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-2022:3688-1 advisory.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 kernel was updated.

The following security bugs were fixed:

- CVE-2022-3303: Fixed a race condition in the sound subsystem due to improper locking (bnc#1203769).
- CVE-2022-41218: Fixed an use-after-free caused by refcount races in drivers/media/dvb-core/dmxdev.c (bnc#1202960).
- CVE-2022-3239: Fixed an use-after-free in the video4linux driver that could lead a local user to able to crash the system or escalate their privileges (bnc#1203552).
- CVE-2022-41848: Fixed a race condition and resultant use-after-free if a physically proximate attacker removes a PCMCIA device while calling ioctl (bnc#1203987).
- CVE-2022-2503: Fixed a bug in dm-verity, device-mapper table reloads allowed users with root privileges to switch out the target with an equivalent dm-linear target and bypass verification till reboot. This allowed root to bypass LoadPin and can be used to load untrusted and unverified kernel modules and firmware, which implies arbitrary kernel execution and persistence for peripherals that do not verify firmware updates (bnc#1202677).

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.
