samhain (2.5.4-1) unstable; urgency=low Since version 2.5.4 samhain uses the dnmalloc allocator as a proactive security measure against heap buffer overflows. If you experience stability problems, please report these issues as a bug report against the Debian package providing information on your architecture. As a workaround you can use the sources and use recompile them using --disable-dnmalloc flag. -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a Thu, 05 Mar 2009 09:04:22 +0100 samhain (1.7.10-4) unstable; urgency=low Since version 1.7.10-4 the postinst has been fixed and the integrity database will not be initialized each time the package is upgrade. Previous versions would do so and, as a consequence, the /var/state/samhain/samhain_file would be appended an will grow with each upgrade. Users that have frequently upgraded samhain are suggested to review the size of that file and consider (if it's too big, i.e over 2-3 MBs) to purge it and re-run 'samhain -t init' to recreate it. When I find a good way to detect appended databases code will be added to the package management scripts in order to remove and regenerate it (just in case some users suffer from this issue). -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a Sat, 20 Sep 2003 23:13:12 +0200
