high Nessus Plugin ID 157302

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:0270-1 advisory.

 This update for the Linux Kernel 5.3.18-59_24 fixes several issues.

 The following security issues were fixed:

 - CVE-2022-0185: Incorrect param length parsing in legacy_parse_param which could have led to a local privilege escalation (bsc#1194517).
 - CVE-2021-4028: Fixed use-after-free in RDMA listen() that could lead to DoS or privilege escalation by a local attacker (bsc#1193167).
 - CVE-2021-42739: The firewire subsystem had a buffer overflow related to drivers/media/firewire/firedtv- avc.c and drivers/media/firewire/firedtv-ci.c, because avc_ca_pmt mishandled bounds checking (bsc#1184673).

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 kernel-livepatch-5_3_18-59_24-default and / or kernel-livepatch-5_3_18-59_27-default packages.
