The remote host is missing an update for the 'unzip' package(s) announced via the SSA:2003-237-01 advisory. Upgraded infozip packages are available for Slackware 9.0 and -current fixing a security issue where a specially crafted archive may overwrite files upon extraction by a user with sufficient permissions

Here are the details from the Slackware 9.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
Mon Aug 25 15:35:28 PDT 2003
patches/packages/infozip-5.50-i486-2.tgz: Fixed a bug where a specially
 crafted archive might try to write to ../ or ../../, etc, potentially
 overwriting system files if the user (such as root) has permissions to
 overwrite them. Thanks to jelmer for locating this problem, and
 Ben Laurie for providing a patch.
 (* Security fix *)
