The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:4162-1 advisory.

    This update ship the GCC 13.2 compiler suite and its base libraries.

    The compiler base libraries are provided for all SUSE Linux Enterprise 15     versions and replace the same named GCC 12 ones.

    The new compilers for C, C++, and Fortran are provided for SUSE Linux     Enterprise 15 SP4 and SP5, and provided in the 'Development Tools' module.

    The Go, D, Ada and Modula 2 language compiler parts are available     unsupported via the PackageHub repositories.

    To use gcc13 compilers use:

    - install 'gcc13' or 'gcc13-c++' or one of the other 'gcc13-COMPILER' frontend packages.
    - override your Makefile to use CC=gcc13, CXX=g++13 and similar overrides for the other languages.

    Detailed changes:


    * CVE-2023-4039: Fixed -fstack-protector issues on aarch64 with variable       length stack allocations.  (bsc#1214052)

    - Turn cross compiler to s390x to a glibc cross. [bsc#1214460]

    - Also handle -static-pie in the default-PIE specs
    - Fixed missed optimization in Skia resulting in Firefox crashes when       building with LTO.  [bsc#1212101]
    - Make libstdc++6-devel packages own their directories since they       can be installed standalone.  [bsc#1211427]
    - Add new x86-related intrinsics (amxcomplexintrin.h).
    - RISC-V: Add support for inlining subword atomic operations
    - Use --enable-link-serialization rather that --enable-link-mutex,       the benefit of the former one is that the linker jobs are not       holding tokens of the make's jobserver.
    - Add cross-bpf packages.  See https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/BPFBackEnd       for the general state of BPF with GCC.
    - Add bootstrap conditional to allow --without=bootstrap to be       specified to speed up local builds for testing.
    - Bump included newlib to version 4.3.0.
    - Also package libhwasan_preinit.o on aarch64.
    - Configure external timezone database provided by the timezone       package.  Make libstdc++6 recommend timezone to get a fully       working std::chrono.  Install timezone when running the testsuite.
    - Package libhwasan_preinit.o on x86_64.
    - Fixed unwinding on aarch64 with pointer signing.  [bsc#1206684]
    - Enable PRU flavour for gcc13
    - update floatn fixinclude pickup to check each header separately (bsc#1206480)
    - Redo floatn fixinclude pick-up to simply keep what is there.
    - Bump libgo SONAME to libgo22.
    - Do not package libhwasan for biarch (32-bit architecture)       as the extension depends on 64-bit pointers.
    - Adjust floatn fixincludes guard to work with SLE12 and earlier       SLE15.
    - Depend on at least LLVM 13 for GCN cross compiler.
    - Update embedded newlib to version 4.2.0
    - Allow cross-pru-gcc12-bootstrap for armv7l architecture.
      PRU architecture is used for real-time MCUs embedded into TI       armv7l and aarch64 SoCs. We need to have cross-pru-gcc12 for       armv7l in order to build both host applications and PRU firmware       during the same build.

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.
