New libiodbc packages are available for Slackware 13.1, 13.37, 14.0, 14.1, and -current to fix a security issue. . -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] libiodbc (SSA:2013-350-01) New libiodbc packages are available for Slackware 13.1, 13.37, 14.0, 14.1, and -current to fix a security issue. Here are the details from the Slackware 14.1 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/libiodbc-3.52.8-i486-1_slack14.1.txz: Upgraded. This update fixes an rpath pointing to a location in /tmp that was found in two test programs (iodbctest and iodbctestw). This could have allowed a local attacker with write access to /tmp to add modified libraries (and execute arbitrary code) as any user running the test programs. Thanks to Christopher Oliver for the bug report.
