This update fixes a security issue where a malicious privileged container
could overwrite the host binary and thus gain root-level code execution on
the host. As the LXC project considers privileged containers to be unsafe
no CVE has been assigned for this issue for LXC. To prevent this attack,
LXC has been patched to create a temporary copy of the calling binary
itself when it starts or attaches to containers. To do this LXC creates an
anonymous, in-memory file using the memfd_create() system call and copies
itself into the temporary in-memory file, which is then sealed to prevent
further modifications. LXC then executes this sealed, in-memory file
instead of the original on-disk binary.

Slackware 14.2 x86_64 stable is released!
The long development cycle (the Linux community has lately been living in
"interesting times", as they say) is finally behind us, and we're proud to
announce the release of Slackware 14.2. The new release brings many updates
and modern tools, has switched from udev to eudev (no systemd), and adds
well over a hundred new packages to the system. Thanks to the team, the
upstream developers, the dedicated Slackware community, and everyone else
who pitched in to help make this release a reality.
The ISOs are off to be replicated, a 6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided
32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD. Please consider supporting the Slackware
project by picking up a copy from store.slackware.com. We're taking
pre-orders now, and offer a discount if you sign up for a subscription.
Have fun! :-)
