PRODUCT: DIGITAL UNIX [R]
COMPONENT: DECwindows Motif Toolkit
SOURCE: Digital Equipment Corporation
ECO INFORMATION:
ECO Kit Name: MOTDU_E08032C
ECO Kits Superseded by This ECO Kit: MOTDU_E07032C
ECO Kit Approximate Size: 11616 Blocks
5947392 Bytes
Kit Applies To: DIGITAL UNIX V3.2C
DECwindows Motif 1.2.4
System/Cluster Reboot Necessary: No
ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for DIGITAL UNIX version 3.2C. This kit addresses
the following problems:
o Added RGB as a valid type for the color expression in the color
table.
o Incorrect behavior of XmTextField in overstrike mode: in Motif
1.2.3, InsertChar replaces two characters in overstrike mode.
o Fixed a corrupted pointer in Motif text field widgets.
o Fixed the window resize problem using the mouse after selecting
Japanese language in Session Manager Options pulldown menu and
pressing NumLock key.
o Fixed the memory leak in the Motif scrolled list widgets.
o Fixed a problem where the Motif Print Widget can leave
processes until the parent application exits.
o A potential security vulnerability has been discovered,
where dxsession writes to /tmp directory, which under
certain circumstances, system integrity may be compromised.
o Fixed problem of an ungraceful exit can be made through the
window manager's 'Close' button, whose behavior is inconsistent
with that of DECwindows Session Manager's (dxsession) 'End
Session' button.
o Motif applications may abort when you use the drag-and-drop
feature. Motif toolkit function XmCreateDragIcon() gets a
"BadMatch (invalid |parameter attributes)" error and then
crashes because the code fails to set the correct image
dimensions.
o When using the Bookreader library, which is part of the
DECwindows Motif toolkit, from within an application,
bookreader changes the caller's effective UID to the real
UID, but then never restores it to the original effective UID,
before returning control to the calling program. If an
application like dxchpwd is run from a non-root account, it
fails with a privilege violation.
INSTALLATION NOTES:
Install this kit using the PATCH script found in the compressed
tar file motdu_e08032c.tar.Z . To unpack the kit, create an
empty directory and extract the contents of motdu_e08032c.tar.Z
into that directory. For example,
# mkdir /tmp/motifpatch
# cd /tmp/motifpatch
# zcat motdu_e08032c.tar.Z|tar xpf
NOTE: If this ECO is received on tape media, it will already
be in an uncompressed .tar, motdu_e08032c.tar, format.
Please see the Release Notes for a detailed explanation of Installation
Instructions.
