  • a/ed-1.14.2-arm-1.txz
  • a/glibc-zoneinfo-2017a-arm-1.txz
  • a/libcgroup-0.41-arm-1.txz
    Fixed rc.cgred to source the correct config file.
    Changed /usr/bin/cgexec from setuid root to setgid cgred.
    Don't remove the entire cgroup file system with “rc.cgconfig stop”.
    Thanks to chris.willing.
  • a/util-linux-2.29.2-arm-1.txz
    This update fixes a potential security issue that allows any local user
    to send SIGKILL to other processes with root privileges. Note that
    Slackware is not vulnerable since we do not use /bin/su from util-linux,
    and the bug only affects systems that use PAM.
