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.

As upstream refactors this into smaller binaries, we could easily run into
another update that causes an sshd lockout if the listener process isn't
restarted. So, let's try to prevent that. After the package is upgraded,
we'll use "sshd -t" to make sure that we have a sane configuration, and if
so then we'll restart the listener process automatically.
If you don't like this idea, you may turn it off in /etc/default/sshd.

Subject: [PATCH] Revert "drm/amdgpu: init iommu after amdkfd device init"
This reverts commit 56b522f4668167096a50c39446d6263c96219f5f.
A user reported that this commit breaks the integrated gpu of his
notebook, causing a black screen. He was able to bisect the problematic
commit and verified that by reverting it the notebook works again.
He also confirmed that kernel 6.8.1 also works on his device, so the
upstream commit itself seems to be ok.
An amdgpu developer (Alex Deucher) confirmed that this patch should
have never been ported to 5.15 in the first place, so revert this
commit from the 5.15 stable series.
Thanks to fsLeg.

patches/packages/git-2.39.4-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes security issues:
Recursive clones on case-insensitive filesystems that support symbolic
links are susceptible to case confusion that can be exploited to
execute just-cloned code during the clone operation.
Repositories can be configured to execute arbitrary code during local
clones. To address this, the ownership checks introduced in v2.30.3
are now extended to cover cloning local repositories.
Local clones may end up hardlinking files into the target repository's
object database when source and target repository reside on the same
disk. If the source repository is owned by a different user, then
those hardlinked files may be rewritten at any point in time by the
untrusted user.
When cloning a local source repository that contains symlinks via the
filesystem, Git may create hardlinks to arbitrary user-readable files
on the same filesystem as the target repository in the objects/
directory.
It is supposed to be safe to clone untrusted repositories, even those
unpacked from zip archives or tarballs originating from untrusted
sources, but Git can be tricked to run arbitrary code as part of the
clone.

the ctags documentation) in a situation where the current working directory
has contents that depend on untrusted input.

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.

Security: this release adds support to defend against an email spoofing

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
