The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:3976-1 advisory.

    pcp was updated from version 3.11.9 to version 6.2.0 (jsc#PED-8192, jsc#PED-8389):

    - Security issues fixed:

      * CVE-2024-45770: Fixed a symlink attack that allows escalating from the pcp to the root user     (bsc#1230552)
      * CVE-2024-45769: Fixed a heap corruption through metric pmstore operations (bsc#1230551)
      * CVE-2023-6917: Fixed local privilege escalation from pcp user to root in /usr/libexec/pcp/lib/pmproxy     (bsc#1217826)
      * CVE-2024-3019: Disabled redis proxy by default (bsc#1222121)

    - Major changes:

      * Add version 3 PCP archive support: instance domain change-deltas,         Y2038-safe timestamps, nanosecond-precision timestamps, arbitrary timezones support, 64-bit file     offsets used         throughout for larger (beyond 2GB) individual volumes.
        - Opt-in using the /etc/pcp.conf PCP_ARCHIVE_VERSION setting
        - Version 2 archives remain the default (for next few years).
      * Switch to using OpenSSL only throughout PCP (dropped NSS/NSPR);
        this impacts on libpcp, PMAPI clients and PMCD use of encryption;
        these are now configured and used consistently with pmproxy HTTPS support and redis-server, which were     both already         using OpenSSL.
      * New nanosecond precision timestamp PMAPI calls for PCP library interfaces that make use of timestamps.
        These are all optional, and full backward compatibility is preserved for existing tools.
      * For the full list of changes please consult the packaged CHANGELOG file

    - Other packaging changes:

      * Reintroduce libuv support for SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 (bsc#1231345)
      * Moved pmlogger_daily into main package (bsc#1222815)
      * Switched logutil and pmieutil scripts from Type=oneshot to Type=exec (bsc#1186511)
      * Change dependency from openssl-devel >= 1.1.1 to openssl-devel >= 1.0.2p.
        Required for SUSE Linux Enterprise 12.
      * Disabled 'pmda-infiniband' subpackage for SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 to resolve build issues.
      * Introduce 'pmda-resctrl' package, disabled for architectures other than x86_64.
      * Change the architecture for various subpackages to 'noarch' as they contain no binaries.
      * Disable 'pmda-mssql', as it fails to build.

The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 6.10.0.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-6.10.0.5 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered in libexpat before 2.6.3. nextScaffoldPart in xmlparse.c can have an integer     overflow for m_groupSize on 32-bit platforms (where UINT_MAX equals SIZE_MAX). (CVE-2024-45492)

  - A vulnerability was found in GNU Nano that allows a possible privilege escalation through an insecure     temporary file. If Nano is killed while editing, a file it saves to an emergency file with the permissions     of the running user provides a window of opportunity for attackers to escalate privileges through a     malicious symlink. (CVE-2024-5742)

  - A vulnerability was found in Performance Co-Pilot (PCP). This flaw allows an attacker to send specially     crafted data to the system, which could cause the program to misbehave or crash. (CVE-2024-45769)

  - A vulnerability was found in Performance Co-Pilot (PCP). This flaw can only be exploited if an attacker     has access to a compromised PCP system account. The issue is related to the pmpost tool, which is used to     log messages in the system. Under certain conditions, it runs with high-level privileges. (CVE-2024-45770)

  - The ipaddress module contained incorrect information about whether certain IPv4 and IPv6 addresses were     designated as globally reachable or private. This affected the is_private and is_global properties of     the ipaddress.IPv4Address, ipaddress.IPv4Network, ipaddress.IPv6Address, and ipaddress.IPv6Network     classes, where values wouldn't be returned in accordance with the latest information from the IANA     Special-Purpose Address Registries. CPython 3.12.4 and 3.13.0a6 contain updated information from these     registries and thus have the intended behavior. (CVE-2024-4032)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 6.10.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-6.10.1 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered in libexpat before 2.6.3. nextScaffoldPart in xmlparse.c can have an integer     overflow for m_groupSize on 32-bit platforms (where UINT_MAX equals SIZE_MAX). (CVE-2024-45492)

  - BZ2_decompress in decompress.c in bzip2 through 1.0.6 has an out-of-bounds write when there are many     selectors. (CVE-2019-12900)

  - RADIUS Protocol under RFC 2865 is susceptible to forgery attacks by a local attacker who can modify any     valid Response (Access-Accept, Access-Reject, or Access-Challenge) to any other response using a chosen-     prefix collision attack against MD5 Response Authenticator signature. (CVE-2024-3596)

  - A vulnerability was found in GNU Nano that allows a possible privilege escalation through an insecure     temporary file. If Nano is killed while editing, a file it saves to an emergency file with the permissions     of the running user provides a window of opportunity for attackers to escalate privileges through a     malicious symlink. (CVE-2024-5742)

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of     Oracle Java SE (component: Hotspot). Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 8u411,     8u411-perf, 11.0.23, 17.0.11, 21.0.3, 22.0.1; Oracle GraalVM for JDK: 17.0.11, 21.0.3, 22.0.1; Oracle     GraalVM Enterprise Edition: 20.3.14 and 21.3.10. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated     attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK,     Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized     update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM     Enterprise Edition accessible data. Note: This vulnerability can be exploited by using APIs in the     specified Component, e.g., through a web service which supplies data to the APIs. This vulnerability also     applies to Java deployments, typically in clients running sandboxed Java Web Start applications or     sandboxed Java applets, that load and run untrusted code (e.g., code that comes from the internet) and     rely on the Java sandbox for security. (CVE-2024-21131)
