Run the GTK+/FDo registry rebuilds in the background \\ to speed up boot time. Optimize the search for icon cache files by only \\ looking in the directories they might be in, rather than all directories \\ under /usr/share/icons. * [[slackware.current>d/guile-2.0.11-i486-2.txz]] \\ Recompiled against readline-6.3. * [[slackware.current>isolinux/initrd.img]] * [[slackware.current>usb-and-pxe-installers/usbboot.img]] ==== Upgraded ==== * [[slackware.current>a/btrfs-progs-20150213-i486-1.txz]] * [[slackware.current>a/coreutils-8.23-i486-1.txz]] * [[slackware.current>a/e2fsprogs-1.42.12-i486-1.txz]] * [[slackware.current>a/glibc-solibs-2.21-i486-1.txz]] * [[slackware.current>a/glibc-zoneinfo-2015a-noarch-1.txz]] * [[slackware.current>a/kernel-firmware-20150212git-noarch-1.txz]] * [[slackware.current>a/kernel-generic-3.14.33-i486-1.txz]] * [[slackware.current>a/kernel-generic-smp-3.14.33_smp-i686-1.txz]] * [[slackware.current>a/kernel-huge-3.14.33-i486-1.txz]] * [[slackware.current>a/kernel-huge-smp-3.14.33_smp-i686-1.txz]] * [[slackware.current>a/kernel-modules-3.14.33-i486-1.txz]] * [[slackware.current>a/kernel-modules-smp-3.14.33_smp-i686-1.txz]] * [[slackware.current>a/patch-2.7.4-i486-1.txz]] \\ Patch no longer follows symbolic links to input and output files. This \\ ensures that symbolic links created by git-style patches cannot cause \\ patch to write outside the working directory. \\ For more information, see: \\ http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2015-1196 \\ (* Security fix *) * [[slackware.current>a/sharutils-4.15-i486-1.txz]] * [[slackware.current>a/util-linux-2.25.2-i486-1.txz]] * [[slackware.current>ap/sudo-1.8.12-i486-1.txz]] \\ This update fixes a potential security issue by only passing the TZ \\ environment variable it is considered safe. This prevents exploiting bugs \\ in glibc's TZ parser that could be used to read files that the user does \\ not have access to, or to cause a denial of service. \\ For more information, see: \\ http://www.sudo.ws/sudo/alerts/tz.html \\ http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-9680 \\ (* Security fix *) * [[slackware.current>d/kernel-headers-3.14.33_smp-x86-1.txz]] * [[slackware.current>k/kernel-source-3.14.33_smp-noarch-1.txz]] * [[slackware.current>l/glibc-2.21-i486-1.txz]] * [[slackware.current>l/glibc-i18n-2.21-i486-1.txz]] * [[slackware.current>l/glibc-profile-2.21-i486-1.txz]] * [[slackware.current>l/parted-3.2-i486-1.txz]] * [[slackware.current>l/readline-6.3-i486-1.txz]] * [[slackware.current>l/seamonkey-solibs-2.32.1-i486-1.txz]] * [[slackware.current>n/ntp-4.2.8p1-i486-1.txz]] \\ Changed rc.ntpd to no longer save the system time to the hardware clock. \\ This had been done in an effort to stop a time skew that may well have \\ been caused by other issues with hwclock and the kernel. If removing \\ this code causes any issues to return, let me know. Thanks to Xsane. * [[slackware.current>xap/seamonkey-2.32.1-i486-1.txz]] \\ This update contains security fixes and improvements. \\ For more information, see: \\ http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/seamonkey.html \\ (* Security fix *) * [[slackware.current>extra/linux-3.14.33-nosmp-sdk/*]] * [[slackware.current>kernels/*]] {{tag>slackware changelog slackware-current 2015/02}} news/2015/02/16/slackware-current-changelog.txt Last modified: 9 years agoby Giuseppe Di Terlizzi Log In
