Apply patch to fix a security issue:
Harden BN_GF2m_poly2arr against misuse.
This CVE was fixed by the 1.1.1zb release that is only available to
subscribers to OpenSSL's premium extended support. The patch was prepared
by backporting from the OpenSSL-3.0 repo. The reported version number has
been updated so that vulnerability scanners calm down.
Thanks to Ken Zalewski for the patch!

Removed support for legacy CUPS browsing and for LDAP
Legacy CUPS browsing is not needed any more and, our implementation
accepting any UDP packet on port 631, causes vulnerabilities, and
our LDAP support is does not comly with RFC 7612 and is therefore
limited. Fixes CVE-2024-47176 and CVE-2024-47850
Default `BrowseRemoteProtocols` should not include `cups` protocol
Works around CVE-2024-47176, the fix is the complete removal of

This update patches a security issue:
LuaTeX before 1.17.0 allows execution of arbitrary shell commands when
compiling a TeX file obtained from an untrusted source. This occurs
because luatex-core.lua lets the original io.popen be accessed. This also
affects TeX Live before 2023 r66984 and MiKTeX before 23.5.

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! :-)
