Here are the details from the Slackware 11.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
x/x11-6.9.0-i486-12_slack11.0.tgz: Patched.
 This update fixes overflows in the dbe and render extensions. This could
 possibly be exploited to overwrite parts of memory, possibly allowing
 malicious code to execute, or (more likely) causing X to crash.
 For information about some of the security fixes, see:
