Dist Slackware Esm H88
Recent OpenSSH updates launched for Slackware address critical vulnerabilities and improve overall system security measures.
New openssh packages are available for Slackware 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, 14.0, 14.1, and -current to fix security issues

Summary

Here are the details from the Slackware 14.1 ChangeLog: patches/packages/openssh-7.2p2-i486-1_slack14.1.txz: Upgraded. This release fixes a security bug: sshd(8): sanitise X11 authentication credentials to avoid xauth command injection when X11Forwarding is enabled. For more information, see: https://www.openssh.org/txt/x11fwd.adv https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2016-3115 (* Security fix *)
