New util-linux packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to
fix a security issue.
Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
patches/packages/util-linux-2.37.4-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This release fixes a security issue in chsh(1) and chfn(8):
By default, these utilities had been linked with libreadline, which allows
the INPUTRC environment variable to be abused to produce an error message
containing data from an arbitrary file. So, don’t link these utilities with
libreadline as it does not use secure_getenv() (or a similar concept), or
sanitize the config file path to avoid vulnerabilities that could occur in
set-user-ID or set-group-ID programs.
For more information, see:

(* Security fix *)
Where to find the new packages:
