high Nessus Plugin ID 279671

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2025:4504-1 advisory.

- CVE-2025-14512: integer overflow in the GIO `escape_byte_string()` function when processing malicious files or remote filesystem attribute values can lead to denial-of-service (bsc#1254878).
- CVE-2025-14087: buffer underflow in the GVariant parser `bytestring_parse()` and `string_parse()` functions when processing attacker-influenced data may lead to crash or code execution (bsc#1254662).
- CVE-2025-13601: heap-based buffer overflow in the `g_escape_uri_string()` function when processing strings with a large number of unacceptable characters may lead to crash or code execution (bsc#1254297).

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
