Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'kernel' package(s) announced via the SSA:2017-258-02 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: New kernel packages are available for Slackware 14.1, 14.2, and -current to fix a security issue. Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/linux-4.4.88/*: Upgraded. This update fixes the security vulnerability known as 'BlueBorne'. The native Bluetooth stack in the Linux Kernel (BlueZ), starting at Linux kernel version 3.3-rc1 is vulnerable to a stack overflow in the processing of L2CAP configuration responses resulting in remote code execution in kernel space. Be sure to upgrade your initrd after upgrading the kernel packages. If you use lilo to boot your machine, be sure lilo.conf points to the correct kernel and initrd and run lilo as root to update the bootloader. If you use elilo to boot your machine, you should run eliloconfig to copy the kernel and initrd to the EFI System Partition.
