[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 *)
