Security Update: PHP, Mozilla-Thunderbird For Slackware 12.1

Paket update pertama untuk Slackware 12.1 telah keluar, yaitu paket PHP dan Mozilla-Thunderbird. Harap diperhatikan bahwa untuk beberapa versi Slackware sebelumnya, PHP 5 belum menjadi paket default, sehingga keputusan untuk melakukan upgrade ada di tangan Anda (bagi pengguna Slackware 10.2 dan 11.0)
New php packages are available for Slackware 10.2, 11.0, 12.0, 12.1, and -current to fix security issues.

Note that PHP5 is not the default PHP for Slackware 10.2 or 11.0 (those use
PHP4), so if your PHP code is not ready for PHP5, don't upgrade until it is
or you'll (by definition) run into problems.
More details about one of the issues may be found in the Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database:
