Synopsis

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

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:2584-1 advisory.

Update to 1.7.2:

Security fixes:

- CVE-2024-24577: Fixed arbitrary code execution due to heap corruption in git_index_add (bsc#1219660)
- CVE-2024-24575: Fixed potential infinite loop condition in git_revparse_single() (bsc#1219664)

Other fixes:
- A bug in the smart transport negotiation could have caused an out-of-bounds read when a remote server did not advertise capabilities.

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 libgit2-1_7, libgit2-devel and / or libgit2-tools packages.
