Synopsis

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

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLED12 / SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2021:3481-1 advisory.

- Fix for build with llvm12 on s390x. (bsc#1185952)
- Re-enable 'icu' for PostgreSQL 10. (bsc#1179945)
- Add postgresqlXX-server-devel as a dependency for postgresql13-server-devel. (bsc#1187751)
- Upgrade to version 10.18. (bsc#1190177)

Upgrade to version 10.17 (already released for SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP5):

- 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).
- Fixed an issue droping irregular warning messages by removing the package. (bsc#1178961)
- Fixed an issue when build does not build the requiements to avoid dangling symlinks in the devel package. (bsc#1179765)
- Fix recently-added timetz test case so it works when the USA is not observing daylight savings time.

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.
