Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE- SU-2022:1128-1 advisory.

libsolv to 0.6.39:

- fix memory leaks in SWIG generated code
- fix misparsing of '&' in attributes with libxml2
- try to keep packages from a cycle close togther in the transaction order (bsc#1189622)
- fix split provides not working if the update includes a forbidden vendor change (bsc#1195485)
- fix segfault on conflict resolution when using bindings
- do not replace noarch problem rules with arch dependent ones in problem reporting
- fix and simplify pool_vendor2mask implementation

libzypp to 16.22.4:

- Hint on ptf resolver conflicts (bsc#1194848)
- Fix package signature check (bsc#1184501) Pay attention that header and payload are secured by a valid signature and report more detailed which signature is missing.
- Set ZYPP_RPM_DEBUG=1 to capture verbose rpm command output.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
