Dist Slackware Esm H88
Recently, updated samba distributions have been launched for Slackware, responding to a significant heap overflow vulnerability. It is highly recommended to perform the upgrade without delay.
New samba packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to fix a security issue

Summary

Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog: patches/packages/samba-4.15.12-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded. Fixed a security issue where Samba's Kerberos libraries and AD DC failed to guard against integer overflows when parsing a PAC on a 32-bit system, which allowed an attacker with a forged PAC to corrupt the heap. For more information, see: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2022-42898 (* Security fix *)
