Here are the details from the Slackware 13.0 ChangeLog:

+————————–+

patches/packages/samba-3.2.15-i486-1_slack13.0.txz:

This update fixes the following security issues.

A misconfigured /etc/passwd with no defined home directory could allow

security restrictions to be bypassed.

mount.cifs could allow a local user to read the first line of an arbitrary

file if installed setuid. (On Slackware, it was not installed setuid)

Specially crafted SMB requests could cause a denial of service.

For more information, see:

Where to find the new packages:

HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com?

Give slackware.osuosl.org a try. This is another primary FTP site

for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading

directly 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.
