Synopsis

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

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLED12 / SLED_SAP12 / SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:3265-1 advisory.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP5 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed:

- CVE-2022-36879: Fixed an issue in xfrm_expand_policies in net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c where a refcount could be dropped twice (bnc#1201948).
- CVE-2022-3028: Fixed race condition that was found in the IP framework for transforming packets (XFRM subsystem) (bnc#1202898).
- CVE-2022-2977: Fixed reference counting for struct tpm_chip (bsc#1202672).
- CVE-2022-29581: Fixed improper update of reference count vulnerability in net/sched that allowed a local attacker to cause privilege escalation to root (bnc#1199665).
- CVE-2022-2639: Fixed an integer coercion error that was found in the openvswitch kernel module (bnc#1202154).
- CVE-2022-26373: Fixed non-transparent sharing of return predictor targets between contexts in some Intel Processors (bnc#1201726).
- CVE-2022-2588: Fixed use-after-free in cls_route (bsc#1202096).
- CVE-2022-21385: Fixed a flaw in net_rds_alloc_sgs() that allowed unprivileged local users to crash the machine (bnc#1202897).
- CVE-2022-20369: Fixed possible out of bounds write due to improper input validation in v4l2_m2m_querybuf of v4l2-mem2mem.c (bnc#1202347).
- CVE-2022-20368: Fixed slab-out-of-bounds access in packet_recvmsg() (bsc#1202346).
- CVE-2021-4203: Fixed use-after-free read flaw that was found in sock_getsockopt() in net/core/sock.c due to SO_PEERCRED and SO_PEERGROUPS race with listen() (bnc#1194535).
- CVE-2020-36516: Fixed an issue in the mixed IPID assignment method where an attacker was able to inject data into or terminate a victim's TCP session (bnc#1196616).

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.
