14.3 Keeping -Current

- -
-

14.3.1 slackware-security mailing list

- -

Whenever a security problem affects Slackware, an email is sent to all subscribers to -the slackware-security@slackware.com mailing list. Reports are -sent out for vulnerabilities of any part of Slackware, apart from the software in /extra or /pasture. These security -announcement emails include details on obtaining updated versions of Slackware packages -or work-arounds, if any.

- -

Subscribing to Slackware mailing lists is covered in Section 2.2.2.

-
- -
-

14.3.2 -The /patches directory

- -

Whenever updated packages are released for a version of Slackware (usually only to fix -a security problem, in the case of already released Slackware versions), they are placed -in the /patches directory. The full path to these patches will -depend on the mirror you are using, but will take the form /path/to/slackware-x.x/patches/.

- -

Before installing these packages, it is a good idea to verify the md5sum of the package. md5sum(1) is a -commandline utility that creates a “unique” mathematical hash of the file. If -a single bit of the file has been changed, it will generate a different md5sum value.

- - - - - -
-
-% md5sum package-<ver>-<arch>-<rev>.tgz
-6341417aa1c025448b53073a1f1d287d  package-<ver>-<arch>-<rev>.tgz
-
-
- -

You should then check this against the line for the new package in the CHECKSUMS.md5 file in the root of the slackware-$VERSION directory (also -in the /patches directory for patches) or in the email to the -slackware-security mailing list.

- -

If you have a file with the md5sum values in it, you can source it instead with the --c option to md5sum.

- - - - - -
-
-# md5sum -c CHECKSUMS.md5
-./ANNOUNCE.10_0: OK
-./BOOTING.TXT: OK
-./COPYING: OK
-./COPYRIGHT.TXT: OK
-./CRYPTO_NOTICE.TXT: OK
-./ChangeLog.txt: OK
-./FAQ.TXT: FAILED
-
-
- -

As you can see, any files that md5sum evaluates as correct -are listed “OK” while files that fail are labelled -“FAILED”. (Yes, this was an insult to your -intelligence. Why do you put up with me?)
