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-2022:0928-1 advisory.

- CVE-2022-23943: heap out-of-bounds write in mod_sed (bsc#1197098).
- CVE-2022-22720: HTTP request smuggling due to incorrect error handling (bsc#1197095).
- CVE-2022-22719: use of uninitialized value of in r:parsebody in mod_lua (bsc#1197091).
- CVE-2022-22721: possible buffer overflow with very large or unlimited LimitXMLRequestBody (bsc#1197096).

Also TLS 1.3 support and openssl 1.1.1 usage was disabled again as it caused regressions in various usage scenarios due to the combination between openssl 1.0.2 and 1.1.1 linkage without correct symbol versions by other libraries / tools. (bsc#1197301 bsc#1197177 bsc#1196249)

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.
