Synopsis

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

Description

The remote openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:2760-1 advisory.

- update to 1.8.0
- Implements dnsdist in SLE15 (jsc#PED-3402)
- Security fix: fixes a possible record smugging with a crafted DNS query with trailing data (CVE-2018-14663, bsc#1114511)

- update to 1.2.0 (bsc#1054799, bsc#1054802) This release also addresses two security issues of low severity, CVE-2016-7069 and CVE-2017-7557. The first issue can lead to a denial of service on 32-bit if a backend sends crafted answers, and the second to an alteration of dnsdists ACL if the API is enabled, writable and an authenticated user is tricked into visiting a crafted website.

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.
