A transient execution vulnerability in some AMD processors may allow an attacker to infer data from previous stores, potentially resulting in the leakage of privileged information.

The version of kernel-generic installed on the remote host is prior to 20250708_99d64b4 / 5.15.187 / 5.15.187_smp. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SSA:2025-192-01 advisory.

    New kernel packages are available for Slackware 15.0 to fix security issues.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the kernel-generic security advisory.

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

The remote Oracle Linux 7 / 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2025-20406 advisory.
