Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/linux-4.4.29/*: Upgraded.
 This kernel fixes a security issue known as 'Dirty COW'. A race condition
 was found in the way the Linux kernel's memory subsystem handled the
 copy-on-write (COW) breakage of private read-only memory mappings. An
 unprivileged local user could use this flaw to gain write access to
 otherwise read-only memory mappings and thus increase their privileges on
 the system.
 Be sure to upgrade your initrd after upgrading the kernel packages.
 If you use lilo to boot your machine, be sure lilo.conf points to the correct
 kernel and initrd and run lilo as root to update the bootloader.
 If you use elilo to boot your machine, you should run eliloconfig to copy the
 kernel and initrd to the EFI System Partition.

 (* Security fix *)
