[slackware-security] libinput (SSA:2026-155-02)

New libinput packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to
fix a security issue.


Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/libinput-1.31.3-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes a security issue:
libinput-device-group unescaped phys output can inject udev properties
leading to arbitrary root code execution.
Note that since /dev/uinput and /dev/uhid are only accessible by root on
Slackware (and unlike some other distributions we make no exceptions), we
were not vulnerable to this flaw.
(* Security fix *)
