New xrdb packages are available for Slackware 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, 13.0, 13.1, and -current to fix a security issue.
Here are the details from the Slackware 13.1 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/xrdb-1.0.9-i486-1_slack13.1.txz: Upgraded. This fixes a security issue where improperly sanitized input could lead to privilege escalation or arbitrary command execution as root.

Where to find the new packages: +-----------------------------+
HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com? Give slackware.osuosl.org a try. This is another primary FTP site for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading directly from ftp.slackware.com.
Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab (http://osuosl.org) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting to the Slackware project! :-)
