a/aaa_glibc-solibs-2.33-x86_64-3.txz: Rebuilt.
a/usbutils-014-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
ap/mariadb-10.6.4-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
ap/nvme-cli-1.15-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
l/glibc-2.33-x86_64-3.txz: Rebuilt.
Since glibc-2.34 makes a potentially risky change of moving all functions
into the main library, and another inconvenient (for us) change of renaming
the library files, we'll stick with glibc-2.33 for Slackware 15.0 and test
the newer glibc in the next release cycle. But we'll backport the security
fixes from glibc-2.34 with this update:
The nameserver caching daemon (nscd), when processing a request for netgroup
lookup, may crash due to a double-free, potentially resulting in degraded
service or Denial of Service on the local system. Reported by Chris Schanzle.
The mq_notify function has a potential use-after-free issue when using a
notification type of SIGEV_THREAD and a thread attribute with a non-default
affinity mask.
The wordexp function may overflow the positional parameter number when
processing the expansion resulting in a crash. Reported by Philippe Antoine.

l/glibc-i18n-2.33-x86_64-3.txz: Rebuilt.
l/glibc-profile-2.33-x86_64-3.txz: Rebuilt.
l/liburing-2.0-x86_64-1.txz: Added.
This is needed by mariadb, and provides increased performance on high speed
devices such as NVMe.
