[slackware-security] gd

New gd packages are available for Slackware 14.2 and -current to
fix security issues.

Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog:

This update fixes two security issues:
Double-free in gdImagePngPtr() (denial of service).
Buffer over-read into uninitialized memory (information leak).
