"The version of libXfont2 installed on the remote host is prior to 2.0.9. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the SSA:2026-218-01 advisory.

    New libXfont2 packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to fix security issues.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the libXfont2 security advisory.

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