patches/packages/glibc-2.33-x86_64-6_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt.
This update fixes a security issue:
The iconv() function in the GNU C Library versions 2.39 and older may
overflow the output buffer passed to it by up to 4 bytes when converting
strings to the ISO-2022-CN-EXT character set, which may be used to crash
an application or overwrite a neighbouring variable.

patches/packages/less-653-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update patches a security issue:
less through 653 allows OS command execution via a newline character in the
name of a file, because quoting is mishandled in filename.c. Exploitation
typically requires use with attacker-controlled file names, such as the files
extracted from an untrusted archive. Exploitation also requires the LESSOPEN
environment variable, but this is set by default in many common cases.

patches/packages/coreutils-9.5-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
chmod -R now avoids a race where an attacker may replace a traversed file
with a symlink, causing chmod to operate on an unintended file.
[This bug was present in "the beginning".]

patches/packages/emacs-29.3-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
GNU Emacs through 28.2 allows attackers to execute commands via shell
metacharacters in the name of a source-code file, because lib-src/etags.c
uses the system C library function in its implementation of the ctags
program. For example, a victim may use the "ctags *" command (suggested in
the ctags documentation) in a situation where the current working directory
has contents that depend on untrusted input.

patches/packages/ghostscript-9.55.0-x86_64-2_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt.
Fixes security issues:
A vulnerability was identified in the way Ghostscript/GhostPDL called
tesseract for the OCR devices, which could allow arbitrary code execution.
Thanks to J_W for the heads-up.

code execution.

patches/packages/openjpeg-2.5.2-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
Fixed a regression in openjpeg-2.5.1:
API breakage / openjpeg version no longer detected (openjpeg.h no longer
includes opj_config.h).
patches/packages/wpa_supplicant-2.10-x86_64-2_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt.
Patched the implementation of PEAP in wpa_supplicant to prevent an
authentication bypass. For a successful attack, wpa_supplicant must be
configured to not verify the network's TLS certificate during Phase 1
authentication, and an eap_peap_decrypt vulnerability can then be abused
to skip Phase 2 authentication. The attack vector is sending an EAP-TLV
Success packet instead of starting Phase 2. This allows an adversary to
impersonate Enterprise Wi-Fi networks.

patches/packages/openjpeg-2.5.1-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
Fixed a heap-based buffer overflow in openjpeg in color.c:379:42 in
sycc420_to_rgb when decompressing a crafted .j2k file. An attacker could use
this to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the application
compiled against openjpeg.

extra/sendmail/sendmail-8.18.1-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
sendmail through 8.17.2 allows SMTP smuggling in certain configurations.
Remote attackers can use a published exploitation technique to inject e-mail
messages with a spoofed MAIL FROM address, allowing bypass of an SPF
protection mechanism. This occurs because sendmail supports <LF>.<CR><LF>
but some other popular e-mail servers do not. This is resolved in 8.18 and
later versions with 'o' in srv_features.

This is a bugfix release.
patches/packages/postfix-3.6.14-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
Security (inbound SMTP smuggling): with "smtpd_forbid_bare_newline
= normalize" (default "no" for Postfix < 3.9), the Postfix
SMTP server requires the standard End-of-DATA sequence
<CR><LF>.<CR><LF>, and otherwise allows command or message
content lines ending in the non-standard <LF>, processing
them as if the client sent the standard <CR><LF>.
The alternative setting, "smtpd_forbid_bare_newline = reject"
will reject any command or message that contains a bare
<LF>, and is more likely to cause problems with legitimate
clients.
For backwards compatibility, local clients are excluded by
default with "smtpd_forbid_bare_newline_exclusions =
$mynetworks".

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.
