Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog: patches/packages/tftp-hpa-5.4-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded. This update fixes bugs and security issues: Fix several security-relevant bugs in path validation (tftpd/path.c): an uninitialized buffer read and a broken path tokenizer could let a crafted or unlucky request bypass path restrictions or crash the daemon. Fix buffer overflows in the tftp client: an unbounded strcpy() when building requests, an out-of-bounds write when putting multiple files to a remote directory, and an unbounded write into the interactive command-line argument array. Fix an out-of-bounds read while scanning request fields in tftpd, and an incorrect address family used when creating the per-transfer socket on platforms without recvmsg(). (* Security fix *)
