New gnutls packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to
fix security issues.
Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/gnutls-3.8.11-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes a security issue:
libgnutls: Fix stack overwrite in gnutls_pkcs11_token_init.
Reported by Luigino Camastra from Aisle Research.
Upstream says this is low severity because the PKCS#11 standard defines a
size limit of 32 characters, and therefore it's the application's fault if
it doesn't check that and reject a longer label. I'm not buying that.
NOTE: Be sure to also install the nettle upgrade.

(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/nettle-3.10.2-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update is required by gnutls-3.8.11.
