I got the notification email for the update to kernel 4.4.111 (to patch 
for Spectre and Meltdown) on the Slackware Security mailing list a 
couple of days ago.  Some errors got through in the email that are 
repeated on the Slackware Security Advisories website:

http://www.slackware.com/security/viewer.php?l=slackware-security&y=2018&m=slackware-security.1191628

For example:

ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware64-14.2/patches/packages/patches/packages/linux-4.4.111/kernel-firmware-20180104_65b1c68-noarch-1.txz

should be:

ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware64-14.2/patches/packages/linux-4.4.111/kernel-firmware-20180104_65b1c68-noarch-1.txz

The error is repeated in all patches for Slackware 14.2 and Slackware 
x86_64 14.2.  Easy enough to correct when downloading but it will likely 
confuse some users.

I didn't know where to report this so I thought I'd send to this list 
and hope that whoever maintains the Security Advisories website will see it.
