The remote host is missing an update for the 'apache' package(s) announced via the SSA:2004-299-01 advisory. New apache and mod_ssl packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, 10.0, and -current to fix security issues. A heap-based buffer overflow in mod_proxy is fixed. mod_ssl was upgraded to correct a flaw allowing a client to use a cipher which the server does not consider secure enough. A new PHP package (php-4.3.9) is also available for all of these platforms

Here are the details from the Slackware 10.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/apache-1.3.32-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to apache-1.3.32.
 This addresses a heap-based buffer overflow in mod_proxy by rejecting
 responses from a remote server with a negative Content-Length. The
 flaw could crash the Apache child process, or possibly allow code to
 be executed as the Apache user (but only if mod_proxy is actually in
 use on the server).
 For more details, see:
 [link moved to references]
 (* Security fix *)
patches/packages/mod_ssl-2.8.21_1.3.32-i486-1.tgz:
 Upgraded to mod_ssl-2.8.21-1.3.32.
 Don't allow clients to bypass cipher requirements, possibly negotiating
 a connection that the server does not consider secure enough.
 For more details, see:
 [link moved to references]
 (* Security fix *)
patches/packages/php-4.3.9-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to php-4.3.9.
