Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:1157-1 advisory.

Security relevant fix:

- Harden package signature checks (bsc#1184501).

libsolv update to 0.7.22:

- reworked choice rule generation to cover more usecases
- support SOLVABLE_PREREQ_IGNOREINST in the ordering code (bsc#1196514)
- support parsing of Debian's Multi-Arch indicator
- fix segfault on conflict resolution when using bindings
- fix split provides not working if the update includes a forbidden vendor change
- support strict repository priorities new solver flag: SOLVER_FLAG_STRICT_REPO_PRIORITY
- support zstd compressed control files in debian packages
- add an ifdef allowing to rename Solvable dependency members ('requires' is a keyword in C++20)
- support setting/reading userdata in solv files new functions: repowriter_set_userdata, solv_read_userdata
- support queying of the custom vendor check function new function: pool_get_custom_vendorcheck
- support solv files with an idarray block
- allow accessing the toolversion at runtime

libzypp update to 17.30.0:

- ZConfig: Update solver settings if target changes (bsc#1196368)
- Fix possible hang in singletrans mode (bsc#1197134)
- Do 2 retries if mount is still busy.
- 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.
- Retry umount if device is busy (bsc#1196061, closes #381) A previously released ISO image may need a bit more time to release it's loop device. So we wait a bit and retry.
- Fix serializing/deserializing type mismatch in zypp-rpm protocol (bsc#1196925)
- Fix handling of ISO media in releaseAll (bsc#1196061)
- Hint on common ptf resolver conflicts (bsc#1194848)
- Hint on ptf<>patch resolver conflicts (bsc#1194848)

zypper update to 1.14.52:

- info: print the packages upstream URL if available (fixes #426)
- info: Fix SEGV with not installed PTFs (bsc#1196317)
- Don't prevent less restrictive umasks (bsc#1195999)
