Several ELF objects were found to have rpaths pointing into /tmp, a world
writable directory. This could have allowed a local attacker to launch denial
of service attacks or execute arbitrary code when the affected binaries are
run by placing crafted ELF objects in the /tmp rpath location. All rpaths with
an embedded /tmp path have been scrubbed from the binaries, and makepkg has
gained a lint feature to detect these so that they won't creep back in.

Mitigate security issue that could lead to a denial of service or
the execution of arbitrary code.
Rebuilt with --with-browseremoteprotocols=none to disable incoming
connections, since this daemon has been shown to be insecure. If you
actually use cups-browsed, be sure to install the new
/etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf.new containing this line:
BrowseRemoteProtocols none

Slackware 14.1 x86_64 stable is released!
It's been another interesting release cycle here at Slackware bringing
new features like support for UEFI machines, updated compilers and
development tools, the switch from MySQL to MariaDB, and many more
improvements throughout 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! :-)

Slackware 14.0 x86_64 stable is released!
We're perfectionists here at Slackware, so this release has been a long
time a-brewing. But we think you'll agree that it was worth the wait.
Slackware 14.0 combines modern components, ease of use, and flexible
configuration... our "KISS" philosophy demands it.
