SUSE SLES15 Security Update : kubevirt-1.6 (SUSE-SU-2026:4441-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 363070

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-2026:4441-1 advisory.

- Package the persistent-reservation helper's entrypoint script (bsc#1276520):
virt-operator runs the pr-helper container with the command /entrypoint.sh, which symlinks the multipath socket into place and then execs qemu-pr-helper. Only multipath.conf was installed, so the container could not start and persistent reservation was unavailable. The script is upstream in cmd/pr-helper/entrypoint.sh.

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 kubevirt-1.6-manifests and / or kubevirt-1.6-virtctl packages.
