| > Hey folks, in light of Firefox 52.x ESR reaching EOL a few hours ago, I'm \\ providing some updates. This required adding Rust and a newer version of \\ LLVM as optional updates for Slackware 14.2. And in case it doesn't work \\ for you (perhaps there's an extension you need that's not supported by 60.x \\ ESR), the last Firefox and Thunderbird 52.x EST have been moved to /pasture \\ as a fallback. If there are any more updates to those (but I don't think \\ there will be), I'll make those updates in /pasture as well. | |

| ===== Packages ===== | |
| |
| ==== Added ==== | |
| * [[slackware64.14.2>pasture/mozilla-firefox-52.9.0esr-x86_64-1_slack14.2.txz]] \\ Moved here from patches/packages/. | |
| * [[slackware64.14.2>pasture/mozilla-thunderbird-52.9.1-x86_64-1_slack14.2.txz]] \\ Moved here from patches/packages/. | |
| * [[slackware64.14.2>patches/packages/rust-1.28.0-x86_64-1_slack14.2.txz]] \\ Since Rust is now a requirement to compile Firefox and Thunderbird we \\ are adding it here. Unless you will need to recompile those (or need to \\ compile other code written in Rust), it is an optional addition. | |
| |
| ==== Upgraded ==== | |
| * [[slackware64.14.2>patches/packages/curl-7.61.1-x86_64-1_slack14.2.txz]] \\ This update fixes an NTLM password overflow via integer overflow. \\ For more information, see: \\ https://curl.haxx.se/docs/CVE-2018-14618.html \\ https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2018-14618 \\ (* Security fix *) | |
| * [[slackware64.14.2>patches/packages/ghostscript-9.24-x86_64-1_slack14.2.txz]] \\ Patched multiple -dSAFER sandbox bypass vulnerabilities. \\ Thanks to Tavis Ormandy. \\ For more information, see: \\ https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.24/News.htm \\ https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/332928 \\ (* Security fix *) | |
| * [[slackware64.14.2>patches/packages/llvm-6.0.1-x86_64-1_slack14.2.txz]] \\ This upgrade to LLVM is provided because Firefox and Thunderbird require \\ a newer version than what was shipped with Slackware 14.2. The libLLVM \\ shared library from llvm-3.8.0 is also included in this package, so it \\ should be safe to upgrade on Slackware 14.2 systems without breaking \\ anything, but unless you are planning to recompile Firefox or Thunderbird, \\ or you need a newer version of LLVM for some reason, it is optional. | |
| * [[slackware64.14.2>patches/packages/mozilla-firefox-60.2.0esr-x86_64-1_slack14.2.txz]] \\ This release contains security fixes and improvements. \\ For more information, see: \\ https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefoxESR.html \\ (* Security fix *) | |
| * [[slackware64.14.2>patches/packages/mozilla-thunderbird-60.0-x86_64-1_slack14.2.txz]] \\ This release contains security fixes and improvements. \\ For more information, see: \\ https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/60.0/releasenotes/ \\ https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/thunderbird.html \\ https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2018-19/ \\ (* Security fix *) | |
