critical Nessus Plugin ID 333017

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-2026:3509-1 advisory.

 Update to version 8.3.33.

 Security issues fixed:

 - CVE-2026-7260: circular symbolic links in phar archives can lead to unbounded recursion and cause C stack exhaustion (bsc#1273077).
 - CVE-2026-9672: security issues in `libgd` (bsc#1273078).
 - CVE-2026-17543: improper escaping of backslashes in user-provided parameters allows for trivial SQL injection in `ext-pgsql` (bsc#1273075).

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 packages.
