The following two security updates are available for Slackware Linux:

- glibc (SSA:2010-301-01)
- mozilla-firefox (SSA:2010-301-02)



[slackware-security] glibc (SSA:2010-301-01)

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-i486-5_slack13.1.txz: Rebuilt.
Patched "The GNU C library dynamic linker will dlopen arbitrary DSOs
during setuid loads." This security issue allows a local attacker to
gain root by specifying an unsafe DSO in the library search path to be
used with a setuid binary in LD_AUDIT mode.
Bug found by Tavis Ormandy (with thanks to Ben Hawkes and Julien Tinnes).

http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2010/Oct/344
(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/glibc-i18n-2.11.1-i486-5_slack13.1.txz: Rebuilt.
patches/packages/glibc-profile-2.11.1-i486-5_slack13.1.txz: Rebuilt.
patches/packages/glibc-solibs-2.11.1-i486-5_slack13.1.txz: Upgraded.
(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/glibc-zoneinfo-2.11.1-noarch-5_slack13.1.txz: Upgraded.
Rebuilt to tzcode2010n and tzdata2010n.

HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com?
Give slackware.osuosl.org a try. This is another primary FTP site
for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading
directly from ftp.slackware.com.

Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab
(http://osuosl.org) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting
to the Slackware project!
