Synopsis

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

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:0068-1 advisory.

- CVE-2022-44793: Fixed a NULL pointer dereference issue that could allow a remote attacker with write access to crash the server instance (bsc#1205148).
- CVE-2022-44792: Fixed a NULL pointer dereference issue that could allow a remote attacker with write access to crash the server instance (bsc#1205150).

Other fixes:

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
