  - NVIDIA Container Toolkit for all platforms contains a vulnerability in the update-ldcache hook, where an
    attacker could cause a link following by using a specially crafted container image. A successful exploit
    of this vulnerability might lead to data tampering and denial of service. (CVE-2025-23267)

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2025:4187-1 advisory.

    - Update to version 1.18.0:
      - This is a major release and includes the following high-level changes:
        - The default mode of the NVIDIA Container Runtime has been updated to make use           of a just-in-time-generated CDI specification instead of defaulting to the legacy mode.
        - Added a systemd unit to generate CDI specifications for available devices automatically. This allows           native CDI support in container engines such as Docker and Podman to be used without additional     steps.

    - Security issues fixed:
      - CVE-2024-0133: Fixed data tampering in host file system via specially         crafted container image (bsc#1231032)
      - CVE-2024-0132: Fixed time-of-check time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition         in default configuration via specifically crafted container image         (bsc#1231033)
      - CVE-2024-0134: Fixed specially-crafted container image can lead to         the creation of unauthorized files on the host (bsc#1232855)
      - CVE-2024-0135: Fixed Improper Isolation or Compartmentalization in         NVIDIA Container Toolkit (bsc#1236496)
      - CVE-2024-0136: Fixed Improper Isolation or Compartmentalization in         NVIDIA Container Toolkit (bsc#1236497)
      - CVE-2024-0137: Fixed Improper Isolation or Compartmentalization in         NVIDIA Container Toolkit (bsc#1236498)
      - CVE-2025-23359: Fixed TOCTOU Vulnerability in NVIDIA Container Toolkit         (bsc#1237085)
      - CVE-2025-23267: Fixed link following can lead to container escape         (bsc#1246614)
      - CVE-2025-23266: Fixed hook initialization might lead to escalation         of privileges (bsc#1246860)
