Good hello, and welcome to the third and final release candidate for Slackware
15.0. We're 99% frozen at this point and are mostly looking for regression or
other bug reports that might be able to be addressed before this goes stable.
Of course, the management here reserves the right to make exceptions... that
5.15.15 kernel version has a nice ring to it. If your requests didn't make it
into this iteration, perhaps we will revisit them for the next -current cycle.
Some were just a little too late but will more than likely be needed next time
(I'm looking at Didier's grubconfig), while others are just out of scope for
the main tree where I like to abide by YAGNI as much as possible.
Anyway, let's get some testing done and we'll be there soon. Enjoy! :-)

a/cryptsetup-2.4.3-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
This update addresses a multi-step attack on LUKS2 format by orchestrating
LUKS2 reencryption metadata in existing LUKS2 header. An attacker is able to
trigger permanent data decryption (ciphertext->plaintext transformation) on
part of data device on next LUKS2 device activation. Attacker does _not_
have to know passphrase or decrypted volume encryption key.
cryptsetup versions older than 2.2.0 are not affected by this, because they
do not support online LUKS2 reencryption.
