New httpd 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:httpd (SSA:2019-096-01) Update for Slackware
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/httpd-2.4.39-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded.
This release contains security fixes and improvements.
In Apache HTTP Server 2.4 releases 2.4.17 to 2.4.38, with MPM event, worker
or prefork, code executing in less-privileged child processes or threads
(including scripts executed by an in-process scripting interpreter) could
execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the parent process by
manipulating the scoreboard.
