Slackware Security[slackware-security] patch (SSA:2025-256-01)
New patch packages are available for Slackware 15.0 to fix security issues.
Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/patch-2.8-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
We patched CVE-2018-1000156 seven years ago (arguably the most severe of
these flaws), but several more CVEs were silently fixed when patch-2.8
was released earlier this year, so let's upgrade.
Thanks to bigbadaboum for the heads-up.
