Slackware64-14.0 ChangeLog (2017-10-06)

Fri Oct 6 06:32:32 UTC 2017

  • patches/packages/xorg-server-1.12.4-x86_64-4_slack14.0.txz
    This update fixes a security issue:
    Generating strings for XKB data used a single shared static buffer,
    which offered several opportunities for errors. Use a ring of
    resizable buffers instead, to avoid problems when strings end up
    longer than anticipated.
    For more information, see:
