The remote host is missing an update for the 'apr-util' package(s) announced via the SSA:2009-167-02 advisory. New apr-util (and apr) packages are available for Slackware 11.0, 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, and -current to fix security issues. The issues are with apr-util, but older Slackware releases will require a new version of the apr package as well. The update fixes underflow in apr_strmatch_precompile and a denial of service attack against the apr_xml_* interface
