(These packages should work on any libc5-based Slackware system)
bind.tgz:  (urgency: high)  (* SECURITY FIX *)
  Upgraded to bind-8.2.2-P5.  This fixes a vulnerability in the processing of
  NXT records that can be used in a DoS attack or (theoretically) be exploited
  to gain access to the server.  It is suggested that everyone running bind
  upgrade to this package as soon as possible.
nfs-server.tgz:  (urgency: high)  (* SECURITY FIX *)
  Upgraded to nfs-server-2.2beta47, to fix a security problem found in
  nfs-server-2.2beta46 and earlier.  By using a long pathname on a directory
  NFS mounted read-write, it may be possible for an attacker to execute
  arbitrary code on the server.  It is recommended that everyone running an
  NFS server upgrade to this package immediately.
pine.tgz  (urgency: high): This updates Pine to version 4.21.  Pine versions
  earlier than 4.0 have a Y2K bug where the date sorting will not work
  properly when the new century begins.
imapd.tgz  (urgency: low):  This updates imapd to the version from Pine 4.21.
sysklogd.tgz (urgency: high):  It's possible to hang a machine and cause a
  denial of service by opening many connections to the syslogd shipped with
  Slackware 4.0 and earlier.  This package upgrades to sysklogd-1.3-33,
  which fixes the problem.
wuftpd.tgz:  (urgency:  low)
  Relinked against -lshadow, enabling MD5 shadow password support.
