Calendar Grey February 2, 2023
Dist Slackware Esm H88
Updated SSH packages have been released for Slackware, addressing important security vulnerabilities and enhancing memory protection.
New openssh packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to fix security issues

Summary

Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog: patches/packages/openssh-9.2p1-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded. This release contains fixes for two security problems and a memory safety problem. The memory safety problem is not believed to be exploitable, but upstream reports most network-reachable memory faults as security bugs. This update contains some potentially incompatible changes regarding the scp utility.
