Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:0245-1 advisory.

This update for the Linux Kernel 4.12.14-150_78 fixes several issues.

The following security issues were fixed:

- CVE-2018-25020: Fixed an issue in the BPF subsystem in the Linux kernel mishandled situations with a long jump over an instruction sequence where inner instructions require substantial expansions into multiple BPF instructions, leading to an overflow. (bsc#1193575)

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.
