[slackware-security] gzip

New gzip packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, 15.0,
and -current to fix a security issue.

Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:

patches/packages/gzip-1.12-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes a security issue:
zgrep applied to a crafted file name with two or more newlines can no
longer overwrite an arbitrary, attacker-selected file.
For more information, see:

(* Security fix *)
