news 28 Posted September 10, 2016 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] gtk+2 (SSA:2016-254-02) New gtk+2 packages are available for Slackware 14.1, 14.2, and -current to fix a security issue. Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/gtk+2-2.24.31-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded. This update fixes a security issue: Integer overflow in the gdk_cairo_set_source_pixbuf function in gdk/gdkcairo.c allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a large image file, which triggers a large memory allocation. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-7447 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Where to find the new packages: +-----------------------------+ Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab (http://osuosl.org) for donating FTP and rsync hosting to the Slackware project! :-) Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://slackware.com for additional mirror sites near you.
