[slackware-security] xz

New xz 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/xz-5.2.5-i586-4_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt.
This update fixes a security issue:
xzgrep applied to a crafted file name with two or more newlines can no
longer overwrite an arbitrary, attacker-selected file.
