Synopsis

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

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2021:2777-1 advisory.

- Upgrade to version 10.17:
- 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).

- 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).
- BuildRequire libpq5 and libecpg6 when not building them to avoid dangling symlinks in the devel package (bsc#1179765).

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 packages.
