New gnutls packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to
fix security issues.

Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:

patches/packages/gnutls-3.8.4-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes two medium severity security issues:
libgnutls: Fix side-channel in the deterministic ECDSA.
Reported by George Pantelakis (#1516).
libgnutls: Fixed a bug where certtool crashed when verifying a certificate
chain with more than 16 certificates. Reported by William Woodruff (#1525)
and yixiangzhike (#1527).
