Synopsis

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

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:3655-1 advisory.

Buildah was updated to version 1.27.1:

- CVE-2021-20206: Fixed an issue in libcni that could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary binaries on the host (bsc#1181961).
- CVE-2020-10696: Fixed an issue that could lead to files being overwritten during the image building process (bsc#1167864).
- CVE-2022-2990: Fixed a possible information disclosure and modification (bsc#1202812).

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 buildah package.
