Summary
Here are the details from the Slackware 12.0 ChangeLog: patches/packages/samba-3.0.28-i486-1_slack12.0.tgz: Upgraded to samba-3.0.28. Samba 3.0.28 is a security release in order to address a boundary failure in GETDC mailslot processing that can result in a buffer overrun leading to possible code execution.

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.
