Upgraded to firefox-3.0.
Congratulations to the Firefox people for the nice improvements, as well as
such an impressive number of first-day downloads. :-) We didn't put this

jdk 6u10_beta - 1 14 Jun 08, 18:14 extra/jdk-6

jre 6u10_beta - 1 14 Jun 08, 18:14 slackware/l
Upgraded to Java(TM) 2 Platform Standard
Edition Runtime Environment Version 6.0 update 10 beta. This is a BETA
VERSION and may contain problems, but it may also fix an issue with CUPS
printing. If this fix is important to you, it may be worth giving this
package a try at your own risk. For now, -current seems like the only prudent
place for this package. Hopefully we will see official 6u10 releases soon.

rdesktop 1.6.0 - 1 28 May 08, 05:12 xap
Upgraded to rdesktop-1.6.0.
According to the rdesktop ChangeLog, this contains a:
"* Fix for potential vulnerability against compromised/malicious servers
(reported by iDefense)"
This package build also includes the new alsa driver (--with-sound=alsa),
though I couldn't get local sound redirection. Perhaps it was just my
command line error though, so the driver remains included for testing.

kernel-generic 2.6.24.5 - 2 01 May 08, 03:36 a
Patched to fix a security issue in
fs/dnotify.c. The use of dnotify (largely replaced by inotify on 2.6.x
systems) could lead to a local DoS, or possibly a local root hole. We said
we wouldn't make changes now unless something was "critical" -- and it seems
we got what we wished for. ;-) This flaw will also be addressed in the
kernels for previous releases as soon as possible. The patch itself may be
found in source/k/linux-2.6.24.5-CVE-2008-1375-patch/.
For additional information (when the CVE candidate is opened), see:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1375
All the kernel packages below should also be considered security fixes.
