Slackware 1133 Published by

New bind packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and -current to fix a security issue.



Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/bind-9.11.6_P1-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes a security issue:
The TCP client quota set using the tcp-clients option could be exceeded
in some cases. This could lead to exhaustion of file descriptors.
