New glibc packages are available for Slackware 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, 14.0, and 14.1 to fix a security issue

Here are the details from the Slackware 14.1 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/glibc-2.17-i486-10_slack14.1.txz: Rebuilt.
This update patches a security issue __nss_hostname_digits_dots() function
of glibc which may be triggered through the gethostbyname*() set of
functions. This flaw could allow local or remote attackers to take control
of a machine running a vulnerable version of glibc. Thanks to Qualys for
discovering this issue (also known as the GHOST vulnerability.)

http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2015-0235
(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/glibc-i18n-2.17-i486-10_slack14.1.txz: Rebuilt.
patches/packages/glibc-profile-2.17-i486-10_slack14.1.txz: Rebuilt.
patches/packages/glibc-solibs-2.17-i486-10_slack14.1.txz: Rebuilt.
