Also updated is Firefox in Slackware -current.

New versions of the mozilla-plugins symlink creation package are also out for Slackware 10.0 and 10.1, and a new version of the jre-symlink package for Slackware -current.



Here are the details from the Slackware 10.1 ChangeLog:

symlink for Mozilla.
patches/packages/mozilla-1.7.8-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mozilla-1.7.8.

attacker to run arbitrary code. The Mozilla Suite version 1.7.7 is only
partially vulnerable. For more details, see:
