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".]
  split --line-bytes with a mixture of very long and short lines no longer
  overwrites the heap.

# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line
# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must
# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
# customary to leave one space after the ':'.

coreutils: textutils packages. Most of these programs have significant
coreutils: advantages over their Unix counterparts, such as greater speed,
coreutils: additional options, and fewer arbitrary limits.
