[slackware-security]  vim (SSA:2022-237-01)

New vim 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/vim-9.0.0270-i586-1_slack15.0.txz:  Upgraded.
  We're just going to move to vim-9 instead of continuing to backport patches
  to the vim-8 branch. Most users will be better served by this.
  Fixed use after free and null pointer dereference.
  Thanks to marav for the heads-up.
