New curl packages are available for Slackware 9.1, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, and -current, and new wget packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, and -current. These address a buffer overflow in NTLM handling which may present a security problem, though no public exploits are known at this time.
