Here are the details from the Slackware 10.2 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/openssl-0.9.7g-i486-2.tgz: Patched.
 Fixed a vulnerability that could, in rare circumstances, allow an attacker
 acting as a 'man in the middle' to force a client and a server to negotiate
 the SSL 2.0 protocol (which is known to be weak) even if these parties both
 support SSL 3.0 or TLS 1.0.
