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-2023:0124-1 advisory.

- CVE-2022-41859: Fixed an issue in EAP-PWD that could leak information about the password, which could facilitate dictionary attacks (bsc#1206204).
- CVE-2022-41860: Fixed a crash in servers with EAP_SIM manually configured, which could be triggered via a malformed SIM option (bsc#1206205).
