This release fixes security issue in chsh(1) and chfn(8):
CVE-2022-0563
The readline library uses INPUTRC= environment variable to get a path
to the library config file. When the library cannot parse the
specified file, it prints an error message containing data from the
file.
Unfortunately, the library does not use secure_getenv() (or a similar
concept), or sanitize the config file path to avoid vulnerabilities that
could occur if set-user-ID or set-group-ID programs.

I concur. I have installed the kernel packages 5.16.9 (with modules compressed with zstd) and here goes:
Code:
308M /lib/modules/5.16.7
87M /lib/modules/5.16.9
For what it's worth I attach a diff of the config files (which includes a few other modifications some probably due to having built with an older gcc version than in Slackware64-15.0).
I also tried to compile linux with zst compression, it works fine. Thanks Didier
