Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/xz-5.8.4-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded. This update fixes a security issue: liblzma: lzma_alone_decoder(), lzma_lzip_decoder(), lzma_auto_decoder(), and lzma_microlzma_decoder(): Fix an invalid memory access after memory allocation has failed and the application reinitializes the existing decoder to decode a different file.
