Synopsis

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

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2025:4187-1 advisory.

- Update to version 1.18.0:
- This is a major release and includes the following high-level changes:
- The default mode of the NVIDIA Container Runtime has been updated to make use of a just-in-time-generated CDI specification instead of defaulting to the legacy mode.
- Added a systemd unit to generate CDI specifications for available devices automatically. This allows native CDI support in container engines such as Docker and Podman to be used without additional steps.

- Security issues fixed:
- CVE-2024-0133: Fixed data tampering in host file system via specially crafted container image (bsc#1231032)
- CVE-2024-0132: Fixed time-of-check time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition in default configuration via specifically crafted container image (bsc#1231033)
- CVE-2024-0134: Fixed specially-crafted container image can lead to the creation of unauthorized files on the host (bsc#1232855)
- CVE-2024-0135: Fixed Improper Isolation or Compartmentalization in NVIDIA Container Toolkit (bsc#1236496)
- CVE-2024-0136: Fixed Improper Isolation or Compartmentalization in NVIDIA Container Toolkit (bsc#1236497)
- CVE-2024-0137: Fixed Improper Isolation or Compartmentalization in NVIDIA Container Toolkit (bsc#1236498)
- CVE-2025-23359: Fixed TOCTOU Vulnerability in NVIDIA Container Toolkit (bsc#1237085)
- CVE-2025-23267: Fixed link following can lead to container escape (bsc#1246614)
- CVE-2025-23266: Fixed hook initialization might lead to escalation of privileges (bsc#1246860)
