Slackware 15.0 2023-284-04 Critical: Libcaca Crash Issue

slackware
Calendar Grey October 11, 2023
Dist Slackware Esm H88
Updated libcaca versions resolve a vulnerability in Slackware 15.0 and -current according to the latest security advisory announcement.
New libcaca 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/libcaca-0.99.beta20-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded. Fixed a crash bug (a crafted file defining width of zero leads to divide by zero and a crash). Seems to be merely a bug rather than a security issue, but I'd been meaning to get beta20 building so this was a good excuse. Thanks to marav. For more information, see: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2022-0856 (* Security fix *)
