XCreateIC leaks memory. (Bug #439052) o dlopen("libXt.so", RTLD_NOW) results in a fatal runtime error, with an unresolved external symbol SgCvtCreateConversionContext. (Bug #433544) o Can not input cns2 characters on big5 environment. (Bug #458895) o bitmap: disappearing when selecting "Change Size..." in Japanese locale. (Bug #459606) o Incorrect contents for i18n X support of latin2 and ru_RU.KOI8 (Bug #461010) o Patch 1833 has problems (Bug #478400) o Applications which generate signals such as SIGARLM may lose connection to IM server. (Bug #488823) o Security vulnerability in libXt (Bug #493564) - 2 - o Buffer overflow allows unprivileged users to get root access through setuid X programs. (Bug #495591) o Buffer overflows possible in libX11 internationalization code. (Bug #496885) o Potential buffer overflow in XGetErrorDatabaseText. (Bug #518036) 1.4 Subsystems_Included_in_Patch_SG0002153 This patch release includes these subsystems: o patchSG0002153.x_eoe_sw.eoe o patchSG0002153.x_eoe_sw32.eoe o patchSG0002153.x_eoe_sw64.eoe o patchSG0002153.x_dev_sw.dev o patchSG0002153.x_dev_sw32.dev o patchSG0002153.x_dev_sw64.dev 1.5 Installation_Instructions Because you want to install only the patches for problems you have encountered, patch software is not installed by default. After reading the descriptions of the bugs fixed in this patch (see Section 1.3), determine the patches that meet your specific needs. If, after reading Sections 1.1 and 1.2 of these release notes, you are unsure whether your hardware and software meet the requirements for installing a particular patch, run inst. The inst program does not allow you to install patches that are incompatible with your hardware or software. Patch software is installed like any other Silicon Graphics software product. Follow the instructions in your Software Installation Administrator's Guide to bring up the miniroot form of the software installation tools. Follow these steps to select a patch for installation: 1. At the Inst> prompt, type install patchSGxxxxxxx - 3 - where xxxxxxx is the patch number. 2. Initiate the installation sequence. Type Inst> go 3. You may find that two patches have been marked as incompatible. (The installation tools reject an installation request if an incompatibility is detected.) If this occurs, you must deselect one of the patches. Inst> keep patchSGxxxxxxx where xxxxxxx is the patch number. 4. After completing the installation process, exit the inst program by typing Inst> quit 1.6 Patch_Removal_Instructions To remove a patch, use the versions remove command as you would for any other software subsystem. The removal process reinstates the original version of software unless you have specifically removed the patch history from your system. versions remove patchSGxxxxxxx where xxxxxxx is the patch number. To keep a patch but increase your disk space, use the versions removehist command to remove the patch history. versions removehist patchSGxxxxxxx where xxxxxxx is the patch number. 1.7 Known_Problems
