The remote host is missing an update for the 'dnsmasq' package(s) announced via the SSA:2005-201-01 advisory. New dnsmasq packages are available for Slackware 10.0, 10.1, and -current to fix security issues. An off-by-one overflow vulnerability may allow a DHCP client to create a denial of service condition. Additional code was also added to detect and defeat attempts to poison the DNS cache
