Subject: Updated: setup (2.930)
Date: Wed, 7 Feb 2024 19:57:17 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <6a25c776-98bb-4240-8a57-7081324c5a05@dronecode.org.uk> (raw)


A new version of Setup (2.930) has been uploaded to:

  https://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe  (64 bit version)
  https://cygwin.com/setup-x86.exe     (32 bit version)

Changes compared to 2.929:

- Add some hardening against "DLL hijacking" attacks (Thanks to Corinna 
Vinschen for doing all the thinking involved)

Briefly, these attacks involve tricking you into downloading a malicious 
DLL with the same name as a Windows system DLL into the same directory 
you download and then run setup from.
