The remote host is missing an update for the 'OpenSSH' package(s) announced via the SSA:2003-259-01 advisory. Upgraded OpenSSH packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0 and -current. These fix a buffer management error found in versions of OpenSSH earlier than 3.7 which could allow a remote exploit
