This release contains security fixes and improvements.
A potentially exploitable crash in TransportSecurityInfo used for SSL
can be triggered by data stored in the local cache in the user profile
directory. This issue is only exploitable in combination with another
vulnerability allowing an attacker to write data into the local cache
or from locally installed malware. This issue also triggers a
non-exploitable startup crash for users switching between the Nightly
and Release versions of Firefox if the same profile is used.

Applied fixed patch - this has a better chance of working now. I've checked

previous build dumped onto my main system (not even in "make install"),
but not into the package itself. I no longer own an HP printer and will
never buy another one, so if there are any remaining problems please report.

2018-09-14 | Thu Sep 13 21:41:51 UTC 2018...a/sysvinit-scripts-2.1-noarch-20.txz: Rebuilt.
rc.6: it was reported by birdboy that JFS is not properly unmounted unless
the order of unmounting local filesystems followed by remounting the root
filesystem read-only is inverted. I tried that, and although it did get rid
of a "/ filesystem is busy" error during shutdown, the JFS / filesystem was
still checked at boot (and found to be clean). I believe that the existing
order of unmounting non-root filesystems followed by remounting the root
filesystem as read-only is the correct order, and found that putting
another sync between these also gets rid of the error on shutdown, so I've
done that. When using JFS as the root filesystem there's still another
similar error message that's generated earlier in the boot, though. I'm
unable to find any way to shut down a JFS root partition in a way that
leaves it clean enough that fsck will not check it at boot, but it is always
found to be clean so this should only be cosmetic. I recall this behavior of
JFS going all the way back to when it was first added to the kernel. If
anyone has a better fix, I'll take a look at it, but in my opinion it's not
really anything to worry about.
ap/ghostscript-9.25-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
This release fixes problems with argument handling, some unintended

(specifically accessing ICC profile files), and some additional

isolinux/initrd.img: Rebuilt.
Use the ter-114v terminus font. It has been reported that the font we were
using (ter-v14v) restricts the available console colors from 16 to 8 due
to needing an extra bit for the higher number of available glyphs (though
in testing here I couldn't see any difference). The new font covers
ISO8859-1, ISO8859-15, and Windows-1252 codepages. I'm still not sure it's
the best choice, so additional input is welcomed.
Thanks to bormant.
usb-and-pxe-installers/usbboot.img: Rebuilt.

a/sysvinit-2.90-x86_64-2.txz: Rebuilt.
sysvinit-2.90 added an undocumented feature that tries to spawn agetty
if it sees console= in the kernel command line. Avoiding the debate about
whether this code belongs in init at all, at least such a change should
be documented, and probably made opt-in. This patch disables the new
behavior unless "sysvinit_agetty" is also seen in the kernel command line.
It seems like this might have been something added for Hurd, and it might
be wise to stick to what we've got rather than following upstream on this
particular package. If anyone notices any other odd behavior, please let
me know. Thanks to shastah.

may trick a user to use reverse mirroring on an attacker controlled FTP
server, resulting in the removal of all files in the current working

shipped. This meant that any user with access to the D-Bus system bus was
able to access the related API without authentication. The result was an
unspecified impact on the networking stack.
Thanks to Matthias Gerstner for discovering this issue.

testing/packages/glibc-2.28-x86_64-1.txz: Added.
These packages are in /testing pending FTBFS analysis. They seem to work
fine here, but with a few header file deprecations and some other
possible API changes and incompatibilities (see the NEWS file), I expect
there will be some changes required to various packages. Feel free to
test them out though. Because of changes to the way glibc is built and
installed that started with the glibc-2.27 packages, you can upgrade to
these packages and also (if you wish) downgrade back to glibc-2.27 using
upgradepkg.

2018-07-28 | Fri Jul 27 21:01:22 UTC 2018...Hey folks, my first order of business here needs to be a huge thank you to
everyone who has donated at https://paypal.me/volkerdi to help keep this
project going. As most of you are already aware by now, the financal situation
here at Slackware HQ has not been great for many years, including not getting
any pay for the last two years and forcing me (and my family) to live very
frugally while I continued to work on the project hoping I'd figure out a way
to actually monitize it by the time that Slackware 15.0 is ready for release.
I'm not trying to cast any blame regarding the situation. Really, I can only
blame myself for not trying to build my own ship years ago when things began
to not really work out. I'm still looking into sustainable funding options
such as Patreon or Liberapay (or perhaps both), and I'm open to other ideas.
I'm no longer in immediate danger of going broke, and I'm no longer
entertaining the notion of joining my friends at the local potato chip factory
in order to pay my bills. :) My family is grateful and humbled by the support
we've received. Hope we'll be able to keep this project going for a long time.
Also, I realize that the website lacks updates and needs attention and I will
need to find some time to devote to that. I've never been much of a website
designer, and the slackware.com site is basically left over from work done by
former Walnut Creek / BSDi employees. I've never seen able to make much sense
of the SQL backend. The interface to edit and post articles is clunky (and
I'm not sure the PHP for that even works any more). When I've posted articles
in recent years, I've done so by editing the main page already processed from
PHP into HTML, which is pretty darn messy as I'm sure you can imagine. I tend
to prioritize the distribution itself over other demands on my time - that's
clearly a lot to do with how things ended up the way they did.
So, I guess that's the report for now. Lots more work to do and not enough
time to do it in... that part I don't see changing moving forward. :)
Thanks very much again. I'll do my best to keep you all posted.
- Pat

This actually hasn't been needed by any Slackware package since koffice in
KDE3, and this particular version won't work with the Trinity Desktop
Environment, which is essentially a fork of KDE 3.5 updated to compile and
run with modern libraries and development tools. I can't see much point in
keeping it around. Thanks to _gin.

Applied some patches that other distributions have been using for a while:
Fix glamor so that the return value from glamor_fds_from_pixmap matches
what's expected (thanks to Darth Vader for pointing out these patches).
Autobind secondary GPUs to the master as output sink / offload source. This
seems like a beneficial patch until/unless DEs start to handle this.
For nvidia cards, if they are GeForce 8 or newer use the modesetting driver
by default. Seems to be recommmended by upstream where they indicate that
fixes going into nouveau are primarily to target older cards for legacy
support and that the modesetting ddx is preferable for newer ones:

2018-07-18 | Tue Jul 17 21:16:10 UTC 2018...Happy 25th anniversary to the Slackware 1.00 release! When the original
announcement went out on Usenet, I believe it had a UTC timestamp which has
led to some confusion over whether the anniversary falls on the 16th (which
was the date when I made the post) or on the 17th (which is when most people
first saw it)... but really, what's the difference? We can celebrate on both
days as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for sticking with the project all these
years. Glad I was able to help. :)
Here's a link to the 1.00 announcement:

branch if that becomes necessary.
