Synopsis

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

Description

The remote openSUSE 16 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2026:21412-1 advisory.

- CVE-2026-15392: failure to validate symbolic links during table path resolution could allow unauthorized file reads and writes outside the configured data director (bsc#1271629).
- CVE-2026-15043: `DBI:SQL:Nano` has incorrect predicate evaluation, which allows for bypass of file- backed filters (bsc#1271399).
- CVE-2026-60081: `DBI:ProfileData` does not limit the path index in profile parser, which enables small- file memory-amplification DoS (bsc#1271458).
- CVE-2026-60082: out-of-bounds access in `_set_fbav` when a statement handle has zero fields but a non- empty row, which allows for a process crash (bsc#1271459).

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

Update the affected perl-DBI package.
