Synopsis

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

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:1255-1 advisory.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed:

- CVE-2022-28356: Fixed a refcount leak bug in net/llc/af_llc.c (bnc#1197391).
- CVE-2022-1016: Fixed a vulnerability in the nf_tables component of the netfilter subsystem. This vulnerability gives an attacker a powerful primitive that can be used to both read from and write to relative stack data, which can lead to arbitrary code execution (bsc#1197227).
- CVE-2022-28389: Fixed a double free in drivers/net/can/usb/mcba_usb.c vulnerability in the Linux kernel (bnc#1198033).
- CVE-2022-28388: Fixed a double free in drivers/net/can/usb/usb_8dev.c vulnerability in the Linux kernel (bnc#1198032).
- CVE-2022-28390: Fixed a double free in drivers/net/can/usb/ems_usb.c vulnerability in the Linux kernel (bnc#1198031).
- CVE-2022-0812: Fixed an incorrect header size calculations in xprtrdma (bsc#1196639).
- CVE-2022-1048: Fixed a race Condition in snd_pcm_hw_free leading to use-after-free due to the AB/BA lock with buffer_mutex and mmap_lock (bsc#1197331).
- CVE-2022-0850: Fixed a kernel information leak vulnerability in iov_iter.c (bsc#1196761).
- CVE-2022-26966: Fixed an issue in drivers/net/usb/sr9700.c, which allowed attackers to obtain sensitive information from the memory via crafted frame lengths from a USB device (bsc#1196836).
- CVE-2022-0886: Fix possible buffer overflow in ESP transformation (bsc#1197131).
- CVE-2021-45868: Fixed a wrong validation check in fs/quota/quota_tree.c which could lead to an use- after-free if there is a corrupted quota file (bnc#1197366).
- CVE-2021-39713: Fixed a race condition in the network scheduling subsystem which could lead to a use- after-free (bsc#1196973).
- CVE-2022-23036,CVE-2022-23037,CVE-2022-23038,CVE-2022-23039,CVE-2022-23040,CVE-2022-23041,CVE-2022-23042:
Fixed multiple issues which could have lead to read/write access to memory pages or denial of service.
These issues are related to the Xen PV device frontend drivers (bsc#1196488).
- CVE-2022-26490: Fixed a buffer overflow in the st21nfca driver. An attacker with adjacent NFC access could crash the system or corrupt the system memory (bsc#1196830).

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.
