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-2023:0409-1 advisory.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP3 LTSS kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed:

- CVE-2022-3606: Fixed a null pointer dereference inside the function find_prog_by_sec_insn of the file tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.c of the component BPF (bnc#1204502).
- CVE-2023-0179: Fixed incorrect arithmetics when fetching VLAN header bits (bsc#1207034).

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.
