critical Nessus Plugin ID 201854

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of netatalk installed on the remote host is prior to 3.2.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SSA:2024-185-01 advisory.

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

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the netatalk 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
