[slackware-security] gxine format string vulnerability (SSA:2005-203-04)
New gxine packages are available for Slackware 10.0, 10.1, and -current to
fix a format string security issue.
More details about this issue may be found in the Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database:

Here are the details from the Slackware 10.1 ChangeLog:

patches/packages/gxine-0.4.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gxine-0.4.6.
