Fri Mar 24 19:42:46 UTC 2023

  • patches/packages/glibc-zoneinfo-2023b-noarch-1_slack14.2.txz
    This package provides the latest timezone updates.
  • patches/packages/tar-1.29-i586-2_slack14.2.txz
    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.
