Synopsis

The remote Slackware host is missing a security update.

Description

New php packages are available for Slackware 10.2 and 11.0 to fix security issues. These releases are the last to contain PHP 4.4.x, which was upgraded to version 4.4.9 to fix PCRE issues and other bugs.
Please note that this is the FINAL release of PHP4, and it has already passed the announced end-of-life. Sites should seriously consider migrating to PHP5 rather than upgrading to php-4.4.9.

Solution
