SUSE SLED12 / SLES12 Security Update : libvdpau (SUSE-SU-2015:1892-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 86752

Synopsis

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

Description

libvdpau was updated to use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() for several variables so it can be more safely used in setuid applications.

- CVE-2015-5198: libvdpau: incorrect check for security transition (bnc#943967)

- CVE-2015-5199: libvdpau: directory traversal in dlopen (bnc#943968)

- CVE-2015-5200: libvdpau: vulnerability in trace functionality (bnc#943969)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
