+--------------------------+
patches/packages/mariadb-10.0.27-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes a critical vulnerability which can allow local and
remote attackers to inject malicious settings into MySQL configuration
files (my.cnf). A successful exploitation could allow attackers to
execute arbitrary code with root privileges which would then allow them
to fully compromise the server.
This issue was discovered and reported by Dawid Golunski.
