Hello:

QEMU
----
Willy tweeted me to qemu CVE-2015-3209, Heap overflow in QEMU PCNET
controller, allowing guest->host escape.  This is easy to mitigate:
don't use pcnet! ;-)

I'll send in an update this weekend.  But, reeaallyy, you should be
using virtio-net-pci ...

MUMBLE
------
mumble-1.2.9 maintenance release fixes various bugs, updates
dependencies, and adds new functionality.  The current slackbuild
*should* work OOTB on 14.1 updated to latest patches as of today, but
here may be an issue with the new TLS 1.2 functionality (see (1))

I'll test as soon as my build VMs are updated this weekend.
