high Nessus Plugin ID 143832

Language:

Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

This update for sane-backends fixes the following issues :

sane-backends version upgrade to 1.0.31 :

- sane-backends version upgrade to 1.0.30 fixes memory corruption bugs CVE-2020-12861, CVE-2020-12862, CVE-2020-12863, CVE-2020-12864, CVE-2020-12865, CVE-2020-12866, CVE-2020-12867 (bsc#1172524)

- sane-backends version upgrade to 1.0.31 to further improve hardware enablement for scanner devices (jsc#SLE-15561 and jsc#SLE-15560 with jsc#ECO-2418)

- The new escl backend cannot be provided for SLE12 because it requires more additional software (avahi-client, libcurl, and libpoppler-glib-devel) where in particular for libcurl the one that is in SLE12 (via libcurl-devel-7.37.0) is likely too old because with that building the escl backend fails with 'escl/escl.c:1267:34: error: 'CURLOPT_UNIX_SOCKET_PATH' undeclared curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURLOPT_UNIX_SOCKET_PATH'

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
