Recently released OpenSSL updates for Slackware tackle severe security issues, including potential denial-of-service attacks and risks associated with man-in-the-middle threats.
New openssl packages are available for Slackware 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, 14.0, 14.1, and -current to fix security issues

Summary

Here are the details from the Slackware 14.1 ChangeLog: patches/packages/openssl-1.0.1h-i486-1_slack14.1.txz: Upgraded. Multiple security issues have been corrected, including a possible man-in-the-middle attack where weak keying material is forced, denial of service, and the execution of arbitrary code.
