[slackware-security] php

New php packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, and -current to
fix a security issue.

Here are the details from the Slackware 14.1 ChangeLog:

patches/packages/php-5.4.27-i486-1_slack14.1.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes a security issue in the in the awk script detector
which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service
(CPU consumption) via a crafted ASCII file that triggers a large amount
of backtracking.
