Synopsis

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

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:0075-1 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:
- Enabled AES-192 and AES-256 privacy protocols (bsc#1206828).
