Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/less-653-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
 This update patches a security issue:
 less through 653 allows OS command execution via a newline character in the
 name of a file, because quoting is mishandled in filename.c. Exploitation
 typically requires use with attacker-controlled file names, such as the files
 extracted from an untrusted archive. Exploitation also requires the LESSOPEN
 environment variable, but this is set by default in many common cases.
 For more information, see:

 (* Security fix *)
