high Nessus Plugin ID 325129

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote openSUSE 16 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the openSUSE- SU-2026:21222-1 advisory.

Changes in systemd:

- Better handle TLS allocation failure (bsc#1254924).
- Disable mounting `debugfs` by default (jsc#PED-8812).
- Import commit 9e8b5afe0fb2061f4a17a3022469dd62f2683960 (bsc#1267647 bsc#1267644 bsc#1262305 bsc#1263117).
- Move `systemd-pcrlock` out from the experimental sub-package to `udev` (bsc#1248261 jsc#PED-15946).
- Add a weak runtime dependency on `libtss2-tcti-device0` (bsc#1260357).
- Import commit 59336000ef7850eba0963c6a690ff3371c425929 (bsc#1261982 bsc#1261983).
- Add a weak runtime dependency on `polkit` (bsc#1259071).
- systemd-update-helper: fix the clean-state command only removing `$STATE_DIR/system` instead of `$STATE_DIR/`.
- systemd-update-helper: add `--root` option for testing convenience.
- systemd-update-helper: fix incorrect skipping of `systemctl disable` during package removal (bsc#1245551).
- systemd-update-helper: fix `do_install_units()` incorrectly returning 1 when no units need preset.
- systemd.spec: introduce `%bcond_without` docs to allow skipping man pages and `devel-doc`.
- systemd.spec: drop the `%{release}` number from the SBAT version (bsc#1251948).

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
