Synopsis

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

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:2661-1 advisory.

- squashfs filesystem implementation of U-Boot versions from v2020.10-rc2 to v2022.07-rc5 contains a heap- based buffer overflow vulnerability due to a defect in the metadata reading process. Loading a specially crafted squashfs image may lead to a denial-of-service (DoS) condition or arbitrary code execution.
(CVE-2022-33967)

- In Das U-Boot through 2022.07-rc5, an integer signedness error and resultant stack-based buffer overflow in the i2c md command enables the corruption of the return address pointer of the do_i2c_md function.
(CVE-2022-34835)

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 u-boot-rpiarm64, u-boot-rpiarm64-doc and / or u-boot-tools packages.
