Summary

Here are the details from the Slackware 12.0 ChangeLog: patches/packages/rsync-2.6.9-i486-2_slack12.0.tgz: Patched some security bugs. For more information, see: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2007-4091 (* Security fix *)

Where Find New Packages

HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com? Give slackware.osuosl.org a try. This is another primary FTP site for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading directly from ftp.slackware.com.
Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab (https://osuosl.org/) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting to the Slackware project! :-)
Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://www.slackware.com/ for additional mirror sites near you.
