New mcabber packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and -current
to fix a security issue.

Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog:

patches/packages/loudmouth-1.5.3-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded.
This update is needed for the mcabber security update.
patches/packages/mcabber-1.0.4-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes a security issue which can lead to a malicious actor
MITMing a conversation, or adding themselves as an entity on a third
parties roster (thereby granting themselves the associated priviledges
such as observing when the user is online).
For more information, see:

(* Security fix *)
