Slackware 14.0: SSA:2013-181-01 High: Mozilla Security Update
slackware
June 30, 2013
New mozilla-firefox packages are available for Slackware 13.37, 14.0, and -current to fix security issues
Summary
Here are the details from the Slackware 14.0 ChangeLog: patches/packages/mozilla-firefox-17.0.7esr-i486-1_slack14.0.txz: Upgraded. This release contains security fixes and improvements. For more information, see: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox-esr/ (* Security fix *) We had to switch to ESR here as well, as there's a problem running Firefox 22.0 on Slackware 14.0 under KDE (crash when oxygen-gtk2 is installed). Forcing people to uninstall oxygen-gtk2 isn't really an option for a security fix, and upgrading to the latest oxygen-gtk2 did not help. It's possible that future Firefox/Thunderbird security updates will always come from the ESR branch.
