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-2023:3753-1 advisory.

- Expand lang sub-package in spec file unconditionally to handle previous name change from WebKit2GTK-lang to WebKitGTK-lang. This change affected the automatic generated Requires tag on WebKit2GTK-%{_apiver}, then getting out of sync of what's being required and what's being provided. Now, any sub-package that was providing WebKit2GTK-%{_apiver} will provide WebKitGTK-%{_apiver} instead (bsc#1214835, bsc#1214640, bsc#1214093).

- Require libwaylandclient0 >= 1.20. 15.4 originally had 1.19.0, but webkitgtk uses a function added in 1.20.0, so we need to ensure that the wayland update is pulled in (bsc#1215072).

- Update to version 2.40.5 (bsc#1213905 bsc#1213379 bsc#1213581 bsc#1215230):
CVE-2023-38594, CVE-2023-38595, CVE-2023-38597, CVE-2023-38599, CVE-2023-38600, CVE-2023-38611, CVE-2023-40397, CVE-2023-37450, CVE-2023-28198, CVE-2023-32370

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.
