./chat/libotr, Library for Off-The-Record encrypted messaging

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 4.1.1, Package name: libotr-4.1.1, Maintainer: nathanw

This is the portable OTR Messaging Library, as well as the toolkit to
help you forge messages.

Off-the-Record (OTR) Messaging allows you to have private
conversations over instant messaging by providing:

Encryption
No one else can read your instant messages.
Authentication
You are assured the correspondent is who you think it is.
Deniability
The messages you send do not have digital signatures that are
checkable by a third party. Anyone can forge messages after a
conversation to make them look like they came from you. However,
during a conversation, your correspondent is assured the messages
he sees are authentic and unmodified.
Perfect forward secrecy
If you lose control of your private keys, no previous conversation
is compromised.

Log message: chat/libotr, chat/irssi: Pass through libgcrypt-config on cross. This is kludgey, on two levels: 1. We are relying on the _cross-built_ libgcrypt-config to be a shell script that can be executed at build-time. (Why can't we just use pkg-config? Downstream packages' configure scripts have to be patched to be taught to do this -- the libgcrypt.m4 autoconf library that gcrypt ships with doesn't know how.) 2. Knowing where the libgcrypt-config lives should be defined in one place, security/gcrypt/buildlink3.mk, not in every user like textproc/libxml2, chat/libotr, chat/irssi, &c. But this will get irssi cross-building, at least. No change to native build because conditional on USE_CROSS_COMPILE.

Log message: Update to 4.1.1. This is a security release addressing CVE-2016-2851. - Fix an integer overflow bug that can cause a heap buffer overflow (and from there remote code execution) on 64-bit platforms - Fix possible free() of an uninitialized pointer - Be stricter about parsing v3 fragments - Add a testsuite ("make check" to run it), but only on Linux for now, since it uses Linux-specific features such as epoll - Fix a memory leak when reading a malformed instance tag file - Protocol documentation clarifications
