Synopsis

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

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:0770-1 advisory.

Update to 550.54.14

* Added vGPU Host and vGPU Guest support. For vGPU Host, please refer to the README.vgpu packaged in the vGPU Host Package for more details.

Security issues fixed:

* CVE-2024-0074: A user could trigger a NULL ptr dereference.
* CVE-2024-0075: A user could overwrite the end of a buffer, leading to crashes or code execution.
* CVE-2022-42265: A unprivileged user could trigger an integer overflow which could lead to crashes or code execution.

- create /run/udev/static_node-tags/uaccess/nvidia${devid} symlinks also during modprobing the nvidia module; this changes the issue of not having access to /dev/nvidia${devid}, when gfxcard has been replaced by a different gfx card after installing the driver

- provide nvidia-open-driver-G06-kmp (jsc#PED-7117)
* this makes it easy to replace the package from nVidia's CUDA repository with this presigned package

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.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
