Slackware Linux 15.0 kernel-generic Multiple Vulnerabilities (SSA:2022-333-01)

high Nessus Plugin ID 168270

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Slackware Linux host is missing a security update to kernel-generic.

Description

The version of kernel-generic installed on the remote host is prior to 5.15.80 / 5.15.80_smp. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SSA:2022-333-01 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.

Solution

Upgrade the affected kernel-generic package.
