Sorry folks, I had not meant to bump BIND to the newer branch. I've moved
the other packages into /testing. Thanks to Nobby6 for pointing this out.
This update fixes bugs and the following security issues:
A synchronous call to closehandle_cb() caused isc__nm_process_sock_buffer()
to be called recursively, which in turn left TCP connections hanging in the
CLOSE_WAIT state blocking indefinitely when out-of-order processing was
disabled.
The rules for acceptance of records into the cache have been tightened to
prevent the possibility of poisoning if forwarders send records outside
the configured bailiwick.

Thanks to Heinz Wiesinger for updating the fetch_sources.sh script to make
sure that the QtWebEngine version matches the rest of Qt, which got the
latest git pull compiling again.
If a 32-bit userspace is detected, then:
export QTWEBENGINE_CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--disable-seccomp-filter-sandbox"
This works around crashes occuring with 32-bit QtWebEngine applications.

patches/packages/util-linux-2.37.4-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This release fixes a security issue in chsh(1) and chfn(8):
By default, these utilities had been linked with libreadline, which allows
the INPUTRC environment variable to be abused to produce an error message
containing data from an arbitrary file. So, don't link these utilities with
libreadline as it does not use secure_getenv() (or a similar concept), or
sanitize the config file path to avoid vulnerabilities that could occur in
set-user-ID or set-group-ID programs.
