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-2023:1715-1 advisory.

 - CVE-2023-28101: Fixed misleading terminal output with metadata with ANSI control codes (bsc#1209410).
 - CVE-2023-28100: Fixed unsandboxed TIOCLINUX commands (bsc#1209411).

 Update to version 1.12.8:

 - Update the SELinux module to explicitly permit the system helper have read access to /etc/passwd and systemd-userdbd, read and lock access to /var/lib/flatpak, and watch files inside $libexecdir
 - If an app update is blocked by parental controls policies, clean up the temporary deploy directory
 - Fix Autotools build with versions of gpgme that no longer provide gpgme-config(1)
 - Remove some unreachable code
 - Add missing handling for some D-Bus errors

 Update to version 1.12.7:

 - We now allow networked access to X11 and PulseAudio services if that is configured, and the application has network access.
 - Absolute paths in WAYLAND_DISPLAY now work
 - Allow apps that were built with Flatpak 1.13.x to export AppStream metadata in share/metainfo
 - Most commands now work if /var/lib/flatpak exists but

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.
