Synopsis

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

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:4351-1 advisory.

osc was updated to version 0.182.0 (bsc#1154972, bsc#1144211, bsc#1142662, bsc#1140697, bsc#1138165):

- Added MFA support (jsc#OBS-203).
- CVE-2019-3681: Fixed vulnerability where osc stored downloaded RPMs in network controlled paths (bsc#1122675).
- CVE-2019-3685: Fixed broken TLS certificate handling (bsc#1142518).

Bugfixes:
- Removed use of chardet to guess encoding. Utf-8 or latin-1 is now assumed, which will speed up decoding (bsc#1173926).
- Added helper method _html_escape to enable python3.8 and python2.* compatibility (bsc#1166537).
- Added MR creation to honor orev (bsc#1160446).
- Fixed local build outside of the working copy of a package (bsc#1136584).
- Don't enforce password reuse (bsc#1156501).
- osc vc --file=foo bar.changes now writes the content from foo into bar.changes instead of creating a new file (bsc#1155953).
- Fixed decoding on osc lbl (bsc#1137477).
- Simplified and fixed osc meta -e (bsc#1138977).
- osc lbl now works with non utf8 encoding (bsc#1129889).
- Added full python3 compatibility (bsc#1125243, bsc#1131512, bsc#1129757).
- Fixed slowdown of rbl with readline(bufsize) function (bsc#1127932).
- Fixed osc build -p dir TypeError (bsc#1126055).
- Fixed osc buildinfo -p TypeError (bsc#1126058).
- Added new options --unexpand and --meta to diff command (bsc#1089025).
- Fixed Requires to python-base which does not contain ssl.py (bsc#1097996).

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.
