[slackware-security] expat

New expat 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/expat-2.5.0-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes a security issue:
Fix heap use-after-free after overeager destruction of a shared DTD in
function XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate in out-of-memory situations.
Expected impact is denial of service or potentially arbitrary code
execution.
