June 20, 2019
New bind packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and -current to fix a denial-of-service security issue
Summary
Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog: patches/packages/bind-9.11.8-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded. Fixed a race condition in dns_dispatch_getnext() that could cause an assertion failure if a significant number of incoming packets were rejected. For more information, see: https://kb.isc.org/docs/cve-2019-6471 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2019-6471 (* Security fix *)
