Slackware Linux 15.0 / current aaa_glibc-solibs Multiple Vulnerabilities (SSA:2024-205-02)

high Nessus Plugin ID 203668

Synopsis

The remote Slackware Linux host is missing a security update to aaa_glibc-solibs.

Description

The version of aaa_glibc-solibs installed on the remote host is prior to 2.33 / 2.40. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SSA:2024-205-02 advisory.

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

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the aaa_glibc-solibs 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 aaa_glibc-solibs package.
