The version of kernel-generic installed on the remote host is prior to 5.15.160 / 5.15.160_smp. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SSA:2024-157-01 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.
