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-2024:1181-1 advisory.

 This update for the Linux Kernel 5.14.21-150500_11 fixes several issues.

 The following security issues were fixed:

 - CVE-2024-0565: Fixed an out-of-bounds memory read flaw in receive_encrypted_standard in fs/smb/client/smb2ops.c (bsc#1219078).
 - CVE-2023-42753: Fixed an array indexing vulnerability in the netfilter subsystem. This issue may have allowed a local user to crash the system or potentially escalate their privileges (bsc#1218613).
 - CVE-2024-1085: Fixed nf_tables use-after-free vulnerability in the nft_setelem_catchall_deactivate() function (bsc#1219432).
 - CVE-2023-52340: Fixed ICMPv6 Packet Too Big packets force a DoS of the Linux kernel by forcing 100% CPU (bsc#1219296).

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 kernel-livepatch-5_14_21-150500_11-rt package.
