New x11 packages are available for Slackware 10.2 and 11.0.
More details about this issue may be found in the Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database:
https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2006-6101
https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2006-6102
https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2006-6103
Here are the details from the Slackware 11.0 ChangeLog:
x/x11-6.9.0-i486-12_slack11.0.tgz: Patched.
This update fixes overflows in the dbe and render extensions. This could
possibly be exploited to overwrite parts of memory, possibly allowing
malicious code to execute, or (more likely) causing X to crash.
For information about some of the security fixes, see:

Where to find the new packages:
HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com?
Give slackware.osuosl.org a try. This is another primary FTP site
for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading
from ftp.slackware.com.
Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab
(http://osuosl.org) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting
to the Slackware project! :-)
Also see the “Get Slack” section on http://slackware.com for
additional mirror sites near you.
