Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE- SU-2023:4581-1 advisory.

- CVE-2023-41914: Fixed a filesystem handling race condition that could have led to an attacker taking control of an arbitrary file, or removing entire directory contents (bsc#1216207).

Bug fixes:

- Add missing dependencies to slurm-config to plugins package. These should help to tie down the slurm version and help to avoid a package mix (bsc#1216869).
- Add missing Provides:, Conflicts: and Obsoletes: to slurm-cray, slurm-hdf5 and slurm-testsuite to avoid package conflicts (bsc#1208810).

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 packages.
