Synopsis

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

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:0441-1 advisory.

glibc was updated to fix the following issues:

Security issues fixed:

- CVE-2021-3999: Fixed incorrect errno in getcwd (bsc#1194640)
- CVE-2022-23219: Fixed buffer overflow in sunrpc clnt_create for 'unix' (bsc#1194768)
- CVE-2022-23218: Fixed buffer overflow in sunrpc svcunix_create (bsc#1194770)

Bugs fixed:

- Make endian-conversion macros always return correct types (bsc#1193478, BZ #16458)
- Allow dlopen of filter object to work (bsc#1192620, BZ #16272)
- x86: fix stack alignment in cancelable syscall stub (bsc#1191835)

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.
