Synopsis

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

Description

The remote openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2025:4522-1 advisory.

 - CVE-2025-12084: quadratic complexity when building nested elements using `xml.dom.minidom` methods that depend on `_clear_id_cache()` can lead to availability issues when building excessively nested documents (bsc#1254997).
 - CVE-2025-13836: use of `Content-Length` by default when reading an HTTP response with no read amount specified can lead to OOM issues and DoS when a client deals with a malicious server (bsc#1254400).
 - CVE-2025-13837: data read by the plistlib module according to the size specified by the file itself can lead to OOM issues and DoS (bsc#1254401).

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.
