unzip vulnerability patched

Upgraded infozip packages are available for Slackware 9.0 and -current.
These fix a security issue where a specially crafted archive may
overwrite files (including system files anywhere on the filesystem)
upon extraction by a user with sufficient permissions.

patches/packages/infozip-5.50-i486-2.tgz: Fixed a bug where a specially
crafted archive might try to write to …/ or …/…/, etc, potentially

overwrite them. Thanks to jelmer for locating this problem, and
