l/pulseaudio-9.0-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
       This release fixes many bugs, including this one that was commonly reported
       during the Slackware 14.2 development cycle:
       "Automatic routing improvements:
       In 8.0, PulseAudio started to automatically switch to another profile when
       the device associated with the current profile is unplugged. That seemingly
       smart thing had some serious unintended consequences. One typical issue was
       that when unplugging headphones, PulseAudio might switch to S/PDIF output
       and not switch back to headphones when they are plugged in again. Another
       issue was that HDMI in many cases appears to get temporarily unplugged when
       the monitor goes to sleep mode, or even when switching the refresh rate of
       the monitor -- PulseAudio 8.0 would move audio away from the HDMI monitor in
       these cases and not move the audio back to HDMI when the monitor becomes
       available again. These issues are now fixed."

       This kernel release fixes two security issues:
       Corrupted offset allows for arbitrary decrements in compat
       IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE setsockopt. Risk: High. Impact: Kernel memory
       corruption, leading to elevation of privileges or kernel code execution.
       This occurs in a compat_setsockopt() call that is normally restricted to
       root, however, Linux 3/4 kernels that support user and network namespaces
       can allow an unprivileged user to trigger this functionality. This is
       exploitable from inside a container.
       Out of bounds reads when processing IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE setsockopt.
       Risk: Medium. Impact: Out of bounds heap memory access, leading to a
       Denial of Service (or possibly heap disclosure or further impact).

Slackware 14.2 x86_64 stable is released!

The long development cycle (the Linux community has lately been living in
"interesting times", as they say) is finally behind us, and we're proud to
announce the release of Slackware 14.2. The new release brings many updates
and modern tools, has switched from udev to eudev (no systemd), and adds
well over a hundred new packages to the system. Thanks to the team, the
upstream developers, the dedicated Slackware community, and everyone else
who pitched in to help make this release a reality.

The ISOs are off to be replicated, a 6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided
32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD. Please consider supporting the Slackware
project by picking up a copy from store.slackware.com. We're taking
pre-orders now, and offer a discount if you sign up for a subscription.

Have fun! :-)
