June 6, 2014
New libtasn1 packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, and -current to fix security issues
Summary
Here are the details from the Slackware 14.1 ChangeLog: patches/packages/libtasn1-3.6-i486-1_slack14.1.txz: Upgraded. Multiple security issues have been corrected in the libtasn1 library. These errors allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service, or possibly to execute arbitrary code.
