The remote host is missing an update for the 'X' package(s) announced via the SSA:2005-269-02 advisory. New X.Org server packages are available for Slackware 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, and -current to fix a security issue. An integer overflow in the pixmap handling code may allow the execution of arbitrary code through a specially crafted pixmap. Slackware 10.2 was patched against this vulnerability before its release, but new server packages are being issued for Slackware 10.2 and -current using an improved patch, as there were some bug reports using certain programs. Please install the updated package(s)

Here are the details from the Slackware 10.2 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/x11-6.8.2-i486-4.tgz: Rebuilt with a modified patch for
 an earlier pixmap overflow issue. The patch released by X.Org was
 slightly different than the one that was circulated previously, and is
 an improved version. There have been reports that the earlier patch
 broke WINE and possibly some other programs.
 For more information, see:
