The remote host is missing an update as announced via advisory SSA:2007-243-01.
Insight
Insight
Sun has released security advisories pertaining to both the Java Runtime Environment and the Standard Edition Development Kit. One such advisory is linked in the references. Updated versions of both the jre and jdk packages are provided which address all known flaws in Java(TM) at this time. Slackware repackages Sun's Java(TM) binaries without changing them, so the packages from Slackware 12.0 should work on all glibc based Slackware versions.
Solution
Solution
Upgrade to the new package(s).
