Synopsis

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

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:1694-1 advisory.

This update for the Linux Kernel 4.12.14-122_201 fixes several issues.

The following security issues were fixed:

- CVE-2022-48651: Fixed an out-of-bound bug in ipvlan caused by unset skb->mac_header (bsc#1223514).
- CVE-2023-6546: Fixed a race condition that could lead to a use-after-free in the GSM 0710 tty multiplexor (bsc#1222685).
