[slackware-security] glibc (SSA:2010-295-01)

New glibc packages are available for Slackware 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, 13.0, 13.1, and -current to fix a security issue.

Here are the details from the Slackware 13.1 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/glibc-2.11.1-i486-4_slack13.1.txz: Rebuilt.
Patched "dynamic linker expands $ORIGIN in setuid library search path".
This security issue allows a local attacker to gain root if they can create
a hard link to a setuid root binary. Thanks to Tavis Ormandy.
