Hi,

Slackware is a very 'hands on' distro so most updates are done from source, 
for information on some recent vulnerabilities (and how to fix them) take a 
look at the slackware-security mailing list:

http://www.slackware.com/lists/archive/list.php?l=slackware-security&y=2004


I would also recommend keeping an eye on BuqTraq :o)

If you have any major problems let me know.

Regards,

Simon
