I'm curious why some are announced and > others not. The Slackware Security mailing lists as says its name, mentions only updates provided as security fixes. Some patches are provided as bug fixes but not security fixes. I think that only the patches tagged (* Security fix *) in the ChangeLogs like ftp://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/slackware/slackware-14.2/ChangeLog.txt are mentioned in the Slackware Security mailing list.
