[slackware-security] brotli (SSA:2026-296-01)

New brotli 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/brotli-1.2.1-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes a security issue:
A buffer overflow vulnerability in the Brotli decoder (c/dec/decode.c) in
Google Brotli versions 1.0.3 through 1.2.0 on all platforms allows a remote
unauthenticated attacker to corrupt adjacent decoder state memory, disclose
sensitive memory contents, cause a denial of service, or potentially execute
arbitrary code using a crafted Brotli-compressed stream.
For more information, see:
https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-111497
(* Security fix *)
