From the Debian advisory:
Jann Horn of Google Project Zero discovered that NTFS-3G, a read-write
NTFS driver for FUSE, does not scrub the environment before executing
modprobe with elevated privileges. A local user can take advantage of
this flaw for local root privilege escalation.
From the Red Hat advisory:
* A vulnerability was discovered in spice in the server's protocol
handling. An authenticated attacker could send crafted messages to
the spice server causing a heap overflow leading to a crash or
possible code execution. (CVE-2016-9577)
* A vulnerability was discovered in spice in the server's protocol
handling. An attacker able to connect to the spice server could send
crafted messages which would cause the process to crash.
(CVE-2016-9578)
From the Arch Linux advisory:
- CVE-2017-5192 (arbitrary code execution): The
`LocalClient.cmd_batch()` method client does not accept
`external_auth` credentials and so access to it from salt-api has
been removed for now. This vulnerability allows code execution for
already- authenticated users and is only in effect when running
salt-api as the `root` user.
- CVE-2017-5200 (arbitrary command execution): Salt-api allows
arbitrary command execution on a salt-master via Salt's ssh_client.
Users of Salt-API and salt-ssh could execute a command on the salt
master via a hole when both systems were enabled.
The --with-openldap and --with-sasl flags passed here are actually wrong
as they don't point to the dev outputs of the packages. Anyway, autoconf
recognizes the packages as they are in buildInputs.
getBin is generally not needed - binaries can always be referred as
${foo}/bin/bar regardless of whether the package is multiple-output.
meta.version is unnecessary.

This will need more patching to work properly (especially for python
builds), but I've been able to convince it to build some simple java and
scala projects in its current form so I figured I'd spread it.
-split-sections replaced -split-objs with following upsides:
1) -split-objs adds considerable overhead to compile time
2) combined with stripping, it causes issues when cross-compiling
For upstream see https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8405
This is supported only for Linux/Windows using ld linker.
GHC master also turns on -split-sections by default.
Example using stack:
Without splitting
$ du /nix/store/5paayhibayr73zqfaj458g4k4mv108jn-stack-1.3.2

23420 /nix/store/5paayhibayr73zqfaj458g4k4mv108jn-stack-1.3.2
With -split-objs
$ du /nix/store/fypymm529adpx71gdzm0851xz42wdbz0-stack-1.3.2

$ du /nix/store/40l6krinx1zx41lr87c4m12hxj4ldf3x-stack-1.3.2

Note: you currently need following overrides to build stack on 802:
vector-algorithms = dontCheck super.vector-algorithms;
path-io = doJailbreak super.path-io;
stack = doJailbreak super.stack;
Note: Should also work on GHC 8.0.1, but I'm being careful here.
We could backport later on.
Since the update of imagemagick in
5e753c1a65 there are certain test cases
which now unexpectly succeed and in turn cause the whole build to fail.
So in order to prevent this from happening let's skip those tests
properly instead of running them and expect them to fail.
Tested by building pythonPackages.pyocr on x86_64-linux.

Upstream bug: https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=697457
A new release containing this fix is expected in march; until then,
apply patch from upstream. Note that there have been essentially no
changes between 0.13 and this patch.
The most recent version on the sourceforge page is 0.11 which is quite
old; the official upstream site has 0.13; judging by the commit delta,
there've been quite a few bug fixes etc since 0.11.
The first release in the 4.9 branch.
I've also migrated my update scripts to SHA-512 so that'll
be the hash of choice for grsec packages going forward.
