The remote host is missing an update for the 'amarok' package(s) to fix security issues. New Amarok and libgpod packages are available for Slackware 11.0, 12.0, 12.1, and -current. The Magnatune music library plugin made insecure use of the /tmp directory, allowing malicious local users to overwrite files through symlink attacks
