rpath security issues (SSA:2024-275-03)

Several packages have been updated for Slackware 15.0 and -current to fix
rpath security issues.

Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
Several ELF objects were found to have rpaths pointing into /tmp, a world
writable directory. This could have allowed a local attacker to launch denial
of service attacks or execute arbitrary code when the affected binaries are
run by placing crafted ELF objects in the /tmp rpath location. All rpaths with
an embedded /tmp path have been scrubbed from the binaries, and makepkg has
gained a lint feature to detect these so that they won't creep back in.
extra/llvm-17.0.6-i586-2_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt.
Remove rpaths from binaries.
(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/cryfs-0.10.3-i586-5_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt.
Remove rpaths from binaries.
(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/espeak-ng-1.50-i586-4_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt.
Remove rpaths from binaries.
(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/libvncserver-0.9.13-i586-4_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt.
Remove rpaths from binaries.
(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/marisa-0.2.6-i586-5_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt.
Remove rpaths from binaries.
(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/mlt-7.4.0-i586-2_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt.
Remove rpaths from binaries.
(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/openobex-1.7.2-i586-6_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt.
Remove rpaths from binaries.
(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/pkgtools-15.0-noarch-44_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt.
makepkg: when looking for ELF objects with --remove-rpaths or
--remove-tmp-rpaths, avoid false hits on files containing 'ELF' as part
of the directory or filename.
Also warn about /tmp rpaths after the package is built.
patches/packages/spirv-llvm-translator-13.0.0-i586-2_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt.
Remove rpaths from binaries.
(* Security fix *)
testing/packages/llvm-18.1.8-i686-2_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt.
Remove rpaths from binaries.
(* Security fix *)

cups-filters/cups-browsed (SSA:2024-275-01)


cups-filters/cups-browsed (SSA:2024-275-01)

New cups-filters (Slackware 15.0) and cups-browsed (Slackware -current)
packages are available to fix a security issue.

Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/cups-filters-1.28.17-i586-2_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt.
Mitigate security issue that could lead to a denial of service or
the execution of arbitrary code.
Rebuilt with --with-browseremoteprotocols=none to disable incoming
connections, since this daemon has been shown to be insecure. If you
actually use cups-browsed, be sure to install the new
/etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf.new containing this line:
BrowseRemoteProtocols none
