patches/packages/kernel-firmware-20231222_a7dee43-noarch-1.txz: Upgraded.
Updated to the latest kernel firmware.
patches/packages/linux-5.15.145/*: Upgraded.
These updates fix various bugs and security issues.
Thanks to jwoithe for the PCI fix!
Be sure to upgrade your initrd after upgrading the kernel packages.
If you use lilo to boot your machine, be sure lilo.conf points to the correct
kernel and initrd and run lilo as root to update the bootloader.
If you use elilo to boot your machine, you should run eliloconfig to copy the
kernel and initrd to the EFI System Partition.

patches/packages/glibc-zoneinfo-2023d-noarch-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This package provides the latest timezone updates.
patches/packages/postfix-3.6.13-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
Security: this release adds support to defend against an email spoofing
attack (SMTP smuggling) on recipients at a Postfix server. Sites
concerned about SMTP smuggling attacks should enable this feature on
Internet-facing Postfix servers. For compatibility with non-standard
clients, Postfix by default excludes clients in mynetworks from this
countermeasure.
The recommended settings are:
# Optionally disconnect remote SMTP clients that send bare newlines,
# but allow local clients with non-standard SMTP implementations
# such as netcat, fax machines, or load balancer health checks.
#
smtpd_forbid_bare_newline = yes
smtpd_forbid_bare_newline_exclusions = $mynetworks
The smtpd_forbid_bare_newline feature is disabled by default.

patches/packages/samba-4.18.9-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This is a security release in order to address the following defect:
An information leak vulnerability was discovered in Samba's LDAP server.
Due to missing access control checks, an authenticated but unprivileged
attacker could discover the names and preserved attributes of deleted objects
in the LDAP store. Upgrading to this package will not prevent this
information leak - if you are using Samba as an Active Directory Domain
Controller, you will need to follow the instructions in the samba.org link
given below.

patches/packages/ca-certificates-20231117-noarch-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update provides the latest CA certificates to check for the
authenticity of SSL connections.
patches/packages/mariadb-10.5.23-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes bugs and a security issue:
Vulnerability allows high privileged attacker with network access via
multiple protocols to compromise the server. Successful attacks of this
vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or
frequently repeatable crash.

patches/packages/sudo-1.9.15p1-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This is a bugfix release:
Fixed a bug introduced in sudo 1.9.15 that prevented LDAP-based sudoers
from being able to read the ldap.conf file.
patches/packages/sudo-1.9.15-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
The sudoers plugin has been modified to make it more resilient to ROWHAMMER
attacks on authentication and policy matching.
The sudoers plugin now constructs the user time stamp file path name using
the user-ID instead of the user name. This avoids a potential problem with
user names that contain a path separator ('/') being interpreted as part of
the path name.

patches/packages/LibRaw-0.20.2-x86_64-4_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt.
This update fixes security issues:
A Buffer Overflow vulnerability was found in LibRaw_buffer_datastream::
gets(char*, int), which could lead to privilege escalation or application
crash.
A heap-buffer-overflow was found in raw2image_ex(int), which may lead to
application crash by maliciously crafted input file.

patches/packages/util-linux-2.37.4-x86_64-2_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt.
Copy /etc/pam.d/login to /etc/pam.d/remote. This is needed for /bin/login's
'-h' option, used (for example) by telnetd. If -h is used without
/etc/pam.d/remote, pam will not be configured properly, and /etc/securetty
will be ignored, possibly allowing root to login from a tty that is not
considered secure. Of course, the usual disclaimers about the security of
telnet/telnetd apply.
Thanks to HytronBG and Petri Kaukasoina.

patches/packages/libcaca-0.99.beta20-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
Fixed a crash bug (a crafted file defining width of zero leads to divide by
zero and a crash). Seems to be merely a bug rather than a security issue, but
I'd been meaning to get beta20 building so this was a good excuse.
Thanks to marav.

malicious actor to cause Netatalk's afpd daemon to crash, or possibly to
execute arbitrary code.

patches/packages/python3-3.9.18-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes a security issue:
Fixed an issue where instances of ssl.SSLSocket were vulnerable to a bypass
of the TLS handshake and included protections (like certificate verification)
and treating sent unencrypted data as if it were post-handshake TLS encrypted
data. Security issue reported by Aapo Oksman; patch by Gregory P. Smith.
