New gzip packages are available for Slackware 13.0 (64-bit) and -current to
fix a security issue.

More details about this issue may be found in the Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database:

https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2010-0001

Here are the details from the Slackware64 13.0 ChangeLog:

patches/packages/gzip-1.4-x86_64-1_slack13.0.tgz: Upgraded.
gzip -d could segfault and/or clobber the stack, possibly leading to
arbitrary code execution. This affects x86_64 but not 32-bit systems.
For more information, see:
https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2010-0001
(* 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.
