In certain cases, \\ the CGI template can echo user input to file rather than escaping the \\ text first. This may be used to set up a reflected XSS attack in \\ the QUERY parameter of the web interface help page. \\ For more information, see: \\ http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2015-1158 \\ http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2015-1159 \\ (* Security fix *) * [[slackware64.14.2>ap/cups-filters-1.0.71-x86_64-1.txz]] \\ Fixed overflows and lack of bounds checking in texttopdf. \\ For more information, see: \\ http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2015-3258 \\ http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2015-3259 \\ (* Security fix *) * [[slackware64.14.2>ap/lm_sensors-3.3.5-x86_64-1.txz]] * [[slackware64.14.2>ap/nano-2.4.2-x86_64-1.txz]] * [[slackware64.14.2>ap/screen-4.3.1-x86_64-1.txz]] * [[slackware64.14.2>d/python-2.7.10-x86_64-1.txz]] * [[slackware64.14.2>l/gst-plugins-base-1.4.5-x86_64-1.txz]] * [[slackware64.14.2>l/gst-plugins-good-1.4.5-x86_64-1.txz]] * [[slackware64.14.2>l/gstreamer-1.4.5-x86_64-1.txz]] * [[slackware64.14.2>n/bind-9.10.2_P2-x86_64-1.txz]] \\ This update fixes a security issue where an attacker who can cause \\ a validating resolver to query a zone containing specifically constructed \\ contents can cause that resolver to fail an assertion and terminate due \\ to a defect in validation code. This means that a recursive resolver that \\ is performing DNSSEC validation can be deliberately stopped by an attacker \\ who can cause the resolver to perform a query against a \\ maliciously-constructed zone. This will result in a denial of service to \\ clients who rely on that resolver. \\ For more information, see: \\ https://kb.isc.org/article/AA-01267/ \\ http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2015-4620 \\ (* Security fix *) * [[slackware64.14.2>n/ntp-4.2.8p3-x86_64-1.txz]] \\ This update fixes a security issue where under specific circumstances an \\ attacker can send a crafted packet to cause a vulnerable ntpd instance to \\ crash. Since this requires 1) ntpd set up to allow remote configuration \\ (not allowed by default), and 2) knowledge of the configuration password, \\ and 3) access to a computer entrusted to perform remote configuration, \\ the vulnerability is considered low-risk. \\ For more information, see: \\ http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2015-5146 \\ (* Security fix *) * [[slackware64.14.2>xap/imagemagick-6.9.1_7-x86_64-1.txz]] \\ Added --with-gcc-arch=$ARCH to fix illegal instruction errors on 32-bit \\ platforms with non-AMD processors. Thanks to Kirils Solovjovs. * [[slackware64.14.2>xap/mozilla-firefox-39.0-x86_64-1.txz]] \\ This release contains security fixes and improvements. \\ For more information, see: \\ http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html \\ (* Security fix *) ==== Rebuilt ==== * [[slackware64.14.2>d/make-3.82-x86_64-6.txz]] \\ Added whitespace handling patch from upstream.
