  • patches/packages/bind-9.18.1-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz
    This update fixes bugs and the following security issues:
    An assertion could occur in resume_dslookup() if the fetch had been shut
    down earlier.
    Lookups involving a DNAME could trigger an INSIST when “synth-from-dnssec”
    was enabled.
    A synchronous call to closehandle_cb() caused isc__nm_process_sock_buffer()
    to be called recursively, which in turn left TCP connections hanging in the
    CLOSE_WAIT state blocking indefinitely when out-of-order processing was
    disabled.
    The rules for acceptance of records into the cache have been tightened to
    prevent the possibility of poisoning if forwarders send records outside
    the configured bailiwick.

  • patches/packages/openssl-1.1.1n-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz
    This update fixes a high severity security issue:
    The BN_mod_sqrt() function, which computes a modular square root, contains
    a bug that can cause it to loop forever for non-prime moduli.

    (* Security fix *)
  • patches/packages/openssl-solibs-1.1.1n-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz
  • patches/packages/qt5-5.15.3_20220312_33a3f16f-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz
    Thanks to Heinz Wiesinger for updating the fetch_sources.sh script to make
    sure that the QtWebEngine version matches the rest of Qt, which got the
    latest git pull compiling again.
    If a 32-bit userspace is detected, then:
    export QTWEBENGINE_CHROMIUM_FLAGS=“–disable-seccomp-filter-sandbox”
    This works around crashes occuring with 32-bit QtWebEngine applications.
    Thanks to alienBOB.
