perl

New perl packages are available for Slackware 13.1, 13.37, 14.0, and -current
to fix a security issue.

Here are the details from the Slackware 14.0 ChangeLog:

patches/packages/perl-5.16.3-i486-1_slack14.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes a flaw in the rehashing code that can be exploited
to carry out a denial of service attack against code that uses arbitrary
user input as hash keys.
For more information, see:

(* Security fix *)
