Synopsis

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

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:2839-1 advisory.

Updated to version 3.4.7:
- CVE-2022-1227: Fixed an issue that could allow an attacker to publish a malicious image to a public registry and run arbitrary code in the victim's context via the 'podman top' command (bsc#1182428).
- CVE-2022-27191: Fixed a potential crash via SSH under specific configurations (bsc#1197284).
- CVE-2022-21698: Fixed a potential denial of service that affected servers that used Prometheus instrumentation (bsc#1196338).

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 podman and / or podman-cni-config packages.
