[slackware-security] new mod_ssl packages (SSA:2004-207-02)

New mod_ssl packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0, 9.1,
10.0 and -current to fix a security issue. A format string
vulnerability in mod_proxy hook functions could allow an attacker
to run code as the mod_ssl user. Sites using mod_ssl should upgrade
(be sure to back up your existing key files first).

Here are the details from the Slackware 10.0 ChangeLog:

Sun Jul 25 14:17:29 PDT 2004
patches/packages/mod_ssl-2.8.19_1.3.31-i486-1.tgz:
Upgraded to mod_ssl-2.8.19-1.3.31.
This fixes a security hole (ssl_log() related format string
vulnerability in mod_proxy hook functions), so sites using mod_ssl
should upgrade to the new version. Be sure to back up your existing
key files first.
