-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] x11 (SSA:2006-207-02) New x11 packages are available for Slackware 10.2 and -current to fix security issues. In addition, fontconfig and freetype have been split out from the x11 packages in -current, so if you run -current you'll also need to install those new packages. More details about the issues may be found here: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-announce/2006-... http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-1861 Here are the details from the Slackware 10.2 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/x11-6.8.2-i486-6_slack10.2.tgz: Patched some more possible linux 2.6.x setuid() related bugs: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-announce/2006-...

Give slackware.osuosl.org a try. This is another primary FTP site for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading from ftp.slackware.com. Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab (http://osuosl.org) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting to the Slackware project! :-) Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://slackware.com for additional mirror sites near you.
