critical Nessus Plugin ID 377667

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:5120-1 advisory.

- CVE-2026-110752: unclamped RFC 7111 selector range pre-allocation in fragment() can cause memory exhaustion via large index ranges (bsc#1286138).
- CVE-2026-110754: unfreed field array memory leak on getline() syntax errors can lead to process memory exhaustion via malformed CSV input (bsc#1286188).
- CVE-2026-110755: quadratic buffer copying overhead during CR-only line parsing in getline() can cause CPU exhaustion and denial of service (bsc#1286198).
- CVE-2026-110756: invalid UTF-8 bytes during buffer flushes in print() can cause silent field truncation (bsc#1286130).
- CVE-2026-110757: unquoted writing of numeric-flagged strings containing newlines in combine() and print() can cause record splitting and row injection (bsc#1286191).
- CVE-2026-110758: missing buffer start boundary check in strip_trail_whitespace under allow_whitespace can cause heap out-of-bounds read and memory corruption (bsc#1286137).
- CVE-2026-110759: improper end-of-file marker handling after a lone CR can cause Text::CSV_XS to inject an unexpected 0xFF byte (bsc#1286128).

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
