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.

down earlier.
Lookups involving a DNAME could trigger an INSIST when "synth-from-dnssec"

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.

If root's mailbox did not already exist, it would be created with insecure
permissions leading to possible local information disclosure. This update
ensures that a new mailbox will be created with proper permissions and
ownership, and corrects the permissions on an existing mailbox if they are
found to be incorrect. Thanks to Martin for the bug report.
(* Security fix *)
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.

Slackware 15.0 x86_64 stable is released!
Another too-long development cycle is behind us after we bit off more than
we could chew and then had to shine it up to a high-gloss finish. Hopefully
we've managed to get the tricky parts out of the way so that we'll be able
to see a 15.1 incremental update after a far shorter development cycle.
Certainly the development infrastructure has been streamlined here and things
should be easier moving forward. My thanks to the rest of the Slackware team,
all the upstream developers who have given us such great building materials,
the folks on LinuxQuestions.org and elsewhere for all the help with testing,
great suggestions, and countless bug fixes, and to everyone who helped
support this project so that the release could finally see the light of day.
I couldn't have done any of this without your help, and I'm grateful to all
of you. Thanks!
For more information, check out the RELEASE_NOTES, CHANGES_AND_HINTS.TXT,
and ANNOUNCE.15.0.
Have fun! :-)
