The last Core Update has just been a week old, but it is now time for
the next one.

This is to announce the release of Core Update 59, which comes with a
lot of security fixes. Hence we recommend to update as soon as possible.

Security fixes:

    openssl (0.9.8x) – which mainly fixes a DoS issue: CVE-2012-2333
    php (5.3.13) – Fixes CVE-2012-2311. It was possible to add additionional
     parameters to a CGI call.
    python (2.7.3) – which mainly fixes the hash table collision bug that
     has been around for some time. It also contains a lot of minor bugfixes
     for the language itself.

More updates:

    The openssh server has been updates to version 6.0p1.
    strongswan has been updated to 4.6.3, which is a minor bugfix release.

IPFire does not allow to set the MTU to 576 on RED. There are some cable
modems around which a broken DHCP server that sets the MTU to 576.
However, this causes a huge slowdown of the internet connection which
does no longer exists anymore.

Sorry for bothering with two updates this week, but as you can see, the
world is spining and we rather like to fix problems than waiting for
exploits showing up. If you appreciate this, please donate.
