New espgs or ghostscript packages are available for 11.0, 12.0, and -current

Here are the details from the Slackware 12.0 ChangeLog:

patches/packages/espgs-8.15.4-i486-3_slack12.0.tgz:

Thanks to Chris Evans and Will Drewry of Google Security for their work
on discovering and demonstrating the overflow.
(* 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.
