Synopsis

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

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:0705-1 advisory.

This update for the Linux Kernel 5.3.18-150300_59_138 fixes several issues.

The following security issues were fixed:

- CVE-2023-39198: Fixed a race condition leading to a use-after-free in qxl_mode_dumb_create() (bsc#1217116).
- CVE-2023-51780: Fixed a use-after-free in do_vcc_ioctl in net/atm/ioctl.c, because of a vcc_recvmsg race condition (bsc#1218733).

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.
