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-2022:2958-1 advisory.

- Upgrade to 12.12:
- CVE-2022-2625: Fixed an issue where extension scripts would replace objects not belonging to that extension (bsc#1202368).

- Upgrade to 12.11:
- CVE-2022-1552: Confined additional operations within 'security restricted operation' sandboxes (bsc#1199475).

- Upgrade to 12.10 (bsc#1195680)
- Add constraints file with 12GB of memory for s390x as a workaround (boo#1190740)

- Upgrade to version 12.9 (bsc#1192516):
- CVE-2021-23214: Made the server reject extraneous data after an SSL or GSS encryption handshake
- CVE-2021-23222: Made libpq reject extraneous data after an SSL or GSS encryption handshake

- Upgrade to version 12.8:
- CVE-2021-3677: Fixed memory disclosure in certain queries (bsc#1189748).

- Upgrade to version 12.7:
- CVE-2021-32027: Fixed integer overflows in array subscripting calculations (bsc#1185924).
- CVE-2021-32028: Fixed mishandling of junk columns in INSERT ... ON CONFLICT ... UPDATE target lists (bsc#1185925).
- CVE-2021-32029: Fixed possibly-incorrect computation of UPDATE ... RETURNING 'pg_psql_temporary_savepoint' does not exist (bsc#1185926).

- Fixed build with llvm12 on s390x (bsc#1185952).
- Re-enabled icu for PostgreSQL 10 (bsc#1179945).
- Made the dependency of postgresqlXX-server-devel on llvm and clang optional (bsc#1187751).
- llvm12 breaks PostgreSQL 11 and 12 on s390x. Use llvm11 as a workaround (bsc#1185952).
- Don't use %_stop_on_removal, because it was meant to be private and got removed from openSUSE.
%_restart_on_update is also private, but still supported and needed for now (bsc#1183168).

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.
