Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:3843-2 advisory.

This update for suseconnect-ng fixes the following issue:

- Update version to 1.23.0:

- Use product identifier for product migrations. (bsc#1268596)
- Switch to using go1.26-openssl as the default Go version to install to support building the package (jsc#SCC-843, bsc#1268900).
- Fix flag parsing so that unknown flags or options are flagged as an error and the usage message is displayed. (bsc#1159776)
- InstallReleasePackage interactive/noninteractive handling should be consistent with DistUpgrade (bsc#1267478).
- Add new optional rpm_packages collector, disabled by default, to collect list of installed SUSE vendored RPM packages. (jsc#TEL-298)
- Allow deregsiter when subscribed regcode has expired (bsc#1270392, jsc#865)

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 libsuseconnect, suseconnect-ng and / or suseconnect-ruby-bindings packages.
