From: Slackware Security Team <security@slackware.com> To: slackware-security@slackware.com Subject: [slackware-security] cvs recompiled against updated zlib + /tmp fix Date: Mon, 11 Mar 2002 18:31:37 -0800 (PST) New cvs packages are available to fix security problems. Here's the information from the Slackware 8.0 ChangeLog: ---------------------------- Mon Mar 11 17:54:12 PST 2002 patches/packages/cvs.tgz: Patched to link to the shared zlib on the system instead of statically linking to the included zlib source. Also, use mktemp to create files in /tmp files more safely.
