patches/packages/tcpdump-3.8.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to
tcpdump-3.8.3 and libpcap-0.8.3. This fixes a couple minor bugs
that shouldn’t affect 32-bit ix86 Slackware, but we might as well
have the latest.
According to www.tcpdump.org/:
TCPDUMP version 3.8.3 has been released as of March 30, 2004.
3.8.3 is identical to 3.8.2, but the version number has been
incremented to match libpcap.
LIBPCAP version 0.8.3 has been released as of March 30, 2004.
0.8.3 fixes a minor problem with gencode.c on 64-bit architectures.
It also carries the correct version numbers.

[slackware-security] cvs security update (SSA:2004-108-02)
CVS is a client/server version control system. As a server, it
is used to host source code repositories. As a client, it is used
to access such repositories. This advisory affects both uses of
CVS.
A security problem which could allow a server to create
arbitrary files on a client machine, and another security problem
which may allow a client to view files outside of the CVS
repository have been fixed with the release of cvs-1.11.15.
Any sites running CVS should upgrade to the new CVS package.
Here are the details from the Slackware 9.1 ChangeLog:
