Synopsis

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2025:03173-1 advisory.

- CVE-2025-9086: bug in path comparison logic when processing cookies can lead to out-of-bounds read in heap buffer (bsc#1249191).
- CVE-2025-10148: predictable websocket mask can lead to proxy cache poisoning by malicious server (bsc#1249348).
