Synopsis

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

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2021:1785-2 advisory.

- Upgrade to version 13.3:
- CVE-2021-32027: Fixed integer overflows in array subscripting calculations (bsc#1185924).
- CVE-2021-32028: Fixed mishandling of junk columns in INSERT ... ON CONFLICT ... UPDATE target lists (bsc#1185925).
- CVE-2021-32029: Fixed possibly-incorrect computation of UPDATE ... RETURNING outputs for joined cross- partition updates (bsc#1185926).

- Don't use %_stop_on_removal, because it was meant to be private and got removed from openSUSE.
%_restart_on_update is also private, but still supported and needed for now (bsc#1183168).
- Re-enable build of the llvmjit subpackage on SLE, but it will only be delivered on PackageHub for now (bsc#1183118).
- Disable icu for PostgreSQL 10 (and older) on TW (bsc#1179945).

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

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

Solution

Update the affected postgresql13-test package.
