[slackware-security]  aaa_base (SSA:2022-046-01)

New aaa_base 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/aaa_base-15.0-i586-4_slack15.0.txz:  Rebuilt.
  If root's mailbox did not already exist, it would be created with insecure
  permissions leading to possible local information disclosure. This update
  ensures that a new mailbox will be created with proper permissions and
  ownership, and corrects the permissions on an existing mailbox if they are
  found to be incorrect. Thanks to Martin for the bug report.
  (* Security fix *)
