Security Update: kernel, php

It seems that the release of Slackware 14.2 will have to wait again since Pat just bumped the kernel to 4.4.14 to fix 2 security vulnerabilities which he mentioned in detail in the latest batch of updates:

This kernel release fixes two security issues:
  Corrupted offset allows for arbitrary decrements in compat
  IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE setsockopt.  Risk:  High.  Impact:  Kernel memory
  corruption, leading to elevation of privileges or kernel code execution.
  This occurs in a compat_setsockopt() call that is normally restricted to
  root, however, Linux 3/4 kernels that support user and network namespaces
  can allow an unprivileged user to trigger this functionality.  This is
  exploitable from inside a container.
  Out of bounds reads when processing IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE setsockopt.
  Risk:  Medium.  Impact:  Out of bounds heap memory access, leading to a
  Denial of Service (or possibly heap disclosure or further impact).
  This occurs in a setsockopt() call that is normally restricted to root,
  however, Linux 3/4 kernels that support user and network namespaces can
  allow an unprivileged user to trigger this functionality.  This is
  exploitable from inside a container.

  (* Security fix *)

Other than kernel update which was only applied for current, php is also updated to 5.6.23 for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, and current. This update is also considered a security update.

In current, we have more updates coming in:

• mariadb: Upgraded to 10.0.26
• libpng: Upgraded to 1.6.23
• librsvg: Upgraded to 2.40
