Also, gmt_unix_time (seconds since epoch) is no longer added to the random fields of {Client,Server}Hello because that can be used for host fingerprinting by an adversary.

Thanks for that. The LFS patch doesn't apply to 0.9.8y here so I made one from scratch. I also took the Gentoo patch you linked and reformatted it a bit. Both patches are here:

I've upgraded curl, php and samba to their latest versions. Just download the sources and compile using the SlackBuild-scripts from /source. Should we notify PatV?

Glad to hear my patches worked out for you.
I emailed Pat about a week and a half before starting this thread but I haven't sent a 2nd email with more recent news (e.g. openssl, libxfont). A new email might be worthwhile in case he's not visiting LQ. Feel free to send one.
I appreciate that you're keeping on top of the security issues.
Given how single-point-of-failure it is having Pat in control and these things often going unfixed for so long, it's really looking like I'm going to have to move on from slackware at last.
Bye, corvid! Remember to write if you find work and hang by your thumbs. [Bob & Ray Radio Program sign-off] I'll move on when Pat does. He's done fine with me for twenty years. I've tried the rest, but still use the best.
Thank you, mancha for staying on top of the SSL security patches. (Openssl-1.0.1e is the version on the mirrors.)

Okay. But, why announce that you're leaving?
I hope that you find a distro that is more to your liking.
If you look at the patches, few of them are actually security vulnerabilities, and none of them are critical. I'm sure Pat V. would have pushed updates if any of them were critical security vulnerabilities.
In other words, don't let this thread chase you away from Slackware.
