New texlive 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/texlive-2023.230322-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update patches a security issue:
LuaTeX before 1.17.0 allows execution of arbitrary shell commands when
compiling a TeX file obtained from an untrusted source. This occurs
because luatex-core.lua lets the original io.popen be accessed. This also
affects TeX Live before 2023 r66984 and MiKTeX before 23.5.
Thanks to Johannes Schoepfer.

(* Security fix *)
