  • l/glibc-2.37-x86_64-2.txz
    [PATCH] Account for grouping in printf width (bug 23432).
    This issue could cause a overflow with sprintf in the corner case where an
    application computes the size of buffer to be exactly enough to fit the
    digits in question, but sprintf ends up writing a couple of extra bytes.
    Thanks to marav for the heads-up.

    (* Security fix *)
  • testing/packages/samba-4.17.5-x86_64-2.txz
    Build with the bundled Heimdal instead of the system MIT Kerberos, since MIT
    Kerberos has more issues when Samba is used as an AD DC. I'd appreciate any
    feedback on the “Samba on Slackware 15” thread on LQ about how well this
    works. Although it's not the sort of change I'd normally make in a -stable
    release such as Slackware 15.0, in this case I'm considering it if it can
    be done painlessly for any existing users… but I'll need to see some
    reports about this. I'd like to note that yes, of course we saw the
    “experimental” label in the configure flag we used to build Samba, but we
    also saw another prominent Linux distribution go ahead and use it anyway. :)
    And the Samba package built against MIT Kerberos cooked in the previous
    -current development cycle for a couple of years without any objections.
    Anyway, hopefully we'll get some testing from folks out there with networks
    that use AD and go from there.
    Thanks to Rowland Penny of the Samba team for clarifying this situation.
