Insight
New mysql packages are available for Slackware 10.2 and -current to fix security issues. The MySQL package shipped with Slackware 10.2 may possibly leak sensitive information found in uninitialized memory to authenticated users. The MySQL package previously in Slackware -current also suffered from these flaws, but an additional overflow could allow arbitrary code execution. Since the vulnerabilities require a valid login and/or access to the database server, the risk is moderate. Slackware does not provide network access to a MySQL database by default. More details about the issues may be found in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database.
