Slackware Linux 15.0 / current php81 Multiple Vulnerabilities (SSA:2024-158-01)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 200177

Synopsis

The remote Slackware Linux host is missing a security update to php81.

Description

The version of php81 installed on the remote host is prior to 8.1.29 / 8.3.8. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SSA:2024-158-01 advisory.

New php packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to fix security issues.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the php81 security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the affected php81 package.
