New sudo packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, 15.0,
and -current to fix security issues.

Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/sudo-1.9.12p1-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
Fixed a potential out-of-bounds write for passwords smaller than 8
characters when passwd authentication is enabled.
This does not affect configurations that use other authentication
methods such as PAM, AIX authentication or BSD authentication.
