New gnutls packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to
fix security issues.
Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:

This update fixes two medium severity security issues:

Reported by George Pantelakis (#1516).
libgnutls: Fixed a bug where certtool crashed when verifying a certificate
chain with more than 16 certificates. Reported by William Woodruff (#1525)
and yixiangzhike (#1527).
