curl

New curl packages are available for Slackware 9.1, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 11.0,
12.0, 12.1, 12.2, and -current to fix a security issue.

For more information, see:

Here are the details from the Slackware 12.2 ChangeLog:

patches/packages/curl-7.19.6-i486-1_slack12.2.tgz:
This update fixes a security issue where a zero byte embedded in an SSL
or TLS certificate could fool cURL into validating the security of a
connection to a system that the certificate was not issued for. It has
been reported that at least one Certificate Authority allowed such
certificates to be issued.
For more information, see:
http://curl.haxx.se/docs/security.html
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-2417
(* 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.
