The remote host is missing an update for the 'openssl' package(s) on Slackware 11.0, 12.0, 12.1, and -current to fix security issues. New OpenSSL packages are available to address security bugs. Upgraded OpenSSH packages are also provided to prevent any issues with the update

Upgraded OpenSSH packages have been provided to make sure that ssh is not
broken my the update -- especially if your machine is a remote one, be SURE
to upgrade to the new openssh package as well!


Here are the details from the Slackware 12.1 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/openssl-0.9.8h-i486-1_slack12.1.tgz:
 Upgraded to OpenSSL 0.9.8h.
 The Codenomicon TLS test suite uncovered security bugs in OpenSSL.
 If OpenSSL was compiled using non-default options (Slackware's package
 is not), then a malicious packet could cause a crash. Also, a malformed
 TLS handshake could also lead to a crash.
 For more information, see:
 [links moved to references]
 When upgrading OpenSSL, it is VERY IMPORTANT to also upgrade OpenSSH, or
 it is possible to be unable to log back into sshd!
 (* Security fix *)
