patches/packages/glibc-zoneinfo-2023b-noarch-1_slack15.0.txz:  Upgraded.
  This package provides the latest timezone updates.
patches/packages/tar-1.34-x86_64-2_slack15.0.txz:  Rebuilt.
  GNU Tar through 1.34 has a one-byte out-of-bounds read that results in use
  of uninitialized memory for a conditional jump. Exploitation to change the
  flow of control has not been demonstrated. The issue occurs in from_header
  in list.c via a V7 archive in which mtime has approximately 11 whitespace
  characters.
  Thanks to marav for the heads-up.
