Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'util-linux' package(s) announced via the SSA:2022-046-02 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: New util-linux 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/util-linux-2.37.4-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded. This release fixes a security issue in chsh(1) and chfn(8): By default, these utilities had been linked with libreadline, which allows the INPUTRC environment variable to be abused to produce an error message containing data from an arbitrary file. So, don't link these utilities with libreadline as it does not use secure_getenv() (or a similar concept), or sanitize the config file path to avoid vulnerabilities that could occur in set-user-ID or set-group-ID programs. For more information, see: [link moved to references] (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Affected Software/OS: 'util-linux' package(s) on Slackware 15.0, Slackware current. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 1.9 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
