Updated udisks and udisks2 packages for Slackware have been released to address a significant buffer overflow vulnerability impacting system security.
New udisks and udisks2 packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, and -current to fix a security issue

Here are the details from the Slackware 14.1 ChangeLog: patches/packages/udisks-1.0.5-i486-1_slack14.1.txz: Upgraded. This update fixes a stack-based buffer overflow when handling long path names. A malicious, local user could use this flaw to create a specially-crafted directory structure that could lead to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the udisks daemon (root).
