news 28 Posted December 27, 2010 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] pidgin (SSA:2010-361-01) New pidgin packages are available for Slackware 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, 13.0, 13.1, and -current to fix a denial of service security issue. Here are the details from the Slackware 13.1 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/pidgin-2.7.9-i486-1_slack13.1.txz: Upgraded. Fixed denial-of-service flaw in the MSN protocol. (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Where to find the new packages: +-----------------------------+ HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com? Give slackware.osuosl.org a try. This is another primary FTP site for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading directly from ftp.slackware.com. Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab (http://osuosl.org) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting to the Slackware project! :-) Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://slackware.com for additional mirror sites near you.
