Another day, another dollar. Or, err, another kernel update. The Linux kernel in Slackware current now stands at 4.14.73 as of Saturday 29th September. Lots of other miscellaneous security flaw and bug fixes as always, among them for the Apache web server httpd daemon. Better upgrade this one if you got a server running. Enjoy.

This update fixes security issues:
There was a long-existing flaw in the documentation for ms-self, krb5-self,
ms-subdomain, and krb5-subdomain rules in update-policy statements. Though
the policies worked as intended, operators who configured their servers
according to the misleading documentation may have thought zone updates were
more restricted than they were; users of these rule types are advised to
review the documentation and correct their configurations if necessary. New
rule types matching the previously documented behavior will be introduced in
a future maintenance release.
named could crash during recursive processing of DNAME records when
deny-answer-aliases was in use. This flaw is disclosed in CVE-2018-5740.
For more information, see:
https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2018-5740
(* Security fix *)
n/httpd-2.4.35-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
This release fixes bugs and regressions in httpd-2.4.34, adds an
apache2ctl -> apachectl symlink, and no longer automatically
overwrites rc.httpd when upgraded.
Slackware in the main, but also other bits and bobs on Linux, BSD, and all sorts of things of interest.
