Recent updates to system packages for Slackware have rectified significant security vulnerabilities. The release includes detailed guidance on how to seamlessly upgrade your installation.
New cups packages are available for Slackware 12.0, and -current to fix security issues

Summary

Here are the details from the Slackware 12.0 ChangeLog: a/cups-1.3.7-i486-1_slack12.0.tgz: Upgraded to cups-1.3.7. This version of CUPS fixes some buffer overflows in the GIF image filter and in cgiCompileSearch. Those running CUPS servers should upgrade. For more information on these security issues, please see: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2008-0047 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2008-1373 (* 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.
