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
(https://osuosl.org/) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting
to the Slackware project!  :-)

Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://www.slackware.com/ for
