Synopsis

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

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:1347-1 advisory.

 Update to version 9.2.0280.

 - CVE-2026-34982: missing input validation allows for a modeline sandbox bypass and can lead to arbitrary OS command execution (bsc#1261271).
 - CVE-2026-34714: missing checks allow for a `tabpanel` modeline escape and can lead to arbitrary OS command execution (bsc#1261191).
 - CVE-2026-33412: improper escaping of newline characters allows for command injection in `glob` and can lead to arbitrary code execution (bsc#1259985).

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.
