Category:	Slackware Local Security Checks
Title:	Slackware: Security Advisory (SSA:2024-095-02)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'nghttp2' package(s) announced via the SSA:2024-095-02 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'nghttp2' package(s) announced via the SSA:2024-095-02 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: New nghttp2 packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to fix a security issue. Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/nghttp2-1.61.0-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded. This update fixes security issues: nghttp2 library keeps reading the unbounded number of HTTP/2 CONTINUATION frames even after a stream is reset to keep HPACK context in sync. This causes excessive CPU usage to decode HPACK stream. nghttp2 v1.61.0 mitigates this vulnerability by limiting the number of CONTINUATION frames it can accept after a HEADERS frame. For more information, see: [links moved to references] (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Affected Software/OS: 'nghttp2' package(s) on Slackware 15.0, Slackware current. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
