From the official announcement:
Of particular note is that 1.3.35 addresses and fixes 1 potential
security issue: CVE-2005-3352 (cve.mitre.org)
mod_imap: Escape untrusted referer header before outputting in HTML
to avoid potential cross-site scripting. Change also made to

(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/mod_ssl-2.8.26_1.3.35-i486-1_slack10.2.tgz:
Upgraded to mod_ssl-2.8.26-1.3.35.
This is an updated version designed for Apache 1.3.35.
patches/packages/mysql-4.1.19-i486-1.tgz:
Upgraded to mysql-4.1.19.
This fixes some minor security issues with possible information leakage.
Note that the information leakage bugs require that the attacker have
access to an account on the database. Also note that by default,
Slackware's rc.mysqld script does *not* allow access to the database
through the outside network (it uses the –skip-networking option).
If you've enabled network access to MySQL, it is a good idea to filter
the port (3306) to prevent access from unauthorized machines.
