Slackware 15.0: 2024-105-01 Moderate: Security Update for Less Package

Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog: patches/packages/less-653-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded. This update patches a security issue: less through 653 allows OS command execution via a newline character in the name of a file, because quoting is mishandled in filename.c. Exploitation typically requires use with attacker-controlled file names, such as the files extracted from an untrusted archive. Exploitation also requires the LESSOPEN environment variable, but this is set by default in many common cases.
