This update fixes a heap overflow problem in video/SDL_pixels.c in SDL.
By crafting a malicious .BMP file, an attacker can cause the application
using this library to crash, denial of service, or code execution.
Thanks to marav for the heads-up.

a/sysvinit-scripts-15.1-noarch-3.txz: Rebuilt.
rc.6: support an optional rc.firewall_shutdown script. Most firewall scripts
don't need a formal shutdown, but in some cases it can be useful. If your
rc.firewall script supports a stop parameter, the shutdown script should just
contain "/etc/rc.d/rc.firewall stop", or rc.firewall_shutdown could also be
a symlink to the rc.firewall script in that case. But how the script works
is (like the rc.firewall script support) completely up to the admin.
Thanks to metaed for the suggestion.
Please note that contrary to the request, I placed this *after* the network
is shut down to avoid removing firewall protection while the interfaces are
still active. Whether it'll work in this place for metaed's (or anyone
else's) needs, I'm not sure. It's a start. Feel free to weigh in on the LQ
thread if you have any ideas for improvement, but the goal here is to keep
this support as simple and flexible as possible.

My script does the job also for Slackware 15.0 (In fact, it does for current/15.0 - x86_64/x86) http://marav8.free.fr/report/
If someone want to deal with it
Unfortunately, I can't assume this task. Mainly, because of nature of my job. Being geologist means also disappearing in the Wild at random times for random periods. Literally.
And, as impressive is the 3G network in my country (heck, even for my surprise I had signal even on middle of the Siberian taiga) I can't assume that I can stay always on-line, even usually I carry anywhere I go my old (but seems indestructible) Dell Inspiron N5030 laptop powered by a Core2 Duo P8600 processor.

Last year, I asked Modos if they were considering developing an API
They said:
Code:
We have no specific plans for an API at this time, but it's not something I'd rule out entirely.
Man, I do not asked for my own use, but for a general purpose. For the Greater Good, if you want. Still I believe that a thread like this will be great for those who use -stable and also as "propaganda" for -stable.
I for one, I read often directly the ChangeLog file, because the way I update my computers is by using a local rsync mirror and a custom script.

And I answered in a general way
Since there will probably not be an API on LQ, I can only maintain this thread.
However, the tool is available for all the latest versions of Slackware.
Anyone can create a new thread for 15.0 if they want to
My script can even send an email when the changelog is published

Hey folks, Merry Christmas and Hanukkah Sameach! Figured it was about time to
get some kind of kernel activity going again, but it most definitely belongs
in /testing for now. I've been trying to shape this up for weeks, but there
are still issues, and maybe someone out there can help. The biggest problem
is that the 32-bit kernels crash on boot. Initially there's some sort of
Intel ME failure (this is on a Thinkpad X1E). If those modules are
blacklisted, then the kernel will go on to crash loading the snd_hda_intel
module. The other issue is that I've got a 4K panel in this machine, and
have always appended the kernel option video=1920x1080@60 to put the console
in HD instead, and then loaded a Terminus console font to make the text even
larger. With these kernels, that option is completely ignored. I've tried some
other syntax I've seen online to no avail. And when the Terminus font is
loaded the text gets *even smaller* for some reason.
So be careful of these kernels (especially the 32-bit ones), but I welcome
any hints about what's going on here or if there are config changes that
might get this working properly. Is anyone out there running a 6.x kernel on
bare metal 32-bit x86?
Cheers!
