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-2022:2808-1 advisory.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP4 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed:

- CVE-2021-26341: Some AMD CPUs may transiently execute beyond unconditional direct branches, which may potentially result in data leakage (bsc#1201050).
- CVE-2021-33655: Fixed out of bounds write with ioctl FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO (bnc#1201635).
- CVE-2021-33656: Fixed out of bounds write with ioctl PIO_FONT (bnc#1201636).
- CVE-2022-1462: Fixed an out-of-bounds read flaw in the TeleTYpe subsystem (bnc#1198829).

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.
