Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'boost' package(s) announced via the SSA:2024-270-01 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: New boost packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to fix security issues. Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/boost-1.78.0-i586-3_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt. Get rid of hardcoded temporary paths in the cmake files. Since these paths point to a location that an unprivileged user could create and populate with files that could be picked up during a build, it's possible this bug could be used for malicious purposes.

CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
