Synopsis

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

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:0406-1 advisory.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP2 LTSS kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed:

- CVE-2023-23455: Fixed a denial of service inside atm_tc_enqueue in net/sched/sch_atm.c because of type confusion (non-negative numbers can sometimes indicate a TC_ACT_SHOT condition rather than valid classification results) (bsc#1207125).
- CVE-2023-23454: Fixed denial or service in cbq_classify in net/sched/sch_cbq.c (bnc#1207036).
- CVE-2023-0266: Fixed a use-after-free vulnerability inside the ALSA PCM package.
SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_ELEM_{READ|WRITE}32 was missing locks that could have been used in a use-after-free that could have resulted in a priviledge escalation to gain ring0 access from the system user (bsc#1207134).
- CVE-2022-47929: Fixed NULL pointer dereference bug in the traffic control subsystem (bnc#1207237).
- CVE-2022-47520: Fixed a out-of-bounds read when parsing a Robust Security Network (RSN) information element from a Netlink packet in the WILC1000 wireless driver (bsc#1206515).
- CVE-2022-4662: Fixed incorrect access control in the USB core subsystem that could lead a local user to crash the system (bnc#1206664).
- CVE-2022-42328, CVE-2022-42329: Fixed deadlock inside the netback driver that could have been triggered from a VM guest (bnc#1206114).
- CVE-2022-3643: Fixed reset/abort/crash via netback from VM guest (bnc#1206113).
- CVE-2022-3564: Fixed use-after-free in l2cap_core.c of the Bluetooth component (bnc#1206073).
- CVE-2022-3435: Fixed a out-of-bounds read in function fib_nh_match of the file net/ipv4/fib_semantics.c.
It is possible to initiate the attack remotely (bnc#1204171).
- CVE-2022-3115: Fixed a null pointer dereference inside malidp_crtc_reset in drivers/gpu/drm/arm/malidp_crtc.c that lacked a check of the return value of kzalloc() (bnc#1206393).
- CVE-2022-3112: Fixed a null pointer dereference in amvdec_set_canvases in drivers/staging/media/meson/vdec/vdec_helpers.c that lacked a check of the return value of kzalloc() (bnc#1206399).
- CVE-2022-3108: Fixed missing check of return value of kmemdup() (bnc#1206389).
- CVE-2022-3107: Fixed missing check of return value of kvmalloc_array() (bnc#1206395).
- CVE-2022-3105: Fixed missing check of kmalloc_array() in uapi_finalize in drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_uapi.c (bnc#1206398).

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.
