I recently ran "dnf update" on all my servers to bring all the RPMs to current levels, and encountered one web server that has postgresql-libs-11.20-1.ppc installed. Not sure why, since I am not aware of any PostgreSQL databases on the system (and in fact I don't even have the psql command installed). ...

I, too, am interested to know what the ETA for 2.4.58. Per ITSS, we have to have the fixes for these CVEs installed by 2023-11-18 -- meaning they have to be available before then :-) ------------------------------ Erich Wolz ------------------------------

The Nagios Core 4.x version history can be found at https://www.nagios.org/projects/nagios-core/4x/ I don't see any security vulnerabilities fixed, but I do see several fixes for memory leaks, crashes, etc. You may recall that we have yet to be able to get the Toolbox version of Nagios running ...

Looks like this particular AIX system is at openssl 1.0.2.x instead of openssl 1.1.x, as I have a similar issue updating packages on VIOS 3.1.2 ------------------------------ Erich Wolz ------------------------------

As noted above, I have (unsuccessfully) tried running the version of Toolbox Nagios 4.4.7.1 downloaded as an RPM, and I have also (unsuccessfully) tried running the version of Toolbox Nagios 4.4.7-1 built from the SPEC file. Also as suggested above, I tried reaching out on github, only to be redirected ...

> Unfortunately there is no indication as to what file or directory is being looking for. The "Worker failed to create io broker socket set: No such file or directory" messages are the same as the behavior I saw using the Toolbox-provided RPMs... so at least that much is consistent. --------- ...

ITSS requires (among other things) open-source vulnerability and dependency code scans using one of the CISO-approved scanning tools (see https://pages.github.ibm.com/ciso-psg/main/standards/itss.html). Is this being done for the Toolbox rpm's (https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/aix-toolbox-open ...

After removing /usr/lib/libssl.so (and /usr/lib/libcrypto.so which was also present) the build ran to completion and generated the following files in /opt/freeware/src/packages/RPMS/ppc: nagios-4.4.7-1.aix7.2.ppc.rpm nagios-devel-4.4.7-1.aix7.2.ppc.rpm nagios-gui-4.4.7-1.aix7.2.ppc.rpm Refreshing ...

Yes, the original problem was one of Nagios not being able to open its main config file (recall that nagios was -- and is -- started via "/opt/freeware/bin/nagios -d /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg > /dev/console 2>&1" but nagios was instead trying to read the socket specified to be used for the query handler ...

> When you install an SRPM package, the spec file gets copied to the SPECS directory (see directory structure shown in Figure 1). Change to the SPECS directory and run the `rpmbuild -ba ` command to build the software. This command generates the binary RPM package in the appropriate directory and also ...

Thanks for this info. As can no doubt be inferred from my previous posts, I am not a developer and I am (clearly) not familiar with SRPMs, SPEC files, etc. In fact this is the first .rpm I've ever installed that did *not* record something in the RPM database (so, a new-to-me behavior). It is also only ...
