New glibc packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to fix
a security issue.

Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/aaa_glibc-solibs-2.33-i586-6_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt.
patches/packages/glibc-2.33-i586-6_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt.
This update fixes a security issue:
The iconv() function in the GNU C Library versions 2.39 and older may
overflow the output buffer passed to it by up to 4 bytes when converting
strings to the ISO-2022-CN-EXT character set, which may be used to crash
an application or overwrite a neighbouring variable.
For more information, see:
https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-2961
(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/glibc-i18n-2.33-i586-6_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt.
patches/packages/glibc-profile-2.33-i586-6_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt.
