[slackware-security] mailx

New mailx packages are available for Slackware 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, 14.0, 14.1,
and -current to fix security issues.

Here are the details from the Slackware 14.1 ChangeLog:

patches/packages/mailx-12.5-i486-2_slack14.1.txz: Rebuilt.
Drop SSLv2 support (no longer supported by OpenSSL), and fix security issues
that could allow a local attacker to cause mailx to execute arbitrary
shell commands through the use of a specially-crafted email address.
For more information, see:
