Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.13.2023.290.01
Category:	Slackware Local Security Checks
Title:	Slackware: Security Advisory (SSA:2023-290-01)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'util-linux' package(s) announced via the SSA:2023-290-01 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'util-linux' package(s) announced via the SSA:2023-290-01 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-i586-2_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt. Copy /etc/pam.d/login to /etc/pam.d/remote. This is needed for /bin/login's '-h' option, used (for example) by telnetd. If -h is used without /etc/pam.d/remote, pam will not be configured properly, and /etc/securetty will be ignored, possibly allowing root to login from a tty that is not considered secure. Of course, the usual disclaimers about the security of telnet/telnetd apply. Thanks to HytronBG and Petri Kaukasoina. (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Affected Software/OS: 'util-linux' 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
