Upstream Release Monitoring

Latest upstream release: 5.0.4 Current version in Fedora Rawhide: 5.0.2 URL: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gmp/ Please consult the package updates policy before you issue an update to a stable branch: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Updates_Policy More information about the service that created this bug can be found at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upstream_release_monitoring
Changes between GMP version 5.0.3 and 5.0.4:
BUGS FIXED
* Thresholds in mpn_powm_sec for both fat and non-fat builds are now used
safely, plugging a one-word buffer overrun introduced in the 5.0.3 release
(for non-fat) and a multi-word buffer overrun that existed since 5.0 (for
fat). (We have not been able to provoke malign stack smashing in any of
the ~100 configurations explored by the GMP nightly builds, but the bug
should be assumed to be exploitable.)
* Two bugs in multiplication code causing incorrect computation with
extremely low probability have been fixed.
* Two bugs in the gcd code have been fixed. They could lead to incorrect
results, but for uniformly distributed random operands, the likelihood for
that is infinitesimally small. (There was also a third bug, but that was
an incorrect ASSERT, which furthermore was not enabled by default.)
* A bug affecting 32-bit PowerPC division has been fixed. The bug caused
miscomputation for certain divisors in the range 2^32 ... 2^64-1 (about 1
in 2^30 of these).
SPEEDUPS
* None, except indirectly through recognition of new CPUs, and through better
tuning parameters.
FEATURES
* Some more tests added to the self-check suite.
* The AMD "Bulldozer" CPU is now recognised.
MISC
* None.
Changes between GMP version 5.0.2 and 5.0.3
BUGS FIXED
* A few minor bugs related to portability fixed.
* A slight timing leak of the powm_sec functions have been sealed. (This
leak could possibly be used to extract the most significant few bits of the
exponent. "Few" here means at most 10.)
* The mpz_nextprime function now runs a safer number of pseudo-random prime
tests.
* A bug in division code possibly causing incorrect computation was fixed.
SPEEDUPS
* None, except indirectly through recognition of new CPUs, and through better
tuning parameters.
FEATURES
* New CPUs recognised.
* IBM S/390 are now supported in both 31/32-bit and 64-bit mode. (We have
not been able to fully test this on any multilib machine, since IBM expired
our guest account a few days before our release.)
MISC
* None.
