[slackware-security]  libvpx (SSA:2025-159-01)

New libvpx packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to
fix security issues.


Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/libvpx-1.12.0-i586-2_slack15.0.txz:  Rebuilt.
  This update fixes a security issue:
  Use after free in libvpx allows an attacker to potentially exploit
  heap corruption.
