Slackware-14.1 ChangeLog (2013-03-27)
Wed Mar 27 06:09:29 UTC 2013
If we're not dropping back to 3.4.x yet (no firm decision has been made
about whether we should stick with LTS branches for release), then there's
no harm in going forward. Enjoy the latest kernel. :)
Packages
Rebuilt
- l/qt-4.8.4-i486-3.txz
Patched moc to fix issues with the latest boost library.
Thanks to Corrado Franco. - isolinux/initrd.img
Because the majority of systems will not need KMS in the installer to have
working video (in fact, more are likely to run into problems due to KMS
than will be helped by it), the default boot labels have added “nomodeset”
to disable KMS. If you actually need KMS, boot using the new label kms.s.
Upgraded
- n/bind-9.9.2_P2-i486-1.txz
This update fixes a critical defect in BIND 9 that allows an attacker
to cause excessive memory consumption in named or other programs linked
to libdns.

(* Security fix *) - n/dhcp-4.2.5_P1-i486-1.txz
This update replaces the included BIND 9 code that the DHCP programs
link against. Those contained a defect that could possibly lead to
excessive memory consumption and a denial of service.
