May 15, 2009
New cyrus-sasl packages are available for Slackware 10.2, 11.0, 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, and -current to fix a security issue
Summary
Here are the details from the Slackware 12.2 ChangeLog: patches/packages/cyrus-sasl-2.1.23-i486-1_slack12.2.tgz: Upgraded to cyrus-sasl-2.1.23.

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.
