New xorg-server packages are available for Slackware 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, 13.0,
13.1, and -current to fix a security issue.
Here are the details from the Slackware 13.1 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/xorg-server-1.7.7-i486-2_slack13.1.txz: Rebuilt.
Patched to prevent overwriting stack memory and bypassing security mechanisms
on systems that use a 2.6 Linux kernel. Reported by Rafal Wojtczuk.

(* Security fix *)

Where to find the new packages:
+-----------------------------+
HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com?
Give slackware.osuosl.org a try. This is another primary FTP site
for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading
directly from ftp.slackware.com.
Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab
(http://osuosl.org) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting
to the Slackware project! :-)
Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://slackware.com for
additional mirror sites near you.
