New bluez 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/bluez-5.71-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes a security issue:
It may have been possible for an attacker within Bluetooth range to inject
keystrokes (and possibly execute commands) while devices were discoverable.
Thanks to marav for the heads-up.
