Language:

Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:3097-1 advisory.

 This update for pipewire fixes the following security issues:

 - Fixed issue where an app which only has permission to access one stream can also access other streams (bsc#1213682).

 Bugfixes:
 - Fixed division by 0 and other issues with invalid values (glfo#pipewire/pipewire#2953)
 - Fixed an overflow resulting in choppy sound in some cases (glfo#pipewire/pipewire#2680)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected pipewire-libpulse-0_3 package.
