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-2022:3693-1 advisory.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 15-SP1 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed:

- CVE-2022-20008: Fixed local information disclosure due to possibility to read kernel heap memory via mmc_blk_read_single of block.c (bnc#1199564).
- CVE-2022-2503: Fixed a vulnerability that allowed root to bypass LoadPin and load untrusted and unverified kernel modules and firmware (bnc#1202677).
- CVE-2022-32296: Fixed vulnerability where TCP servers were allowed to identify clients by observing what source ports are used (bnc#1200288).
- 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-2022-3303: 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-2022-41848: Fixed a race condition in drivers/char/pcmcia/synclink_cs.c mgslpc_ioctl and mgslpc_detach (bnc#1203987).

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.
