Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'ark' package(s) announced via the SSA:2025-051-01 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: New ark 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/ark-21.12.1-i586-2_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt. The ark archive tool in KDE was found to extract to absolute paths if they are present in the archive, which may be surprising to those who haven't examined an archive before extracting it. It has been patched to discard any leading '/' in paths to prevent this unlikely occurrence. Thanks to pbslxw for the heads-up.
