Slackware 1129 Published by

New irssi 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/irssi-1.1.3-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes a security issue: Use after free when sending SASL login
to the server found by ilbelkyr. May affect the stability of Irssi. SASL
logins may fail, especially during (manual and automated) reconnect.
