New httpd packages are available for Slackware 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, 14.0, 14.1,
14.2, and -current to fix a security issue.


Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/httpd-2.4.27-i586-2_slack14.2.txz:  Rebuilt.
  This update patches a security issue ("Optionsbleed") with the OPTIONS http
  method which may leak arbitrary pieces of memory to a potential attacker.
  Thanks to Hanno Bo:ck.
