[slackware-security]  gnutls (SSA:2013-242-01)

New gnutls packages are available for Slackware 14.0, and -current to fix a
security issue.


Here are the details from the Slackware 14.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/gnutls-3.0.26-i486-1_slack14.0.txz:  Upgraded.
  This update prevents a side-channel attack which may allow remote attackers
  to conduct distinguishing attacks and plaintext recovery attacks using
  statistical analysis of timing data for crafted packets.
  For more information, see:
