Synopsis

The remote Slackware host is missing a security update.

Description

New imapd packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, and -current to fix (an alleged) security issue. See the details below for more information. Also, new Pine packages are provided since these are built together... why not? Might as well upgrade that too, while I'm fixing the fake security problem. :-)

Solution

Update the affected imapd and / or pine packages.
