[opensuse] disk cache
by Roger Oberholtzer 23 Sep '14

23 Sep '14

A year or so ago I started a discussion about a problem I had with the disk cache getting full, and then there being long delays when it was emptied. The solution at that time (openSUSE 12.1) was to periodically run: echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches At the time, this solved everything. For some reason I cannot understand, I think this problem has returned. The cache seems to be filling up - but the command above does not help. I looked through the archives but could not find the message from the person who suggested an X app that monitored the various cache. I found this tool very useful at the time. But I have since forgotten it. I usually record this kind of information, but not that time. Anyone recall the name of the tool? -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] MediaWiki exploit - check your site...
by David C. Rankin 22 Sep '14

22 Sep '14

All, I was hit by a mediawiki exploit that past week that affected versions at least up to and including 122.2. I am still working to determine the exact exploit used or whether this may be a new one. From what I can gather, either by cross-site-scripting (XSS) or cross-site request forgery (CSRF) an exploit existed that allowed an attacker to bypass the normal page/user creation protections, captcha and response e-mail to generate an account and gain privileges to use wiki mail for outbound spam. The postfix smtp sender/client restrictions were defeated by sending outbound as a valid system user using the UID of the web-user (e.g. http, www, etc.). This attack is automated and will generate thousands of users/pages and outbound mails in a relatively short amount of time. Since the inbound connection is via http (instead of say a login attempt via ssh), the normal anvil/fail2ban restrictions are not implicated. After reviewing the listed CVE's at: http://www.cvedetails.com/product/4125/Mediawiki-Mediawiki.html?vendor_id=2… I'm not sure this exploit is among those listed. Mediawiki seems to be the only web-application affected by this exploit. So, if you run mediawiki, update to the latest 1.23.3 and check your logs often. If you are hit and need to get rid of 10,000 additions to your server, drop a reply. Direct deletion/truncation from the mysql tables themselves are easiest way to recover. -- David C.

In a earlier version of Gwenview my raw files were not displayed, so I could display the .jpg files only. Is it possible to organise that in the new version? T.i.a.

[opensuse] RIFF / AVI metadata viewer
by h 21 Sep '14

21 Sep '14

Hi, I am wanting some software to view metadata in avi files. I have found showriff, but there does not seem to be much else. I noted that the XAWTV project contains a showriff.c file, but I cannot find any "nice" software to browse and view the data chunks in an avi file. (I know the 'standards' for RIFF data are not fantastic. I will deal with the data chunk / BLOB as a separate issue!!!) Does anyone know of anything they can recommend to find and view the RIFF data? -- With thanks H -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
