"The version of libsodium installed on the remote host is prior to 1.0.18 / 1.0.21. It is, therefore, affected by a
vulnerability as referenced in the SSA:2026-006-01 advisory.

    New libsodium packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to fix a security issue.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the libsodium security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
