Title:	Slackware: Security Advisory (SSA:2024-105-01)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'less' package(s) announced via the SSA:2024-105-01 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'less' package(s) announced via the SSA:2024-105-01 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: New less 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/less-653-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded. This update patches a security issue: less through 653 allows OS command execution via a newline character in the name of a file, because quoting is mishandled in filename.c. Exploitation typically requires use with attacker-controlled file names, such as the files extracted from an untrusted archive. Exploitation also requires the LESSOPEN environment variable, but this is set by default in many common cases. For more information, see: [link moved to references] (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Affected Software/OS: 'less' 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
